Description

Savory Irish Meatball Stew: A Comforting Classic


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 pound ground lamb
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 large onion, diced
  • 4 carrots, sliced
  • 4 potatoes, diced
  • 4 cup beef broth
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1 cup frozen peas

Instructions

1. Prepare the Meatballs: In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, ground lamb, breadcrumbs, parsley, Parmesan, egg, garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly incorporated. Shape the mixture into small, bite-sized meatballs.

2. Brown the Meatballs: Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the meatballs and brown them on all sides, about 2-3 minutes per side. Once browned, remove the meatballs from the pot and set them aside.

3. Sauté the Vegetables: In the same pot, add the diced onion, sliced carrots, and diced potatoes. Sauté the vegetables for 5-6 minutes, or until they begin to soften.

4. Add Broth and Seasonings: Stir in the tomato paste, dried thyme, dried rosemary, and beef broth. Bring the mixture to a simmer.

5. Simmer the Stew: Return the browned meatballs to the pot, cover, and let the stew simmer for 30-35 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the meatballs are cooked through.

6. Finish with Peas: In the final 5 minutes of simmering, stir in the frozen peas to allow them to warm through.

7. Serve and Enjoy: Ladle the Irish Meatball Stew into bowls and savor the comforting flavors of this timeless Irish classic. Pair it with a crusty loaf of bread for a truly satisfying meal.

Notes

The key to this Irish Meatball Stew is the perfect balance of ingredients. The ground beef and lamb provide a rich, meaty flavor, while the breadcrumbs, parsley, and Parmesan add depth and texture to the meatballs. The array of vegetables – from the earthy potatoes to the sweet peas – creates a well-rounded and satisfying dish.
