This hearty stew combines Guinness with lamb for a rich and tasty Irish Stew.
I usually see recipes for Guinness Stew with beef, but Guinness Lamb Stew is more traditionally Irish and it tastes great too. Â The stew is better with a long slow simmering, so I like to add the potatoes and carrots for only the last 45 minutes, so they don’t get over cooked.
The stew makes a great dinner for St. Patrick’s Day, and it goes perfectly with the Guinness Bread recipe I posted last week.

I cook (bake mostly) with Guinness a lot but I’ve never tried a stew. This time of year is perfect for some home cooked, hearty, stew and yours looks so colorful and delicious!

This looks amazing- I love lamb and people don’t utilize it enough for stews, which makes me sad. Thanks for sharing!
