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.

That looks really tasty. A stew like this is perfect for the cold weather we’ve been having in my area lately.

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!
We haven’t had lamb stew in quite a while. I bet this one tastes phenomenal.
