_*Irish Stew_--1 pound middle neck mutton, 2 pounds potatoes, 4
onions, 1 tablespoon Crisco, bunch of herbs, pepper and salt, 1
tablespoon flour, 1 teaspoon chopped parsley, and cold water.
Put Crisco into saucepan with mutton which should be cut into small
pieces. Peel and quarter onions, and put them in saucepan, add herbs
and barely cover with cold water. Peel potatoes, choose small ones and
do not cut them up, and lay over meat, sprinkle little salt and pepper
on potatoes and bring to boil. Then add flour and stand saucepan where
it will stew gently 2 hours. Take out herbs, season to taste with
salt and pepper. Dish up meat in circle on flat dish, put potatoes and
onions in center, leaving 1 potato in saucepan, to mash and thicken
the gravy a little, pour gravy over stew, and sprinkle with parsley.
Inferior cuts of mutton can be used advantageously for this dish,
such as scrag-end or breast of mutton; the bones and gristle with long
stewing give a nice flavor to the dish.
