Irish stew is something of a staple in our house. It’s easy to make, and relatively inexpensive given it is traditionally made with lamb neck chops and a potatoes, which speak to the origins of the dish. With St Patrick’s Day not far away, we have decided to put a new spin the dish, using a lamb shoulder for the protein, which is smoked first, then braised in what will eventually become the gravy and vegetables of the dish. #irish #irishstew #stpatricksday #bbq #barbecue
