Thanks for your comment. I guess first off if you’d had a look at ‘the story’ you’d see that I was born and raised in Kerry. I’ve only lived here for the past 10 years or so American I’m not. The whole thing with a recipe I think is that it’s really only a tried and tested guideline for a dish that works. You can change vegetables if you want. Frozen veg work fine for some recipes as they’re the best next step to the fresh from the ground veg. An Irish stew is traditionally lamb although I used the cheapest cut of beef here, onions, carrots, potatoes. I grew up eating it too but it doesn’t mean I can’t play around with it especially if the core traditional ingredients are still in there. The ‘bouquet garni’ is just a posh way of saying fresh herbs but you could use dried just as easy. Thyme and rosemary have been growing in the wild for centuries.
I appreciate your viewpoint.
Cheers.

One thing I notice that’s lacking in your recipe is the appreciation of the inability of a great many people here in Ireland at the moment who can afford the ingredients. Are you American by any chance? Are there any cheaper ingredient alternatives perhaps such as the frozen cheap foods from the american and german supermarket chains that ye have us swamped with? I grew up on beef stew from fresh suppliers, but leeks, bouquet of herbs, garlic and wine just didn’t grow in this country. Please dont call this an Irish stew for gods sake

I try not to use too much salt in my cooking, just enough to enhance the flavour. Hope you enjoy it.

I am currently using diet to control my blood pressure. I notice that this recipe does not use a lot of salt. Thanks. I’ll give it a go
