Irish Lamb Stew with Roasted Root Veg

St. Patrick's Day - Holidays and Events

Great way to use up roast lamb leftovers. The meat becomes so tender after being simmered for so long. My Irish husband ate 3 huge bowls of this the first time I made it. He said it was better than his grandma's back at home in Ireland.
