Irish stew

[petrea_mitchell]

Technically an Irish casserole, since the recipe I used called for simply piling the ingredients into a covered dish and baking them.

2 lbs boneless lamb (recipe called for shoulder, I couldn't find shoulder, I forget now what I did find)
4 medium Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and cut into 1" pieces (recipe called for russet, but I just wrote down "potatoes" and forgot)
3 large onions, cut into 1" pieces
1/2 tsp dried thyme (why does everything in my soup recipe book call for thyme)
4 cups chicken broth
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce

Not sure if it was supposed to wind up as oily as it did, but I liked it anyway. Will definitely make again sometime when the logistics of finding some lamb are simpler.

I suspect that browning the meat to render off some of the fat might give a more appealing result.
