👨‍🍳 조리법

1
Pat the lamb dry with paper towels and season generously with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Brown the lamb in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot. Remove browned lamb and set aside.
2
Add the chopped onions, carrots, and leeks to the pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 8-10 minutes. If the pot is dry, add a little more oil.
3
Return the browned lamb to the pot. Pour in the lamb or beef stock, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot. Bring to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook for 1.5 hours, or until the lamb is tender.
4
Add the cubed potatoes to the pot. Continue to simmer, covered, for another 30 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
5
Stir in the blanched and chopped nettle leaves, fresh parsley, and thyme. Cook for a further 5 minutes, allowing the nettles to wilt and the flavors to meld. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
6
Serve hot, ladled into bowls. It's traditionally served with brown soda bread.

💡 전문가 팁

✓Wear gloves when handling raw nettles to avoid stings. Blanching neutralizes the sting.
✓For a thicker stew, you can mash some of the cooked potatoes against the side of the pot before adding the nettles.
✓If nettles are out of season, spinach can be used as a substitute, though the flavor will be different.
