Irish stew with thyme
Any additions to the few ingredients in this dish would detract from the pure flavour and turn it into just another stew.

- Arrange half the meat in the bottom of a medium, flameproof casserole and cover with half the onions followed by half the potatoes, seasoning each layer with salt and pepper and a little thyme. Repeat the layers, seasoning as before and finishing with potatoes. Pour over enough water to just cover the top layer.
- Bring to the boil, reduce the heat, cover and cook very gently for 1 1/2 hours, or until the meat and potatoes are tender. Check frequently to make sure that the water has not evaporated and add a little more, if necessary. Serve with the traditional accompaniment of steamed red cabbage, if desired.
