Irish Stew with Mushrooms and Lentils
Prepare ingredients. Trim excess fat from the lamb or beef and cut it into bite-sized pieces. Sear the Meat. Add a small amount of oil and brown the meat in batches, ensuring a golden crust. Heat half tablespoon olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion and celery and cook 5 to 7 minutes until softened. Add mushrooms and cook 5 minutes until lightly browned. Add meat, potatoes, turnips, carrots, and lentils. Stir in tomato paste, Dijon mustard, paprika, sugar, salt, and black pepper. Slowly pour in broth while stirring. Bring to a boil then reduce heat to low and cover. Simmer 1.5-2 hours, stirring occasionally. The stew is ready when the meat is tender & potatoes have thickened the broth.
