Polly Arnold shares her family’s Irish stew recipe with Noni Needs.
A traditional Irish family recipe past down the generations.
What better restorative, warming, delicious, St Patrick’s celebratory meal than Irish stew.
The recipe is published below.
Polly’s serving tip: Serve in large old fashioned soup bowls with warmed, crunchy French stick and a pint of Guinness!
Serves 4 people
You’ll need:
1.5kg neck of lamb
1 kg floury potatoes
1 kg carrots
400g shallots
1 bay leaf
4 sprigs of Thyme
2 handfuls of chopped parsley
1 litre of water or lamb stock
30g butter
STEP 1
Cut the lamb into large chunks. Peel the potatoes and cut into chunks the same size as the meat. Put the potatoes into a bowl of water to keep them white. Peel the carrots and cut into similar size chunks any shape you like – disks or batons. Peel the onions leaving them whole – don’t worry about the differing sizes especially with the ones that naturally split.
STEP 4
Put the lamb in a large casserole. Pour in the water to submerge the meat and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat and simmer gently for 1 hour occasionally skimming off all the impurities from the surface with a small sieve.
STEP 5
Add the potatoes, carrots, thyme, bay leaf and shallots – adding more water if it is needed. Season generously and simmer for a further 45 minutes, stirring occasionally.
STEP 6
Test all elements to see if they are tender – if not just let it gently simmer until everything is tender. Take off the heat, add the parsley and butter, cover (don’t stir) and leave for 15 minutes.
Serve in large old fashioned soup bowls with warmed, crunchy French stick and a pint of Guinness!

Yifat Castle from Mooka Gelato offers Noni Needs a heavenly smelling, simple and quick and easy recipe from her childhood.
It is called Boeekos pronounced (bo ee kos).
They are a sort of a cheese bun/scone and originate in the Balkan (the recipe is from Yifat’s neighbour who was from Bulgaria).
You will need :
350g self raising flour
1 Large egg
200g melted butter
250g cottage cheese
100g of grated Cheddar cheese
100g Parmesan or pecorino
100g Feta cheese
For decoration:
Sesame seeds
An egg or a bit of milk for brushing
Equipment:
Bowl and a large spoon
Lightly greased Muffin tray for 12 muffins
Put all the ingredients into a bowl and mix well. You can do this by hand or using a free standing mixer. There might still be few cheesy lumps but as long it’s all incorporated you are good to go!
Divide the mix evenly into the 12 spaces In your muffin tray. It looks like a horrible sticky mess but fear not ! The result is impressive and addictive too.
Brush with milk or egg and sprinkle with the sesame seeds. Bake in an oven at 200c for about 20 minutes. You will know the buns are ready because your kitchen would smell heavenly and the buns would be lightly browned . Cool down and enjoy as a light lunch with a little salad or just as a snack.
* if you don’t have a muffin tray you can roll out the mix/ dough by hand and put on a baking tray covered in baking parchment. They might look a bit wonky but that’s ok; I look a bit wonky too but still gorgeous.
If you want to get Mooka by the scoop visit Fitzcane’s in Chichester or Shakeadelic in Chichester. You can also buy it by the tub from Madelein’s kitchen in Lavant street.

Vickie’s Mujadra Recipe:
It’s VEGAN, highly nutritious, cheap and easy to make, COMFORTING and all the ingredients, except for onions are available in JUNIPER – in the amounts you want – waste free and packaging free! (If you need an onion, get one from Bunches just down the road). Based on a recipe from Ottolenghi’s ‘Jerusalem’ cookbook:
You’ll need:
250 green lentils
4 medium onions
3 tbs plain flour
½ tsp turmeric
1 ½ tsp all spice
1 ½ tsp cinnamon
2 tsp cumin seeds
½ tbs coriander seeds
200g basmati rice
I tsp sugar
350 ml water
Veg oil
2 tbs olive oil
Salt and ground black pepper
Cook the lentils in plenty of salted boiling water for 13 mins. Drain.
Slice onions finely then in a bowl mix with the flour and 1tsp salt to coat
Fry the onions (in a deep sided frying pan with a lid) in plenty of medium hot veg oil IN BATCHES so they are crispy and brown but not burnt. Drain on kitchen paper.
Wipe the pan clean and dry-fry cumin and coriander for about a minute, add the uncooked rice, olive oil, remaining spice, sugar, salt and plenty of ground black pepper. Stir for a minute then add the cooked lentils and the water. Cover with your lid and very GENTLY simmer for 15 mins. With lid still on, take off the heat and leave to sit steaming for a further 10 mins. Scatter ½ the onions over and mix in, then sprinkle the remaining ones on top.
YUM! We’d always love to hear what you think of our recipes and any of your own you’ve tried out.
