irish country stew
June 17th, 2009
You might not believe it is possible to lose weight while on a diet plan which includes irish country stew but it is obtainable. The key is to not eat irish country stew or other high calorie beef/pork/lamb/veal every day but in moderation.
As an example, I allow myself these kinds of food one meal per week. I eat a low calorie diet for most of the week, say 1200 to 1600 calories each day, and then one day, I eat anything - without going overboard of course.
I have been eating this way for the last 2 weeks and it has aided me to lose 5 kilos. I have not changed my exercise regime or taken any pills or diet food. I have simply been careful of what I eat on most days and then eat whatever I feel like one day per week.
I also think it helps to have a little support when dieting and for that I joined the Biggest Loser club. They have several tools to enable you to monitor your progress and achieve your goals.

Irish Country Stew
8 small lamb chops
Salt and pepper
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Parsley
Bay leaves
Peppercorns
Thyme
Rosemary
1 pound potatoes (3 to 4 medium)
2 cups finely shredded cabbage
1 medium onion, chopped
1 large leek (white), thinly sliced
12 small white onions
1 1/2 cups diced celery stalks
1 1/2 cups peas
Chopped fresh parsley
Season chops with salt and pepper.
Heat oil in saucepan wide enough to hold all chops in a single layer. Brown on both sides. Spoon off any melted fat and add enough water to cover chops. Bring to a boil and add parsley, bay leaf, peppercorns, thyme and rosemary enclosed in cheesecloth. Lower heat and simmer.
Meanwhile, peel potatoes and shape into bite size rounds. Chop trimmings from potatoes into small pieces. Add potatoes, trimmings, cabbage, onion, well-rinsed leek, white onions and celery to chops and liquid. Simmer 20 minutes, then add peas. Add a little more water if needed during cooking. Simmer 10 minutes more or until potatoes are tender.
Garnish with parsley and serve.
Makes 4 servings.
