Irish Lamb Stew Irish Lamb Stew
This recipe is from Hubby's paternal 'Nana' (grandmother). We spoke on the phone twice before Hubby and I were wed and off to Germany. She was pure Irish, lilting accent and all. She gave me this recipe on our second phone call. I was so grateful and asked what I could give her. Her answer, a great-granddaughter! All the great-grandkids were boys and she longed for a girl. Sadly she passed away while we were in Germany... and sadder still we only have a son. I wish we could have met... I bet she would have had endless stories to tell! This has become our traditional Samhain dinner and a remembrance of Nana. This recipe is very different from others, which have carrots and potatoes. I asked Nana about the missing root veggies and she stated that it is meant to be served with Colcannon, a mashed potato and cabbage or kale dish, so didn't need them.

Easy Dwenjang Jjigae (Korean Miso Stew) for 2 Easy Dwenjang Jjigae (Korean Miso Stew) for 2
My slightly lighter take on Dwenjang Jjigae, which is a pungent Korean stew made with dwenjang (basically Korean style miso). (Note that stew in Korean cuisine isn't that super thick, stand a fork up in it type of texture, but something in between a soup and stew. My recipe is much closer to soup.)If you don't have dwenjang, you can totally use Japanese style miso. The flavor and aroma are less pungent, but the result will still be delicious.Just put the ingredients in a pot, bring 'em to a boil, and then let them simmer, and that's it.We usually enjoy this with a bowl of steamed rice. x -
