First off no Irish person would have rice in their stew. Next it was terrible flavour. I can’t see by reading the ingredients but there was some overpowering spice(rosemary?) that ruined the overall stew. I tried to compensate by adding beef broth and tomato paste to dampen the stew but it didn’t work. I tried giving it to a neighbour but she declined in taking more because of the spice. Please revisit the recipe!
