Conan O'Brien's Stew (Not!)

Conan O'BrienOK, this is a couple of days late, but on Monday's episode of Late Night with Conan O'Brien, the host mentioned that in the new edition of Good Housekeeping, there's a recipe for the St. Patrick's Day Stew that O'Brien is famous for. Only one problem: it's not O'Brien's recipe, he doesn't cook, and he has no idea who sent this to the magazine. Here's video from the episode to see Conan's reaction (March 17 episode, around the 8:10 mark, right after the monologue).

Of course, that doesn't mean that we can't post the recipe here! It's after the jump.

Conan O'Brien's St. Patrick's Day Stew

2 cups diagonally sliced carrots
2 cups diagonally sliced parsnips
2 cups sliced onions
1 1/2 lbs small white potatoes, cut into quarters
salt and pepper
1 1/2 tsp dried thyme
2 lbs boneless lamb stew meat
1 1/2 cups beef broth
4 cups plus 3 tablespoons cold water
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour

Preheat oven to 350 F. In heavy, 6 quart Dutch oven, spread half of vegetables, season with 3/4 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp pepper, and half of thyme. Top with meat then remaining vegetables. Season with 1/4 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp pepper, and remaining thyme. Add broth and 4 cups water. Cover and cook in over 2 1/2 hours or until meat and vegetables are tender.

Transfer meat and vegetables to bowl. Cover and keep warm. In cup, blend flour with remaining water. Stir into hot liquid in Dutch oven. Heat to boiling on top of range. Skim off fat. Return meat and vegetables to Dutch oven. Serves 6.

Except it's not from him again. Then he did a whole joke/skit on it with all sorts of ugly recipes. (I would post a youtube link, but I have limited internet access at work).
