Green Beer "slàinte!"

Tue, 05 Apr 2005 19:28:49 -0400

I myself love Guinness a Stout that's a very dark, almost black full-bodied beer!Nothing like it! But for this you'll need a lighter beer like an IRISH AMBER, Irish Red Ale, or a Golden Irish Lager Style BeerPint Glasses (16 oz). I make this for fun on St. Patty's Day. For the kids use a clear juice with coloring. This is a great way to get people interested in culture! Bring them in and the teach them. -- posted by ~Rita~

Smoked Wild Irish Salmon With Chive Pancakes

Thu, 26 May 2005 09:19:32 -0400

What a delicious combination: smoked salmon and chive pancakes! This dish is part of Irish cook Kevin Dundon's dinner menu for St Patrick's Day that I was delighted to find just recently in the March 2005 edition of the BBC Good Food magazine. And I certainly won't be waiting for St Patrick's Day 2006 before I try it. He describes this as a 'prepare ahead starter': the pancakes are served at room temperature. One detail in this recipe, I suppose incidental, that really intrigued me was that he doesn't use commercial spray-on oil. A reminder that there really are alternatives to so many of the products that the advertisers try to foist upon us. He suggests a simple alternative, one I opted for years ago after reading that commercial spray-on oils contain carcinogenics. But I have rarely seen recipes that suggest this. I have already posted the side dish to Kevin Dundon's St Patrick's Day menu: his scrumptiously creamy Colcannon. Next I shall be posting the main course dish: Guinness & Honey Glazed Pork. All the courses in his St Patrick's Day - or ANY day - menu sound just SO delicious! -- posted by bluemoon downunder

Guinness & Honey Glazed Pork Loin

Fri, 27 May 2005 14:56:04 -0400

In his Las Vegas restaurant, The Nine Fine Englishmen, Kevin Dundon serves this Guinness glaze in a dish mixed with olive oil for dipping bread into instead of butter. Pork loin cooked with this glaze sounded just too delicious not to share. I found this recipe in the March 2005 issue of the BBC Good Food magazine. It is part of Irish cook Kevin Dundon's suggested St Patrick's Day dinner menu. He serves this pork loin with colcannon and cabbage. As he says I love buttered cabbage with this pork. Simply heat a knob of butter and cook the remaining finely shredded cabbage (the other half of the Savoy cabbage used in his colcannon recipe) for 5 minutes, so its still just a little crunchy. I have already posted his side dish colcannon - Colcannon recipe #123663 - and his prepare-ahead starter - Smoked Wild Irish Salmon With Chive Pancakes recipe #123667. The preparation and cooking times provided below are my guesstimates. Kevin says that this dish will be "ready in 2 hours". Please mention your experience of cooking times if reviewing the recipe. Ill also post his dessert for this St Patrick's Day menu: Sheridans Cream Sticky Pudding. All the dishes in this menu sound like any-time-of-year dishes to me! I certainly shan't be waiting until 17 March 2006 before making any of them! -- posted by bluemoon downunder

We Want Some Figgy Pudding

Mon, 06 Jun 2005 11:18:39 -0400

This is a traditional ritualistic cake that we serve after Christmas dinner.

Chocolate Bullets

Wed, 28 Sep 2005 22:54:58 -0400

This recipe for an oh-so-decadently-delicious Irish-Greek-chocolate-and-cream drink was part of an article on ouzo in the October 2005 issue of cooking magazine 'Australian Good Taste'. The article was called 'Greece Lightning' and begins: "A potent Greek spirit that has the ability to turn cloudy, ouzo can have the same effect on you - so take care not to overindulge in our delicious drinks, dessert or dressing." A cocktail? Well the ingredients suggest that but the photograph showed Chocolate Bullets served in two tall smoothie-style glasses. This is clearly not a drink for the faint-hearted! I've listed this as serving 2, but I think it could also be served in 4 cocktail glasses. The original recipe specified "chocolate topping" as the fourth ingredient; ever with a mind of its own, Zaar converted this to "chocolate fudge topping", which would I imagine be sweeter. BTW, if you're using metric measurements, 1 cup = 250 ml. From the same magazine, I have also posted Recipe #139444 and Recipe #139460. -- posted by bluemoon downunder

Bailey's Chocolate Mousse Cake

Fri, 13 Jan 2006 22:00:22 -0500

This recipe comes from The Ballykissangel Cookbook which has been leant to me by my good friend Joan. Ballykissangel was a very popular gentle drama series set in the fictional Irish village of the same name. The cookbook is a collection of traditional and modern Irish recipes, created by Aidan Dempsey, who used to do the catering for the BBC film unit. This cake can be made in advance, frozen, then served straight from the freezer. The recipe states that this serves 4, but I reckon that that's a typo; this will be rich and even though the cake is not deep, a quarter of a 9 inch cake still sounds like a lot of cake to me! You will gather that this means that I havent tried this yet, but it sounds super good and super easy to make; it would also be a good way to use up egg yolks if you have been making meringues. Cooking time is freezing time. -- posted by Mrs B

Mashed Potatoes With Roasted Garlic and Herbs

Potatoes are comfort food But when you add Lavender to it and you have real comfort food! Lavender and rosemary are a match made in heaven. Use together or alone. Your choice. You can throw fresh garlic into the potatoes when boiling in place of roasting them for ease. Almost as good as roasted garlic. To bring it over the top try it topped with Recipe #243288. -- posted by ~Rita~

Pride of Irish Soup

Tue, 23 May 2006 16:38:46 -0400

This recipe was posted for ZWT II and the source is www.elook.org. I picked this dish because soups served with crusty bread are very popular starter courses for Icelandic dinner parties and welcome fare on cold nights. I love the name of this soup and it would be so good served with smoked Icelandic lamb meat. Dare I also mention that my Mother's maiden name was Sullivan and my father's last name was Ryan! So I'm an Irish Colleen born in the U.S., half-raised on Czech food, who developed a fondness for Tex-Mex fare, and eventually moved to Iceland. Now that's a real culinary cultural exchange program of epic proportion! :-) ... PLS NOTE: In response to reviewer comments, I amended this recipe to make the preparation easier and clearer. -- posted by twissis

Alpine Mountaineer

Fri, 02 Mar 2007 15:45:31 -0500

Bring the Swiss Alps to you!I just posted this recipe on honor of the Gruyere Gurlz climb to the Alps. At least in a glass. After climbing the Alps I wanted to bring back the memories. So I tossed this drink together. In the 1860s, absinthe had become so popular that in most of Fraces cafés and cabarets 5 p.m. signalled lheure verte ('the green hour'). Still, it remained expensive and was favored mainly by the bourgeoisie and eccentric Bohemian artists. By the 1880s, however, the price had dropped significantly, the market expanded, and absinthe soon became the drink of France; by 1910 the French were consuming 36 million litres of absinthe per year. -- posted by ~Rita~

If your having trouble choosing to make a Christmas cake or a pudding, then this one is the best of both worlds. If you serve it cold it's like cake. If you serve it warm it's like pudding. Because they are individual, you each person can pick how they want it! You can store it for up to a month before eating and it doesn't need aging or resting like some other recipes do so you can make it a day ahead. I love this and so does my family. -- posted by Chef #642754

Dublin Lawyer - Lobster Dublin Style With Whiskey and Cream

Mon, 25 Feb 2008 18:23:28 -0500

A decadant classic Irish recipe which is thought to be at least two centuries old; fresh lobster baked with cream and Irish whiskey - delectable! Though no one's absolutely sure where Dublin Lawyer got its name, locals still insist that it's probably because Dublin lawyers had a reputation for being rich and having a lot of whiskey in them! The dish remains simple, quick and easy to make, but delivers on the luxury and romantic meal front! Try this out for St Patrick's Day as a seafood alternative to the usual corned beef and cabbage stew. -- posted by French Tart

The Original Shannon Airport Irish Coffee

Fri, 29 Feb 2008 19:32:31 -0500

The original recipe as per Joseph Sheridan should be: "Cream, rich as an Irish brogue; Coffee, strong as a friendly hand; Sugar, sweet as the tongue of a rogue; Whiskey, smooth as the wit of the land." An After Dinner classic and with a rich history - use good Irish Whiskey, freshly brewed coffee and pouring cream (Double cream) - NOT whipped cream for this authentic and delectable boozy coffee! History: From 1939 to 1945 Joseph Sheridan was the head Chef of a catering company based at the Shannon airport (20 miles north of Limerick , Ireland ). Joseph Sheridan was taxed with trying to find a suitable drink for passengers who had traveled for eighteen hours by seaplane and then had to travel by boat to the terminal. Hot coffee and tea was obviously not enough to take the chill out of the passengers so Joseph began to offer an alternative. His mix of Irish whiskey and coffee became known as Irish Coffee, and Joseph had secured his place in drink history To this day if you travel through Shannon Airport you will find the Sheridan Bar in the departures lounge, and a plaque that has been placed there in honour of Josephs great warm libation. (and yes, they do serve his original Irish Coffee recipe.) Sláinte! -- posted by French Tart

From Good Food Magazine, March 1986. This is not only a great dessert for St. Patrick's Day, but works well for other special occasions. The swirl of raspberry preserves gives it a nice party touch. The 4 hours of freezing time has not been included in the preparation time. -- posted by JackieOhNo!

Mashed Potatoes With Kale (Colcannon)

Tue, 28 Oct 2008 00:26:26 -0400

Another in the New York Times' "Recipes for Health Series" by Martha Rose Shulman. This Irish dish is traditionally eaten around Halloween. This version used kale rather than the more common cabbage. -- posted by blucoat

Homemade Baileys Irish Cream

Thu, 13 Nov 2008 17:54:21 -0500

This tastes just like the store-bought version. I make it every year, before Christmas, to give as gifts (and of course to keep some for ourselves!). It ends up being less expensive than buying from the store AND you get to say that you made it yourself! :) -- posted by LifeIsGood

Meg's Irish Soda Bread Cookies

Sun, 16 Nov 2008 23:35:31 -0500

This is the easiest cookie recipe ever and the result is a melt-in-your mouth dessert that is great with a cup of tea, coffee, cider, hot chocolate, whatever. If made properly they taste more like little cakes. This is a traditional Irish recipe I have tweaked over the years to make my own. I usually double this recipe since they tend to go very quickly! -- posted by Chef #1006007

Flax Seed Cloverleaf Rolls

Wed, 03 Dec 2008 23:34:39 -0500

Cloverleaf rolls look like little clovers, with three sections to the rolls. This look is achieved easily, and the rolls require less forming and shaping than other types because they are baked in muffin tins. Some cloverleaf rolls have tiny crosses marked on each section. This is a matter of preference, meant to reference the Holy Trinity, which in Ireland is often compared to the clover. -- posted by Sharon123

Irish Roast Beast

Mon, 02 Mar 2009 00:30:51 -0500

This is a recipe from Joanne Fluke's mystery "Sugar Cookie Murder." This pot roast is made with Guinness stout (what else?) and has directions for either making in the slow cooker or in the oven. Something different for St. Paddy's Day and the kids (and grown-ups) will get a kick out of the name. Don't forget to make your favorite "Irish Soda Bread" and serve with mashed potatoes and carrots. Enjoy!! -- posted by Alan in SW Florida

The Ultimate Irish Feast

Wed, 11 Mar 2009 12:29:31 -0400

The best tasting corned beef ever. I don't always add the cabbage, onions and potatoes; I prefer to make a separate casserole, as I am not fond of boiled cabbage. Either way, it's the glaze that makes this corned beef so delicious. I don't remember where the recipe came from, but I have been making it for many years. I buy the largest size brisket I can find, since the leftovers are amazing on rye bread glazed with the mustard. -- posted by Chef Tami 2

Cabbage & Potato Bake

Wed, 11 Mar 2009 12:30:58 -0400

This recipe is quite delicious with corned beef. It is much tastier than boiled vegetables. I believe I cut this recipe out of a magazine years ago. -- posted by Chef Tami 2

Irish Beef Hand Pies

Thu, 12 Mar 2009 00:07:34 -0400

On St Patrick's Day or on any other day, tuck the makings of traditional beef-and-potato stew into flaky pastries you can bake straight from the freezer. These are like empanadas and can be stuffed with all vegetables, or maybe berries of some kind, or sausages and/or other meats. Everyday Food or Martha Stewart web site.;) -- posted by Manami

Whiskey Smoked Salmon Spread

Fri, 10 Jul 2009 14:17:06 -0400

This is a delicious dip/spread that is great on a bagel. Or, if you are hosting a brunch, you can serve it on mini bagels garnished with some cucumber slices. Of course, if you don't like or drink whiskey, you can substitute milk in its place. -- posted by JackieOhNo!

Guinness Cupcakes

Wed, 11 Nov 2009 10:35:49 -0500

Nigella Lawson's Guinness Cake is much talked about. This is a downsized version of my adaptions to her recipe, perfect for making 12 delicious cupcakes that look like miniature pints of Guinness. It's a bit of a grown up delicacy, the flavours might be a little rich for young kids, but chocoaholics and Guinness lovers will be delighted. -- posted by Jillsybean
