Smoked Salmon on Irish Soda Bread Crostini

Tue, 18 Mar 2008 15:50:02 -0400

This is the PERFECT appetizer to kick off your St. Patty's Day meal. Think outside the box and give this unexpected appetizer a whirl. The crumbly bread with the tangy raisins and hint of caraway paired with creamy chive butter and cold smoked salmon goes perfectly with a black and tan or crisp white. Follow it up with a corned beef and cabbage main course and your Irish eyes will DEFINITELY be smiling. Based on a Food Network Test Kitchen Recipe with my spin on it. -- posted by Auntie Anne & Uncle Mark

Sticky Guinness Chicken Wings

Thu, 27 Mar 2008 01:53:09 -0400

This is based on my grandmother's recipe for Pot Roasted Chicken, a sort of fusion dish. It has a definite bite from the pepper and Guinness and is not for the fainthearted *wink* If you prefer something gentler, use half Guiness and half water. The original dish is a mixture of Asian and Western ingredients and cooking methods. This is my lazy version, which was inspired by Buffalo Chicken Wings. It's good with white or buttered rice or pasta or as finger food when you're having drinks. -- posted by danadooley

Green Tomato Spirals

Mon, 14 Apr 2008 01:16:23 -0400

These don't have to be cut into spirals; just thinly slice the green tomatoes instead. (I have a gadget that cuts potatoes, onions, etc into long spirals, like curly fries, and wondered how it would do with a green tomato. It did great!). These are best eaten right after frying as they tend to lose their crispiness the longer they sit. I serve them with ranch dressing. -- posted by mailbelle

Traditional Irish Shepherd's Pie

Mon, 05 May 2008 22:13:57 -0400

Posting this per a request. I've said it once and I'll say it again there is nothing Irish about Corned Beef and Cabbage, but Shepherd's Pie has always been and still is a staple of traditional Irish cooking. This is a really easy, but tasty recipe that the whole family will enjoy. It's nutritionally sound with all the major food groups represented. The British use lamb in their Shepherd's Pie, but we've always used beef. Do whatever you prefer or even try turkey if you're watching fat content. This sauce is lovely and rich and should go well with any meat. You can use fresh or leftover mashed potato. I usually use 3 tbsp of ketchup instead of the 2tbsp of tomato paste as I like the hint of sweetness, but traditionally the paste would be more sound! You can also make individual pies which are always a hit with the kids. This freezes beautifully too, so make two and save one! Just let it defrost and glaze with the egg and pop into the oven as directed. Enjoy! :) -- posted by Dewdropdeb

From the famous Silver Palate caterers, this is a step up from your traditional corned beef. Sophisticated sweet and tart flavors update the classic American recipe that makes an impressive centerpiece to your buffet menu. Baked to a beautifully glazed finish, the hot corned beef is sliced thickly and offered with additional Port sauce. Yum! -- posted by JackieOhNo!

Vampire Deterrent

Tue, 24 Jun 2008 16:47:04 -0400

I got this recipe originally from my old next-door neighbor. I watched her make it one Friday in 3 minutes flat, and when she took the cover off her food processor the heavenly smell of garlic just wafted throughout the house and killed every vampire in the neighborhood. My neighbor calls this Moroccan Zchug, my friends call it That-Yummy-Garlic-Stuff and I just smile and pile it on barbecued meats, baked potatoes, whatever. I actually happen to like vampires -- my father was born in Transylvania -- so I hope none are offended by this recipe. Just a boring little note here: there are two kinds of people in this world, cilantro lovers and cilantro haters. I belong to the former, Sushiman to the latter. If you are like Sushiman, just sub parsley for the cilantro. Since I let him put a ring on my finger and pay for my electricity, I've been making it with parsley instead and it's just as good. -- posted by Mirj

Caraway Cabbage With Sausage and Potatoes

Mon, 07 Jul 2008 02:56:35 -0400

This is so much better when made with cabbage and potatoes straight from the ground. Most people I know use just a couple of tablespoons of spicy or hot sweet mustard, but I just use regular yellow mustard (and more of it) due to personal preference. I also use a lower fat pork & alligator sausage from Winn-Dixie that might not be available everywhere. I'm sure it would work with any kind. -- posted by sanguis

Northern Ireland Potato Soup

Sun, 13 Jul 2008 03:39:06 -0400

I actually got this recipe in my home-ec class in high school. My BF (and my ex-BF) loved this soup so much! It is perfect for cold fall days, and makes enough to warm up a family. So creamy! You can sub half and half for the heavy cream to save on calories, but the soup doesn't come out as thick so I just try to eat healthy the rest of the day to make up for it :) -- posted by Smoofinator

Gumdrop Roses

Yummy Brussels Sprouts With Bacon & Onion

Tue, 04 Nov 2008 22:45:52 -0500

I came up with this myself. Since brussels sprouts have a similar flavor to cabbage, I have adapted my cabbage recipe for them. My husband thought he did not like brussels sprouts until I made these.

Baked Creamed Cabbage II

Mon, 10 Nov 2008 23:14:56 -0500

I found this recipe in a little cookbook entitled "Green Thumbs in the Kitchen." It is almost exactly like the one already posted which is why I added the Roman Numeral II to the title. The only variation is the addition of grated cheese to the topping. For those of you who are cabbage lovers as I am, this is terrific, low calorie and diabetic-friendly. -- posted by Happy Hippie

Tue, 30 Dec 2008 00:32:25 -0500

From Bon Appetit, November 1993. I haven't made this yet but it sounds very good. I think I will make it using a homemade thin pizza crust. Freshly grated parmesan could be used in place of the mozzarella for increased flavor. For St. Patrick's Day could add some cooked, chopped corned beef. -- posted by swissms

Irish Macaroni and Cheese With Stout

I made this for St Patty's one year from a FoodNetwork recipe. Unfortunately my paper copy is missing and it's no longer on the FN site, but some kind soul saved it for the masses. I'm going to re-post it on Zaar so I never lose it again! This is a great Mac n Cheese for people who are done with the box or nasty ol' Velveeta. -- posted by CelticBrewer

Found on the internet and made today for superbowl. YUMMY! Had to switch up the cook time and some of the ingredients, but the end product was delicious! I switched out the cornstarch for cream of tartar because that is all I had in the house, and then I added maybe a 1/4 cup of flour to thicken it up a little more turning the sauce into a sauce and a glaze for the meatballs -- posted by fuzzypugs

Mint Cream Cheese Swirl Brownies

Mon, 02 Feb 2009 01:39:49 -0500

This is a variation of the One-Bowl Brownies recipe from the Baker's Unsweetened Chocolate package, which is my go-to brownie recipe, made better by the addition of melted mint chips. If you want to go really minty, you could add a little dash of peppermint extract to the mix, but I think it was pleasantly minty without it. -- posted by elastigirl

Scottish Cheddar Cheese and Spring Onion Tea-Time Scones

Sun, 08 Mar 2009 17:34:36 -0400

Another one of my Scottish grandmother's recipes! I have several cheese scone recipes posted on Zaar, but this one is one of my favourites. Spring onions are also called green onions or scallions. My mum still makes these regularly and serves them filled with cream cheese (Boursin is great!) and cooked ham, a tea-time scone sandwich! Try to use a mature Scottish cheddar - my favourite comes from the Isle of Mull, but any mature farmhouse cheddar cheese will work. Another idea is to make mini versions of these scones for delightful appetisers, spread them with a filling of your choice - very welcome with a chilled wine or sherry! -- posted by French Tart

A Pint of Prawns and Guinness Chaser - British Pub Grub!

Sun, 08 Mar 2009 17:37:21 -0400

Classic and traditional British Pub Grub! Cooked prawns (shrimps) served in a pint mug with a tangy garlic mayonnaise and a pint of Guinness of course - my idea of heaven! British pub grub is justly famous and this simple dish is also great when served at home. Serve these prawns for family gatherings, or St Patrick's Day, St George's Day, St David's Day, St Andrew's Day, Australia Day, football, superbowl, darts matches or ANY time you fancy simple, robust food with a pint of ale! I have suggested Guinness but you can serve these prawns with any real ale or your favourite brew. I have spiced the mayonnaise up a tad - if you are not a lover of spicy food, serve these prawns with classic mayonnaise. -- posted by French Tart

Mon, 16 Mar 2009 15:23:10 -0400

This is a delicious twist on the traditional Irish Soda Bread, that omits the "soda" entirely and substitutes sour cream for the traditional buttermilk. I think it makes the loaf more moist, sweet and delicious. It has become my favorite version. My husband got it from a colleague, whose great-grandmother (Mary Moriarty, born in Killarney, County Kerry, Ireland in 1902) handed it down to her. Bravo Mary Moriarty! -- posted by Maureen in MA

Perfect for St. Patrick's Day, and it feeds an army! This recipe is from America's Best Church Supper Recipes/Taste of Home from Helen Baines of Elkton, Maryland. She says they get moister if they are left in the refrigerator for a day or two before serving if you can leave them alone that long. They are very rich but delicious. I couldn't find mint chocolate chips so I used Andes Mints instead. I also found it needed a little more cooking time, but that may vary by altitude and your stove.

The Best Party Punch Ever!

Sun, 22 Mar 2009 10:12:51 -0400

This recipe will make enough green punch to fill an average size punch bowl. If you are entertaining a large number of people and feel that you need to make more, just multiply all of the ingredients, with the exception of the sherbet. Recently I made this punch for my nephew's first birthday party. To serve aprrox. 50 guests, I multiplied the recipe by 4. Results vary depending on the size of the cups. To change the color of the punch, substitute a different flavor of Kool-aid with a MATCHING color of sherbet. (The two colors must match, othewise, the punch will turn brown.) -- posted by BeanPole

Corned Beef Potato Rosti

Mon, 23 Mar 2009 15:21:56 -0400

A delicious way to serve leftover corned beef...good for any meal of the day! Found this recipe online at Chow.com posted by Amy Wisniewski. The ingredients are per the posted recipe, but I really just used what looked right to me; adjust based on how much you have! I used one small cooked potato and the rest was uncooked. Also added some leftover cabbage that was cooked with the corned beef. Also added some garlic powder, so add what you like... -- posted by StacyMD187373

Swiss Chard & Potato Soup

Sun, 29 Mar 2009 20:37:34 -0400

This soup comes from Lucy Waverman's St. Patrick's Day menu in the Globe and Mail (March 2009). Lucy Waverman notes "My grandmother used spinach to make this soup, but it tends not to have a strong enough taste for the potatoes; Swiss Chard matches much better." Cooking time includes puree time. It is also fine without the garnish. Serve with fresh buns or bread. -- posted by Janay

Chipotle Hummus (Spicy!)

Sun, 28 Jun 2009 13:24:24 -0400

Don't settle for store bought! This is super easy to make and oh so much better. Just that perfect amount of heat that makes you want to keep on eating it! (Or, if you prefer it less spicy, just use fewer chipotles). I like to serve this with pita wedges, crackers and baby carrots. It's always a hit at parties and tailgates, and makes a large amount so it's a perfect dish for sharing. Hope you enjoy it as much as we do! -- posted by Lori Ann D

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!

Scotch Eggs

Sun, 12 Jul 2009 10:01:54 -0400

A traditional pub treat that can be prepared ahead, scotch eggs are sausage-covered hard-cooked eggs which are dipped in bread crumbs and baked until golden and delicious served hot or cold. From an old newspaper clipping. -- posted by Molly53

Fish and Chips Bits

Sun, 12 Jul 2009 10:03:25 -0400

A traditional pub treat as an appetizer! Sprinkle with malt vinegar and salt for an authentic touch. When deep frying, the most important thing to monitor is the oil temperature. If you don't have a fryer with a thermostat, go to your local kitchen shop and purchase a good quality deep fry thermometer. From an old newspaper clipping. -- posted by Molly53
