Irish Recipes For An Unforgettable Saint Patrick's Day
By Patrick D Kelly
Irish recipes are popular around the world and are enjoyed by
more people on St Patrick's Day, celebrating the patron saint
of Ireland. You are welcome to visit the Irish pubs in your city
on St Patrick's day(17th March) and drink green beer, or better
still, escape to Ireland, and enjoy the Irish hospitality.
If you review your options and decide to visit Ireland on 17th
March, you will be greeted by a festive mood, for on this day
the Irish celebrate the feast of Saint Patrick, the patron saint
of the country. It is a national holiday in the Republic of Ireland
and in other parts of the world.
Green Symbolizes Spring
One of the noticeable traditions during the feast day is all
the Irish are wearing green, which symbolizes spring and prospering
of the crops. Aside from the green wear, there is a thanksgiving
party that is conducted to celebrate this holiday. And one of
the highlights in the festivity is the vast array of foods spread
out across the dining table.
Here are some Irish recipes you can enjoy cooking as well as
eating together with your loved ones and friends.
Authentic Corned Beef And Cabbage
This recipe is one of the most popularly done during the feast
day. It is partly because it includes cabbage (matching the green
color theme of the holiday). But also, the end-product will surely
delight the taste-buds of even foreigners.
The main ingredients are the following:
• Corned beef brisket (weighing at least four pounds);
• One glass of orange juice;
• 18 to 20 cloves of garlic;
• One teaspoon of yellow mustard seeds;
• One-half teaspoon of caraway seeds;
• One-half teaspoon of black peppercorns; and
• One-half teaspoon of whole coriander.
Place the raw corned beef brisket into a large pot and insert
the garlic cloves into it. Spread the remaining spices and put
water into it. Let it boil and simmer for three hours or until
the beef is tender.
For the dressing, you will need small potatoes, peeled carrots,
and one medium head cabbage which is peeled and then cut into
larger pieces.
Forty minutes before the beef becomes tender, fill a large pot
with boiling water and cook the potatoes and carrots. After ten
minutes, add the cabbage before serving it on the table. Remember
that cabbage doesn't need to be cooked for long. After cooking
the vegetables, drain it and arrange it together with the beef.
Easy Hot Whiskey Punch
Invigorate your body during the feast day with this refreshing
Irish punch. Here are the main ingredients:
• One serving of whiskey (average of one regular drinking
glass);
• Two teaspoons of white sugar;
• Two slices of fresh lemons; and
• Seven ounce of boiling water.
You combine the whiskey with the sugar and lemon slices into a
strong glass. After combining the ingredients, pour on the boiling
water and stir it until the sugar is dissolved.
Irish Scones
This is another of the great delicious Irish Recipes
This is the tasty Irish cookie that will surely make you crave
more. The ingredients are:
• One-half cup of butter;
• Four cups of flour;
• Two teaspoons of baking powder;
• One-half teaspoon of salt;
• One-fourth cup of sugar;
• One egg;
• One cup of milk; and
• Raisins or other dried fruits as add-ons.
First, preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Get a large
bowl, and combine the flour and butter until the mixture is crumbly.
Add the baking powder, sugar, and salt. Mix the beaten egg and
milk in a separate bowl and combine it with the previous mixture
in order to make dough. Turn into the floured surface and roll
it to one-inch thickness.
With a cookie cutter or even the bottom of a drinking glass,
cut the dough into two-inch rounds and placed it into the greased
cookie sheet, about an inch apart and bake it in the oven for
fifteen minutes. These are some of the popular Irish recipes you
can use to serve at your table - maybe during Saint Patrick's
Day. And do not forget an Irish toast to bless the meal!
