From Festive to Traditional
If you’re a fan of hearty fare like potatoes and stew then you probably look forward to March 17th as much as we do. Sure, it's fun to participate in the American version of the holiday by starting your meal with green appetizers or treating yourself to a festive St. Patrick’s Day dessert, but the best part of this day is digging into a plate piled high with dishes that celebrate Irish cuisine. For some of us, that means cooking up inspired classics like corned beef and cabbage or shepherd’s pie. For others, it’s all about sticking to tradition and making colcannon or boxty. However you choose to pay tribute to the food and cooking of the Emerald Isle, we’re sure these recipes will come in handy. We’ve rounded up everything from cute, shamrock-shaped scones to Irish coddle — and we’re sure you’re going to love each and every recipe. A must-make no matter how you celebrate? This flavor-packed, slow-cooked brisket. It’s unbelievably tender and delicious. Hearty root vegetables, cabbage and herb butter fill up the rest of the plate, for a mouthwatering take on St. Patrick’s Day corned beef and cabbage.
