Irish Recipes for an Unforgettable Saint Patrick’s Day
By Dr. Robb | February 11, 2007
If you 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.
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!
