What’s Cooking for St. Patrick’s Day
Next Saturday is St. Partick’s and the wearing of the green. The first harbinger of Spring. At last the long cold winter is coming to an end. Whether you’re Irish or not, here are a couple of recipes to help celebrate.
The tradition on the day is corned beef and cabbage with potatoes, so what to eat on parade day. The easy answer is go traditional with a stew. This beef stew made with Guiness Stout and topped with a Stilton laced pastry crust takes a little work but it is well worth it.
For those who are still fasting for lent or would prefer something lighter, here is a lovely braiseed salmon on a bed of Spring vegetable – asparagus, peas and leeks. Serve with steamed red potatoes or creamy mashed potatoes.
What would a St. Patrick’s celebration be without Irish Soda Bread. Here is a simple recipe from an old French chef, Jacques Pépin.
There are cheesecakes for all occasions, including St. Patrick’s Day laced with Baily’s Irish Cream. It has become a tradition in my house since 1991 when I found the recipe in a 1991 Bon Appétit magazine. It’s best made a day before serving with steaming mugs of hot Irish coffee.
