With St Paddy’s Day just around the corner, some of you may be wondering how to best celebrate without getting too sozzled if you’ve got work the next day. One of those ways is food, obviously. Because as we know, no event is ever properly complete without it. Here is a list of some traditional Irish recipes to help get you in the festive mood and you can use to line your stomachs (whether you and your pals need it or not).
Soda bread is about as staple as it gets when it comes to traditional Irish recipes and you’ll never find an Irish household without a loaf or two. This recipe has many variations, but sometimes nothing beats a homely classic. Check out the amazing Donal Skehan’s simple recipe below.
Chocolate Guinness cake is just a classic. It has a beautiful, deep and rich flavour that even people who don’t like Guinness go crazy for. Everybody’s mum makes this intense dessert a little differently but here is one we think you may like in particular. Spice it up yourself though in the spirit of St Paddy’s Day by putting some green food colouring in the frosting!
3. Beer Cheese
This creamy traditional Irish recipe has long been lauded for being ultimate traditional comfort food. There are many variations when it comes to this dish but one thing remains constant: this creamy potato dish should never be crumbly.
It doesn’t get more Irish than a good stew and even more so with this beery distinguished twist. Here’s another warm, comforting and inventive Skehan recipe to warm you up on any winter’s day and wow at any dinner table.
This flavourful dish is the perfect combination of festive and classic. Note the green veg and garnish? This hearty show stopper from Skehan (no, you do not detect a note of favouritism!) is the perfect addition to your battery of traditional Irish recipes for any occasion!
Boxty is basically a potato pancake that is super easy to make and in vast quantities. This dish is incredibly delicious and is the perfect base for your favourite dips and garnishes.
A coddle is one of those tradition Irish recipes that can basically be anything. Made up of an amalgamation leftovers from the week, the coddle is left to simmer on the hob for a few hours and always proves a hearty feast. Check out this person’s interpretation in the link below!
No, this is not a cop out. This is a legitimate, if not the most legitimate, of all traditional Irish recipes. Get inspired by this recipe below!
