13 Irish Recipes you need for a cracking St Patrick’s Day celebration!
Whether you are lucky enough to live in Ireland, are a repeat visitor (like me!), or dream of one day visiting this magical emerald isle, here are 13 St Patrick’s Day recipes you need for a cracking celebration.
From bangers and mash with colcannon mash to traditional Brown Bread and Bailey’s chocolate truffles, these are the Irish dishes that I go back to time and time again when an Irish feast is called for – which in our house, is quite often!
It will be a quiet one for us this year. We’ll be sitting down to a pot of my Irish Stew, a loaf of soda bread, and a pint of Bulmers Irish cider for an easy supper, and maybe finishing the day with a sneaky Jameson or two?!
I hope you love them as much as we do! Here we go…
Irish Bangers and Mash (Sausages, Onion Gravy & Colcannon)
Who’s up for a skillet of juicy, Irish pork sausages, smothered in a rich homemade onion gravy and served with lashings of mashed potatoes and marrowfat peas? Yep, this Irish bangers and mash recipe is one you’ll want to make again and again!
Slow Cooked Beef and Guinness Stew (Dutch Oven)
A slow braised stew simmering away in the oven on a Sunday afternoon sets me up for dinner the next day, and if we’re lucky, the day after too. Serve up this slow-cooked beef and Guinness stew recipe alongside a bowl of creamy mash or pop a puff pastry lid on top and turn it into the ultimate Winter pie.
Irish Brown Bread
This Irish Brown bread recipe has me thinking about blistery coastal days perched by a fire, a pot of seafood chowder, & brown bread smothered with butter.
Easy Irish Buttermilk Scones
So what makes a good Irish scone? Soft and fluffy on the inside, a good crust on the outside, and just a little sweetness. Not a lot, but just enough. We’re not baking bread after all!
Dutch Oven Corned Beef (Easy Silverside Recipe)
Corned Beef Silverside is serious comfort food on a cold winter’s day – or to be honest every day of the year. It’s a super classic recipe full of simple ingredients. And I just love it.
Traditional Full Irish Breakfast
The breakfast of champions. A plate of ALL the cooked breakfast bits… The full, traditional Irish breakfast or a “fry up” as it’s more commonly known.
Traditional Irish Soda Bread
This traditional Irish soda bread recipe is an easy, rustic loaf of bread that you can prep and bake in under an hour. Winner!
Boozy Baileys Chocolate Truffles
Decadent dark chocolate and hazelnut truffles with a good hit of Bailey’s… one for the adults!
Irish Bacon and Cheddar Soda Bread
Soda Bread… The ultimate quick bread. A time-poor mum’s Sunday morning savior when she hasn’t got a loaf of sourdough on the go. In under an hour, this savory soda bread will save your bacon (pardon the pun!) and give you a delicious, yet totally easy-to-bake, loaf of bread for the Sunday table.
Apple and Blackberry Crumble
As dessert recipes go, a good berry and apple crumble is about as comforting as it gets. This apple and blackberry crumble recipe is super easy to make and reminds me of those wild Irish berry hedgerows. Serve it with a good dollop of cream, custard, or vanilla ice cream.
Big Batch: An Irishman’s Wife’s Slow-Cooked Irish Stew
Because what’s the good on an Irishman’s wife if she doesn’t have a good Irish Stew recipe up her sleeve?
Colcannon Mash – Irish Mashed Potatoes
Is there anything more comforting than mashed potato? Especially creamy mash with other bits in it? For me, Colcannon is king when it comes to Irish potato dishes.
Traditional Irish Soda Farls
Soda Farls are FIVE simple ingredients. And they are all pantry staples Winner! Can you say BEST BREAKFAST EVER?
Well, that rounds up all my go-to recipes to cook for St Patrick’s Day, or better yet any other day of the year you have a craving for some Irish fare!
