Luck O' The Irish - Recipes

Got any good Irish recipes? Here's one:

IRISH SODA BREAD WITH RAISINS

Nonstick vegetable oil spray
2 cups all purpose flour
5 tablespoons sugar, divided
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
3 tablespoons butter, chilled, cut into cubes
1 cup buttermilk
2/3 cup raisins (optional)

Preheat oven to 375°F. Spray 8-inch-diameter cake pan with nonstick spray. Whisk flour, 4 tablespoons sugar, baking powder, salt, and baking soda in large bowl to blend. Add butter. Using fingertips, rub in until coarse meal forms. Make well in center of flour mixture. Add buttermilk. Gradually stir dry ingredients into milk to blend. Mix in raisins.
Using floured hands, shape dough into ball. Transfer to prepared pan and flatten slightly (dough will not come to edges of pan). Sprinkle dough with remaining 1 tablespoon sugar.

Bake bread until brown and tester inserted into center comes out clean, about 40 minutes. Cool bread in pan 10 minutes. Transfer to rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Re: Luck O' The Irish - Recipes

I have found through the years that when I cook my corn beef at a much lower temp for a longer time ,it turns out 100% better.They always say about 50 minutes per pound....but I turn the heat low and cook for about 90 minutes per pound. Make it more juicy and flavorable.


We like Irish Coffee with our Paddy's Day meal also...

1/2 cup Irish whiskey
1/4 cup Irish Cream
4 cups fresh black coffee, hot
sugar
Whipped cream




Pour 2 tablespoons ( or to taste )of the whiskey into each of 4 large mugs. For a sweet and creamy coffee, add 1 tablespoon of Irish Cream to each mug. Fill the mugs with coffee. Season with sugar to taste and dollop with the whipped cream before serving.

Re: Luck O' The Irish - Recipes

You're write about the cornbeef...when I cook for St. Pat's day, it's an all day event because you have to cook the cornbeef very slow and I don't normally cook just a little. The Irish Coffee sounds good, I like the part of adding the whiskey to taste , sounds much better than 2 tablespoons.

This was one of my favorites as a child- still one today!

Old fashioned Irish beef stew-

Ingredients:
2 lbs. beef for stew
1 onion, finely chopped
2 stalks celery, finely chopped
1 bay leaf
2 lg. potatoes, peeled and chopped into chunks
3 lg. carrots, peeled and cut into thick slices
1 (approximately 16 oz.) bag frozen peas
2 cans beef broth
2 (8 oz.) cans tomato sauce
Flour in a plastic bag
2 tbsp. cooking oil
Salt and pepper to taste


Directions:
Cut beef into bite-size cubes. Add beef cubes to flour in bag and shake until cubes are coated with flour. Heat oil in large pot. Add celery, onion and bay leaf. Saute until onions and celery are translucent but not browned. Add the beef a little at a time to the pan and brown beef completely. Add beef broth and tomato sauce. If necessary, add enough water to cover beef. Bring to boil. Reduce heat to simmer. Cover pot and cook for 1 1/2 to 2 hours until beef is tender. Add carrots and potatoes. Cook 1/2 hour until vegetables are tender. Add frozen peas. Cook 5-10 minutes until peas are tender.

Sounds really good Jeffro, here's another:

BEEF AND GUINNESS PIE


2 lb boneless beef chuck, cut into 1-inch pieces
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 large onion, coarsely chopped
2 garlic cloves, chopped
3 tablespoons water
1 1/2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 cup beef broth
1 cup Guinness or other Irish stout
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
2 teaspoons drained brined green peppercorns, coarsely chopped
2 fresh thyme sprigs
Puff pastry dough
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1 tablespoon water
4 (14-oz) deep bowls or ramekins (4 to 5 inches wide) or similar-capacity ovenproof dishes

Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 350°F.
Pat beef dry. Stir together flour, salt, and pepper in a shallow dish. Add beef, turning to coat, then shake off excess and transfer to a plate. Heat oil in a wide 5- to 6-quart ovenproof heavy pot over moderately high heat until just smoking, then brown meat in 3 batches, turning occasionally, about 5 minutes per batch, transferring to a bowl.
Add onion, garlic, and water to pot and cook, scraping up any brown bits from bottom of pot and stirring frequently, until onion is softened, about 5 minutes. Add tomato paste and cook, stirring, 1 minute. Stir in beef with any juices accumulated in bowl, broth, beer, Worcestershire sauce, peppercorns, and thyme and bring to a simmer, then cover and transfer to oven. Braise until beef is very tender and sauce is thickened, about 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 hours. Discard thyme and cool stew completely, uncovered, about 30 minutes. (If stew is warm while assembling pies, it will melt uncooked pastry top.)
Put a shallow baking pan on middle rack of oven and increase oven temperature to 425°F.
Divide cooled stew among bowls (they won't be completely full). Roll out pastry dough on a lightly floured surface with a lightly floured rolling pin into a 13-inch square, about 1/8 inch thick. Trim edges and cut dough into quarters. Stir together egg and water and brush a 1-inch border of egg wash around each square. Invert 1 square over each bowl and drape, pressing sides lightly to help adhere. Brush pastry tops with some of remaining egg wash and freeze 15 minutes to thoroughly chill dough.
Bake pies in preheated shallow baking pan until pastry is puffed and golden brown, about 20 minutes.
Reduce oven temperature to 400°F and bake 5 minutes more to fully cook dough.
Cooks' note: Stew (without pastry) can be made 2 days ahead, cooled completely, and chilled, covered. Bring to room temperature before using.
