I thought it would be fun to share some St. Patrick's Day Recipes, either Traditional, or just fun shamrock shaped food or green foods.:love:
I've been baking our corned beef, I put 2 corned beefs (so we have left overs) in the pan and sprinkle with that little seasoning packet. I pour a can of chicken broth in the pan and cover with foil and bake about 3 hours in a 325 degree oven. Let them rest on a cutting board covered with foil then slice thin. I also boil chopped cabbage with water, a spoon full of sugar and a pinch of salt and red pepper flakes. Cover and boil until tender. I serve boiled potatoes and gravy ------ I make enough gravy to cover the meat too if anyone likes to do that.
Is that really how you make a corned beef??? I've been wanting to buy one, but totally afraid of messing it up!!! My youngest's birthday is on St. Patty's day. I was thinking of making corned beef hash & eggs for her birthday. I usually buy premade corned beef...trying to decide if I'm brave enough to try..... I made hash with left over corned beef but the first day oh man you've got to just have a few slices! Oh and you need to spend a little extra and get the flat cut.....the point cut I think is tougher.
St. Patty's day is the anniversary of our first day. We usually go out to dinner but this year I will be at my mother's for a visit and he will be here. I make my cabbage the same way only I fry some bacon while the cabbage boils, then chop it up and put it in the cabbage pot drippings and all. I even take a cabbage leaf our and scrap the bacon pan with it to get all the bacon flavor into the cabbage. It is so good. I make all my greens like that. Did you know you can fry cabbage?? Fry some bacon (3 - 4 pieces per head of cabbage) remove it from the pan but leave the grease. Then cook the cabbage in the bacon grease and ad a little sugar. I can't say how long to cook it - you just gotta know when it's right. Then put the chopped bacon pieces back in and cook for anothe rminute or two. Yummy southern dish.
I'm planning on making Irish Stew and Irish Soda Bread. I have a gingerbread man cookie cutter, so I'm going to make green Leprechaun cookies. My youngest son said we should leave out some cookies for St. Patrick! How adorable!
well I do my cornbeef different instead of putting in oven I put my in slow cooker and let it go all day long. I love corn beef. I am Irish. Cabbage. I fry it in butter on the stove. Serve with red potatos and butter. love it..

(I have made this kind of bread with other recipes that are not this labor intensive and they were good too)
Yes Kris, I would too....... but truth be told I have 3 coppies of this little cookbook (one from last year, and one I bought this year because I don't know where the other one was, and the other day I got one from my secret sister....... so I just wanted to share some recipes):roll:
Oh Amy, that is fine, just that sometimes I have to laugh at cook books they ask for everything even the kitchen sink. I like to cook simple... always have.
Like Kris, I cook my corned beef all day in the crock pot or slow roaster. We aren't big on cabbage here, so I'll do one or two other veggies instead. We'll have red taters, and I'll probably make some Irish Soda Bread. I might make my Irish Cream pie again this year. That was a big hit last time.
I just entered 3 of my recipes in the monthly recipe contest for lets dish. (the heinz panel I am on) I did corned beef------ put that one on yesterday and its still the only one for corned beef, cabbage and lime pie (no bake kind with sweetened conndensed milk)
kraftfoods.com has an easy Irish Soda Bread that I have made a few times now without any problems and it is yummy!
We always do our cabbage like that, only without sugar. Sometimes we put a little chopped onion in with it. The only corned beef we get around here is in a can. We'll dump a couple of cans in with the almost-done cabbage, then have that with mashed potatoes and cornbread.
