Recipe: 1 - Beef Pot Roast Recipe »
It's almost time to celebrate St Patrick's Day and here's a delicious menu of Irish food to make for it. Start with traditional Irish Wheaten Bread and a classic Beef Pot Roast served with a Potato Platter. Then try some fun Irish Potato Candy or Date and Ginger scones!
This beef pot roast is a classic and it turns out the most flavoursome, tender beef and I'll give you tips on the best cut to achieve this along with directions for the stovetop, oven, slow cooker or pressure cooker!
Why have one type of potato when you can have a whole platter of them? This potato platter is an ode to the glorious potato with crinkle cut and straight potato fries, waffle fries, potato latkes, baked potato skins and sweet potato fries with a range of sauces. People will love you when you bring this beauty out!
One of my favourite things that I ate in Northern Ireland was this wheaten bread made with treacle. I loved it so much that I had to recreate it and even served it at Christmas dinner. It goes so well with soups and stews and is a non-yeasted, similar to soda bread.
This Irish potato candy is so cute and quirky and made with a base of pecans and cream cheese. The recipe is originally from Martha Stewart and I love how much they look like potatoes!
If you're looking for something easy as an afternoon tea on St Patricks day then give these date and ginger scones a try! They need just 10 minutes prep and use crystallised stem ginger and dates. They're one of my favourite ever scones!
So tell me Dear Reader, do you celebrate St Patrick's Day?
