An Irish inspired recipe round-up for any day of the year, including St. Patrick's day. From very traditional dishes to more creative approaches to Irish food.
Traditional Irish Recipes
Guinness Irish Stew
Tender lamb or beef and vegetables braised in roasty stout with a gamut of delicious flavors going on. Fit for St. Patrick himself.
Irish Champ
Original to Northern Ireland, these Irish mashed potatoes are famous for their creaminess and the fresh taste of green onions folded in. Usually served with a knob of butter. Very popular around Halloween. Recipe here.
Buttered Cabbage
Delicious Savoy cabbage flash braised in good Irish butter. Simple and with loads of flavor - a classic Irish side dish. Psst... this is how you would prepare cabbage to fold into mashed potatoes so you can make Colcannon. Recipe here.
Irish Whiskey Salmon
Baked salmon fillet glazed with authentic Irish whiskey caramel sauce and served with your choice of traditional Irish side(s) - leeks, peas, spinach, asparagus, cauliflower or artichokes. After all, it was St. Patrick who blessed salmon with its ability to jump high. Recipe here.

Festive in appearance, delectable in flavor. There is Irish whiskey in both the filling and the frosting of this beautiful cake roll. Shamrock sprinkles optional, but really, would you want to leave them out?
