10 Irish-Inspired Recipes To Celebrate St. Patrick's Day

Stout-Braised Beef Stew, Oat Risotto And Emerald Isle Greens

Guinness or Murphy’s adds depth and a subtle, delicious bitterness to this stout-braised beef stew recipe. In the spirit of innovation, we turned classic Irish oats into steel-cut oat risotto that’s the perfect partner for this stew’s gravy. And for crunch and colour, we’ve added some stunning winter greens. Get this Emerald Island greens recipe.

Irish Brown Bread And Cultured Butter

Ireland is already famous for its soda bread, but this Irish brown bread recipe makes us swoon. Dense and nutty, it’s sliced thinly and served with breakfast, lunch and dinner.

On a traditional dairy farm, cream is collected daily and kept until there is enough to churn butter. The natural ripening of the cream over several days produces butter with a rich tang. It’s easy to replicate at home, and nothing goes better with homemade brown bread. Get this cultured butter recipe.

Guinness Cocktail And Mini Gourmet Potato Skins

Serve mini gourmet potato skins with a warm cheese and prosciutto filling, topped with sour cream and chives get paired with a tall glass of stout with a slight twist (just add ribena).

Herbed Cheddar Soda Bread Recipe

Ward off the chill with a steaming bowl of soup and fresh-from-the-oven bread. This tempting, hearty Irish-inspired loaf is surprisingly easy to make—and totally satisfying. Get this herbed cheddar soda bread recipe.

Saucy Shepherd’s Pie

This hearty comfort food classic gets a plant-based boost from a cauliflower mash topping—it’s equal parts crispy and fluffy. Get this saucy shiraz shepherd’s pie recipe.

Guinness Chocolate Layer Cake

Believe it or not, beer does amazing things for cake. Our St. Patrick's Day special is dense and rich, with the slightest undertone of stout. Get our Guinness Chocolate Layer Cake recipe.

Frosting tip: Use a stand mixer to get the fluffiest icing. Clean mixer bowl and whisk thoroughly before using—any trace of grease will prevent meringue from whipping properly.

Ballymaloe Almond Tarts

From Ballymaloe Cookery School (a short drive from Cork, Ireland) comes this signature sweet: a flaky, buttery tartlet dotted with cream and berries foraged from the local hedges. Heaven. Get this Ballymaloe almond tart recipe.

Bacon Colcannon With Apple Salad

This Irish dish is traditionally made with mashed potatoes and cabbage, but we’ve changed it up a bit, substituting celery root and crispy bacon into our mashed potatoes, and adding a side salad to finish this cozy plate. Get this bacon colcannon with apple salad recipe.

Homemade Baileys Irish Cream Liqueur

After-dinner coffees are always better with a little splash of Irish cream. Get this homemade whisky cream liqueur recipe.
