How to Cook dishes from Ireland
Ireland
is known for its lush green lands, which are of course
excellent for the growing of crops and the grazing of livestock.
Traditional Irish food is hearty, wholesome, fare made from
local produce - recipes may be simple but they are both tasty and satisfying!
Potatoes are also a prominent feature of Irish cooking. They were introduced
in the late 17th century, and have become the staple crop of Ireland.
Oats and barley are also grown, and have been for many centuries.
Popular meats include lamb and pork.
Of course, with the island of Ireland
being surrounded by sea, fish and seafood is also popular.
Ireland is
particularly known for its langoustines (known as "Dublin Bay prawns")
and oysters, the latter often eaten with Guinness at the many
oyster festivals around the country each year. Popular types of fish
include
salmon and
cod.
Some popular traditional Irish recipes and dishes include:
- Bacon and cabbage - Irish Americans often make a similar dish from corned
beef and cabbage.
- Champ - Mashed potatoes with chopped spring onions, butter and milk.
- Coddle - Boiled pork sausages with
bacon, potatoes, onions and optionally barley.
The ingredients are cooked in the stock that comes from the sausages
and bacon. Salt, pepper, and parsley are added for flavor.
- Colcannon - Mashed potatoes with garlic, cabbage or kale (a type of cabbage closer to the plant's wild origins).
- Irish stew (Irish Gaelic: Stobhach Gaelach) -
A stew made from lamb or mutton, with potatoes, onions and parsley.
Barley, carrots, parsnips or turnips may also be added in some variants of
the recipes.
Irish communities in other countries (such as the
United States),
have adapted to use locally available meats (for example, substituting beef for lamb),
or by adding extra ingredients (such as Guinness or paprika) to create
new flavors.
Ireland
is also home to its own unique types of bread. These include:
- Blaa - A very soft white bread roll, covered in layers
of flour, that is unique to Waterford City.
- Barmbrack (Irish: Báirnín Breac) -
This is an Irish sweet bread made with sultanas and raisins embedded in it, and often
eaten toasted with butter. On
Halloween,
it traditionally contains various items
baked in the bread, which are used for a
fortune-telling game (what you get in your slice, tells your fortune).
- Irish potato bread (also known as "fadge", "potato cake", "potato farls", "slims" or "tatie bread") - Unleavened bread made from a combination of potatoes and wheat flour.
- Soda bread - A bread made using baking soda instead of yeast. Whole wheat
soda bread is known as "wheaten".
