Some Irish Recipes

Recipe: Soda Bread

Recipe: Boxty (Potato Griddle Cakes) Recipe

Recipe: Colcannon

A mashed potato side dish, Colcannon was traditionally served, with coins hidden inside, at Halloween. Ours has cream, instead.

Recipe: Barmbrack

An authentic recipe for the classic Irish fruit bread.

Recipe: Drisheen

2 pt Milk
1 pt Water
2 pt Sheep's blood
1/4 lb Breadcrumbs
1 lb Mutton suet
2 ts Salt

Recipe: Dublin Coddle

It consists of layers of roughly sliced pork sausages and rashers (thinly sliced, somewhat fatty back bacon) with sliced potatoes, and onions. Traditionally, it can also include optional barley.

Recipe: Champ

Colcannon is made in much the same way as champ, but with the addition of cabbage. In parts of the country white cabbage is always used. In any case, shred and chop a small cabbage (discard the stump) and cook until tender. Beat into the potato mixture and serve as above.
