Irish Stew
Irish stew is a simple dish that originated in the 19th century when famine was a real problem in Ireland. It was a staple meal that provided families with the nutrients they needed to survive.
Beef was available, but not affordable to many people, so they used lamb or mutton instead. Those who could afford it would also add neck bones or shanks for added flavor.
The meat is coated in flour before browning it to thicken the stew and provide flavor. Then the meat is seasoned with salt and pepper before being stewed in broth for hours.
This is a simple recipe that is easy to prepare for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion. It’s delicious and filling, making it a perfect food for your next party!
Irish Potatoes
If you’ve ever stepped foot in an Irish bar, chances are high that you’ll see someone preparing these tiny potatoes for the occasion. Known as Irish potatoes, this Philadelphia candy is made from a coconut cream center that’s rolled into bite-sized ovals and coated in cinnamon to resemble small potato bites.
They’re a no-cook, sweet treat that’s easy to make and a hit at all kinds of parties. And since they’re made with a mixture of coconut, sugar, and cream cheese, you can even make them with kids!
They’re similar to Almond Joy candy bars, but with a little extra creaminess and a strong cinnamon kick. You can get them at local bakeries and shops in and around the city or make your own with a few simple ingredients.
