With a little Irish luck and a wee bit of planning, you could dedicate your entire week of meals to the Emerald Isle. Making bread may not be on your to-do list normally, but this Irish Soda Bread is easier than whipping up a dozen muffins. Several dishes this week will benefit from it as well, including the Silky Mushroom Soup, the Corned Beef Sandwiches, the Sweet + Sour Grilled Cheese and a full-on Irish B&B style breakfast with Shamrock Butter, Scrambled Eggs and Baked Beans.
The Sweet & Sour Cabbage plays well in the vegetarian dinner that features Baked Beans and the classic Colcannon, aka Kale Mashed Potatoes. Extras of the mashers can become a topping for the Vegan Lentil Shepherd’s Pie the next day or Kale Potato Pancakes.
Of course the week would be incomplete without the classic Irish-American dish of Corned Beef + Cabbage. This recipe cooks it up in the crockpot for the day. Got leftovers? A breakfast of Corned Beef Hash or these Corned Beef Cabbage Rolls that are not officially included in the meal plan, but are a beautiful way to fancy up leftovers.
For another loverly dish, take sorrel, which is popping up recently as the soil warms up and has botanical similarities to the shamrock. Hence, I have taken some liberties to make it into a Shamrock Butter to dollop on Scrambled Eggs. Another use is as a silky sauce to pair with fish in the Salmon Sorrel.
May your troubles be less, your blessings be more, and nothing but happiness come through your door… especially this week!
Cook seasonally. Eat consciously. Live well,
