Reuben Boxty (Irish Potato Pancakes)

Reuben Boxty (Irish Potato Pancakes)
Got leftover corned beef from St Patrick's Day? How about some reuben boxty? Boxty are Irish style potato pancakes that are great when you top them with or fold them over something, in this case all of the flavours of a reuben sandwich including corned beef, sauerkraut, swiss cheese and either russian or thousand island dressing. These reuben boxty are super quick and easy to make and I like to take the extra few minutes that it takes to throw them under the broiler, just before adding the dressing, to melt the cheese! What a great way to enjoy some corned beef!

Bacon and Cheese Corned Beef Burgers with Guinness Caramelized Onions and a Fried Egg

Bacon and Cheese Corned Beef Burger with Guinness Caramelized Onions and a Fried Egg
Looking for one last recipe idea for St Patrick's Day? I've got a great one for you! Bacon and cheese corned beef burgers with guinness caramelized onions and a fried egg! Instead of throwing all of your corned beef into the pot or slow cooker today, set some of it aside to grind up in your food processor and use it to make some really tasty burgers! Now you could easily go with the standard reuben sandwich flavours for corned beef burgers but this is my favourite way to dress them up, with bacon, cheese and Guinness caramelized onions along with a fried egg; because everything is better with a runny egg yolk! These bacon and cheese corned beef burgers with guinness caramelized onions and a fried eggs are now my new number one burger! Yum!

Boxty (Irish Potato Pancakes) with Bangers in a Guinness Mushroom and Onion Gravy

Boxty (Irish Potato Pancakes) with Bangers in a Guinness Mushroom and Onion Gravy
While planning your St Patrick's Day menu don't forget about breakfast! Start St Patrick's Day off right with some boxty, an Irish style potato pancakes! Boxty is great all by itself, I mean what's not to love about potato pancakes that are fried until golden brown and crispy on the outside and soft and warm on the inside, but why not suff them full of some thing tasty like sausage and a guinness mushroom and onion gravy? The pancakes themselves are super easy to make, consisting of shredded potato, mashed potatoes, flour and milk (I like to add cheese!) that is mixed and then cooked just like any other pancake! The gravy is also pretty easy to make where you simply saute some onions and mushrooms, add Guinness, dijon mustard and Worcestershire sauce to make the gravy and you're good to go! This would be a great dinner or breakfast and since I'm thinking breakfast I would be remiss if I did not top it with a fried egg with a runny yolk! I don't know about you but I can't think of a better way to start St Patrick's Day than with these boxty stuffed with bangers in a guinness mushroom and onion gravy!

Steak and Guinness Stew with Irish White Cheddar Cauliflower Mash

Steak and Guinness Stew with Irish White Cheddar Cauliflower Mash
With St Patrick's Day coming up I have been thinking about recipes and of course recipes with an Irish beer like Guinness come to mind and it's the perfect base for a beef stew! This steak stew is a pretty basic beef stew with some of the beef broth replaced with Guinness for extra flavour! I also like to season the stew with thyme, Worcestershire sauce, tomato paste and a hit of fish sauce for that extra depth of flavour! This steak and guinness stew is amazing all by itself but I often like to top it with cheese, Irish white cheddar cheese of course, and alternatively mashed potatoes, almost like a shepherds pie! This time I was thinking why not combine the two for a steak and Guinness stew topped with irish white cheddar mash and instead of using potatoes I used cauliflower to keep things light! Whether you serve this steak and Guinness stew by itself or topped with the Irish white cheddar cauliflower mash, it's a great choice for your St Patrick's Day menu!

St Patrick's Day Recipes

St Patrick's Day Recipes


St Patrick's Day is this week and that means that it is time to start planning your menu! Corned beef is a classic recipe for St Patrick's Day, one of my favourites, and it is so easy to make! You simply throw it in the slow cooker in the morning and then optionally glaze it and toss it in the oven for a few minutes at night and you are in corned beef heaven! I always plan to make plenty of extra corned beef because there are just so many tasty recipes to use the leftovers in! Some great sides for your corned beef are colcannon, sauteed cabbage and soda bread. Of course corned beef is not your only option, lets not forget the tasty Irish stews, pies, fish n chips and dishes made with Irish stouts like Guinness. Of course no St Patrick's Day meal is complete without dessert and Guinness just happens to work fabulously well with chocolate so you have plenty of options! With these St Patrick's Day recipes your St Patrick's Day meal is sure to be one to remember!

Reuben Cauliflower Corned Beef Hash

Reuben Cauliflower Corned Beef Hash
If you are lucky enough to still have any leftover corned beef, I have one more tasty way for you to enjoy it; in a reuben style corned beef and cauliflower hash. This hash has all of the flavours of a reuben sandwich including the corned beef, sauerkraut, melted swiss cheese, russian dressing and caraway seeds for the dark rye bread flavour. This dish could of course be done with the more common potatoes but I wanted to lighten it up a bit and went with cauliflower this time as it does amazingly well in hash! This might just be one of the easiest and tastiest ways to enjoy some leftover corned beef for breakfast!

Reuben Quiche

Reuben Quiche
With a bit of luck, or planning, after your St Patrick's Day dinner you will have some leftover corned beef to use in a new dish or two and this reuben quiche is definitely a tasty place to start. For this quiche I wanted to include all of the flavours of a reuben sandwich in quiche form for breakfast. The quiche itself is rather easy coming together with the standard eggs and cream along with some swiss cheese and it is filled it out with the leftover corned beef, some sauerkraut and a touch of russian or thousand island dressing. The only thing that is missing was the rye bread that a reuben sandwich is normally made with and I include it by making the quiches crust out of rye breadcrumbs held together with a touch of butter and some more swiss cheese that I pre-bake to ensure that it is nice and crisp. I have to say that this is one truly amazing way to do breakfast the day after St Patrick's Day!
