St. Patrick’s Day is next week, and already I am planning my annual dinner. Usually I just go with Corned Beef and Cabbage in the crock pot, but since I have a jump on planning, I was thinking I could be a little more creative and come up with a menu that was even more traditional. Did you know that? Corned Beef and Cabbage is not a traditional dinner in Ireland. Only in Irish-American celebrations of St. Patrick’s Day is Corned Beef and Cabbage featured. So, if I was going to celebrate the holiday with a traditional, Irish-Irish dinner, what would that look like?
Irish Stew Dinner with Soda Bread
Irish Lamb Shanks Dinner with Glazed Root Vegetables
Irish Lamb Chop Dinner with Colcannon
Much of my menu plan next week will depend on what is in the freezer. We have just a little lamb left from our purchase last August, might be time to place another order. I know I have two packages of Denver ribs (breast ribs) and a single package of 4 ribs. Might have to place my order quick; we also need lamb for Easter!
What are you going to make for St. Patrick’s Day?
