Allrecipes' editorial guidelines Published on January 31, 2024 Close It's a shame there aren't more reasons to eat Irish food. While no one needs a reason, it helps to have one. And as great as St. Patrick's day often is, I wish there were three or four more sprinkled throughout the year. Nonetheless, here are 16 recipes found in Irish pubs that will make your St. Patrick's day a traditional holiday. You'll find only the classics: Dublin Coddle and shepherd's pie, Irish champ and colcannon, recipes with Guinness and much more. The only thing you need to make these recipes, besides the ingredients, is a pinch of luck. 01 of 17 Irish Stew View Recipe Allrecipes/Ana Cadena "Followed the recipe to a T—turned out great, I didn't think it would be spiced enough, but the rosemary really helps. Paired this with the Irish Brown Soda Bread...for an Irish dinner." —MEGLANGFORD 02 of 17 Beef and Guinness Stew View Recipe Beef and Guinness Stew. Allrecipes "This Guinness beef stew is a very simple dish, but at the same time, it has a deep, complex, rich flavor. The maltiness of dark beer really does amazing things for the gravy." —John Mitzewich 03 of 17 Beef, Mushroom, and Guinness Pie View Recipe "I made this for St. Patty's Day. My husband and I thought it was excellent. It certainly takes awhile to cook, but the filling is delicious. I used Guinness Extra Stout and was afraid it might make it a bit bitter, but the result was fantastic. Extras are already packed up for lunch tomorrow!" —bellarosa 04 of 17 Steak and Irish Stout Pie View Recipe "This delicious Irish steak and stout pie is a meal that may provoke your guests into licking the pie dish clean." —Michael St Laurent 05 of 17 Stout-Braised Lamb Shanks View Recipe "I made this for my mother-in-law this past weekend, because she loves lamb shanks...and Guiness. It was a tremendous hit! I served it with cheesy polenta, also from this site, and it was definitely an excellent combination." —reddelicious 06 of 17 Dublin Coddle (Irish Sausage and Potato Stew) View Recipe Chef John "My family LOVED this stew! I did add carrots because we all love them. I served it with fresh pumpernickel and Irish soda bread slathered in butter. This stew is definitely going into the regular dinner rotation!" —Allrecipes Member 07 of 17 Irish Shepherd's Pie View Recipe "This Irish shepherd's pie is a lovely alternative to the much more common corned beef and cabbage you may have been planning for St. Patrick's Day dinner." —John Mitzewich 08 of 17 Potato and Leek Soup View Recipe Dotdash Meredith Food Studios "It's bonfire night here in England (Guy Falkes night) and there was a firework display in the park next to my house. So I made this up with my hubby's home grown veggies to eat outside whilst we watched the fireworks. Wow! It was absolutely fabulous...It went really well with my freshly baked crusty bread. This is a definite keeper." —Poldweia 09 of 17 Irish Bacon and Cabbage Soup View Recipe Dotdash Meredith Food Studios "This Irish soup with bacon, potatoes, tomatoes, and cabbage is a wonderfully simple chunky soup. I use good quality Irish back bacon but if you can't get this, it tastes equally good made with pancetta. The dark green color of the cabbage alongside the tomatoes gives the soup a beautiful color." —Ita 10 of 17 Colcannon View Recipe "I was a bit scared of this, because although I had heard it was great and was very curious, it just seemed odd. Slimy cabbage mucking up mashed potatoes? However, I had nothing to fear, it was delicious." —PAGANANGEL 11 of 17 Irish Champ View Recipe "Irish champ is similar to colcannon but is made by blending green onions or scallions with creamy mashed potatoes. It's great on its own, served steaming hot with extra butter on top, but it's also a perfect side dish for good quality sausages." —Ita 12 of 17 Irish Boxty View Recipe Nola LeNoir "My dad made these every Sunday morning to take to the Irish American club in Cleveland, Ohio. He would make them using 10 lbs of potatoes! The club members would always look forward to Bernie Curley's Sunday morning Boxty!" —Michelle Hencye 13 of 17 Guinness Bread View Recipe Kim "This bread is AMAZING. A little sweeter than you may expect, almost cake-like, but really good, and I love that it uses wheat flour and oats. I took it to our a St. Paddy's potluck and it vanished." —Dawn Beasley Macke 14 of 17 Classic Fish and Chips View Recipe "I love this! My husband loves it. Easy-to-follow directions. Have been looking for a good-tasting Fish & Chips recipe. Now I can stop. Will absolutely be making this again." —TSaen 15 of 17 Seafood Pot Pie View Recipe "This pot pie is loaded with tons of beautiful seafood perfect for special occasions for people you love. You can adjust the type and quantity of the seafood in this to suit your tastes, and preferences." —Karen Rankin 16 of 17 True Bangers and Mash with Onion Gravy View Recipe "Amazingly delicious! My family raved about this meal that is full of flavor from every angle. I used Johnsonville Brats and 3 lbs red potatoes unpeeled. Although the gravy is thin it is very rich and soaks into the potatoes in a delightful way!" —Savory Susan 17 of 17 More Inspiration bd.weld 12 St. Patrick's Day Breakfast and Brunch Ideas St. Patrick's Day Cookies That Rule the Hooley Chef John's 14 Best St. Patrick's Day Recipes Was this page helpful?
