To begin with, we must remind you that St. Patrick's Day is a religious feast in Ireland, and not a drinking holiday. However, Americans could do worse than celebrating the culture of Ireland on Friday by pulling out some traditional Irish recipes and adding flavor with Guinness. Guinness is a complex beer that provides rich tasty notes to any savory dish.
You might want to incorporate Guinness into Shepherd's Pie with a recipe that's almost like Mississippi pot roast. Or maybe some satisfying Irish Beef Stew. How about a dinner of Welsh rarebit, which is not Welsh at all, but can be Irish with a bit of Guinness? For a side dish, you might prepare Mashed Parsnips with Guinness Gravy. And for dessert, yes, you can enhance chocolate with Guinness stout. Try the recipe for Guinness Chocolate brownies. All these recipes are available at Inside Hook. Have a delicious St. Patrick's Day! -via Digg
