Irish Corn Recipe

Irish Corn Recipe

brimming with the just-picked flavor that tells you it’s Bird’s Eye Corn.

1 box Bird’s Eye Golden Sweet Corn, partially thawed
3 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon chopped onion
2 teaspoons flour
2/3 cup light cream or rich milk
1 tablespoon chopped pimento
1 tablespoon chopped parsley
1/4 teaspoon salt
Dash of pepper

Place the Bird’s Eye Corn in saucepan (note how perfect each tender kernel is); add butter and onion. Cover and heat until corn is completely thawed. Remove cover and saute about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Sprinkle flour over corn and blend quickly. Add cream or milk gradually, stirring constantly. Continue cooking over low heat until sauce is thickened-about 5 minutes. Add pimento, parsley, and seasonings. Makes 3 or 4 servings.

1 can of beer, optional

5 carrots, peeled and chopped
4 cloves garlic
1 medium head cabbage, cut into small wedges
1 medium onion, chopped

Place corned beef in large pot, and cover with water and one can of beer. Add the spice packet. Cover pot, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat. Add brown sugar, onion and bay leaves. Simmer 3-1/2 hours.

Colcannon

8 slices bacon
1/2 small head cabbage, chopped, or 16-ounce bag of coleslaw mix
1 large onion, chopped
6 potatoes, boiled
1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup butter
salt and pepper, to taste
In a skillet, fry bacon. Drain, reserving drippings, crumble and set aside. In the reserved drippings, saute the cabbage and onion until soft. Mash potatoes with milk and butter, and season with salt and pepper. Fold in the bacon, cabbage and onions, and transfer the mixture to a large serving bowl. Optional: Brown under broiler.

Irish Soda Bread

3/4 cup raisins
3-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
1 pint sour cream
1 tablespoon caraway seeds

Preheat oven to 350 F. Soak raisins in warm water for 20 minutes to plump them. In a large bowl, combine dry ingredients. In a small bowl, beat eggs and stir in sour cream. Add the egg mixture to the dry ingredients, and stir with a wooden spoon or use hands. Stir in the raisins and caraway seeds. Place dough in a greased 9-inch springform pan. Dust the top with flour to prevent hands from sticking, and pat the dough evenly in the pan. With a knife, make a shallow crisscross slash on the top. Bake for 50 minutes.
