Long, slow cooking tenderizes the brisket, which is the centerpiece of this hearty, one-dish meal. To round out your dinner, you could serve purchased shamrock-shaped cookies or shamrock-topped cupcakes and green tea or limeade.
Irish stew was traditionally a thick, filling dish made with ingredients that were both inexpensive and easily available. The stew almost always included lamb (or occasionally goat), potatoes and onions. You can make our version with either boneless lamb or boneless beef chuck roast.
Traditionally, Irish bakers made this classic, sweet quick bread in white or brown loaves -- and scored a cross into the top of each loaf to scare away the devil. Our recipe is for brown bread. Serve alongside a bowl of Luck Of the Irish Stew (previous slide), or purchased beef stew to save time.
Golden raisins give this bread a hint of sweetness that complements the meat and potato stew. We recommend baking the bread the day before you plan to serve it for better texture and slicing.
Simmer meat and potatoes in a flavorful broth for this traditional St. Patrick's Day dish. Spinach, carrots and onions add color plus an updated twist to the recipe.
Dried fruit, orange juice, molasses, and spices dress up corned beef with lively new flavor in this slow-cooker recipe.
Butternut squash, sweet potatoes, parsnip and celery highlight this traditional Irish stew.
Coat lamb shops with a mixture of olive oil and fresh mint leaves for an easy, elegant holiday dish. Serve with pureed peas for an extra dollop of green!

Another traditional Irish side dish is colcannon, a mixture of mashed potatoes and cooked cabbage, flavored with green onions and parsley.

These fruity green Shamrock Smoothies will bring out the Irish in you--no matter where your family tree originated. Blend frozen kiwifruit and banana, then add green grapes, yogurt, orange juice, honey and rum. If your St. Patty's Day calls for an even more vivid drink, add some green food coloring!
Cabbage has been a staple Irish flavor for years. This Savoy Cabbage Salad offers a fresh twist on this reliable side dish. We added the noodles uncooked. They soften some while chilling, but still add crunch.
This cheesy potato soup with its salty-smoky crumbled bacon would be a great centerpiece for a St. Patrick's Day dinner. Bacon used to be a more common cooking ingredient in Ireland than corned beef because it was more readily available. Serve this hearty soup with scones or Luck o' the Irish Whole-Wheat Bread.
These potato-based yeast rolls are perfect for St. Patrick's Day. For an elegant presentation, decorate each roll with a sage leaf: Lightly dip the top of each dough ball into flour or brush with egg white. Top each with a sage leaf, brush with egg white, and place on prepared baking sheets.
Our warmed red cabbage salad easily complements meat and chicken dishes. The dressing brings tang, and the baconlike pancetta offers addictive salty flavor.
We also love this Savoy Cabbage and Fennel Slaw. If you're in a hurry, use purchased coleslaw mix to shortcut slicing the savoy cabbage.
Combine chocolate, cream cheese, sour cream and Irish cream liqueur for this decadently rich cheesecake. If you prefer a milder liqueur flavor, use a little less Irish cream and add whipping cream or milk to make up the difference.
For an Irish cheesecake with coffee flavoring instead of chocolate, try Irish Coffee Cheesecake, a recipe from an Omaha bakery.
As warmly welcoming as the traditional Irish beverage, these brownies have a little whiskey in the batter and a little more in the glaze.
Celebrate the luck o' the Irish by serving these festive green cupcakes loaded with chocolate chips.
