VEGETABLES Cabbage with Bacon While corned beef and cabbage is associated with Ireland, it actually is more of a Northern American invention, especially as fare on St. Patricks Day. There are many ways to serve cabbage, and every family has their own unique recipe. Most often it is served with ham or bacon as flavoring. Ingredients 1/2 pound bacon 1/2 cup water 1 head of cabbage, chopped Apple cider vinegar to taste Directions Add bacon to frying pan over medium heat and cook until browned.

Drain grease with paper towels, leaving some behind. Increase to medium high heat, add water and cabbage, cover. Cook for 10 to 12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until cabbage becomes tender, drain. Spoon out generous helpings and drizzle with vinegar. Baked Parsnips Parsnips are a favored vegetable of the Irish and were eaten during the winter months when other produce was unavailable. Although colored differently and larger than carrots, they have similar structural appearances.

When cooked they have a sweet, buttery flavor that pairs well with carrots. Ingredients 2 pounds parsnips, peeled, sliced 1 pound carrots, cut in bite sized pieces 1/4 cup water Salt and pepper to taste Pinch nutmeg 1/4 cup butter, cubed Directions Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In large greased baking dish, put parsnips, carrots, water, salt and pepper to taste, and sprinkle with nutmeg. Put dots of butter on top and bake for 40 - 45 minutes. Potato Collops Just as pasta is to Italians, potatoes are to the Irish. You can understand the importance of potatoes from this Irish saying: Only two things in this world are too serious to be jested about, potatoes and matrimony.

This dish places the potato at center stage with support from others actors to enhance the flavor. Ingredients 6 medium potatoes 1 medium onion, chopped 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped 3 tablespoons butter 5 slices thick raw bacon, diced 1 cup milk 6 tablespoons grated Ivernia or parmesan cheese Salt and pepper to taste Directions Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Thinly slice potatoes and set in the bottom of a greased baking dish. Place some onions, parsley, dots of butter and bacon on top with salt and pepper. Continue with another layer of potatoes and repeat until ingredients are finished. Pour milk over ingredients and top with grated Ivernia cheese.

Cover with foil and bake at 375 for one hour. Remove foil and bake until top layer is a nice, golden brown. Champ Irish champ (also known as poundies) is native to Northern Ireland where my family hails from. Its an unpretentious mashed potato dish that can be served as a main dish or as a wonderful side to any meal. Traditionally served with a dollop of butter in the center, it is beautiful to behold. Ingredients 6 medium potatoes, quartered, peeled 1 cup milk 1 bunch scallions, chopped 2 tablespoons butter Salt and pepper to taste Directions Place potatoes into a large pot and cover with water.
