Irish Soda Bread

Three Traditional Irish Recipes

Irish cooking is quite notable for being hardy as well as consisting of cheap, everyday ingredients. The recipes I have included below are a few of my favorites and are quite easy to make. If you are looking for a filling and nutritious family dish, try these recipes and give your family a peek at traditional Irish fare!

Dublin Coddle

Ingredients:
1lb sausages
8 ounces bacon
1 cup water
6 medium potatoes
2 medium onions
salt and pepper

Directions:
Cut the bacon into squares about 1-inch in size. In a saucepan, bring the water to boil and add the sausages and bacon. Cover and allow them to simmer for about 5 minutes. Remove the meat from the saucepan, but keep the water. Cut the sausages into quarters. Peel the potatoes and slice thickly. Skin and slice the onions. In a saucepan, assemble a layer of potatoes, followed by a layer of onions, half of the sausages and bacon, and then repeat the layering. Finish off with a layer of potatoes. Pour the retained water (from the sausages and bacon) over the layering and season lightly. Cover and simmer on a low heat for about an hour. Adjust the seasoning to taste before serving.

Corned Beef and Cabbage

Ingredients:
5 lbs corned beef brisket
1 large onion
6 carrots (peeled and slice)
8 new potatoes (peeled and cubed)
2 heads of cabbage (quartered)
1/2 pint whipping cream
3 tbsp horseradish
6 whole cloves
Dried thyme (to taste)
Bunch of parsley

Embed the cloves into the onion in different places. In a large pot of water, bring the beef, potatoes, carrots, onion, thyme, and parsley to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and allow the stew to simmer for about 3 hours. Remove the thyme, parsley, onion, and any sedimentary bits floating on the top. Add the cabbage, cover, and simmer for another 20 minutes, or until the cabbage is thoroughly cooked. Remove the meat from the pot and divide it into pieces. Remove the cabbage and season heavily with pepper. Place the beef on a large serving plate and surround it with the cabbage, potatoes, and carrots. Whip together the cream and horseradish sauce and serve in a dipping bowl.

Soda Bread

Ingredients:
4 cups plain flour
1 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp sugar (optional)
2 cups buttermilk

In a large bowl, blend together the flour, salt, baking soda, and sugar. Run the ingredients through a sieve/sifter before adding to the bowl, if possible. Add the buttermilk and mix well to form a soft dough. Knead the dough lightly—be sure not to over or under work it. Form a loaf (about the thickness of a fist) and place it on a floured surface. Dip a knife in flour and cut an X into the top of the loaf. Place on a cookie sheet and bake at 450 degrees F for 30 - 45 minutes. To test for doneness, tap on the bottom of the loaf—if it sounds hollow, then it's done. Wrap the loaf in a clean towel to prevent the crust from becoming too hard.

Rosewater and Soda Bread $19.99 The beautiful Iranian sisters-Marjan, Bahar, and Layla Aminpour -have charmed the locals of Ballinacroagh with their warm hearts and the delectable Persian cuisine of their beguiling Babylon Caf, bringing a saffron-scented spice into the once-sleepy Irish town.

With pale skin and webbed hands, the girl is otherworldly, but her wounds tell a more earthly (and graver) story. Each sister must also contend with her own transformation-Marjan tests her feelings for love, Bahar takes on a new spiritual commitment, and Layla matures into a young woman when she and her boyfriend, Malachy, step up their relationship. Filled with mouthwatering recipes and enchanting details of life in Ireland, ROSEWATER AND SODA BREAD is infused with a lyrical warmth that radiates from the Aminpour family to the whole of Ballinacroagh-and the world beyond.

Soda Bread $68.51 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Soda bread is a type of quick bread in which bread soda (otherwise known as sodium bicarbonate or baking soda) is used as a raising agent rather than the more common yeast. The ingredients of traditional soda bread are flour, bread soda, salt, and buttermilk. Other ingredients can be added such as raisins, egg or various forms of nuts. The buttermilk in the dough contains lactic acid, which reacts with the baking soda to form tiny bubbles of carbon dioxide. In Ireland, the flour is typically made from soft wheat; so soda bread is best made with a cake or pastry flour (made from soft wheat), which has lower levels of gluten than a bread flour.

Bread and Dreams $9.99 “A lovely book.” raved Anne Rivers Siddons about Mina, Jonatha Ceely’s luminous debut novel. “Suspenseful…evocative…meticulously researched,” praised the Boston Globe . Now Ceely returns to the tumultuous mid-nineteenth- century landscape and the world of an unforgettable Irish girl named Mina Pigot. Appealing to mind, sense, and emotion, Bread and Dreams is a sumptuous novel of love and food, loss, hunger, and hope. In 1848, a time when sail was giving way to the swift power of steam, Mina boards the sailing ship Victoria , headed for a new life in America. Orphaned and alone, under the protection of her friend Mr. Serle, Mina is, like the Victoria , at the mercy of the winds of fate. But what awaits both Mina and her protector in New York is a world rich with opportunity and danger. As Mr. Serle, a master chef, finds work in a bustling hotel, Mina tries the life of a salesgirl and then joins the downstairs kitchen of a wealthy family, where she soon proves her exquisite touch with food. But mysteries swirl all around the Westervelt home, and soon they engulf Mina too. As she tries to navigate the shoals and eddies of hidden affairs and powerful secrets, and as her feelings for the mysterious Mr. Serle subtly begin to shift, a remarkable series of events begins to unfold. For Mina, an extraordinary adventure begins, one that will take her far away from New York—and bring a sudden, surprising change of heart…and an unexpected gift of love and responsibility. From the gaslit streets of old New York to the cargo-crowded waterways of the Erie Canal, from one man fighting a personal battle of faith, duty, and desire to another scarred in body and soul by was, Bread and Dreams is filled with marvelously drawn characters and vivid images. And in the keenly observant, steadfast Mina Pigot we are given a narrator to treasure—and a brilliant guide into the heart and soul of America. PRAISE FOR JONATHA CEELY’S FIRST NOVEL MINA “Jonatha Ceely has caught perfectly the beauty, cruelty, and the very essence of one England about to transmute into another. A lovely book.”—Anne Rivers Siddons, author of Islands “Suspenseful…evocative…vivid.”— Boston Globe “Captures the period perfectly with vivid description and minute historical detail.”— Booklist “Absorbing and suspenseful…filled with vivid and surprising characters struggling to find their way amid the social turmoil of the time.” —Lauren Belfer, author of City of Light “The hardships of poverty and displacement are tempered with hope, determination and the will to survive in this well-researched debut historical novel. Ceely’s prose is graceful…and fans of the genre will appreciate [her] light touch and historical consistency. — Publishers Weekly From the Hardcover edition.
