DUBLIN STEAK WITH GUINNESS
1 kg. Rump steak
2 tablespoons dripping
2 lge. brown onions, chopped
2 cloves of garlic,crushed
1/4 cup plain flour
1 cup beef stock
1 cup of Guinness
2 large carrots sliced
2 bay leaves
1 sprig fresh thyme
ground pepper
1/2 cup prunes, halved and pitted (optional)
Chopped parsley for garnish
Remove any fact from the meat, cut into 1cm cubes. Heat 1 tablespoon of dripping in a pan and cook onions until pale golden. Add garlic, cook 1 minute longer, remove from pan and drain on absorbent paper.
Heat remaining dripping in a larger pan, add meat and cook quickly to brown on all sides. Reduce heat, stir in flour until all meat is coated.
Blend through stock to form a thick smooth sauce. Add Guinness and stir until mixture comes to simmering point. Add onions, carrots, herbs and pepper, stir until combined.
Simmer gently for 1 1/2 hours, stirring occasionally to prevent catching. Cook uncovered so that sauce can reduce and thicken. Serve garnished with chopped parsley.
Note: If using prunes, add to pan in the final 30 minutes of cooking. The addition of prunes to this dish adds sweetness and balances the distinctive bitterness of Guinness.

White Soda Bread
4 cups (16 oz) of all purpose flour.
1 Teaspoon baking soda
1 Teaspoon salt
14 oz of buttermilk
Method:
Preheat the oven to 425 F. degrees. Lightly crease and flour a cake pan.
In a large bowl sieve and combine all the dry ingredients.
Add the buttermilk to form a sticky dough. Place on floured surface and lightly knead (too much allows the gas to escape)
Shape into a round flat shape in a round cake pan and cut a cross in the top of the dough.
Cover the pan with another pan and bake for 30 minutes (this simulates the bastible pot). Remove cover and bake for an additional 15 minutes.
The bottom of the bread will have a hollow sound when tapped so show it is done.
Cover the bread in a tea towel and lightly sprinkle water on the cloth to keep the bread moist.

4 garlic cloves, peeled and cut in thirds
The Brine

Brownies with Irish Cream Icing
Brownies
4 oz. bittersweet chocolate
1 oz. unsweetened chocolate
1/2 C butter
3/4 C sugar
2 tsp. vanilla extract
1/4 tsp. salt
3 large eggs
1 C flour
Topping
1/3 C Irish Cream liqueur
8 oz. white chocolate, chopped
Pre-heat oven to 325° F.
Line a 8" x 8" baking pan with aluminum foil , leaving at least 2 inches of foil overhanging on all sides (this will help you life the finished brownies out of the pan and eliminate messy pan clean-up). Set aside.
Melt chocolate and butter together in a heavy saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and cool slightly.
Whisk sugar, vanilla and salt into chocolate mixture, followed by the eggs, one at a time. Continue whisking mixture until it is shiny and smooth. Add flour and whisk just until blended. Pour batter into prepared pan and level top. Bake for about 35 minutes, or until cake tester comes out with a few moist crumbs clinging to it. Cool completely in pan.
Topping
Heat liqueur to a boil, remove from heat and whisk in white chocolate until it is completely melted and mixture is smooth. Refrigerate until mixture becomes thick enough to spread, stirring occasionally, about 30 minutes. Spread topping over brownies and refrigerate until cold. Let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes before serving. To cut, simply lift brownies, foil and all out of pan, peel off foil and cut!

Irish Stew
Serves 4 to 6
Irish stew is traditionally served with buttered boiled carrots.
3 pounds small Yukon gold potatoes, peeled
2 medium onions (about 1 pound), halved lengthwise and cut into thin half-moons
2 1/2 pounds lamb shoulder, cut into 1-inch cubes
2 1/2 teaspoons coarse salt
Freshly ground pepper
2 teaspoons coarsely chopped fresh thyme
3 cups homemade lamb stock, or homemade or lowsodium store-bought chicken stock
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh curly- or flat-leaf parsley
1. Preheat oven to 325°. Cut 1 pound of the potatoes into 1/4-inch-thick rounds; spread them out in a large (5- to 6-quart) heavy-bottom pot or Dutch oven. Layer half the onions on top of the potatoes.
2. Place lamb cubes on top of onions. Sprinkle with 1 1/2 teaspoons salt; season with pepper. Add the thyme. Place remaining onions on top of lamb. Add the stock and 1 cup water.
3. Place whole potatoes on top of onions. Sprinkle with remaining teaspoon salt; season with pepper. Cover with a tight-fitting lid; bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Transfer to oven; cook, without stirring, 2 hours. Sprinkle with parsley.
Irish Soda Bread
Serves 4 to 6
Graham flour is coarser than regular whole-wheat flour, which also works. If you use the latter, substitute one-half cup wheat bran for one-half cup all-purpose flour.
3 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1 cup whole-wheat graham flour
2 1/2 teaspoons coarse salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
4 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
1 2/3 cups buttermilk
1. Preheat oven to 350°. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside. Whisk together the flours, salt, baking soda, and baking powder in a large bowl. With a pastry blender or your fingertips, blend in butter until it resembles small peas. Add buttermilk all at once; stir with a fork until mixture holds together.
2. In the bowl, pat the dough into a domeshaped loaf about 7 inches in diameter. Lift out dough; transfer to lined sheet.
3. Lightly dust top of loaf with flour. Cut a 3/4-inch-deep cross in top, reaching almost all the way to edges. Bake, rotating sheet halfway through, until deep golden brown and a cake tester inserted into the center comes out clean, about 1 hour and 20 minutes. Let cool on a wire rack.
