19 Recipe For A Southern St Patricks Day Meal Prepare To Be Amazed!

Traditional Corned Beef and Cabbage

Ingredients:

• 3-4 pounds of corned beef brisket
• 1 onion, peeled and quartered
• 2 cloves of garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon of black peppercorns
• 1 teaspoon of mustard seeds
• 1 teaspoon of coriander seeds
• 1 teaspoon of dill seeds
• 1 bay leaf
• 1 head of cabbage, cut into wedges
• 8 small red potatoes, halved
• 4 large carrots, peeled and cut into chunks

For this southern twist on a classic St. Patrick's Day dish, we're going to add some extra flavor with a homemade spice blend. In a small bowl, mix together the black peppercorns, mustard seeds, coriander seeds, dill seeds, and bay leaf. This blend will give your corned beef a delicious kick of flavor.

Next, place the corned beef brisket in a large pot and cover it with water. Add the onion, garlic, and spice blend to the pot. Bring the water to a boil, then reduce the heat and let the brisket simmer for about 2 hours.

After 2 hours, add the cabbage, potatoes, and carrots to the pot. Let everything cook for an additional 30 minutes or until the vegetables are tender. Once everything is cooked, remove the brisket and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing it against the grain.

Serving Suggestions:

Add some southern charm to this dish by serving it with a side of creamy grits or collard greens. You can also add a splash of hot sauce for an extra kick of flavor.

Sweet Potato Biscuits

Ingredients:

• 2 cups of all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon of baking powder
• 1 teaspoon of salt
• 1/4 cup of granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup of cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
• 1 cup of mashed sweet potatoes
• 1/4 cup of whole milk

No southern meal is complete without some delicious biscuits. These sweet potato biscuits are the perfect addition to your St. Patrick's Day feast.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Add the cold butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to mix it into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

In a separate bowl, mix together the mashed sweet potatoes and milk. Slowly add this mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring until a soft dough forms.

On a floured surface, knead the dough a few times and then roll it out to about 1-inch thickness. Use a biscuit cutter to cut out the biscuits and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Bake the biscuits at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 15-20 minutes or until they are golden brown. Serve them warm with a dollop of butter and a drizzle of honey for a sweet and savory treat.

Serving Suggestions:

These biscuits pair perfectly with the corned beef and cabbage dish. You can also use them to make mini sandwiches with leftover corned beef for a fun and delicious twist.

With these two southern-inspired dishes, your St. Patrick's Day meal will be a hit with family and friends. These recipes are easy to make and packed with flavor, making them the perfect addition to your holiday celebrations. Happy cooking!
