Beef Stew

Through the years, the Irish flag has been waved by world-class rugby players. Aside from producing exceptional athletes, Ireland is also known for its famous international musicians like The Corrs, The Cranberries, U2, Boyzone and Ronan Keating, amongst others. For this, people tend to create a certain impression of Ireland, an impression which might be merely about sports and music. Unknown to many, however, Ireland actually has a very rich and unique culture which even extends to food.

The Irish cuisine may seem to be one of the most unknown cuisines in the world for people often tend to neglect it and count it under the normal English cuisine. However, this is not the case.

In Ireland, high-quality beef, which is export quality, and large potatoes are majorly used in traditional dishes. The most known of these dishes are the Irish Stew and Boxty, a potato pancake.

The Irish Stew is made from beef and mutton, the meat of domestic sheep. Carrots, onions and potatoes are added into the dish for more flavor and color. It is cooked by first cleansing the meat through boiling, and eliminating the fat through draining it afterwards. All ingredients are then simmered with stock until everything gets cooked. The process is just mainly boiling which is why the Irish stew is often called "not browned."

Boxty, an easier dish, is made by combining grated raw potatoes, flour, buttermilk, baking soda and egg. The mixture is then fried on a griddle pan like a traditional pancake.
