Question of the Day
What do you do with St. Patty's Day leftovers?
Like Thanksgiving, St. Patrick's Day is a holiday that lends itself well to day-after leftovers. Chef concoct up corned beef sandwiches, hash, colcannon, Irish Benedicts and even burgers.
without a doubt, corned beef and cabbage sandwiches. soda bread, horseradish, mustard. enough said.
I love making a corned beef, mustard, sourkraut, mashed potato, and rye bread sandwich. Awesome!
Take the leftover corned beef and make it into hash of course! Big chunks of the beef along with sauteed onion and garlic, boiled chunks of potato and parsnip...mix it, fry it til it's crispy and top it with poached eggs!!
Like Thanksgiving food, St Patrick's food lends itself handily to leftovers. Especially if you made colcannon, whipping up a delicious hash is easy. The shredded corned beef mixed with the colcannon and sparked with horseradish and lots of flat-leaf parsley makes a great dinner with a salad of endives with sherry-mustard vinaigrette. Just brown the cakes in an iron skillet and pop them into the oven to heat through. I like to pile the salad right on top of the hash to serve.
We're fortunate to live within walking distance to Devon Market. They have a wonderful selection of Baltic Breads; perfect for a Corned Beef on Rye.
It's not original but I'm going to make corned beef hash this year. It will be a surprise family meal for all the bakers.
Left over corned beef always makes a great breakfast or lunch in the form of corned beef hash or a nice fat rueben sandwich.
The day after St. Patty's day is all about breakfast and hangover cure. I would do an irish inspired benedict. Toast english muffins then top with grain mustard, leftover cabbage, and corned beef. Place poached eggs on top of cabbage and top off with a guiness hollandaise. This seems like the pefect day after breakfast to me.
Cornbeef hash for breakfast, a tried and true classic.
corned beef and irish soda bread! i like to make reubens, but i am dying to try making a crispy corned beef boxty "burrito".
The obvious answers are corned beef sandwiches and corned beef hash, but we like to use scraps, ends and leftovers a little differently. Chopped corned beef mixed with ground beef makes for a great burger or add some egg and bread crumbs for some killer meatballs. We might incorporate it into a sausage or garnish a pate as well.
