Anyone have good St. Patrick’s Day and Other Irish Cusine Recipes?
St. Patrick’s Day, one of my all-time favorite holidays, will be here in about a month. I would like to get a head start in deciding what I am going to be eating for the day’s festivities. Does anyone have any good Low Carb St. Patrick’s Day Irish Recipes that they can share?

I always go the "corned beef and cabbage" route! I get a nice corned beef brisket, empty the spice packet into the bottom of my slow cooker, make thick onion ring slices from a raw onion and put those down next, then put the corned beef on top, and a couple bay leaves on top of THAT. Then I pour a low-carb beer over all and let cook on low at least 10 hours.
Separately, I steam cabbage and turnips. I don’t like them turned to mush!
Take out the corned beef, let it stand at least 15 minutes to firm up a bit, slice and eat with the cabbage and turnips and some good mustard.
I can’t wait! We love corned beef and make it throughout the year.

This sounds so good Charski! I think I will try it for St. Pat’s Day!

Instead of doing the whole corned beef roast, I just simply go to the deli and get a good quality corned beef sliced very thickly. I cut that into pieces and put it, along with some chicken base, butter, salt, and pepper, in the water with the cabbage, potaotes, celery, onions, turnips and cauliflower. Since the meat is only heating through, it is done the same time as the veggies, only with less work.

I corn my own beef, using Cook’s Illustrated method:
Corned Beef
It’s excellent.
Lots of cabbage and carrots and a few red potatoes.

I do almost the same exact thing!
I dont use the spice packet though, just some bay and beer. I also make carrots and potatoes for DH, all steamed on the side like you! 
Then we do a horseradish sour cream sauce instead of mustard.

Charski, that way of cooking your corned beef sounds great!
I haven’t tried yet, but I bet we could make a lc colcannon, using mashed cauli as the potato. Anyone here tried it? I love that on St. Pat’s Day.
