This year, why not get creative in the kitchen with Ireland’s national drink and try these with Guinness recipes? Whether you are a sweet or savoury person, here are some of the best Guinness-braised recipes starring the famous Irish stout.
St Patrick’s Day is today, and nothing screams Irish culture louder than a hearty pint of Guinness. First made in 1759 in the brewery of Arthur Guinness at St James’s Gate in Dublin, it is estimated that annual sales of Guinness now exceed more than 850 million litres, equating to roughly 1.5 billion pints.
Let’s start with the savoury. BBQ ribs are out, Guinness braised short ribs are in. Season your ribs, add some veggies and glaze with Guinness before roasting. You can find the full recipe on the Guinness website.
Another Irish twist from this website takes on the traditional steak and ale pie with a healthy glug of Guinness to establish a new classic: the Guinness and Beef Pie.
Instead of stuffing an onion or lemon up the rear end of your roast chicken, spice up this week’s Sunday roast by sticking a Guinness can up there. Yes, you read that right. The Sticky Guinness Can Chicken recipe from Mob Kitchen is simple and delicious.
Onto the sweet stuff. Food blogger and debut cookbook author, Jane Patisserie, created a Chocolate Guinness Cake, the perfect afternoon tea-time treat this St Paddy’s. Moist, chocolatey, and indulgent.
Get creative decorating your cake! As well as flavouring your cake with Guinness, why not make it look like a pint of Guinness too? You will just need some black and white fondant icing, some white glacé icing, and a steady hand!
Want to stop being so vanilla? Try making Guinness Ice Cream, the perfect blend of sweet vanilla and bitter Guinness.
