Recipe: St. Patrick’s Day

image

One more recipe for St. Patrick’s Day! I love pasties, and these look particularly mouth-watering. Back in the day, I worked as a recipe tester for a couple of cookbooks. One of the books was for an Irish Pub, and I recall making an Irish Stew with Guinness. This is a very similar type of recipe, but with a nice bit of crust. I think you could very easily put this in a slow cooker, then go on about the rest of your day. You can also roll out your own crust, if you’re up to it. Just FYI, this recipe calls for Ballymaloe Country Relish. As I had never heard of it, I had to look it up. It’s a tomato-based relish and sounds delish! Here’s a homemade recipe version if you do not have access to the actual product: Ballymaloe Country Relish.

These pasties look to be a very economical, hearty, and satisfying meal. Don’t just limit these to St. Patrick’s Day, though. I think they would be delightful at any time of the year.

Enjoy!
