St. Patrick’s Day!

St. Patrick’s Day!

Everyone is Irish on St. Patrick’s day! Some favorite ways to celebrate are wearing green, sharing shamrocks, eating corned Beef and Cabbage, and drinking green beer.   If St. Patricks Day is an excuse to eat Corned Beef and Cabbage then here a recipe from Irish Traditional Cooking by Darina Allen.

4 lb corned brisket of beef

3 large carrots, cut into large chunks

6 to 8 small onions

1 teaspoon dry English mustard

Large sprig fresh thyme and some parsley stalks, tied together

1 cabbage

Salt and freshly ground pepper
Put the brisket into a saucepan with the carrots, onions, mustard and the herbs. Cover with cold water, and bring gently to a boil. Simmer, covered, for 2 hours. Discard the outer leaves of the cabbage, cut in quarters and add to the pot. Cook for a further 1 to 2 hours or until the meat and vegetables are soft and tender.

Serve the corned beef in slices, surrounded by the vegetables and cooking liquid. Serve with lots of floury potatoes and mustard.

Above Restaurant & Bar has many appetizing meals to choose from on their menus, however when Joe is making your pasta dish, you know it’s going to be a dinner you won’t want to end!

Our pasta at Above is homemade and fresh, so as soon as you take that first bite, a smile comes hand in hand.

Another plus to our pastas are we have a variety to choose from! f you’re a pasta fan who loves to twirl the pasta on your fork and into your mouth the Whole Wheat Spaghetti, with mixed vegetables, garlic and oil with a touch of tomato is for you!

Don’t worry, for those who just want a quick easy bite of fresh pasta the Home Made Ravioli, Pancetta, Shallots, Asparagus finished with Pinot Grigio and a Touch of Cream or our Rigatoni Semolina could be just what you were craving!
