Celebrate St Patricks Day with some of Jana's favourite Irish recipes!
BABY GUINNESS
YOU WILL NEED
Shot glass
30ml Tia Maria
15ml Baileys
Fill a shot glass almost to the top with 30ml of Tia Maria
Top off with 15ml of Baileys - it should float perfectly on top making the 'head' of your shot!
FIFTEENS
YOU WILL NEED
15 digestive biscuits, crushed
15 marshmallows
15 glace cherries, halved
200ml condensed milk
100g desiccated coconut
Put the crushed biscuits in a large mixing bowl.
Chop each marshmallow into 4 pieces and add to the bowl with the cherries and 175ml of the condensed milk. Mix until the ingredients are well-combined and you have a sticky mixture. If it's too dry, just add a splash more condesnsed milk.
Sprinkle most of the desiccated coconut over a large piece of clingfilm (or foil). Tip the mixture onto the coconut and shape into a long sausage, about 30cm x 5cm. Sprinkle more coconut over the top of it and wrap the clingfilm tightly around, twisting the ends together.
Chill for 4-6 hours, then cut into 15 slices and serve. Will keep in the fridge for up to 1 week wrapped in clingfilm.
POTATO BREAD
YOU WILL NEED
4 medium potatoes, peeled and halved
32g all-purpose flour, plus extra for dusting
1 pinch of salt
1tbsp melted butter
Cover potatoes with water in a pan and bring to the boil. Simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes. Turn off the heat, drain, return potatoes to pan and allow to completley dry out, then mash until smooth.
Place the mashed potato in a bowl and stir in flour, salt and melted butter. Mix lightly until a dough forms.
On a well-floured surface, knead the dough lightly - it will be sticky. Use a floured rolling pin to roll into a 20cm circle about 1/4cm thick. Cut into quarters using a floured knife.
Sprinkle a little flour over the base of a frying pan and cook the farls for 3 minutes each side or until browned. Season with a little salt and serve.
