It’s time to use the Bellleek porcelain & pour a cup of Irish tea with a dash of Irish Whiskey! You’ve invited your friends and you need a dish to fit the St. Patrick’s theme . Try my O’Kelly Pot Roast for the lucky lot who is invited to your “céilidh.”
Prepare a good chuck pot roast by searing and braising it for at least 4 hours. Flavor it with onions, onion soup and a green pepper. Two hours before the meat is done, add carrots. When the carrots are cooked, remove the roast and strain the broth. To one cup of the broth add one heaping tablespoon of flour and mix it thoroughly. Add a dash of Irish Whiskey to the mixture. Add that to the broth and heat the sauce on the stove, stirring constantly, until thick. Add some pearl onions into the sauce to simmer. Adjust the seasoning and then, add the meat back into the pot with the cooked carrots. Next, create a nest on hash browns on each plate or ramekin. Fill the “nest” with the sliced roast beef and root vegetables. It’s a “toastable” moment to count your blessings and wish for luck throughout the year. © Kelly McBride Loft
