People celebrate St. Patrick’s Day in a lot of different ways. Many people attend the parades, festivities, don their best green outfits, and search for shamrocks. However way you plan to celebrate, there’s certainly one thing that’s important – the food! We have something for everyone, thanks to the Food Monster App. From traditional recipes to things that are just green and fun, and even dishes that have that extra “kick” to it, we’ve got you covered.
1. Almond, Raisin, and Basil Soda Bread
Unlike yeast breads, soda breads rely on baking soda for leavening and there’s no kneading involved, making it a fast and easy-to-make bread. The exterior of this Almond, Raisin, and Basil Soda Bread is crusty but the inside is slightly moist. This recipe is flavored with almonds, raisins, and basil, giving it an herby and nutty flavor but feel free to get creative with rosemary, thyme, or any other spices you like in bread. What a classic beauty.
2. Hasselback Zucchini
Potatoes aren’t the only vegetable that can enjoy this technique; zucchini is a breath of fresh air in this overwhelming sea of starch. Choose smaller squash to ensure quick cooking times and cut consistent, wafer-thin slices for the best results. Trust us, this Hasselback Zucchini is a real party pleaser.
