St. Patrick's Day is Around the Corner!

Happy St. Patty’s Day! This month is a special time for everyone, especially our Members at the Co-op. On this month’s Member Deals flyer, you might’ve noticed that we’re offering a special on Colvard & Co Irish Bangers. Found in our frozen meat section these sausages are perfect for the traditional Irish bangers & mash. Below is helpful recipe so you can celebrate properly. Let’s get cooking!

Bangers & Mash: Ingredients

  • 1 pound potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 2 cups chopped or shredded cabbage
  • 2 1/2 cups onion, chopped
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 2 tablespoons butter, unsalted
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 8 links Colvard’s Irish Bangers
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch

Preparation

  1. In a medium saucepan, cover the potatoes with water. Bring to a boil and simmer 15 minutes, or until tender.
  2. As the potatoes are cooking, melt 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over low heat. Add cabbage and 1/2 cup onion and saute until soft but not brown. Remove from heat and reserve.
  3. Drain the cooked potatoes and mash by hand. Incorporate the milk and butter into the potatoes until well mixed, and fold in the cooked cabbage and onions. Season to taste.
  4. Fry sausage in another skillet over medium-high heat, until browned. Remove the sausage from the pan.
  5. In the pan juices, saute 2 cups chopped onion until lightly browned. Add beef broth, bring to a boil, and simmer 5 minutes. Thicken with cornstarch.
  6. Place one scoop of potatoes in the center of a serving plate, top with two sausages, and cover with gravy.
We recommend you pair this dish with an Irish beer or a lager. Lucky for you, we have the perfect one on sale! Jack’s Abby House Lager is waiting for you at the Co-op!

Wishing you all the Irish luck this St. Patrick's Day!
