Happy first day of March! We're slowly but surely inching towards spring. Hurrah! But more importantly for us in the Mahoney family, we're even closer to Saint Patrick's Day. Ever since we've returned from Ireland, we've been itching to go back to the motherland for more Irish eats. After a late night stop (and by late night, I mean around 9pm because Europeans do not keep late hours), we found a family run restaurant that was still open and stopped in for a bite to eat. They had a live band playing, and coupled with the great food, it was the first time I got a feel for the true Irish way of life. In the spirit of the upcoming St. Patrick's holiday, I pulled several delicious recipes from the Golden Blossom Honey website that I want to share with you over the next few Fridays that will be perfect to add to your menu. So be sure to stop by to grab these recipes so can be ready to feast March 17! This week I made Red Cabbage and Pepper Slaw. I know green cabbage tends to be the star of the show, but why not shake things up this year? Don't mess with boring boiled or steamed green cabbage, but add a burst of crunchy color to your table instead.
This is not a sweet slaw. The honey mustard and mustard seed give it more of an earthy flavor that pairs exceptionally well with corned beef. St. Patrick's Day will fall on a Sunday this year, so you should have plenty of time to put this dish together. But, if you do find that your schedule is packed, this slaw can be made up to a day ahead of time and refrigerated until ready to use.
