Best Irish Flag Sammich Recipes

IRISH PRIDE FLAG SANDWICH

Steps:

• Gather ingredients
• I steamed my asparagus and then blanched it to keep it's green color. Saute your mushrooms in a pan with a little olive oil. Mix your egg whites together with the cottage cheese and pour on top of your mushrooms and cook till done. Season with salt and white pepper.
• In another pan at the same time saute your orange peppers and sliced serranos in a little olive oil. Toast your bread in oven or toaster. Now assemble with asparagus on the bottom and then your egg mixture. Grate your fresh white sharp cheddar over you hot eggs so it will melt. Place your oranges and serrano peppers on top. NOw, mix your cayenne into your marmalade and spread on the top piece of your bread and place on the peppers.
• I served this with plain hummus & added some green dye to it with veggie sticks that were flavored potato, tomato and spinach. The dessert was mini chocolate gobbs with green filling. The drink was Gatorade G2 tropical blend that had a wonderful green color to it & tastes good too.
• Symbolism of the Irish Flag: The green pale in the flag symbolizes Irish republicanism dating back to the Society of United Irishmen in the 1790s. The orange represents the minority who were supporters of King William III, who was of the House of Orange and originally the Stadtholder of the Netherlands, had defeated King James II and his predominantly Irish Catholic army at the Battle of the Boyne in 1690. His title came from the Principality of Orange in the south of France that had been a Protestant bastion from the 16th century. It was included in the Irish flag in an attempt to reconcile the Orange Order in Ireland with the Irish independence movement. The white in the centre signifies a lasting truce between the two cultures and a living together in peace. The flag, as a whole, is intended to symbolise the inclusion and hoped-for union of the people of different traditions on the island of Ireland, which is expressed in the Constitution as the entitlement of every person born in Ireland to be part of the independent Irish nation, regardless of ethnic origin, religion or political conviction.

IRISH FLAG

Steps:

• Fill the shot glass 1/3 full with green crème de menthe. Carefully pour the Licor 43 over the back of a spoon until the shot glass is 2/3 full. Pour the Baileys over the back of a spoon as the top layer.

PAM'S LOX O' THE IRISH SAMMICH

Steps:

• Place cream cheese and mayonnaise in a bowl and mix thoroughly with a fork or whisk. (If using the optional dried veggie mix, rehydrate in a small bowl or cup with hot water or in the microwave for 30 seconds, set aside for the veggies to sufficiently soften, then drain and squeeze out any excess moisture.) Add dill, garlic powder, chives and rehydrated veggies (if using), and mix well.
• Wash and shake dry the watercress, split the hoagie rolls and spread with 1/4th of the cream cheese mixture, top and bottom. Add watercress to your liking and then layer about 1 1/2 oz. of smoked salmon on each roll. Place top on roll and serve. (If you like, you can toast the rolls in a hot skillet with a little butter before making the sandwiches.) Serve with orange carrot sticks, green olives and white cucumber or zucchini slices on a small bed of watercress. Add dab of spread on the side to dip veggies.
• You could substitute the pre-prepared Garden Veggie Cream cheese and just add a little extra dill and some mayo to it, if desired. I also think this would make an elegant brunch sandwich on mini croissants.

Steps:

• In a tall, skinny shot glass, first pour the Creme de Menthe. Then, pouring slowly over a barspoon or other small spoon, round side up, add the Bailey's. The Bailey's should float on top of the Creme de Menthe. Repeat the spoon process to pour the Jameson over the Bailey's. If at first you don't succeed, try, try again.
