If corned beef and cabbage isn’t your thing, there are plenty of other great Irish-inspired meals to celebrate this St. Patrick’s Day, with or without a nip of Bushmills and a pint of stout.

Food Ideas

• Love to Cook: Guinness stew (with beef or lamb) or a Dublin coddle (either will take about three hours)
• Weeknight Reality: Bangers and mash with green peas
• Need a Miracle: Open-faced corned beef sandwiches with deli potato salad
