Hancock Peanuts and Irish Recipes: St. Patrick’s Day!

While peanuts aren’t traditionally a common ingredient in Irish cuisine, there are a couple of creative ways to incorporate them into Irish-inspired dishes:

1. Irish Pub Nachos with a Peanut Twist:

This recipe puts a fun spin on the classic pub nachos, incorporating Irish ingredients and a touch of peanut for added protein and texture.

Ingredients:
- Thick-cut potato wedges (baked or fried)
- Shredded cheddar cheese (Irish cheese like Gubbeen or Cashel Blue can be used for a more authentic touch)
- Chopped cooked bacon
- Diced red onion
- Chopped green bell pepper
- Chopped fresh parsley
- Drizzle of Irish whiskey (optional)
- Sour cream (optional)
- Salted Cocktail Nuts (roughly chopped)
Instructions:
1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) if baking potato wedges. Bake or fry potato wedges until golden brown and crispy.
2. Arrange potato wedges on a large platter.
3. Top with shredded cheese, cooked bacon, red onion, and green pepper.
4. Broil for a few minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly.
5. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and a drizzle of Irish whiskey (optional).
6. Serve with sour cream and a sprinkle of chopped salted peanuts for an added textural and salty contrast.

2. Irish Peanut Butter and Apple Crisp:

This recipe takes inspiration from the classic Irish dessert – apple crumble – but adds a unique twist with peanut butter.

Ingredients:
- Sliced apples (Irish dessert apples like Bramley’s Seedling work well)
- Lemon juice
- Brown sugar
- Rolled oats
- All-purpose flour
- Unsalted butter (cold and cubed)
- Creamy peanut butter
- Ground cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
Instructions:
1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish.
2. Toss sliced apples with lemon juice to prevent browning.
3. In a separate bowl, combine brown sugar, rolled oats, flour, and cinnamon. Cut in cold butter with a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
4. Spread half of the crumb mixture on the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
5. In a small bowl, combine peanut butter with a touch of water to create a spreadable consistency. Drizzle the peanut butter mixture over the apples.
6. Top with the remaining crumb mixture.
7. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apples are tender.
8. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream (optional).

These are just two ideas to get you started. With a little creativity, you can find other ways to incorporate peanuts into Irish-inspired dishes!
