Irish Bacon & Cabbage with Potatoes & Parsley Sauce #irishbaconandcabbage
Serious Mealtimes / Caroline Russock
On this side of the Atlantic corned beef and cabbage may be about as Irish a dish as they come but according to Darina Allen author of Forgotten Skills of Cooking bacon and cabbage is Ireland’s national dish. The dish calls for whole sirloin an export from the British Isles which is cooked with shredded cabbage before being served and paired with a creamy parsley sauce.
Unlike American bacon Irish bacon is made from the back of the pig rather than the belly and is much leaner than streaky bacon. I used pre-sliced Irish bacon for this recipe but whole versions are available from UK specialty stores.
