French fries (in this case, baked wedges). Dark stout (like Guinness). Melted cheese. What do all these have in common? They're all very craved for little indulgences. And now, they also have this dish in common, where they come together in perfect awesomeness. :)
The flavors in this dish are obviously Irish, but I can't label it as "world kitchen" because it's not really a traditional dish from that cuisine. But I bet there are a lot of Irish people who would smile at this dish and ask for a generous serving :).
Recipe idea adapted from here.
Last year: nothing.
Two years ago: nothing.
Three years ago: nothing.
Four years ago: Pastel de Piña (Pineapple Tart) (Nicaraguan).
Five years ago: Ardî Shawkî bil-Bayd (Artichokes with scrambled eggs) (Syrian).
Six years ago: Ginger, apple and lime smoothie (raw vegan).
Seven years ago: Oven-baked salmon with herb crust and caramelized baby carrots.
Eight years ago: Pina colada cupcakes (muffins) and Brussels sprouts side with garlic, nutmeg, lemon and chives (vegan).
Ingredients (serves 2):
- 750 g small potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons dark stout (we used Guinness)
- salt and pepper
- 100 g Cheddar cheese
- 1-2 green onions, just the green parts
Preheat oven to 220 degrees C (or medium-high). Wash the potatoes and cut them into wedges (without peeling them. Mix them very well with the oil, beer, salt and pepper in a bowl.
Spread them on a baking paper lined tray.
Put them in the oven and bake for 45 minutes.
Take them out, sprinkle the cheese (broken or cut into medium pieces) and the chopped onions on top:
Return to the oven for another 3 minutes (not more or you risk the cheese to be rather scorched than melted).
Take out and it's done:
Transfer on serving plates and dig in (before they cool too much and the cheese hardens) ! :)
