Irish Nachos?
"This is NOT my recipe - it's Rachael Ray. Usually, I wouldn't post something like this, but it was a 60 second segment between commercial breaks where she gives you cool ideas to mix up old recipes. This aired yesterday and I ran out and HAD to try it. I LOVED IT! I had to post it. Even if no one here ever tried this and reviews this - at least I know if I ever want to find this recipe again - it will be here."

- Serves:
-
4-6
ingredients
- 20 -24 ounces potato waffle-shaped French fries
- 1 lb deli-sliced corned beef, chopped
- 1⁄2 small head green cabbage, thinly sliced (about 2 cups)
- 1 cup shredded irish farmhouse cheddar cheese
- 1 cup guiness beer
- 1 cup chicken stock
- 2 tablespoons evoo extra virgin olive oil
- 1 small onion, thinly sliced
- salt & fresh ground pepper
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons flour
directions
- Preheat oven to 450ºF.
- Arrange the waffle fries on a baking sheet and cook according to package directions, adding about 10 minutes onto the baking time to make them extra crispy.
- When the fries have about 10 minutes left, place a medium skillet over medium-high heat with 2 turns of the pan of EVOO, about 2 tablespoons. Add the corned beef to the skillet and sauté until light golden brown and heated through, 2-3 minutes.
- Add the onions and cabbage to the pan, and cook until the onions have softened and cabbage has wilted, 4-5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and reserve warm.
- While the veggies are cooking, place a medium pot over medium-high heat and melt the butter. Add the flour to the pot and cook for about a minute.
- Whisk the beer into the mixture and cook for about 30 seconds to cook off the alcohol. Whisk the chicken stock into the pan and bring up to a bubble. Simmer until thickened, 2-3 minutes, then remove from heat and stir in the cheese to melt. Season the sauce with salt and pepper.
- To serve, arrange the crispy waffle fries on a platter, top them with the corned beef and cabbage mixture and douse with a good helping of cheese sauce.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
From my name you can tell I am C-R-A-Z-Y for British telly and films. I'm not British, I just wish I was :-(
My 4 passions are: British Film & Telly, Traveling, Cooking/new recipes and DRINKING!!!!
(I quit smoking recently otherwise that would have been my 5th passion)
I tend to go through extreme food and product "Phases" for example: for 2 months I'll be in an "India" phase where I ONLY eat food and use products from India . The month after that might be my "Dutch" phases, where EVERYTHING has to come from the Netherlands, etc.... Sometimes I even DRESS the part - Like when I was in my "German Phase" I actually bought a few dirndls (and WORE them - in public!!! In all honesty, they are cery cute dirndles, not the hard-core grandma style) - the German phase what my longest - it lasted and entire year and made me broke buying all my groceries and milk from Germany (from www.lila.de --just in case you're interested) The shipping cost MORE than the actual food sometimes. But I HAD to have my SonnenBasserman Schlemmergulasch! LOL! Another time, I would only by my groceries at any of the 4 Polish grocery stores in my city, that was my least favorite phase because Polish food isn't that tasty, and it SMELLS! . I think that was my shortest phase, lasted 2 weeks, but I still by this yummy apple & mint juice drink there and Paprika flavored chips/crisps. I feel so embarressed admitting that here - and hope I'm not the only one who does that. Gawd, I hope my mother does read this and see what I'm spending all my money on!
So, no matter what "phase" I might be in Friday night is ALWAYS "British Night" - no matter what!
