Protein dinners

The notion that the Irish are lucky must have something to do with the hearty proteins you’ll find in Dublin pubs. Lamb is a crowd-pleaser in Ireland, and these lamb lollipops with a green mint pesto are sure to be a hit.

Sticky Guinness chicken works as an appetizer or as the main show. If you want to serve chicken, another idea is this green goddess chicken – the chicken is cooked in a marinade made with fresh herbs, tahini, and miso – keep some to drizzle over for an extra burst of green flavor!

Lamb Lollipops Recipe

Lamb lollipops are marinated then seared in a hot pan for a few minutes until lightly charred and incredibly delicious. They are simple to make yet the flavor is outstanding. We like ours with an easy mint pesto for dipping!
