Contrary to popular belief due to my freckles, I am not Irish. Not even a bit. I do, however, enjoy traditional Irish fare namely potatoes and cabbage. When my St. Patrick’s themed box from Melissa’s produce arrived last week, I was stoked to see loads of potatoes and baby brussels sprouts, or as I like to call them, mini cabbages. Also in the box was an ingredient I’d never seen before. Kale sprouts. I love cooking with the unknown so I was excited for a culinary challenge.
Another thing I have in common with the Irish is the love of beer. What goes better with beer than pizza? My non-Irish brain formulated this great plan to make an “Irish” pizza with the ingredients from my produce box, and wash it down with a creamy Guinness.
My plan was a success!
This pizza was delicious (and healthy!) and the perfect food for a Saturday afternoon with friends and drinks.
