30 Minute Meals Season 13 Episode 40 Breakfast in Dublin

Rachel Ray is taking us on a culinary adventure to Dublin, Ireland for this episode of 30 Minute Meals. We start with a classic Irish breakfast with a twist. Rachel shows us how to make her famous scrambled eggs with smoked salmon, scallions and buttery croissant. She also makes her version of baked beans that are sweet and tangy with a hint of spice. And no Irish breakfast would be complete without some sausages and black pudding.

Next up, Rachel takes us to one of her favorite bakeries in Dublin where she learns how to make brown soda bread. She also shows us how to whip up a quick and easy Irish smoked salmon and cream cheese spread that is perfect for brunch.

For lunch, Rachel heads to a local pub to make traditional Irish lamb stew. She even gets to help the chef stir the pot! Rachel's version of the stew is hearty and flavorful with tender chunks of lamb and plenty of vegetables. She also makes a side of colcannon, a classic Irish dish made with mashed potatoes and cabbage.

No trip to Dublin is complete without trying some of the city's famous whiskey. Rachel visits a local distillery where she learns about the whiskey-making process and even gets to sample a few different varieties. She also shows us how to make a delicious dessert using whiskey and cream.

For dinner, Rachel is inspired by the seafood of Dublin's coastline and makes a quick and easy shrimp scampi with garlic, lemon and parsley. She also serves up a side of roasted broccoli with parmesan and breadcrumbs for a little crunch.

Finally, Rachel takes us to her favorite spot for a nightcap – a cozy Irish pub. She shows us how to make a classic Irish coffee with plenty of whiskey and whipped cream. Sláinte!
