LCBO Food & Drink Spring 2022

SEASONAL

Guinness & Treacle–Glazed Roast Lamb Shoulder Guinness and treacle combine to make a wonderfully savoury, sweet and sticky glaze for satisfying, slow-roasted lamb shoulder.

St. Patrick’s Day in Ireland is celebrated differently than on our side of the pond. While plenty of green is worn, you won’t see green rivers—and you’ll be out of luck if you’re looking for green beer. On the Emerald Isle, St. Patrick’s Day commemorates the arrival of Christianity to the country and celebrates Irish heritage and culture in general, with a strong focus on family, friends and, of course, great food and drink. Regardless of where you’re celebrating, and no matter your budget or the formality of your gathering, the recommendations and recipes here will rise to your occasion like the cascading foam on a freshly poured pint of stout. Luck of the Irish Everyone’s a little bit Irish on St. Patrick’s Day. Prepare a simple roasted lamb shoulder supper or an elegant rack of lamb, and serve it alongside beers and spirits—or a cocktail—from the Emerald Isle. By Jesse Vallins photography by rob fiocca
