This Tuesday (March 30th), The Mosaic Center is celebrating Irish-American History Month from 11am until 1pm in the Commons 2B23. Everything is free! This is a great chance to try some new food and save a few bucks instead of buying lunch. Here is the menu:

Irish Salad- Mixed greens tossed in Jameson’s Irish whiskey vinaigrette topped with tomato wedges, bleu cheese, apples, and walnuts.

Pigs in a Blanket- Sweet Irish sausages wrapped with flaky puff pastry and baked to a golden brown. Served with a rich bordelaise sauce for dipping.

Shepard’s Pie- Lean ground beef sauteed with onions, celery, carrots and corn-simmered in red wine and beef stock. Topped with roasted garlic mashed potatoes and freshly grated Parmesan cheese and baked to a golden brown.

Irish Stew- Fresh leg of lamb cubed and simmered with celery, onions and potatoes in a rich demi-glace with spices and fresh herbs.

Guinness Chicken- Whole Perdue roaster pieces braised in Guinness, Irish whiskey and chicken stock with onions and carrots. Finished with honey and fresh herbs.

Tipsy Cake- Genoise cake layered with fruit cocktail macerated in Irish mist, whipped cream and custard.
