It is interesting to note how memories emerge connected to each other… A memory will bring awake an other, linked to it by words, places and even flavours 😉 . Following then our thoughts, today we’re going back to Ireland, presenting an interesting brown bread made with oats and Guinness beer.
This bread has a delicate aroma of bitter beer, that is softened by molasses and muscovado sugar. The oatmeal give it a slightly crumbly texture.
Guinness is traditional in Ireland and widely used in the kitchen. There are also several variations of beer bread, some darker, some more “wet”: each area has its own variant. All, however, are united by the bitter taste, and reach their apotheosis with a little salted butter and a slice of smoked salmon: an excellent appetizer that we recommend 🙂 . Other times this bread is served at the beginning of the meal to accompany great soups, such as tomato soup. What are you waiting for? Try it! 🙂
