Sharon Hearne Smith’s Porridge Bread is SO easy to make! @RTEToday
Food Stylist & Writer
Sharon Hearne Smith’s Sesame Seed Porridge Bread from Today with Maura and Dáithí.
Ingredients
This is an unusual bread recipe, based on porridge oats and yoghurt instead of flour and water. It is quick, easy and virtually foolproof to make.
Use any selection of seeds you prefer instead of sesame seeds, or omit them altogether for a plain bread. Alternatively, add other flavours like nuts and dried fruits or sundried tomatoes and basil or a swirl of pesto would be delicious too. This bread stays quite moist and fresh for a few days stored in an airtight container.
Makes: 1 loaf (about 12 slices)
- Sunflower oil for greasing
- 500g tub natural yoghurt
- 100ml milk
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp sesame seeds + extra for sprinkling
- 2 tsp bicarbonate of soda
- 2 x 500ml yoghurt tubs of porridge oats (or 400g)
- butter for serving, optional
Method
- Preheat the oven to 200C (fan 180C), 400F, Gas Mark 6. Grease a 1Lb loaf tin (approximately 3 x 5 x 7 inch) with parchment paper and grease again.
- Scoop the yoghurt into a large bowl. Add the milk, oil, sesame seeds and bicarbonate of soda and mix until well blended.
- Fill a clean and dry yoghurt tub with oats and tip them in. Repeat with a second tub of oats. Alternatively, weigh out 400g of oats on a scales.
- Mix everything together until well blended.
- Spoon into the prepared tin, spreading the top level. Scatter a small handful of sesame seeds on top.
- Bake for 45 minutes or until golden brown and a skewer comes out clean when pierced in the middle.
- Remove from the tin and return the loaf to oven, directly on the shelf, for another 5 minutes to dry out the crust.
- Remove and leave to cool on a wire rack. Cut into slices and serve spread with a little butter if liked.
Rhubarb & Custard Swiss Roll by Rachel Allen @Ballymaloe
More from
Rachel Allen’s Cake Diaries
Rachel Allen’s Cake Diaries
Ingredients
- butter (melted, for greasing)
- 4 eggs
- 125 g (41/2 oz) caster sugar (plus 3 tbsp for sprinkling)
- 2 tblsp warm water
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 125 g (41/2 oz) plain flour (plus extra for dusting)
- for the filling
- 200 g (7oz) rhubarb (about 2 stalks, trimmed), cut into 5mm (1/4 in) slices
- 125 g (41/2 oz) caster sugar
- 200 ml (7fl oz) milk
- 1 vanilla pod, split lengthways, or 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 3 egg yolks
- 15 g (1/2 oz) cornflour
- 100 ml (31/2 fl oz) whipped double or regular cream (measured when whipped)
Method
- Preheat the oven to 190°C (375°F/Gas 5). Line the base of the Swiss roll tin (25 x 38cm/ 10 x 15′) with baking parchment, brush the base and sides of the tin with melted butter and dust with flour.
- Using a hand-held electric beater or an electric food mixer, whisk together the eggs, caster sugar, water and vanilla extract until light and fluffy.
- Sift in the flour, about one-third at a time, and fold it into the mixture. Carefully pour the mixture into the prepared Swiss roll tin and bake in the oven for 12–15 minutes or until the centre of the sponge is slightly springy to the touch and the edges have shrunk a little from the sides of the tin.
- Take a piece of baking parchment slightly larger in size than the tin and spread out on a work surface.
- Sprinkle the paper evenly with caster sugar (this is to stop the cake sticking to the paper). Quickly flip the Swiss roll tin over onto the sugared paper, then carefully remove the tin and baking parchment from the bottom of the cake.
- Place a clean, slightly damp tea towel over the cake while it cools – this will prevent it drying out and cracking when you roll it.
- Meanwhile, make the filling. Place the rhubarb in a saucepan with 75g (3oz) of the caster sugar and 25ml (1fl oz) of water and place on a medium heat, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Bring to the boil and allow to boil, uncovered and stirring regularly, for 10–15 minutes or until the rhubarb is completely soft and the mixture is quite thick.
- Tip out onto a plate and allow to cool.
- Next make the custard. Place the milk and the split vanilla pod (if using) in another pan and bring to the boil.
- Whisk the egg yolks (and vanilla extract, if using) with the remaining sugar (I like to use a hand-held electric beater for this) for a few minutes or until pale and light. Then briefly whisk in the cornflour.
- Pour the hot milk and vanilla pod (if using) onto the egg mixture, whisking as you pour, then tip it all back into the saucepan and cook, stirring all the time, over a low heat for a few minutes or until it forms a thick custard.
- Pour it into a bowl and allow to cool, then fold in the cooled rhubarb and the whipped cream – you can leave it slightly marbled (not fully mixed) if you prefer.
- When the sponge is completely cold, spread over the rhubarb and custard mixture, then, with one of the short sides facing you, roll up the Swiss roll away from you and carefully transfer to a serving plate.
- Sprinkle with a little extra caster sugar to finish, then cut into slices about 2cm (3/4in) thick to serve.
Roasted Garlic Champ with Pure Irish Butter
This traditional Irish peasant food gets an upgrade with the help of some pure Irish butter and decadent truffle oil. The snap of fresh chives adds a finishing touch to an old-fashioned side made new again.
Ingredients:
- 1 garlic bulb (about 3 ounces)
- 2 pounds russet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks
- 1 cup whole milk
- Salt and pepper
- 4 tablespoons Kerrygold Pure Irish Butter
- 8 teaspoons truffle oil
- 4 teaspoons minced fresh chives
Directions:
Heat oven to 400° F. Cut off the top 1/2 to 1 inch off garlic bulb to expose cloves. Wrap garlic in foil, place in baking pan and bake until soft and browned, about 45 minutes. Squeeze garlic from skins. Meanwhile, in large saucepan over high heat, bring 1 quart water to boil. Add potatoes, cover and return to boil. Reduce heat to medium-high and simmer until potatoes are very tender, about 10 minutes. Drain potatoes and return to pan. Heat milk in microwave oven until steaming, about 1 minute. Pour milk over potatoes, add roasted garlic and mash with potato masher. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Spoon onto four plates or small bowls. Make a well in the middle of each serving and fill with 1 tablespoon Kerrygold Butter. Drizzle each serving with 2 teaspoons truffle oil and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon chives.

Neven Maguire’s Pan-fried Hake with Lemon and Herb Butter Sauce @BordBia @macneanhouse
Of course this recipe is great with just parsley but experiment with a combination of soft fragrant herbs sauce as parsley, chives, tarragon or chervil depending on what’s available.
Serves 4
Ingredients
- 4 x 175g hake fillets, skin on and boned
- 1 tablesp. olive oil
- Salt and freshly ground pepper
- 50g butter
- ½ lemon, pips removed
- 1 tablesp. chopped mixed herbs (parsley, chives and tarragon)
To Cook
Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan and add the seasoned hake fillets, skin side down. Cook for a couple of minutes until the skin is just beginning to crisp, then add little knobs of butter to the pan around each hake fillet and cook for another couple of minutes until the skin is crisp.
Turn the hake fillets over and cook for another 3-4 minutes until cooked through. This will depend on the thickness of the fillets. Transfer to warmed plates while you make the sauce.
Add the rest of the butter to the frying pan and allow it to gently melt over a moderate heat. When it has melted, add a squeeze of lemon juice and the herbs, swirling to combine. Season to taste. Spoon this sauce over the hake fillets and serve with steamed broccoli and some sautéed new potatoes.
Serving Suggestions
Steamed broccoli and sauté new potatoes
Tips
Above all be careful not to overcook the fish. To check, gently prod the thickest part of the fish with a small knife. If it is cooked, the flesh will look opaque and the flakes will separate easily. If it isn’t done yet, it will still have the translucent look for raw fish.
Other fish you could use: Whiting, haddock or trout fillets
