  • This Spaghetti Carbonara uses just four simple ingredients along with some salt and pepper and is ready in less than 15 minutes. Find the full recipe from our @simplybetterds brand ambassador @nevenmaguire below:

    Ingredients
    1 Pack Simply Better Italian Bronze Spaghetti
    2 Packs Simply Better Guanciale Pepato, cut into strips
    4 Simply Irish Better Free Range Corn Fed Large Eggs and 2 Yolks
    1 Pack Pecorino Romano PDO, finely grated
    Simply Better Oriel Sea Salt and Freshly Ground Black Pepper

    Method
    1. Bring a large saucepan of water to a rolling boil. Season with salt and cook the spaghetti for 10 minutes until al dente.
    2. Meanwhile, heat a non-stick frying pan over a high heat. Sauté the Guanciale for 2-3 minutes until crisp. Drain off the excess fat and tip on to a plate to cool.
    3. Beat the eggs and yolks in a mixing bowl until lightly and fluffy. Season generously with pepper and fold in most of the pecorino, reserving some to garnish.
    4. Drain the spaghetti, reserving a small cupful of the cooking water and immediately tip into the bowl with the egg mixture. Add most of the Guanciale, reserving some for garnishing, and toss with a tongs until evenly combined. The heat of the spaghetti will be enough to create a smooth silky sauce – you can add a little of the reserved cooking water if you think it needs it. Divide among bowls and garnish with the rest of the Guanciale and Pecorino to serve.

    Neven’s Top Tip: Reserving a small cupful of the pasta cooking water when draining can be used to enhance the silkiness of the cooking sauce before serving3d

To celebrate the final episode of Neven’s Irish Food Trails on RTÉ One tonight at 7:30 pm, we’re making Neven’s Mediterranean monkfish and potato stew with an almond crumb.

Ingredients

This is an excellent fail-safe recipe that I often find myself cooking at home. The almond crumb makes it into something just a bit more glamorous. Of course, you could use any fish you like and add some shellfish too if you feel like pushing the boat out.

Serves: 4

  • 25g (1oz) blanched almonds
  • 1 tsp sweet paprika
  • 4 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 red onions, finely chopped
  • 1 fennel bulb, trimmed and finely chopped
  • 2 tsp fennel seeds
  • ½–1 tsp dried chilli flakes 
  • a good pinch of saffron strands soaked in a little hot water
  • 2 large garlic cloves, finely chopped
  • 2 x 400g (14oz) tins of whole plum tomatoes
  • 300ml (½ pint) fish or chicken stock (preferably homemade)
  • 450g (1lb) small new potatoes, scrubbed and halved or quartered if large
  • 675g (1½lb) boneless monkfish, skinned with all tough membrane removed and cut into bite-sized pieces
  • sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley, to garnish

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F/gas mark 4). 
  2. To make the almond crumb, spread the almonds out on a baking sheet and place in the oven for about 5 minutes, until they are golden.
  3. Allow to cool, then roughly chop until they resemble coarse breadcrumbs. Place in a bowl and mix with the paprika and 1 teaspoon of salt. Set aside until needed.
  4. Put a large casserole with a lid over a high heat on the hob and add the olive oil. Turn the heat down to medium and add the onions and fennel.
  5. Stir in the fennel seeds, chilli flakes, and saffron and sauté for 10 minutes, then stir in the garlic and sauté for another couple of minutes. 
  6. Add the tomatoes to the onion mixture, crushing them with a wooden spoon, then pour in the stock and add the potatoes.
  7. Season to taste and simmer for 25–30 minutes, until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a knife.
  8. Add the monkfish to the potato stew and simmer for another 5 minutes, until the fish is just cooked through and looks opaque. 
  9. Divide among hot bowls and sprinkle over the almond crumb, then scatter over the parsley to serve.

MacNean Organic Oats with Irish Mist and Honey @nevenmaguire

 
 


By Neven Maguire

Celebrity Chef

Porridge is one of our most popular breakfasts in the restaurant, and this recipe goes down a treat. On cold winter mornings, it gets you off to a good start and takes no more than 10 minutes to prepare.

Ingredients

  • 100 g (4oz) porridge oats (organic if possible)
  • 300 ml (1/2 pint) whole-fat milk (plus extra if necessary)
  • 4 dsp clear honey
  • 4 dsp irish mist
  • 150 ml (1/4 pint) cream (optional)

Method

  • Simmer the porridge oats and milk together in a saucepan for 8-10 minutes, until the mixture is slightly thickened, stirring all the time. It is important that the porridge has a nice soft dropping consistency so add a little more milk if you think that it needs it.
  • To serve, spoon the porridge into warmed bowls. Drizzle each one with some honey and Irish mist and finally, serve with cream if you wish.
