Kerrygold Rustic Raspberry Tart #foodaware
Serves:
4 to 6 servings
Sweetened fresh raspberries make a wonderful filling, but the star of this dessert is the buttery, flaky crust baked with all-natural Kerrygold Butter. It holds the fruit and creates a delicate tart that begs to be placed next to a scoop of vanilla ice cream and enjoyed with loved ones after a delicious meal.
Ingredients:
- Crust:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 6 tablespoons cold Unsalted Kerrygold Pure Irish Butter, cut in 1/2 inch chunks
- 1 large egg yolk (reserve white)
- 3 to 5 teaspoons ice water
- Filling:
- 2 cups raspberries
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
Directions:
To Make Crust:
Heat oven to 425° F. In food processor, whirl together flour and salt. Add Kerrygold Pure Irish Butter to processor, pulsing just until mixture resembles coarse meal. Add egg yolk and water, 1 teaspoon at a time; process just until dough clumps together and begins to form a ball. Set 2 pieces (each about 12 by 15 inches) plastic wrap on work surface. Lightly dust each with flour. Gather dough and press into a flat disk about 6 inches wide. Set disk in center of 1 piece of wrap. Set remaining plastic wrap, floured-side down on dough. With rolling pin, roll dough evenly into about an 11 to 12 inch round; occasionally turn round over, lift wrinkled plastic wrap, pull smooth and replace; continue rolling as needed.
To Fill Tart:
Peel off top sheet of wrap and invert onto 2 by 15 inch baking sheet lined with cooking parchment. Remove remaining plastic wrap. Distribute berries in center of pastry, leaving about a 2-inch border. In small bowl, mix sugar and cornstarch. Sprinkle 3 tablespoons mixture evenly over fruit. Gently fold edges of pastry over berries, pleating edges to fit; leave an opening of 4 to 6 inches wide in center. Brush pastry with reserved egg white from crust. Sprinkle pastry lightly with remaining sugar mixture.
Bake tart on the bottom rack of the 425° F oven until crust is golden on bottom and juices bubble, 25 to 30 minutes. Cool on pan at least 15 minutes. While still warm, with wide spatula loosen tart from pan especially where juices have leaked out. Transfer to serving platter and serve warm or cool. Cut in wedges. Dust with powdered sugar, if desired. Serve with vanilla ice cream or lightly sweetened, softly whipped cream.

Baked eggs with tomatoes, chorizo, chilli and cheese
Preheat the oven to 180°C, 350°F, Gas 4. Put a frying pan on a medium-low heat, add the olive oil then add the skinned, chopped tomatoes, see my tip, above left. Season with a good pinch of salt and cook for about 15 minutes, until the tomato sauce is thick and viscous.
Remove from the heat, stir in the chopped parsley and the crushed chilli peppers. Divide the tomato sauce between four ovenproof ramekins and break 2 eggs into each dish. Place a slice of the chorizo on top of each egg and divide the grated manchego or Parmesan cheese, whichever you’re using, between the ramekins.
Place in the preheated oven and bake for 10-15 minutes, until the whites are set, but the yolks are just ever so slightly soft. Just before the eggs are ready, toast the slices of bread and butter them.
Remove the eggs from the oven and serve with the buttered toast.
Spring Bread & Butter Pudding @KerrygoldUSA
Serves: 4-6
If you really want to show off to your guests, a gas gun or small propane torch can be used, with care, to glaze the top. If you don’t fancy using apricot jam as a glaze try marmalade or lemon curd instead. To make it even more delicious try making it with day-old croissants or brioche.
Ingredients:
- 6 tbsp(3oz) Kerrygold Salted Butter, softened, extra for greasing
- 4 eggs
- 1 cup (8fl oz) milk
- 1 cup (8fl oz) cream
- finely grated rind and juice of 1 lemon
- 1 vanilla pod, split and seeds scraped out
- 6 tbsp caster sugar
- 9oz sliced white bread (about 9 slices)
- ½ cup (3oz) ready-to-eat dried prunes, finely chopped
- ½ cup (3oz) sultanas or raisins
- good pinch of freshly grated nutmeg
- 4 tbsp apricot jam
- pouring cream, to serve
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C), Gas mark 4 and lightly butter an ovenproof dish. Beat the eggs, milk and cream together in a large jug. Mix together the lemon rind and juice, vanilla seeds and sugar in a small bowl and then add to the egg mixture, beating lightly to combine.
Spread the slices of bread with the softened butter and cut off the crusts, then cut into triangles. Scatter half of the prunes and sultanas or raisins into the bottom of the buttered dish and arrange a layer of the bread triangles on top. Pour over half of the egg mixture, pressing it down gently, then repeat the layers with the remaining ingredients and sprinkle the nutmeg on top.
Place the dish into a large roasting tin and fill with warm water so that it comes three-quarters of the way up the dish. Carefully place in the oven and bake for 35-40 minutes until just set.
Remove the bread and butter pudding from the water bath to a wire rack. Heat the apricot jam in a small pan and then brush the top of the pudding.
To serve, cut the bread and butter pudding into slices and arrange on plates with the pouring cream.

Crispy Whiting with Dill Mayonnaise @BordBia
Of course this recipe could also be made into goujons (long pieces about the size of your finger), which are always a winner with children. Then simply cook for 1-2 minutes on each side.
Serves 4
Ingredients
- 4 x175g skinless and boneless whiting fillets
- 2 eggs
- salt and pepper
- 200g fresh white breadcrumbs
- 25g plain flour
- 1 tablesp. olive oil
- 25g butter
- 4 tablesp. Mayonnaise
- 1 teasp. chopped fresh dill
To Cook
Heat a large frying pan. Season the flour on a plate. Lightly beat the eggs in a shallow dish with a pinch of salt and put the breadcrumbs in a separate shallow dish. Lightly dust the whiting fillets in the seasoned flour and then dip in the beaten egg, shaking off any excess. Coat in the breadcrumbs.
Add the olive oil and butter to the frying pan and cook the coated whiting fillets for 2-3 minutes on each side until crisp and golden brown. The exact time will depend on the thickness of the fillets.
Meanwhile, mix the mayonnaise with the dill and season to taste. Arrange the crispy whiting on warmed plates with the dill mayonnaise and some garden peas to serve.
Serving Suggestions
Garden peas
Tips
Small dipping bowls of soured cream or crème fraiche topped with a little sweet chilli sauce or even a simple tomato salsa would also be an excellent accompaniment for the crispy whiting.Other fish you could use: Hake or haddock fillets
