.@Anahaugh stuffed roast chicken breast & mushrooms @SaturdayKitchen
Anna Haugh’s meat feast medley combines sausagemeat stuffing, pancetta and chicken breast, all in one neat parcel.
Ingredients
For the potatoes
For the stuffed chicken
- 200g/7oz sausagemeat
- 1 large sprig parsley, finely chopped
- 50g/1¾oz hazelnuts, roughly chopped
- 4 skinless chicken breasts, sliced horizontally to create a pocket in the thickest part of the breast
- 12 slices smoked pancetta
- salt
For the mushroom sauce
- 100g/3½oz salted butter, plus extra to finish the sauce
- 1 garlic clove, roughly chopped
- 10 sage leaves
- 450g/1lb girolle mushrooms, cleaned
- 200ml/7fl oz chicken stock
Method
- Preheat the oven to 190C/170C Fan/Gas 5.
- Bring a pan of water to the boil, add the potatoes and cook for 10 minutes until par-boiled, not fully cooked through. Remove and allow to cool whilst you prepare the rest of the dish.
- Combine the sausagemeat, hazelnuts and parsley in a bowl and mix thoroughly.
- Divide the sausagemeat filling between the pockets in each chicken breast. Season the chicken with a pinch of salt and roll each chicken breast in 3 slices of pancetta. Place the chicken breasts on a baking tray and bake for 10–15 minutes, depending on the thickness of the breast. When the chicken is cooked through, remove from the oven and rest for 5 minutes.
- Grate the par-boiled potatoes on a box grater. Meanwhile, put a large frying pan over a medium-high heat. Add the olive oil, then the grated potato, garlic powder, onion powder and a pinch of salt and fry until golden.
- In a separate pan, melt the butter and add the garlic and sage leaves. Fry until the leaves are wilted, then add the mushrooms and a pinch of salt. Cook for 1–2 minutes until golden.
- Add the chicken stock and reduce to a sauce consistency. You can add an extra knob of butter to finish the sauce, if you like.
- To serve, place the fried potato on a serving plate. Carve the chicken and arrange on top, finishing with the mushroom sauce.

How to make pommes persillade (potatoes with parsley and garlic). #crispypotatoes
Photos by Jesse Szewczyk
Pommes persillade might sound fancy, but the homey side dish — a staple on bistro menus — is incredibly easy to make at home. Crispy potatoes with soft, tender centers are tossed in melted butter, minced garlic, and fresh parsley to create the ultimate side dish. It’s like the classic diner home fries you know and love, only elevated.
The trick to getting these potatoes super crispy is to boil them in salted water before pan-frying them. This does two things: It cooks the potatoes all the way through so they are perfectly tender, and it helps bring some of the potatoes’ gelatinized starches to the surface so the potatoes get nice and crispy. To do this, you’ll cover diced potatoes with cold water, bring to a boil, drain them, and let them dry on a sheet tray, where they’ll cool for at least 10 minutes to allow the excess water to evaporate. Then, fry them in a hot skillet to crisp them up.
Here, we’re garnishing the crispy spuds with shredded Parmesan cheese to amp up their savoriness, but you can leave it out and still end up with a delicious side dish. Serve them immediately to maintain their crispy texture and pair with your favorite protein for the ultimate weeknight dinner.
Pommes Persillade
Yield: Serves 6 to 8
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 25 minutes to 30 minutes
Ingredients
- 4 medium russet potatoes (about 1 1/2 pounds total)
- 1 tablespoon plus 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1/2 bunch fresh flat-leaf parsley
- 1 ounce Parmesan cheese, finely shredded (about 1/2 cup)
- 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
- Peel and cut 4 medium russet potatoes into 1-inch cubes. Place the potatoes in a large pot and add enough cold water to cover potatoes by 1 inch. Stir in 1 tablespoon of the kosher salt. Cover and bring to a boil over high heat. Uncover and reduce heat to low to maintain a gentle simmer. Cook until potatoes are easily pierced with a knife but not falling apart, 12 to 14 minutes. Meanwhile, line a baking sheet with paper towels.
- Drain the potatoes, then transfer onto a baking sheet and spread into a single layer. Pat the potatoes dry with more towels and let cool for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, mince 2 garlic cloves, coarsely chop the leaves from 1/2 bunch fresh parsley, and finely shred 1 ounce Parmesan cheese (about 1/2 cup). Microwave 4 tablespoons unsalted butter in a large microwave-safe bowl until melted, about 30 seconds. Add the garlic, parsley, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and the remaining 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt, and stir to combine. Set aside.
- Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a 10-inch cast iron or nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Working in batches if needed, add the potatoes and cook, stirring and flipping them often, until golden-brown and crisp on all sides, 10 to 12 minutes total. Transfer the potatoes into the bowl of garlic butter and toss to coat. Transfer into a serving bowl and garnish with the Parmesan.
Neven Maguire’s Salmon Burger with Roasted Red Pepper Salsa @RTEfood
Ingredients
- 550g (1¼lb) salmon fillet, skinned and boned (well chilled)
- 2 spring onions, thinly sliced
- Wasabi paste
- 2 tsp sesame seeds
- 1 tblsp seasoned flour
- 4 slices sourdough bread
- 4 Little Gem lettuce leaves
- Handful of fresh coriander sprigs
- Lime wedges, to serve
For the Roasted Red Pepper Salsa:
- 2 roasted red peppers, finely diced (from a jar is fine)
- 2 plum tomatoes, seeded and finely chopped
- Finely grated rind of 1 lemon
- 2 tblsp sweet chilli sauce
- 1 tblsp rapeseed oil
- 1 tblsp chopped fresh coriander
- 1 tblsp shredded fresh basil sea salt and freshly ground
- Black pepper
Method
- Using a sharp knife cut away any brown bits from the salmon fillet, then finely chop.
- Place in a bowl, then stir in the spring onions, mustard and sesame seeds. Season to taste.
- Divide into 4 portions, then using slightly wetted hands, shape into patties. Dust the patties in the flour, shaking off any excess. Place in the fridge for 10 minutes to firm up.
- Meanwhile, make the roasted red pepper salsa. Place the red peppers in a bowl and stir in the tomatoes, lemon rind, sweet chilli sauce, oil and herbs. Season to taste and set aside at room temperature to allow the flavours to develop.
- Heat a large non-stick frying pan over a medium heat. Add the olive oil to the frying pan and then add the salmon burgers. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, until lightly golden but still slightly pink in the centre. Be careful not to overcook them or they will quickly become dry. Set aside.
- Meanwhile, heat a griddle pan until smoking hot. Add the slices of sourdough bread and chargrill for 1-2 minutes on each side, until nicely marked.
- Arrange on warmed plates and top with Little Gem lettuce leaves and the burgers. Spoon over the roasted red pepper salsa, then scatter over the coriander sprigs and serve with lime wedges.

dunnesstores- This recipe for breakfast croissants from our brand ambassador @nevenmaguire is the perfect Mother’s Day weekend treat. Find the full recipe below and shop the ingredients in your local Dunnes Stores.
Ingredients
1 packet Simply Better French Made All Butter Croissants
1 packet Simply Better Italian Prosciutto Di Parma
6 Simply Better Irish Free Range Corn Fed Large Eggs
2 Tbsp. Simply Better Jersey Cream
1 Pack Simply Better West Cork Co-Op Extra Mature Drinagh Cheddar
2 Tsp. Finely Snipped Fresh Chives
Simply Better Oriel Sea Salt and Freshly Ground White Pepper
Simply Better Handmade Tomato Relish, to serve
Method
Preheat the oven to 190°C (375°F/Gas Mark 5). Place the croissants on a non-stick baking sheet and cook for 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and leave to cool.
Once the croissants are cooked, heat a non-stick frying pan over a medium heat. Add two slices of the prosciutto and cook for about 10 seconds on each side to just crisp up. Transfer to a plate while you cook the remainder.
Break the eggs into the frying pan over a low heat and add the cream and season with salt and pepper. Stir gently with a spatula, allowing large curds to develop. Switch off the heat while the eggs are still very soft as they will continue to cook.
Carve each croissant in half and add slices of the Cheddar on to each one and then place the slices of Prosciutto on top. Add spoonfuls of the softly scrambled eggs then top with the other half of the croissant. Arrange on plates and garnish with the chives and serve with some of the tomato relish.1d
