Spicy Barbecue Chicken @ClevelandClinic #foodaware

Instead of using pre-packaged barbecue sauce, which often contains high fructose corn syrup and tends to be very high in sodium, this recipe calls for more natural sources of sugar, including honey and molasses, and no added salt. With plenty of flavor in healthy ingredients, garlic is also good for your heart, while cayenne pepper and ginger provide anti-inflammatory protection.

Ingredients

  • 5 tablespoons (3 ounces) tomato paste
  • 1 teaspoon ketchup
  • 2 teaspoons honey
  • 1 teaspoon molasses
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 4 teaspoons white vinegar
  • 3/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/8 teaspoon ginger, grated
  • 1 1/2 pounds chicken (breasts, drumsticks), skinless

Directions

  1. Combine all ingredients except chicken in a saucepan.
  2. Simmer for 15 minutes.
  3. Wash chicken and pat dry. Place on large platter and brush with half of sauce mixture.
  4. Cover with plastic wrap and marinate in refrigerator for 1 hour.
  5. Place chicken on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil and broil for 10 minutes on each side to seal in juices.
  6. Turn oven to 350 F and add remaining sauce to chicken. Cover chicken with aluminum foil and continue baking for 30 minutes.

Kerrygold Rhubarb & Strawberry Sponge Pudding

Rhubarb_and_Strawberry_Sponge_Pudding_made_with_Kerrygold_Grass-Fed_Butter

This traditional sponge pudding is excellent comfort food and is on most people’s list of favorite childhood desserts. It can be baked before dinner and then left at room temperature until needed. Pop back into the oven to warm through to serve.

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups (10oz) fresh rhubarb stalks, trimmed and cut into chunks
  • 2 cups(8oz) large strawberries, hulled and quartered
  • 1 ½ cups (10oz) caster sugar
  • 1 piece stem ginger in syrup, drained and finely chopped (optional)
  • 1 cup (6oz) plain flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 12 tbsp (6oz) Kerrygold Salted Butter, at room temperature
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • warm custard, to serve

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C), Gas mark 4. Arrange the rhubarb and strawberries in a 9in (23cm) deep-dish pie plate and sprinkle over ½ cup (4oz) (100g) of the sugar and the stem ginger, if using.

Sift the flour into a bowl with the baking powder. Place the butter in a separate bowl with the remaining sugar and beat with a hand-held mixer until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs and vanilla extract and then fold in the flour mixture.

Carefully spread the cake mixture over the fruit and bake for about 40 minutes or until the sponge is well risen and golden and an inserted skewer comes out clean.

To serve, spoon the rhubarb and strawberry sponge pudding into warmed bowls and pour over some custard.
