Fluffy Banana Oatmeal Pancakes @kerrygold #Ireland 🇮🇪 😋

Pour, flip, stack and savor the morning moments.

INGREDIENTS

1 ½ cup old fashioned rolled oats

2 ½ cups unbleached all purpose flour

½ cup brown sugar

2 tablespoons baking powder

1 teaspoon kosher salt

½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 ripe banana

2 large eggs

2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

3 ¼ cups whole milk

8 tablespoons Irish Butter with Olive Oil plus more for the pan and serving

Instructions

  1. Place the rolled oats in a blender, and process until they resemble coarse flour. 
  2. In a medium size mixing bowl, combine the processed oats, all purpose flour, brown sugar, baking powder, kosher salt, and ground cinnamon. Whisk to combine well.
  3. In a second large mixing bowl, add the ripe banana and use a fork to mash it very well. Next, add the eggs, vanilla extract, and milk. Whisk very well to incorporate the eggs and banana into the milk.
  4. Pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, and then stream in the melted butter. Whisk until just combined. It’s okay if there are still a few lumps.
  5. Preheat a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of Kerrygold Butter with Olive Oil to melt and coat the bottom of the pan. 
  6. Pour in ¼ cup of the pancake batter into the heated pan for each pancake. Cook for 2 minutes, and when bubbles begin to form and pop on the surface of the pancake, flip, and cook for another 1-2 minutes. Repeat with the remaining pancake batter.
  7. The pancakes can be kept warm in a 200 degree F oven on a metal rack lined baking sheet. Serve the pancakes with sliced bananas, more butter, maple syrup, and a sprinkle of ground cinnamon.

Unveiling the forced rhubarb.

Our students have been checking on the forced rhubarb, carefully grown in the dark to produce these tender, vibrant pink stems.

Forcing rhubarb encourages the plant to grow without photosynthesis, resulting in a sweeter flavour and delicate texture—perfect for everything from crumbles to compotes.

A true seasonal treat.

Rachel Allen’s Broccoli Soup with Dubliner Cheese Toasts @KerrygoldUSA #ballymaloe

video-broccoli

I adore this delicious and nutritious soup. It’s great either for family suppers or for a dinner party. The soup can be frozen and the Dubliner toasts prepared in advance, then grilled at the last moment. Ideal if you need a meal in an instant. Rachel Allen

Ingredients:
  • THE SOUP:
  • 2 tbsp Kerrygold Salted Butter
  • 2 potatoes, peeled and finely chopped
  • 1 large onion, peeled and chopped
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 head of broccoli, with stalk
  • 3 1/2–4 1/4 cup hot vegetable (or chicken) stock
  • 3/4 cup heavy cream
  • THE DUBLINER TOASTS:
  • 8 slices good-quality white bread
  • 3 oz Dubliner Cheese, finely grated
Directions:

 

Melt the butter in a medium to large saucepan, and add the potatoes and onion, salt and pepper. Cover with a piece of wax paper and sweat over a gentle heat for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, cut the broccoli florets from the stalk. Using a small knife, remove the outer layer of skin from the stalk and discard, then chop the stalk into 1/2-inch pieces. Add to the onion and potato, cover and sweat for a further 5 minutes.  Add the hot stock to the potatoes, onion and broccoli stalk, bring up to a boil, then add the chopped broccoli florets. Boil without the lid over a high heat for 4–5 minutes until soft, then add the cream. Remove from the heat, puree in a blender and season to taste.To make the Dubliner toasts, toast the bread on both sides, sprinkle with grated Dubliner Cheese and pop under a hot grill or into a hot oven for 2 minutes or until the cheese melts. Cut the toast into fingers and serve on the side with the soup.

This Cucumber-Avocado-Tomato Sandwich Has 20 Grams of Protein – from EatingWell. A Light and Easy Lunch

This tomato, cucumber and avocado sandwich is the perfect light and easy lunch. With just a few fresh ingredients, you can have a satisfying meal in just 10 minutes. Creamy avocado and hummus provide plant-based protein and healthy fats, while juicy tomatoes and crisp cucumbers bring refreshing crunch and flavor. Layer it all on whole-grain bread for an extra boost of fiber, and you’ve got a quick and wholesome sandwich at the ready!

Refreshing, light and satisfying, our Cucumber-Avocado-Tomato Sandwich is an easy and delicious lunch that will really hit the spot. Every sandwich starts with and needs a good condiment. For this one, we amplify store-bought hummus with the sweet tang of honey mustard and fresh dill for a hit of herby brightness. Then we stack on the fiber-packed veggies: cucumbers and onions give a nice crunch and contrast to the creamy, heart-healthy avocado and the juicy tomato; the alfalfa sprouts add great texture. Cheddar cheese adds bone-boosting calcium and a salty, sharp flavor that complements the fresh veggies perfectly, and hearty toasted whole-wheat bread is the perfect vessel for all these wholesome toppings. Keep reading for our expert tips, including recommendations on swapping out hummus flavors. 

Tips from the EatingWell Test Kitchen

These are the key tips we learned while developing and testing this recipe in our Test Kitchen to make sure it works, tastes great and is good for you too! 

  • Experiment with different flavors of hummus for your spread. Try garlic hummus, dill pickle hummus or even make your own. To prepare a batch of our Classic Hummus, use a food processor and add a handful of ingredients: garlic, chickpeas, lemon juice, olive oil, tahini and salt. Best of all, this flavor-spiked hummus takes just 10 minutes to make!
  • While a chef’s knife can cut cucumbers, a serrated knife is more effective for slicing tomatoes. The serrated edge easily cuts through the skin and flesh without damaging the soft interior.

Nutrition Notes

  • Cucumbers aren’t brimming with the typical vitamins and minerals that you’ll find in many fruits and vegetables, but they are an important vegetable because they contain antioxidant phytonutrients that can help protect against inflammation. They are also more than 95% water, which makes them a hydrating vegetable—great for your skin. 
  • Avocados are known for being high in fat, but it’s the type of fat that your heart loves: monounsaturated fat. Avocados are also brimming with fiber, which has been shown to improve the health of the microbiome, and impacts your health in many ways, including strengthening your immune system, improving cognition and lowering inflammation. 
  • There are few things tastier than a really good tomato, and they are really good for you. Tomatoes are high in vitamin C, which is essential for healthy immune function. They are also high in a carotenoid called lycopene, an antioxidant that helps maintain healthy cells throughout the body, and eating foods with lycopene regularly can help lower your risk of heart disease. 
  • Whole-wheat bread is a heartier choice of bread for this sandwich and you’ll get the benefit of more nutrients and more fiber. Eating more fiber can lead to better digestive health. Whole-wheat bread is also a source of important B vitamins—essential for your working metabolism.

Ingredients

  • ¼ cup plain hummus
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill
  • 1½ teaspoons honey mustard
  • 2 thin slices whole-wheat bread, toasted
  • 1 (1-ounce) slice sharp Cheddar cheese
  • ½ small tomato, thinly sliced
  • ¼ medium avocado, thinly sliced
  • ¼ cup alfalfa sprouts
  • ¼ cup thinly sliced English cucumber
  • 1 tablespoon thinly sliced red onion
  • Pinch of salt

Directions

  1. Stir ¼ cup hummus, 1 tablespoon dill and 1½ teaspoons honey mustard together in a small bowl until well combined. Spread the hummus mixture on 1 side of each of 2 toast slices. Layer 1 cheese slice, tomato slices, avocado slices, ¼ cup alfalfa sprouts, ¼ cup cucumber and 1 tablespoon red onion over the hummus on 1 toast slice; sprinkle with salt. Top with the remaining toast slice, hummus-side down. Cut the sandwich in half diagonally.
