Gratin of haddock with Imokilly cheddar and mustard by Rachel Allen

fish-gratin_0

Serves six.

You will need:

6 x 175g (6oz) pieces of haddock

Salt and freshly ground black pepper

225g (8oz) Irish mature Cheddar cheese, grated

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

4 tablespoons cream

Ovenproof dish 8½ x 10 in (21.5 x 25.5cm)

Pre-heat the oven to 180°C, 350°F, Gas 4.

First season the haddock pieces with the salt and freshly ground black pepper. Arrange the fillets in a single layer in the ovenproof dish (it should be a dish that is posh enough to bring to the table). Mix the grated Cheddar cheese together with the Dijon mustard and the cream and spread carefully over the fish.

The fish can be prepared ahead and refrigerated at this point. It will keep in the fridge for a day.

To cook, place in the pre-heated oven for about 20 minutes or until the fish is cooked and the top is golden and bubbly. If the fish is cooked but the top is not yet golden, place under a hot grill for just a few moments to colour the cheese.

Macroom oatmeal with peaches & pomegranate

Macroom-Oatmeal

1 Serving

It’s wonderful on its own with a pinch of salt or with some fruit and honey. Use whatever fruit is good, ripe and in season. In winter, homemade jam is a perfect addition to porridge

 

Ingredients checklist
 1 tsp of water
 1½ teacups of milk
 a good pinch of sea salt
 ½ teacup of Macroom Oatmeal 
 soft brown sugar (optional)
Instructions
1.Put all the ingredients except the sugar into a saucepan on a medium heat and stir continuously. The oats will absorb the liquid very fast, so be careful not to let the mixture stick to the bottom.

2. After about 5 or 6 minutes, when the oatmeal has softened and is at the consistency of porridge, transfer to a bowl and sprinkle with a little bit of brown sugar if desired.

 

With saturn peaches, pomegranate and raw honey

3.Follow the same recipe as above, but use just a tiny pinch of sea salt. When you have transferred the oatmeal to your bowl, arrange some slices of good ripe Saturn peaches (also called doughnut peaches) in the middle, sprinkle a few pomegranate seeds over and drizzle generously with good-quality raw honey. Orange blossom or wildflower varieties work really well.
