Ingredients

Serves: 4

Time: 35 minutes

  • 1.5ltrs good chicken stock
  • 2 inch piece of fresh ginger
  • 2 lemongrass stalks
  • 1 lime, juice and peeled zest
  • 2 – 4 Thai Birds Eye chillies – depending on your spice tolerance!
  • 50ml fish sauce, plus extra to season
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • pinch ground turmeric
  • 6 chicken thighs, cut into bite sized pieces
  • 500g cooked white rice
  • pinch white pepper
  • 2 tbsp light soy sauce
  • 1 red onion
  • Sesame oil, to serve
  • Handful of coriander leaves
  • Handful of mint

Method

  1. First, get the chicken stock into a pan. Slice half of the ginger, chilli and lemongrass and add to the pot. Peel the zest off a lime then bring to a boil, and season with the 25ml of the fish sauce. Turn down to a simmer whilst you prepare the rest of the dish.
  2. Finely chop the remaining ginger, chilli and lemongrass and place into a bowl. Grate in the garlic and add the remaining fish sauce. Chop the chicken thighs into inch pieces and add to the bowl along with a pinch of turmeric and mix everything together.
  3. Get a wok over a high heat and add the oil followed by the chicken pieces. Cook, stirring, until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through.
  4. Scoop the aromatics from the broth and discard then add the rice to the broth and warm through for at least 5 minutes.
  5. To finish, slice the red onion finely and season the broth with some white pepper, soy sauce, sesame oil, lime juice and some extra fish sauce if needed.
  6. Add the rice and broth to your bowls then top with the chicken, followed by the sliced onions. Garnish with extra sliced red chillies, if you can handle them!, and lots of coriander and mint.

  • katielewis4096When my brother got a new kitchen, he gave me an off cut of his wooden worktop which makes an ideal chopping board. So ask a kitchen fitter if they have any spare bits!

  • ☘️CRISPY Smashed Potatoes with Green Goddess Dip🍀 These were seriously addictive! I found all my ingredients at my local @dunnesstores. I love that they have such amazing quality Irish produce. It’s made all the difference in this recipe. Check out the full step by step below ⤵️

    ✨Ingredients
    2kg Rooster Potatoes (skins on)
    Drizzle olive oil

    Goddess Green Sauce
    1 avocado
    Handful fresh coriander
    Handful fresh parsley
    50g (1/3 cup) cashews
    1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
    80ml (1/3 cup) water
    1-2 cloves roasted garlic (better for little tummies)
    Juice 1/2 lime
    Season with black pepper

    Preheat oven to 180ºC.

    Boil the potatoes until cooked. They should be soft on the inside but not falling apart. Empty onto a baking tray lined with parchment. Cut a cross into each one, then smash using a glass or cup. Drizzle over a little olive oil, then roast for 25-30 minutes.

    To make the Goddess sauce, add all of the ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth.

    Serve the potatoes with fresh coriander leaves and dip!

    👶🏻 For Babies, cut the potatoes into wedges and roast without smashing. Remove from the oven before they turn crispy to keep them really safe.

Darina Allen’s Sea Spinach Soup @ballymaloecookeryschool

 

darina allen sea spinach soup

Sea Spinach Soup

Sea spinach is at its sweetest and most delicious at present…. I absolutely love it and really want you to know about it so if you live near a rocky strand, look out for it – the shiny green leaves are unmistakable. It is, in fact, the ancestor to most cultivated varieties of beet, from beetroot to spinach beet. It can be cooked exactly like garden spinach and used in the same way, for example, try serving it in Middle Eastern style with raisins and pine kernels and a touch of cinnamon. Not surprisingly, because sea spinach is washed by the tides, it is full of iodine, minerals and other trace elements and it has an addictive salty tang. Sea spinach is tougher and slightly stronger in flavour than garden spinach, so it takes a little longer to cook.

The trick with these green soups is not to add the greens until the last minute, otherwise they will overcook and the soup will lose its fresh taste and bright green colour.

50g (2oz/1/2 stick) butter

110g (4oz/1 cup) onion, chopped

150g (5oz/1 cup) potatoes, chopped

600ml (1 pint/2 1/2 cups) homemade chicken stock, vegetable stock or water

425-600ml (3/4-1 pint/2 – 2 1/2 cups) creamy milk (1/4 cream and 3/4 milk)

salt and freshly ground pepper

225-350g (8-12oz/3 cups) sea spinach, destalked and chopped

Freshly ground nutmeg

‍

Garnish

2 tablespoons (2 American tablespoons + 2 teaspoons) whipped cream (optional

Freshly chopped parsley

Melt the butter in a heavy-bottomed saucepan. When it foams add the onions and potatoes and turn them until well coated. Sprinkle with salt and freshly ground pepper. Cover and sweat on a gentle heat for 10 minutes. Add the boiling stock and milk, bring back to the boil and simmer until the potatoes and onions are fully cooked. Add the sea spinach and boil with the lid off for about 3-5 minutes, until the sea spinach is tender. Do not overcook or the soup will lose its fresh green colour.

Liquidise and taste and add some freshly grated nutmeg.  Serve in warm bowls garnished with a blob of whipped cream and some chopped parsley

    For Mums on Mother’s Day, it is so lovely for your little one to bring you up one of these in bed, served with fresh cream and strawberry jam. Mine always included their little homemade card and flower from our garden. It’s so simple but to them and me, it meant everything 💛

Neven Maguire’s Brown Scones are full of roughage and great for breakfast

Brown scones are full of roughage and great for breakfast. And here is a good tip: you can make this mixture, shape the scones and freeze them. You can then cook the scones straight from the freezer to the oven – just give them an extra 5 minutes and make sure the scones are golden brown and well-risen.

Ingredients

  • Rapeseed or sunflower oil, for greasing
  • 225g (8oz) self-raising flour, plus extra for dusting
  • 225g (8oz) coarse wholemeal flour
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 50g (2oz) wheat bran
  • 25g (1oz) butter, diced and at room temperature
  • 1 tsp light muscovado sugar
  • 300ml (½ pint) buttermilk, plus a little extra if necessary

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 220°C (425°F/gas mark 7). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper and grease the paper with a little oil.
  2. Sift the flours, baking soda and salt into a bowl. Tip in the bran left in the sieve and stir it in with the wheat bran. Rub in the butter with your fingertips until it is evenly dispersed. Stir in the sugar.
  3. Make a well in the centre of the dry ingredients and add the buttermilk and golden syrup. Using a large spoon, mix gently and quickly until you have achieved a smooth, not-too-sticky dough. Add a little more buttermilk if necessary, until the dough binds together without being sloppy.
  4. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to a 2.5cm (1in) thickness and cut into rounds with a 6cm (2½in) plain cutter. Arrange on the lined baking sheets and bake for 10-15 minutes, until golden brown and well-risen.
  5. Serve with butter or lightly whipped cream and strawberry jam.
