Spring Bread & Butter Pudding @KerrygoldUSA

Bread_and_Butter_Pudding__made_with_Kerrygold_Grass-Fed_Irish_Butter

Serves:  4-6

If you really want to show off to your guests, a gas gun or small propane torch can be used, with care, to glaze the top. If you don’t fancy using apricot jam as a glaze try marmalade or lemon curd instead. To make it even more delicious try making it with day-old croissants or brioche.

Ingredients:

  • 6 tbsp(3oz) Kerrygold Salted Butter, softened, extra for greasing
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 cup (8fl oz) milk
  • 1 cup (8fl oz) cream
  • finely grated rind and juice of 1 lemon
  • 1 vanilla pod, split and seeds scraped out
  • 6 tbsp caster sugar
  • 9oz sliced white bread (about 9 slices)
  • ½ cup (3oz) ready-to-eat dried prunes, finely chopped
  • ½ cup (3oz) sultanas or raisins
  • good pinch of freshly grated nutmeg
  • 4 tbsp apricot jam
  • pouring cream, to serve

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C), Gas mark 4 and lightly butter an ovenproof dish. Beat the eggs, milk and cream together in a large jug. Mix together the lemon rind and juice, vanilla seeds and sugar in a small bowl and then add to the egg mixture, beating lightly to combine.

Spread the slices of bread with the softened butter and cut off the crusts, then cut into triangles. Scatter half of the prunes and sultanas or raisins into the bottom of the buttered dish and arrange a layer of the bread triangles on top. Pour over half of the egg mixture, pressing it down gently, then repeat the layers with the remaining ingredients and sprinkle the nutmeg on top.

Place the dish into a large roasting tin and fill with warm water so that it comes three-quarters of the way up the dish. Carefully place in the oven and bake for 35-40 minutes until just set.

Remove the bread and butter pudding from the water bath to a wire rack. Heat the apricot jam in a small pan and then brush the top of the pudding.

To serve, cut the bread and butter pudding into slices and arrange on plates with the pouring cream.

·

Warm, spiced soup brightens up any chilly day. https://kerrygoldusa.com/recipes/ginger-turmeric-carrot-soup-with-curried-chickpeas/…

Meal type: starters
 Product: Kerrygold Salted Butter
 Serves: 6 cups

Ingredients

For Soup:

2 tablespoons Kerrygold

Salted Butter

1 cup chopped onion

3 1/2 cups peeled, chopped carrots

2 teaspoons minced garlic

3 tablespoons minced fresh ginger

2 1/2 cups low-sodium vegetable broth

1 (14oz) can coconut milk

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon pepper

1 1/2 teaspoons ground turmeric

Curried chickpeas

Chopped fresh cilantro

For Curried Chickpeas:

1 (14oz) can chickpeas, drained

1 tablespoon olive oil

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon curry powder

1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

Instructions:

For Soup:

  1. Melt Kerrygold Salted Butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and carrots and cook until onions are translucent (about 5 minutes).
  2. Stir in garlic and ginger and cook for another minute.
  3. Stir in remaining soup ingredients and stir to combine. Allow soup to come to a boil and then reduce heat to medium low and cover.
  4. Cook for 35-40 minutes or until carrots are fork tender. Allow to cool slightly.
  5. Transfer soup to a blender in batches and puree until smooth (tip: be careful to only fill the blender jar to about 1/3 – 1/2 full. Secure the lid on the top and hold a dish towel over it to prevent the top from coming off during blending).
  6. Season soup to taste with additional salt and pepper, if needed.
  7. Top with curried chickpeas and fresh cilantro.

For Curried Chickpeas:

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  2. Place drained chickpeas on a dish towel. Carefully blot them dry with another dish towel (the drier the chickpeas, the more they will crisp up in the oven). Discard and papery skins from the chickpeas.
  3. Pour chickpeas onto a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and salt and gently stir them around so they are coated on all sides. Bake for 25 minutes.
  4. Remove pan from oven. Sprinkle chickpeas with curry, cumin and pepper. Stir to coat. Return pan to oven and cook for another 10-15 minutes or until chickpeas are crisp

NOTE: Roasted chickpeas will lose their crispness when stored. They are best enjoyed immediately after baking.
