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.

 

Cherry Almond Galette @KerrygoldUSA #foodaware

A classic combo, with a crunch. This Cherry Almond Galette is a must try. kerrygoldusa.com/grazings/cherr

Ingredients For the pie dough

1-1/4 cups (175 gm) all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon sugar

½ teaspoon salt

½ cup (113 gm) cold

Unsalted Butter

¼ cup ice water

For the filling

¾ cup (90 gm) almond meal

½ cup (100 gm) sugar, divided

1 teaspoon vanilla

1 large egg, beaten

4 cups (1-1/4 lbs) stemmed, pitted, and halved cherries

1-1/2 tablespoons cornstarch 1 tablespoon Grand Marnier or bourbon

1 teaspoon orange zest, optional

1 tablespoon turbinado sugar, optional

2 tablespoons sliced almonds, optional

To prepare the dough:

  1. Combine the flour, sugar, and salt in a large bowl. Use a pastry cutter to cut the Kerrygold butter into the dry ingredients until they are reduced to pea-sized clumps.
  2. The remainder of the mixture should look like a sandy consistency. Pour in the ice water and use the pastry cutter or a large fork to bring the dough together into a shaggy mixture.
  3. Then dump the contents of the bowl out onto a clean counter and work it into a ball of dough. Do not overwork the mixture.
  4. Flatten out the ball into a disk and wrap in plastic wrap.
  5. Place in the fridge to chill for at least two hours and up to a week.

To prepare the galette:

  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
  2. Place a piece of parchment paper on a sheet pan.
  3. Combine the almond meal, ¼ cup sugar, vanilla, and half of the beaten egg in a small bowl into a pasty consistency.
  4. In a separate bowl, combine the cherries, remaining ¼ cup sugar, cornstarch, booze, and zest. Set aside.
  5. Use a floured rolling pin to roll the dough out onto a floured surface into a 12” circle.
  6. Spread the almond mixture in the center of the circle, leaving a 2” border around the perimeter of the circle.
  7. Dump the cherry mixture on top of the almond filling. Fold the edges of the pie dough up and over the cherries, gently pressing the dough to seal on top of itself as you fold.
  8. Use a pastry brush to brush a thin layer of the remaining beaten egg on top of the dough.
  9. Sprinkle the dough with the turbinado sugar and sliced almonds.
  10. Bake in the preheated oven for about 40-45 minutes or until the crust is golden and the filling is bubbling.
  11. If you notice you crust is getting dark and the inside juices aren’t bubbling at all you can make a little aluminum foil shield to cover the dough around the perimeter of your galette.
  12. Allow to cool and set prior to slicing and serving with ice cream!

CHERRY ALMOND GALETTE

Fluffy Banana Oatmeal Pancakes @kerrygoldusa 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.

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.
