Ingredients
Give this classic Italian dessert a twist with a delicate creamy vanilla flavour and a fresh strawberry topping. It’s the perfect dessert for a chilled summer gathering. If you want to make it less rich, simply replace 200ml of the cream with milk.
Serves 4
- 1 vanilla pod
- 3 sheets gelatine 600ml cream 100g caster sugar
- 300g large strawberries (preferably Pat Clarke’s)
- ½ lemon
- 2–3 tsp icing sugar, to taste
Method
- To make the panna cotta, split the vanilla pod in half and scrape out the seeds . Put the gelatine sheets into a bowl of cold water and leave them to soak for 5 minutes . Put the cream, caster sugar and vanilla seeds into a pan, and slowly bring up to the boil, whisking continuously . Take the pan off the heat . Take
- the gelatine out of the water, gently squeeze out the excess water and add to the cream mixture, whisking continuously until it has dissolved . Strain the mixture through a sieve into a measuring jug .
- Divide the mixture equally between 4 x 200ml dariole moulds or ramekins, place them on a baking tray and leave them to set in the fridge for at least 3 hours or up to 2 days .
- Choose the 4 nicest strawberries for decoration, then cut them in half with the stems intact . Remove the stalks from the remainder, then add to a blender with a squeeze of lemon juice and icing sugar to taste – the amount will depend on how sweet the strawberries are . Blitz to a smooth purée, then pass through a sieve into a jug .
- To serve, leave at room temperature for 15 minutes, then turn each panna cotta upside down on to a serving plate . If it won’t drop out, carefully dip the mould briefly into a bowl of warm water to loosen it . Serve with a drizzle of the strawberry compote and the sliced fresh strawberries .
Serve after …
Panna cotta is a brilliant stand-by dessert because it’s quick and simple enough to make in the morning . I leave it to set in the fridge and serve after Fragrant Butterflied Lamb (p .69) with a large bowl of the best strawberries in Ireland . Pat Clarke has been delivering me strawberries for years, and their flavour is sensational.

dunnesstores- This recipe for breakfast croissants from our brand ambassador @nevenmaguire is the perfect Mother’s Day weekend treat. Find the full recipe below and shop the ingredients in your local Dunnes Stores.
Ingredients
1 packet Simply Better French Made All Butter Croissants
1 packet Simply Better Italian Prosciutto Di Parma
6 Simply Better Irish Free Range Corn Fed Large Eggs
2 Tbsp. Simply Better Jersey Cream
1 Pack Simply Better West Cork Co-Op Extra Mature Drinagh Cheddar
2 Tsp. Finely Snipped Fresh Chives
Simply Better Oriel Sea Salt and Freshly Ground White Pepper
Simply Better Handmade Tomato Relish, to serve
Method
Preheat the oven to 190°C (375°F/Gas Mark 5). Place the croissants on a non-stick baking sheet and cook for 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and leave to cool.
Once the croissants are cooked, heat a non-stick frying pan over a medium heat. Add two slices of the prosciutto and cook for about 10 seconds on each side to just crisp up. Transfer to a plate while you cook the remainder.
Break the eggs into the frying pan over a low heat and add the cream and season with salt and pepper. Stir gently with a spatula, allowing large curds to develop. Switch off the heat while the eggs are still very soft as they will continue to cook.
Carve each croissant in half and add slices of the Cheddar on to each one and then place the slices of Prosciutto on top. Add spoonfuls of the softly scrambled eggs then top with the other half of the croissant. Arrange on plates and garnish with the chives and serve with some of the tomato relish.1d

Bangers & Cheesy Mash with Caramelised Red Onion Gravy
Ingredients (Serves 4)
2 Packs Simply Better Irish Pork Spring Onion & Black Pepper Sausages
2 Tubs Simply Better Irish Made Beef Gravy
3 Tbsp. Simply Better Handmade Caramelised Red Onion Relish
1 Tbsp. Simply Better Italian Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 Tbsp. Simply Better Italian Balsamic Vinegar
Steamed Greens, to serve
Cheesy Mash
100g Simply Better West Cork Co-Op Extra Mature Drinagh Cheddar, grated
750g Rooster Potatoes, cut into chunks
75g Butter
Method
1. Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F/Gas Mark 6). Place the sausages on a baking tray lined with parchment paper, drizzle with the olive oil and cook in the oven for 25 minutes, turning halfway through cooking to ensure they are golden brown on all sides.
2. To make the mash, put the potatoes in a pot of cold salted water. Cover and bring to the boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes, until tender. Drain the potatoes and return to the pot over a low heat for 1-2 minutes to remove as much moisture as possible. Remove the pot from the heat, then mash with a potato masher or pass through a potato ricer until smooth. Beat in the cheese and butter and season to taste.
3. To make the gravy, heat the gravy in a saucepan over a medium heat, whisk in the caramelised red onion relish and balsamic vinegar and simmer for 2-3 minutes.
4. To serve, place a large spoonful of mash in the centre of a plate or serving bowl. Top with 3 of the roasted sausages and pour over the onion gravy. Serve with some of the steamed greens.

Neven Maguire’s Ham, Cheese and Egg Crêpes with Griddled Asparagus – perfect tea for lots of hungry children
More From
Neven Maguire: Home Chef
Neven Maguire: Home Chef
Ingredients
- 24 asparagus spears
- 8 eggs
- 450 g swiss cheese, such as gruyère or emmental (thinly sliced)
- 8 slices of cooked ham
- 1 tblsp olive oil
- Crêpes:
- 100 g plain flour
- 1 egg
- 300 ml milk
- sunflower oil (for frying)
- sea salt
- black pepper (freshly ground)
Method
- Sift the flour and a pinch of salt into a bowl and make a well in the centre. Add the egg and whisk well with a balloon whisk.
- Gradually beat in the milk, drawing in the flour from the sides to make a smooth batter. Leave to rest for 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, trim the asparagus spears and blanch in a pan of boiling water for 1–2 minutes, until almost tender but still with a slight bite.
- Drain and refresh under cold running water to prevent them from cooking any further and set aside until needed.
- Heat a little oil in an 18cm (7in) heavy-based pancake or frying pan. Pour in just enough batter to thinly coat the base of the pan.
- Cook over a moderately high heat for about 1 minute, until golden brown. Turn or toss the crêpe and break in an egg, then gently whisk to spread it evenly all over the crêpe.
- Season to taste.
