Auntie Maureen’s Plum Pudding by Neven Maguire @macneanhouse Co.Cavan 😋🇮🇪
Makes 2x 1.2 litre (2 pint) puddings
Nothing beats the flavour of homemade Christmas pudding, but it’s important to get good-quality fruit and it’s best made at least 1 month in advance.
I love plum pudding, hot or cold, with lashings of cream, but the spiked almond custard is even more special. I always look forward to it. A big thank you to Auntie Maureen for this recipe.
Ingredients
- 50g (2oz) plain flour
- 1/2 tsp ground mixed spice
- 1/2 tsp ground cloves
- 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
- 225g (8oz) sultanas
- 175g (6oz) butter, melted, plus extra for greasing
- 175g (6oz) fresh white breadcrumbs
- 175g (6oz) light brown sugar
- 175g (6oz) raisins
- 50g (2oz) currants
- 50g (2oz) candied mixed peel
- 50g (2oz) blanched almonds, hopped
- 1/2 eating apple, peeled, cored and diced
- 1/2 small carrot, grated finely grated rind and juice of
- 1 lemon
- 2 eggs, lightly beaten
- 300ml (1/2 pint) stout
- fresh redcurrant sprigs, to decorate (optional)
- icing sugar, to decorate (optional)
- spiked almond custard, to serve
Method
- Sift together the flour, mixed spice, cloves and nutmeg. Add the sultanas, melted butter, breadcrumbs, sugar, raisins, currants, mixed peel, almonds, apple, carrot and the lemon rind and juice and mix until well combined. Gradually add the beaten eggs, stirring constantly, followed by the stout. Mix everything together thoroughly and cover with a clean tea towel, then leave in a cool place overnight.
- Use the fruit mixture to fill 2 x 1.2 litre (2 pint) greased pudding bowls. Cover with a double thickness of greaseproof paper and tin foil, then tie tightly under the rim with string. Store in a cool, dry place overnight.
- To cook, preheat the oven to 150°C (300°F/gas mark 2).
- Stand each pudding basin in a large cake tin three-quarters full of boiling water, then cook in the oven for 6–8 hours (or you can steam them for 6 hours in the usual way). Cool and re-cover with clean greaseproof paper. Again, store in a cool, dry place.
- On Christmas Day, re-cover with greaseproof paper and foil. Steam for 2–3 hours, until completely cooked through and tender. Decorate with the redcurrant sprigs and a light dusting of icing sugar, if liked.
- To serve, cut the plum pudding into slices and arrange on serving plates. Have a separate jug of the spiked almond custard so that everyone can help themselves.

Neven Maguire’s Apple Tart with Custard recipe @bordbia
From The Nation’s Favourite Food by Neven Maguire
Ingredients
Pastry
- 225g plain flour, extra for dusting
- 2 tbsp icing sugar
- 100g butter, diced and chilled
- 2 large egg yolks
- 2-3 tbps ice-cold water
Filling
- 900g Bramley cooking apples
- 100g caster sugar
- ¼ tsp ground cinnamon
- Good pinch ground cloves/4 whole cloves
- 1 tbsp milk
Custard
- 5 egg yolks
- 3 tbsp caster sugar
- ½ vanilla pod, split in half and seeds scraped out
- 300ml milk
- 100ml cream
To Cook
To make the pastry: Sift the flour and icing sugar into a bowl. Using a round-bladed knife or the tips of your fingers, work in the butter and then mix in the egg yolks. Add the ice-cold water until the dough just comes together. Wrap in cling film and chill for at least 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 190°C (375°F/gas mark 5). Lightly dust the work surface with flour.
Divide the pastry into 2 portions, one slightly larger than the other, then roll out the larger piece until it is about 30cm in diameter. Use to line a 20cm pie dish or a 23cm flat plate, gently pressing into the corners. Trim the edges with a knife and reserve the excess for decorating. Place back in the fridge to chill while you prepare the apples.
Peel, core and slice the apples. Place in a large bowl with all but 1 tablespoon of the caster sugar. Add the cinnamon and cloves and mix together. Brush the edge of the pastry with a little milk and then pile the apples into the lined pie dish. Roll out the second piece of pastry into a circle slightly larger than the pie dish and use to cover the apples. Press the edges together to seal, then use a sharp knife to cut away any excess.
Crimp the edges of the tart with a round-bladed knife, using your fingers as a guide. If you wish roll out the pastry scraps and cut into leaf shapes. Brush the shapes with milk and stick on top of the pie. Brush the entire top of the pastry with milk and sprinkle over the remaining 1 tablespoon of sugar. Bake for 25-30 minutes, then reduce the oven to 180°C (350°F/gas mark 4) and bake for another 20-25 minutes, until golden brown.
Meanwhile, to make the custard, place the egg yolks in a large bowl with the sugar and vanilla seeds. Whisk with an electric mixer for a few minutes, until pale and thickened.
Place the milk and cream in a medium pan and bring to the boil, then immediately remove from the heat. Gradually whisk the heated milk and cream into the egg yolk mixture until smooth, then pour back into the pan and place over a gently heat. Cook gently for 6-8 minutes on a medium heat, stirring constantly, until the custard coats the back of a wooden spoon. Keep warm.
Serving Suggestions
To serve, cut the warm apple tart into slices and arrange on warmed serving places with some of the custard. Pour the remaining custard into a jug and hand around separately.

Neven Maguire’s Salmon Burger with Roasted Red Pepper Salsa @RTEfood
Ingredients
- 550g (1¼lb) salmon fillet, skinned and boned (well chilled)
- 2 spring onions, thinly sliced
- Wasabi paste
- 2 tsp sesame seeds
- 1 tblsp seasoned flour
- 4 slices sourdough bread
- 4 Little Gem lettuce leaves
- Handful of fresh coriander sprigs
- Lime wedges, to serve
For the Roasted Red Pepper Salsa:
- 2 roasted red peppers, finely diced (from a jar is fine)
- 2 plum tomatoes, seeded and finely chopped
- Finely grated rind of 1 lemon
- 2 tblsp sweet chilli sauce
- 1 tblsp rapeseed oil
- 1 tblsp chopped fresh coriander
- 1 tblsp shredded fresh basil sea salt and freshly ground
- Black pepper
Method
- Using a sharp knife cut away any brown bits from the salmon fillet, then finely chop.
- Place in a bowl, then stir in the spring onions, mustard and sesame seeds. Season to taste.
- Divide into 4 portions, then using slightly wetted hands, shape into patties. Dust the patties in the flour, shaking off any excess. Place in the fridge for 10 minutes to firm up.
- Meanwhile, make the roasted red pepper salsa. Place the red peppers in a bowl and stir in the tomatoes, lemon rind, sweet chilli sauce, oil and herbs. Season to taste and set aside at room temperature to allow the flavours to develop.
- Heat a large non-stick frying pan over a medium heat. Add the olive oil to the frying pan and then add the salmon burgers. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, until lightly golden but still slightly pink in the centre. Be careful not to overcook them or they will quickly become dry. Set aside.
- Meanwhile, heat a griddle pan until smoking hot. Add the slices of sourdough bread and chargrill for 1-2 minutes on each side, until nicely marked.
- Arrange on warmed plates and top with Little Gem lettuce leaves and the burgers. Spoon over the roasted red pepper salsa, then scatter over the coriander sprigs and serve with lime wedges.

MacNean Organic Oats with Irish Mist and Honey @nevenmaguire
Celebrity Chef
Porridge is one of our most popular breakfasts in the restaurant, and this recipe goes down a treat. On cold winter mornings, it gets you off to a good start and takes no more than 10 minutes to prepare.
Ingredients
- 100 g (4oz) porridge oats (organic if possible)
- 300 ml (1/2 pint) whole-fat milk (plus extra if necessary)
- 4 dsp clear honey
- 4 dsp irish mist
- 150 ml (1/4 pint) cream (optional)
Method
- Simmer the porridge oats and milk together in a saucepan for 8-10 minutes, until the mixture is slightly thickened, stirring all the time. It is important that the porridge has a nice soft dropping consistency so add a little more milk if you think that it needs it.
- To serve, spoon the porridge into warmed bowls. Drizzle each one with some honey and Irish mist and finally, serve with cream if you wish.
