Digging new season potatoes @rachelallencooks #ballymaloe
ballymaloecookeryschool
New season potatoes are being dug daily here at Ballymaloe Cookery School and delivered up to the Farm Shop by the hardworking gardeners. The pic of @rachelallencooks is from last year when everyone (literally) dug in during the lockdown and helped out anywhere they could.
Thank goodness things are begining to look a little more normal. Swing by the shop and grab a bag of Homegrown Organic Spuds at The Farm Shop. Bring them home and gently boil in salted water, slather with some delicious butter and a sprinkling of @maldonsalt. It couldn’t be more #SimplyDelicious

Clodagh McKenna’s Orange Pistachio Yogurt Cake @NDC_ie #homebaking
This is one of my favourite cakes at this time of the year. It’s a much needed burst of sunshine. Deliciously light, and moist due to the natural Irish yogurt. You can make a gluten free version by simply using gluten free breadcrumbs. You can substitute the pistachios with hazelnuts, roast the hazelnuts before you add them to the cake, it enhances their flavour. It will last for one week, but not sure you will have any left for to test me on that!
To serve:
Decorate with 50g roughly chopped pistachios and the zest of one lemon on top. Serve with a dollop of natural Irish yogurt
Ingredients checklist
50 g slightly stale white breadcrumbs
100 g almonds, ground
100 g pistachios
1 tsp baking powder
4 eggs
150 g caster sugar
125 ml sunflower oil
200 ml natural Irish yogurt
zest of 1 orange
zest of 1 lemon
Ingredients checklist for the citrus syrup
juice of 1 orange
juice of 1 lemon
1 star anise
1 cinnamon stick
Instructions
Pre-heat the oven to 190°C / Gas 5.
Grease a 20.5cm (8in) round and 5cm (2in) deep tin and then lightly dust with flour.
In a large bowl mix together the breadcrumbs, almonds, pistachios and baking powder.
In a separate bowl whisk the eggs with the caster sugar. Continue to whisk while pouring in the vegetable oil, followed by the natural Irish yogurt.
Next stir the liquid pour into the dry ingredients and mix well. Add the orange and lemon zest.
Pour the mixture into the prepared cake tin and into the pre-heated oven.
Bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour or until the cake is golden brown. To ensure cake is done, insert a skewer into the center – if it’s ready, the skewer should come out clean. Allow to cool for 5 minutes before turning out onto a plate.
Meanwhile, make the citrus syrup. Put all of the ingredients into a saucepan and bring gently to the boil, stirring until the sugar has dissolved completely. Simmer for 10 minutes or until thick.
While the cake is still warm, pierce it several times with a skewer, then spoon the hot syrup over the cake, allowing it to run into the holes. Leave to cool. Spoon any excess syrup back over the cake every now and then until it is all soaked up.
Sprinkle chopped pistachios on top, and the zest of one orange. Serve with natural Irish yogurt

Rachel Allen’s Broccoli Soup with Dubliner Cheese Toasts @KerrygoldUSA #ballymaloe
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

- 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.

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
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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Flatten out the ball into a disk and wrap in plastic wrap.
- Place in the fridge to chill for at least two hours and up to a week.
To prepare the galette:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
- Place a piece of parchment paper on a sheet pan.
- Combine the almond meal, ¼ cup sugar, vanilla, and half of the beaten egg in a small bowl into a pasty consistency.
- In a separate bowl, combine the cherries, remaining ¼ cup sugar, cornstarch, booze, and zest. Set aside.
- Use a floured rolling pin to roll the dough out onto a floured surface into a 12” circle.
- Spread the almond mixture in the center of the circle, leaving a 2” border around the perimeter of the circle.
- 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.
- Use a pastry brush to brush a thin layer of the remaining beaten egg on top of the dough.
- Sprinkle the dough with the turbinado sugar and sliced almonds.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 40-45 minutes or until the crust is golden and the filling is bubbling.
- 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.
- Allow to cool and set prior to slicing and serving with ice cream!
