Ingredients (Serves 4)
2 Simply Better Irish Corn Fed Chicken Fillets
2 Simply Better Irish Free Range Corn Fed Large eggs
2 Tbsp. Simply Better Organic Irish Jersey Milk
150g Simply Better Rustic Ciabatta Breadcrumbs
50g Simply Better Parmigiano Reggiano grated, plus extra to garnish
2 Tbsp. Simply Better Italian Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 Tub Simply Better Italian Mozzarella, cut into 4 slices
1 Jar Simply Better Italian Tomato & Mascarpone Pasta Sauce
25g Butter
75g Plain Flour
A small handful of fresh basil leaves

To serve:
300g Simply Better Italian Bronze Die Spaghetti, cooked
Mixed Leaf Salad

DIRECTIONS
1. Place the chicken on a chopping board and cut each fillet in half lengthways. Spread them out and cover with parchment paper, then bash with a rolling pin until they are about 1cm thick.

2. Put the flour in a dish and season generously with salt and pepper. Put the eggs in a separate dish with the milk and season, then beat lightly with a fork. Put the breadcrumbs and Parmesan into a third dish, stirring to combine. Dust each chicken escalope in the seasoned flour, then dip into the beaten eggs and finally coat it in the breadcrumbs. Arrange on a plate.

3. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F/gas mark 4).

4. Heat the oil and butter in a large non-stick frying pan over a medium heat. Cook the escalope’s for 2 minutes on each side, until crisp and golden. Pour half of the tomato sauce on a baking tray or into a baking dish, then add the chicken. Spoon a little of the sauce on each one and top with a piece of mozzarella and a spoon of pesto. Transfer to the oven and cook for 10-12 minutes, until the mozzarella is bubbling.

5. Garnish the chicken with some fresh basil and serve straight to the table with a bowl of spaghetti and a bowl of salad so everyone can help themselves.

Neven’s Recipes – Red berry smoothie & MacNean special porridge – Marty in the Morning @rte lyricfm

Smoothie

I normally use frozen berries straight out of the freezer so that you don’t have to use any ice cubes, but it can be hard on the blades of your liquidiser. However, in light of recent health scares, you might want to follow the FSAI’s advice to boil imported frozen berries for 1 minute, or even better, freeze fresh berries when there is a glut of them in the summer or buy Irish berries. Smoothies can be made up to 2 hours in advance and kept in the fridge, then just given a good stir before serving them.

MAKES ABOUT 1.2 LITRES (2 PINTS)

  • 500g (1lb 2 oz) fResh or frozen berries, such as a mixture of strawberries, raspberries, redcurrants and tayberries
  • 2 bananas, peeled
  • 125g (4½oz) natural yogurt
  • 500ml (18fl oz) raspberry and cranberry juice
  • handful of ice cubes (optional)

1 Place the berries and bananas in a liquidiser with the yogurt and juice. Process for 1 minute, until smooth. Alternatively, you can put everything into a large measuring jug and blitz with a hand-held blender, moving it up and down until smooth.

2 Half-fill tall glasses with ice cubes, if using, and pour in the red berry smoothie to serve.

MACNEAN SPECIAL PORRIDGE WITH HONEY AND CREAM

This is one of our signature breakfast dishes. It’s amazing how many people going to bed at night tell me that they can’t wait to taste the porridge! On cold winter mornings, it gets you off to a good start and takes no more than 10 minutes to prepare.

Serves 4

  • 100g (4oz) porridge oats (organic if possible)
  • 300ml (1/2 pint) milk (plus a little extra if necessary)
  • 4 tbsp clear honey
  • 4 tbsp Irish Mist
  • 150ml (1/4 pint) cream

Place the porridge oats, milk and 150ml (1/4 pint) water in a heavy-based pan. Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 8–10 minutes, until the mixture has slightly thickened, stirring all the time. It’s important that the porridge has a nice soft dropping consistency, so add a little more milk if you think it needs it.

To serve, spoon the porridge into warmed bowls. Drizzle each one with some honey and Irish Mist and serve with plenty of cream poured on top.

COOK AHEAD

One of the last things we do at night in the restaurant is steep the porridge oats in the milk and water in the fridge, as leaving them overnight makes them lovely and soft so that they cook much quicker. They can also be made the night before and reheated gently in a pan on the hob.

For the Italian Meringue

  1. Place the caster sugar and water in a saucepan over a medium heat, swirling the pot until the sugar has dissolved.
  2. Once the sugar has dissolved allow to boil.
  3. Meanwhile place the egg whites & vanilla extract in a large mixing bowls and whisk until soft peaks form.
  4. Boil the sugar until it has reached 120°C (use a sugar thermometer to check).
  5. Carefully stream the syrup into the egg white while whisking on high speed.
  6. Keep whisking for around 5 minutes until the meringue is thick, glossy and has completely cooled down.
  7. Keep covered in a bowl or transfer to a piping bag until needed.

To Assemble

  2. Cut the prepared chocolate sponge in 3

  4. Using half of the tub of vanilla ice-cream, spread an even layer over the sponge. Use the back of a tablespoon to help
  5. Place another piece of the sponge on top followed by the remaining ice-cream, ensuring to spread it evenly
  6. Add the final piece of sponge on to, gently pressing down
  7. Fold the overhang of cling film over the top
  8. Pace in the freezer to firm up for 3-4 hours minimum or overnight is best

To Serve

  1. Once ready to serve, remove from the freezer, open and turn out onto a long plate/serving plate
  2. Pipe the prepared Italian meringue around the loaf ensuring it is completely covered
  3. At this point the Alaska can be returned to the freezer until needed or alternately to serve straight away, use a blow torch to evenly brown the outside of the meringue all over
  4. Enjoy with warm chocolate sauce and whipped cream
