Cheat’s No Churn Vanilla & Sea Salt Ice-Cream with Roasted Frozen Berries and Grated White Chocolate | Summer ending doesn’t mean ice cream is off the menu and this straightforward method of making this ice cream might just convince you to take the plunge and make your own. Even if you don’t, and use shop bought, the trick of roasting frozen berries with a sprinkle of grated white chocolate will make you wonder why you haven’t been doing this for years, with ingredients as always from @dunnestores 🍦🍓 Give it a go this weekend!
Serves: 4 Time: 35 mins + overnight freezing time
For the ice cream: 2 vanilla pods, split in half, seeds scraped 200g condensed milk 600ml double cream 2 tsp flaky sea salt
For the roasted frozen berries: 300g frozen mixed berries 3 tbsp caster sugar 1 tbsp cornflour Juice of a lemon
To serve: 100g white chocolate, grated
1. Put the condensed milk, cream and vanilla pods & seeds into a large bowl. Using an electric mixer, whisk the mixture until thickened and stiff peaks form. Gently stir in the sea salt and spoon into a large loaf tin or large glass lunch box with a lid, cover and freeze overnight or until solid. 2. When you are about 25 minutes away from serving, preheat the oven to 180°C/160°C fan /350°F/Gas Mark 4. 3. Add the berries to a deep tray with the caster sugar, cornflour and lemon juice. Mix well to combine, add to a baking tray and transfer to the oven to roast for 15 minutes, stirring halfway, until the berries are broken down, glossy and juicy. 4. Remove the berries from the oven and allow to cool slightly then serve the ice cream into bowls. Top with the slightly warm berries then drown everything in the grated white chocolate.1d

I’d like to wish Emma the very best, and a big thank you for the time we’ve worked together & all the laughs we’ve had along the way.
I am looking forward to welcoming our loyal customers and new faces over the coming weeks and months.
Thank you to everyone for all your support and well wish so far. I’m very grateful.
Sharon Hearne Smith’s Sesame Seed Porridge Bread from Today with Maura and Dáithí.
Ingredients
This is an unusual bread recipe, based on porridge oats and yoghurt instead of flour and water. It is quick, easy and virtually foolproof to make.
Use any selection of seeds you prefer instead of sesame seeds, or omit them altogether for a plain bread. Alternatively, add other flavours like nuts and dried fruits or sundried tomatoes and basil or a swirl of pesto would be delicious too. This bread stays quite moist and fresh for a few days stored in an airtight container.
Makes: 1 loaf (about 12 slices)
Sunflower oil for greasing
500g tub natural yoghurt
100ml milk
2 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp sesame seeds + extra for sprinkling
2 tsp bicarbonate of soda
2 x 500ml yoghurt tubs of porridge oats (or 400g)
butter for serving, optional
Method
Preheat the oven to 200C (fan 180C), 400F, Gas Mark 6. Grease a 1Lb loaf tin (approximately 3 x 5 x 7 inch) with parchment paper and grease again.
Scoop the yoghurt into a large bowl. Add the milk, oil, sesame seeds and bicarbonate of soda and mix until well blended.
Fill a clean and dry yoghurt tub with oats and tip them in. Repeat with a second tub of oats. Alternatively, weigh out 400g of oats on a scales.
Mix everything together until well blended.
Spoon into the prepared tin, spreading the top level. Scatter a small handful of sesame seeds on top.
Bake for 45 minutes or until golden brown and a skewer comes out clean when pierced in the middle.
Remove from the tin and return the loaf to oven, directly on the shelf, for another 5 minutes to dry out the crust.
Remove and leave to cool on a wire rack. Cut into slices and serve spread with a little butter if liked.
METHOD Heat the oil in a frying pan over a medium high heat. Cook the cod in the pan for 2 minutes each side and for the final minute, add 1 tbsp of the teriyaki sauce and turn the fish in the sauce to coat. Remove the fish from the pan to serving plates and keep warm. Stir fry the carrot, scallions and garlic in the pan for 1 minute before adding in the remaining teriyaki sauce and toss to coat. Serve the veg with the fish and garnish with some fresh scallions and sesame seeds
Of course this recipe is great with just parsley but experiment with a combination of soft fragrant herbs sauce as parsley, chives, tarragon or chervil depending on what’s available.
Serves 4
Ingredients
4 x 175g hake fillets, skin on and boned
1 tablesp. olive oil
Salt and freshly ground pepper
50g butter
½ lemon, pips removed
1 tablesp. chopped mixed herbs (parsley, chives and tarragon)
To Cook
Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan and add the seasoned hake fillets, skin side down. Cook for a couple of minutes until the skin is just beginning to crisp, then add little knobs of butter to the pan around each hake fillet and cook for another couple of minutes until the skin is crisp.
Turn the hake fillets over and cook for another 3-4 minutes until cooked through. This will depend on the thickness of the fillets. Transfer to warmed plates while you make the sauce.
Add the rest of the butter to the frying pan and allow it to gently melt over a moderate heat. When it has melted, add a squeeze of lemon juice and the herbs, swirling to combine. Season to taste. Spoon this sauce over the hake fillets and serve with steamed broccoli and some sautéed new potatoes.
Serving Suggestions
Steamed broccoli and sauté new potatoes
Tips
Above all be careful not to overcook the fish. To check, gently prod the thickest part of the fish with a small knife. If it is cooked, the flesh will look opaque and the flakes will separate easily. If it isn’t done yet, it will still have the translucent look for raw fish.
Other fish you could use: Whiting, haddock or trout fillets
