Roasted Garlic Champ with Pure Irish Butter
This traditional Irish peasant food gets an upgrade with the help of some pure Irish butter and decadent truffle oil. The snap of fresh chives adds a finishing touch to an old-fashioned side made new again.
Ingredients:
- 1 garlic bulb (about 3 ounces)
- 2 pounds russet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks
- 1 cup whole milk
- Salt and pepper
- 4 tablespoons Kerrygold Pure Irish Butter
- 8 teaspoons truffle oil
- 4 teaspoons minced fresh chives
Directions:
Heat oven to 400° F. Cut off the top 1/2 to 1 inch off garlic bulb to expose cloves. Wrap garlic in foil, place in baking pan and bake until soft and browned, about 45 minutes. Squeeze garlic from skins. Meanwhile, in large saucepan over high heat, bring 1 quart water to boil. Add potatoes, cover and return to boil. Reduce heat to medium-high and simmer until potatoes are very tender, about 10 minutes. Drain potatoes and return to pan. Heat milk in microwave oven until steaming, about 1 minute. Pour milk over potatoes, add roasted garlic and mash with potato masher. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Spoon onto four plates or small bowls. Make a well in the middle of each serving and fill with 1 tablespoon Kerrygold Butter. Drizzle each serving with 2 teaspoons truffle oil and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon chives.

Rory O’Connell’s Summer spinach with garlic, chilli and lemon
Directions
Wash the destalked spinach in several changes of cold water, then allow it to drain in order to remove as much of the water as possible.
Place a wide, low-sided, heavy saucepan or frying pan on the heat and add the olive oil. Immediately add the peeled thinly sliced garlic, and cook gently until the olive oil gets hot and the garlic colours slightly. Add the crushed dried chilli or the chilli flakes, whichever you are using, and cook for a few seconds – the garlic should now be golden.
Increase the heat and add the drained spinach, being careful because it will hiss and spit a bit. Cook the spinach, turning it constantly, then season with a little salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Add the lemon juice and zest, and stir them in. Pull the pan off the heat and taste. Correct the seasoning and serve the spinach immediately in a hot dish. The spinach can also be removed from the pan when it is cooked, spread out flat to cool, and served later at room temperature.
