Burger Bun recipe from Adare Manor
With barbeque season now upon us, our Executive Pastry Chef Xavier Torne shares his recipe for homemade burger buns.

Ingredients:

250g strong flour

65ml warm water

75g eggs (1 and a ½ eggs)

5g salt

25g sugar

7g dry yeast

70g butter

Lamb Cutlets with Herb Roast Potatoes and Vegetables from Hazel Vokes.
These lamb chops would be perfect barbequed, so get your barbeque season off to a great start.

Preparation time is 10 minutes, marinate overnight if you can and cooking time is 50 minutes

INGREDIENTS

FOR THE MARINADE

8 lamb cutlets or chops or as many as you want

small bunch  mint leaves, finely chopped

2 sprigs rosemary, finely chopped

3 sprigs thyme, finely chopped

2 tbsp oil

1 lemon, zest & juice

Cracked black pepper

For the potatoe and vegetable  roast.

500g new potatoes

3 tbsp  oil

Sea salt

Head of garlic broken into cloves. Don’t use if you don’t like garlic.

3 sprigs rosemary and thyme.

1 large leek, sliced into 2cm rounds

200g asparagus, woody ends removed

150g chicken stock

½ tbsp garlic purée

METHOD

1. The night before or at least 4 hours before cooking, marinade the cutlets. Place in a bowl along with the mint, rosemary, thyme and oil.
2. Grate in the zest and squeeze in the juice of a lemon and give a good twist of pepper before massaging the marinade into the cutlets. Cover the bowl and place in the fridge overnight.
3. When ready to cook, preheat the oven to 200°C/ Fan 180°C/ Gas Mark 6.
4. Slice the new potatoes in half and place in the roasting tin along with the oil, salt, and rosemary and thyme. Roast for 25 minutes until the potatoes are golden, tossing occasionally.
5. Put the cutlets in a roasting tin (fatty rind touching the base of the roaster) and roast for 12 – 15 minutes.
6. Remove the cutlets from the oven and cover with foil and allow to rest.
7. Add the garlic, leeks and asparagus to the roast potatoes. Pour in the stock and stir through.
8. Return the roaster to the oven and roast for a further 10 / 15 minutes until the vegetables are soft yet still vibrant.
9. I like to serve some steamed broccoli on the side.

If you barbeque the chops, these vegetables and potatoes are perfect to serve on the side.

Cook’s Notes

• When you add the cutlets or chops to the roaster, place them fat side touching the base of the roaster. This will render down the fat in the short amount of time they are in the oven.

If you prefer your lamb cooked well done, cook for a further 5 – 6 minutes

Spring in to a Delicious West Limerick Lamb Burger from Dunraven Arms

To celebrate the arrival of Spring, the Dunraven Arms Hotel, Adare, Co Limerick has launched the “West Limerick Spring Lamb Burger Kit,” a click and collect gourmet burger kit featuring ingredients from West Limerick producers.
Caroline Rigney (Rigney’s Farm), Jan Bina (Sous Chef, Dunraven Arms Hotel), Chris Starr (Head Chef, Dunraven Arms Hotel) and Eoin Cahill (Cahill’s Cheese) at the launch of the West Limerick Spring Lamb Burger Kit.

Head chef Chris Starr was inspired to create the weekend meal kit as a result of his participation on the West Limerick Food Series, a comprehensive networking and training programme designed to foster collaboration between local businesses.  The Croagh based chef teamed up with his butcher, Brian Costello in Adare, who sources grass fed Spring lamb from a local farmer to make the patties and chose the classic Vintage Cheddar from Cahill’s Cheese and free range streaky rashers from Rigney’s Farm for the toppings as he felt they created a unique flavour combination.  The Dunraven’s signature Spiced Tomato Chutney, and aioli made in house from wild garlic foraged in nearby Curraghchase Forest as well as the Dunraven’s homemade brioche buns complete the mouth-watering extravaganza.  The kit includes comprehensive cooking and serving instructions along with an oven ready surprise sweet treat. 

“We are blessed with a number of fantastic food and drink producers in the West Limerick area,” said Chris who has been the head chef at the Dunraven Arms Hotel for 3 years.  “The West Limerick Food Series has given me an opportunity to connect with many of them and I look forward to working with them to develop West Limerick as Ireland’s latest food destination.” 

The West Limerick Food Series aims to inspire and develop the food sector and food tourism industry in the West Limerick area.  West Limerick Resources CLG secured funding under the LEADER Food Initiative delivered by the Department of Rural and Community Development and the Department of Agriculture to further develop the food sector and food tourism industry in the area.       

In addition to the West Limerick Lamb Burger by the Dunraven Arms Hotel which can be ordered on line at www.dunravenhotel.com or by phoning 061 605 900, the West Limerick Food Series has also initiated other successful collaborations such as a selection of West Limerick themed hampers from D&M Garden Centre in Croagh and Logr Café in Adare has teamed up with Forrestal Wine Merchants to offer the perfect wine pairing with its Easter weekend menu. 

Participation on the West Limerick Food Series programme is free and registration is required.  For more information and/or to register, visit the West Limerick Food Series on Eventbrite or email westlimerickfood@gmail.com 

Delicious Scandinavian-inspired Pork Meatballs, another exciting recipe from Hazel Vokes

Ingredients
2 tablespoons oil
1 large onion, very finely diced
1 large garlic clove, crushed
1 tablespoon dried mixed herbs
700g minced pork or if you prefer chicken breasts cut into strips.
3 tsp fresh parsley, finely chopped
3 tsp dill, finely chopped
½ cup fresh breadcrumbs
Sea salt and cracked black pepper
1 free range egg, lightly whisked.
Wine and Stock Sauce.
1 onion finely chopped
2 cloves garlic crushed
300g chopped mushrooms.
40g butter
40g flour
120 ml white wine
500 ml chicken/beef stock
100ml cream.
To make the sauce.
Add 2 tablsp oil to a large frying or saute pan over medium heat. Add the finely diced onion to the pan and gently fry for 8-10 minutes minutes until the onions are soft. Add the crushed garlic and chopped mushrooms. and fry for a further 2/3 minutes.
Melt the butter in the pan with the onions and mushrooms. Add in the flour to create a roux. Stirring continuously, allow the flour to cook off for 2 – 3 minutes to create a paste.
Slowly add the stock and wine, continuously whisking to avoid a lumpy sauce. When the mixture thickens, add a little more stock. Repeat this until most of the stock has been added. Season generously with salt and pepper . Stir in cream to finish the sauce.

To make the meat balls.

Finely chop 1onion and fry gently for 10 minutes until soft.

Season with pepper and salt and place in a bowl to cool .

In a large bowl, place the pork mince, chopped parsley, dill, breadcrumbs and the cooled onion mixture. Add a generous pinch of salt and pepper before adding in the egg. Using a wooden spoon, combine all the meatball ingredients thoroughly (but not overworking the mixture otherwise your meatballs will become tough), before dividing the mixture into little balls.

I weigh the 1st few … 50 g per meat ball is a good size.

Roll each piece of mixture in the palm of your hands to form the round balls.

To cook the meatballs, brown them on a frying pan for a few minutes and then cook in the oven for about 10 minutes.
Cook the pasta or rice according to packet instructions.

Serve with pasta, rice or mashed potatoes.

Chocolate Cake with Raspberries

Serving 8 – 10

This rich, dark chocolate cakes flavour is enhanced thanks to the addition of coffee. Decorated with raspberries and a sprinkling of icing sugar, this cake is delicious as dessert or an afternoon delight!

Preparation time: 20 minutes

Cooking time: 40–45 minutes

INGREDIENTS

225g butter, plus extra for greasing

250g dark chocolate

1 tsp instant coffee

5 medium eggs

75g caster sugar

75g plain flour, sieved

175g fresh raspberries

A little icing sugar, for dusting

METHOD

Preheat the oven to 160°C/ Fan 140°C /Gas Mark 3

Grease the inside of the heart casserole and line the base with baking parchment.

Put the chocolate, butter, coffee and 1 tablespoon of water into a saucepan. Place over a medium heat and melt together, stirring occasionally. Cool slightly.

Put the eggs and sugar into a large bowl and beat until thick and pale in colour. (This may take 4–5 minutes using an electric hand mixer.)

Using a metal spoon, gently fold the chocolate mixture into the eggs and sugar, followed by the flour.

Pour the cake mixture into the casserole and sprinkle the raspberries evenly over the top.

Bake in the centre of the oven for 40–45 minutes or until the cake is well risen and springy to the touch.

Leave the cake to cool for 10 minutes and then ease around the edge of the casserole with a spatula before turning the cake out onto a large serving plate.

When cool, remove the baking parchment and turn the cake over so that the raspberries are on the top. Dust with the icing sugar to serve.

Cook’s Notes

Frozen raspberries can be used instead. Thaw them thoroughly and drain off any excess juice.

Cauliflower and Fish Curry

A very healthy and wholesome recipe from Hazel Vokes, using white fish and cauliflower, serving four people.

Vibrant in flavour and colour, this turmeric, coconut and cauliflower curry is both comforting and healthy. Creating your own curry paste makes for a more aromatic curry and is surprisingly easy to do. Pop all the ingredients in a food processor and blitz – a simple and wholesome midweek meal that won’t disappoint.

Preparation time: 10 minutes

Cooking time: 25 minutes

INGREDIENTS

Zest and Juice of a lemon

1 green chilli, seeds removed

1 white onion, diced

1 large garlic clove, chopped

1 large thumb of ginger, grated

1 teaspoon turmeric powder

1 teaspoon mild curry powder

1 tablespoon coconut oil

350g cauliflower

1 can coconut milk (400ml)

250g white fish – sustainably caught

Pinch of salt

METHOD

Put lemon juice, chopped chilli, half the diced onion, garlic, ginger, turmeric and curry powder into a food blender.  Blitz into a smooth paste, adding a little water if needed.

Place the Signature Cast Iron 24cm Round Casserole over a medium heat and melt the coconut oil. Add the remaining onion and fry for 4 – 5 minutes until soft. Add the curry paste and cook for a further 3 – 4 minutes, stirring continuously.

Chop the cauliflower into large florets and place in the casserole. Coat the cauliflower in the curry paste before pouring in the coconut milk. Fill the empty can of coconut milk with water and add to the pan. Bring to the boil before lowering the temperature. Simmer for 10 – 15 minutes over a medium to low heat.

Dice the fish into large chunks and stir through the curry. Allow to gently simmer for 6 – 7 minutes until the fish is just cooked through. If the sauce is reducing too quickly, place on the lid. Finish the curry by stirring through the reserved coriander leaves and add a squeeze of lime and season to taste.

Serve with extra lime wedges and brown rice.

Cook’s Notes

This recipe is very adaptable, and the fish can be exchanged for meat, seafood or even a veggie alternative like tofu or chickpeas.

For extra vibrancy, try and source fresh turmeric but powdered turmeric works just as well. Make sure you season well with salt and lime to really make the flavours sing.

Frozen fish is also perfect for this recipe – place the fillets in the curry sauce, add an extra 5 minutes cooking time and when cooked, carefully break the fillet into pieces using a fork.

Raisin and Walnut Bread – Adare Manor Recipe

This is our recipe for our Raisin and Walnut Bread, which is made in our in-house bakery for our guests to enjoy each day. Here is the recipe for you to try at home …

Walnut and Raisin Bread (serves 4)

Ingredients:

106g white flour (strong)

64ml water

4g fresh yeast

3g salt

70g walnuts

70g dried raisins

Method:

1. With the exception of raisins and walnuts, place all ingredients in a stand mixer for approximately 5 minutes on medium speed.
2. Next, add the raisins and walnuts to the dough and mix for 2 minutes on medium speed, being careful not to break up the walnut pieces.
3. Let the dough proof for 60 to 75 minutes, depending on the temperature of the room. Proofing can be helped by using a hot wet towel and putting it on the top the dough, helping it to avoid drying out.
4. When the dough is ready, roll it out with a rolling pin to a depth of 1.5cm to 2cm. The best size for the bread is 8cm long and 4cm wide.
5. Cut the dough into whatever size pieces you desire and place them on an oven tray with parchment paper.
6. Allow the dough to proof for another hour and leave the wet towel on the top of it (until the dough is twice the size).
7. While the dough is proofing, preheat your oven to 200°C and put a small tray of water inside your oven. The steam will help to create a nice golden-brown colour on the bread crust.
8. Before baking the bread, dust some flour on the top of the dough, and cook for 14-16 minutes at 200°C (along with the steaming tray of water).

Wade Murphy Restaurant 1826 – Chilli Con Carne

“I love cooking one-pot wonders at home, for numerous reasons, but mainly to save on the washing up. One of my favourites is this chilli con carne recipe. It’s simple and tasty but also very versatile. You can dish it up in so many different ways. You can serve it as I have here, or simply with rice, or even serve it on top of a baked potato with some melted cheese on top. Sometimes I add a bit of dark chocolate to the recipe too, which really enriches the chilli and brings it up another level.

One-pot crowd-pleasing chilli con carne

Serves six

Ingredients
1 tbsp rapeseed oil
1 large onion, chopped
2 red peppers, diced
3 cloves garlic, chopped
650g minced beef
110g tomato puree
1½ tbsp hot chilli powder (add more if you like more heat)
1½ tsp ground cumin
1 tsp ground coriander
525 ml beer (substitute beef stock if you don’t want to use beer but you will be cooking all the alcohol out of it)
600g pre-cooked red kidney beans, rinsed
600g tinned chopped tomatoes
Salt and pepper

To garnish and serve:
Sour cream
Sliced scallions
Sliced fresh red chili
Picked coriander leaves
Grated cheddar
Fresh soft tortillas and pepper

Method
1. Heat the oil in a large pot over a high heat. Add the onions, peppers and garlic. Fry, constantly stirring, until the vegetables soft. This will take about seven to eight minutes.

2. Add the beef and break it up as it fries. Once the beef has browned, about six to seven minutes, add the spices and tomato puree. Cook these out for about two to three minutes.
3. Add the tinned tomatoes and beer. Season with salt and pepper. Allow the chilli mix to simmer slowly, stirring occasionally, for about 25 minutes. By this time it should have thickened up a bit.
4. Serve in the pot in the centre of the table and have small bowls of all the various garnishes ready.
