Back to the kitchen now
THIS TIME IT'S IRELAND's TRADITIONAL RECIPES
IRISH STEW
INGREDIENTS: 3 Middle Necks of Lamb (about 1.8kg/4lb), filleted and boned - you need to end up with about 950g/2lb 2oz pure meat 650g Floury Potatoes such as King Edward 650g Waxy Potato such as Desirée or Pentland Javelin 1kg Carrots 2 Onions ½ tsp Fresh Thyme Leaves Chopped Fresh Chives and Parsley, to garnish
FOR THE STOCK: Bones from the Lamb 1 large Carrot, quartered 1 Onion, quartered ½ Celery Stick, quartered 1 Bay Leaf 2 large Sprigs of Thyme a generous sprig of Parsley 6 Black Pepper, lightly crushed
METHOD
Make the stock..... Put the lamb bones in a large heavy-based saucepan with the carrot, onion, celery, herbs, peppercorns and 1 tsp salt. Pour in 3 litres/5 1/4 pints water. Bring to the boil and simmer uncovered for 2 hours.
Strain the stock through a fine sieve to remove bones and vegetables, then return to the pan. Boil until reduced to about 1.3 litres/21/4 pints. (You can make the stock the day before – keep it in a covered container in the fridge, or freeze it for up to 3 months.)
Make the stew..... Cut the lamb into large chunks. Peel the potatoes (keeping both types separate) and cut into pieces of similar size to the meat. Put the two different types in separate bowls of water to keep them white. Peel the carrots and cut into slightly smaller pieces. Slice the onions into thick rings.
Put the lamb in a large, clean saucepan. Pour in the stock and bring to the boil, skimming off all the impurities from the surface. Reduce the heat, cover and simmer gently for 10 minutes.
Add the floury potatoes, carrots and onions. Season generously and simmer for a further 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the waxy potatoes and thyme. Simmer until the lamb is tender (15-20 minutes). Take off the heat, cover (don’t stir) and leave for 15 minutes. (You can make this up to 2 days ahead and keep in the fridge). Garnish and serve.
GUINNESS CHOCOLATE CAKE
INGREDIENTS: 1 cup Guinness (dark beer) 1/2 cup butter, cubed 2 cups sugar 3/4 cup baking cocoa 2 eggs, beaten 2/3 cup sour cream 3 teaspoons vanilla extract 2 cups all-purpose flour 1-1/2 teaspoons baking soda
TOPPING: 1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened 1-1/2 cups confectioners' sugar 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
METHOD: 1 - Grease a 9-in. springform pan and line the bottom with parchment paper; set aside.
2 - In a small saucepan, heat beer and butter until butter is melted. Remove from the heat; whisk in sugar and cocoa until blended. Combine the eggs, sour cream and vanilla; whisk into beer mixture. Combine flour and baking soda; whisk into beer mixture until smooth. Pour batter into prepared pan.
3 - Bake at 350° for 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool completely in pan on a wire rack. Remove sides of pan.
4. - In a large bowl, beat cream cheese until fluffy. Add confectioners’ sugar and cream; beat until smooth (do not over-beat).
5 - Remove cake from the pan and place on a platter or cake stand.
6 - Ice top of cake so that it resembles a frothy pint of beer. Refrigerate leftovers. Yield: 12 servings
SLIANTE ;-) :-D
