  2. Creme Egg Easter Cheesecake

    Comments Off on Creme Egg Easter Cheesecake

    It’s been a long time coming this year but finally the Easter weekend is within reach.

    Why not get the kids involved with this quick and easy no bake Cheesecake originally inspired by Ren Behan. Perfect for sharing with family and friends…and of course with the kids too!

    Serves: 8

    Preparation Time: 20 minutes

    Chilling Time: 1 hour

    Ingredients

    • 150g digestive biscuits
    • 50g butter
    • 300g cream cheese
    • 145g icing sugar
    • 2 teaspoons lemon juice
    • 450ml double cream
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • 1 vanilla pod, scraped
    • Any topping you fancy!

    Method

    For the base

    1. Crush the digestive biscuits into a powder, melt the butter, and then mix them together. Press into the bottom of our mini pans or a tin with a removable base, then put in the fridge to set.

    For the cheesecake mixture

    1. Mix the cream cheese, lemon juice and icing sugar in a bowl until smooth.
    2. Whip the cream with the vanilla extract and vanilla seeds until it forms stiff peaks.
    3. Now mix the whipped cream and the cream cheese mix together making sure that both mixes are fully combined.
    4. Take the digestive base out of the fridge and spread the cheesecake mix over the top. Chill in the fridge for a minimum of 1 hour.

    Tip

    If you prefer a chocolate base you can use bourbons without the cream centre. You can also add any tinned or fresh fruit as an alternative topping.

    For clean slices when you slice the Cheesecake, use a sharp knife dipped in boiling water. Obviously keep this away from the kids!

    How to decorate

    We’ve used the different mini pans to create ‘individual’ portions as well as varying the Easter toppings too.

    We used Malteaster Mini Bunnies in the mini casserole, Cadbury’s Creme eggs in the mini frying pan, Cadbury’s Mini Eggs in the mini pan and Milkybar Mini Eggs in another mini pan. For the Mini Eggs cheesecake Fiona suggested crushing some Mini Eggs and adding them to the cream cheese mix, which turned out great. If you’re looking for playful dessert ideas this Easter, I would definitely recommend this one. It’s super easy because there is no baking and you could definitely get the kids involved, from crushing the biscuits for the base to adding the decorations! Happy Easter!

    • Extra thick double cream

    Cooking Method

    1. Preheat the oven to 160°C/gas mark 3 and line the cake tin with grease-proof paper. To make the biscuit base, blitz the biscuits and cocoa powder to a fine crumb in a blender. Pour in the butter and pulse until fully combined. Spoon the mixture into the cake tin and spread out to create an even layer.
    2. To make the torte, melt the chocolate in a bain-marie then add the ground almonds and breadcrumbs, mixing well to combine.

  4. Sweet Potato and Kale Rosti with Baked Eggs by Emma Porter

    Comments Off on Sweet Potato and Kale Rosti with Baked Eggs by Emma Porter

     

    We are thrilled to share this recipe by Emma Porter with you for Sweet Potato and Kale Rosti with Baked Eggs. Emma created this a few years ago and it has since become one of her most popular recipes on her blog; it’s also one of her favourites to make on a Saturday morning for guests. It’s bright, vibrant and packed with flavour and texture, as well as protein and all the vital vitamins and nutrients.

    Quick, simple and only one pan needed – perfect for slicing and sharing.

    Serves: 4

    Preparation Time: 10 minutes

    Cooking Time: 12-15 minutes

    Equipment

    Ingredients

    • 230g sweet potato, peeled 1 tsp coconut oil or butter
    • 240g red onion, finely chopped
    • 3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
    • ½ tsp sea salt
    • 2 large handfuls of kale, chopped
    • 4 large eggs juice of ½ lime
    • cracked black pepper
    • a small handful of coriander leaves, chopped, to garnish
    • dried chilli flakes, to taste (optional)

    Cooking Method

    1. Using a food processor fitted with the ‘grating’ attachment, coarsely grate the sweet potato – you can use a box grater instead, but you will need plenty of elbow grease.
    2. Melt the coconut oil or butter in a non-stick frying pan over medium-high Add the grated sweet potato and fry for 2–3 minutes until it softens. Add the red onion and garlic and fry for a further 3–4 minutes until the onion softens and is translucent.
    3. Add the salt and place the kale on top of the vegetables, letting the leaves steam a little before mixing them You will be amazed at how much the volume of kale reduces and how quickly!
    4. Firmly press the mix down and reduce the heat to medium, to avoid the bottom burning.
    5. Crack the eggs on top and leave to cook through for 6–7 minutes.
    6. You can finish the dish off under the grill if you like a crisp top – I don’t usually do this, however, as I prefer my yolks runny.
    7. Once everything is cooked through, drizzle the lime juice over the dish, scatter over the chopped coriander to garnish and add some cracked black pepper and dried chilli to taste, if you like.

    To serve

    1. Serve immediately or allow to cool, then slice up and enjoy when ready.

    1. To begin, make the gnocchi. Add the potatoes (still in their skins) to a large pan of cold water and bring to the boil. Simmer until completely cooked through.
    2. Drain the potatoes and, when cool enough to handle, peel and discard the skins. Pass the potatoes through a ricer and allow to cool.
    3. Spread the potato out on a work surface. Sprinkle over the flour and Parmesan, crack the egg into the middle of the pile and season. Using a pastry cutter, cut the mixture together until it comes together into a ball of dough.

    4. Cut the lengths of dough into 2.5cm pieces and set aside.
    5. Steam the cod for 6 minutes, until cooked through. Flake the flesh into a bowl, retaining nice whole flakes.
    6. Whisk together the dressing ingredients and use to season the cod flakes.
    7. Trim the ends of the broccoli stems and cut the stems into 1cm pieces, keeping the florets whole for garnish.
    8. Blanch the broccoli in seasoned boiling water for 2 minutes. Drain and allow to steam.
    9. Blanch the gnocchi in the seasoned boiling water until they float to the surface. Drain and add to a hot pan with a knob of butter and a grating of Parmesan. Toss to coat off the heat and season with salt and pepper.
    10. Add a knob of butter to a hot pan and allow to melt and foam. Add the garlic, thyme and blanched broccoli and toss to coat and heat through in the foaming butter. Season with salt and pepper.

     

    To serve

    1. Gently combine the gnocchi with the broccoli stems and dressed cod, then divide between plates. Garnish with the broccoli florets and serve.

    • 1l water
    • 50g of butter
    • 100g of Parmesan, grated
    • extra virgin olive oil

    • 1/4 bunch of chives
    • 1/4 bunch of dill
    • 2 sprigs of parsley
    • 2 sprigs of thyme, leaves picked
    • salt
    • pepper

     

     Cooking Method

    1. To begin, braise the veal shank. Very simply season the shank with salt, add to the pan and cover with cold water. Bring to the boil, then drain and discard the water and place the veal shank back into the pan with all the vegetables, lemon zest, the white wine and herbs. Add enough cold water to cover the shank well.
    2. Bring back to the boil then turn down to a very gentle simmer for 2 hours, or until the meat is just coming away from the bone. Now allow the shank to cool in the liquor. Remove the carrots, onions and celery as these will be served with the shank.
    3. To cook the polenta, bring the water to a simmer in a large pan and sprinkle in the polenta while whisking. Cook on a gentle heat, stirring frequently, for approximately 1 hour.
    4. When ready to serve, gently reheat the veal shank in the braising liquid. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to a low temperature (you will need to keep the shank warm while making the sauce).
    5. When the shank is heated through, carefully drain from the sauce and place on a tray. Keep warm in the oven, adding the carrot, onion and celery pieces to warm through on a separate baking tray.
    6. Pass the braising liquid through a fine sieve into a clean pan and reduce by half over a medium-high heat. Set aside.
    7. When the polenta is ready, beat in the butter, Parmesan, seasoning and a good glug of olive oil.
    8. Remove the shank from the oven and use a pastry brush to coat with the truffle mustard. Finely chop the herbs used to finish the shank and season with salt and pepper. Carefully roll the shank in the herbs so it’s nicely coated.
    9. Whisk the olive oil and Chardonnay vinegar into the sauce and season to taste.

    To serve

    1. Serve the shank on a platter with the polenta, braising vegetables and sauce set to one side.
