Invested in some porcelain cookware, check out my first recipe...

Hey Guys,

So recently I decided to invest in some really good porcelain cookware from a brand called Revol.  Check out their website here;

 http://revol-porcelaine.fr/en/materials/from-white-porcelain/

It is of very high quality and due to this has great performance, dinners I have tried so far taste great when cooked in them.  The modern design and colours used by Revol appealed to me as I felt they fitted well with the modern style kitchen that I have.


The first recipe that I tried out in my new Revol Tagine was 'Moroccan Lamb with Sweet Potato and Raisins'. Recipe below. If you don't have a Tagine a normal casserole dish is perfect to use. Give this a go, fabulous dish to indulge in on a Sunday!

Here is the new cookware;


Ingredients

1/4 cup of Olive oil
700g diced lamb
3 red onions, 1 sliced and 2 chopped
2 garlic cloves crushed
1/2 tsp ground ginger
1/2 tsp ground coriander
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp Fennel seeds
1 cinnamon stick
1 Bay Leaf
A Can of Tomatoes 
375g or two small sweet potatoes into 3cm chunks
4 tbsp Raisins
4 tbsp chopped Dates
500ml of Chicken Stock
Sea Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Bunch of Chopped Coriander 


Method


1. Coat the bottom of the dish with olive oil.  Spread the sliced red onion on the base of the Tagine. 


2. In a bowl, combine the lamb, spices, remaining red onion, chopped coriander, garlic and remaining olive oil, mix well. Season this with salt and pepper. Pile into the middle of the Tagine.


3. Arrange sweet potato in the dish.



4. Pour in your can of tomatoes and stock and sprinkle over fruit (Dates and Raisins)


5. Bring to boil, reduce to simmer for 3 hours or until the lamb is tender.


Then serve, we used pittas and Greek yogurt. Cous Cous would also go very well with this.

It was just Yum!! :-)
Give it a go!

Valentine's Day

Hey Guys,

We all love and deserve a nice treat every so often, any excuse really! Some things I love about Valentine's Day;




THE MEAL

This year we have booked dinner in 1826 on the Main Street of Adare in Co Limerick.   I am really looking forward to having dinner here with my husband to celebrate Valentine's Day.  Fabulous food in a great location.
THE FLOWERS

He always gets them and I always love receiving them, Roses.  Wouldn't be Valentines Day without them!




THE PERFUME

I adore Chanel No 5 always have , always will!






THE CARD

This year I bought my Valentine Card from LAINEY K. She just launched a new Valentine's Day collection and I fell in love with it. It is quirky, made in Ireland and will put a smile on anyone's face. Check out her Valentine range here;
