Cook up red onions. mushroom and 2 breast of chicken, throw in about 3 tablespoons of red pesto, and 1/4 glass of red wine and 1/4 glass of water, let it simmer and reduce for about 25 mins. add halved red seedless grapes. Serve on fresh cooked tagatelli
Peadar,
I can't remember the brand name, but it's exactly like the link, alright.
You could get the ravioli tray, or just put dollops of filling on one sheet of pasta, egg around each dollop, another sheet on top, press around each one to seal, then cut it with a knife, or with one of those fancy pastry cutters to get the zigzag look.
You would manage without the pasta maker if you make up the dough and roll it out pretty thinly.
300g Strong Flour
3 large eggs
pinch of salt
Knead. Rest Knead & roll.
Just stolen ur recipe for my son....he's looking for a nice italian chicken receipe for the grandparents!
True but at least it only going to be your own hair in it if home made.. could of gone down a awful road but won't....Quote:

we have a pizza day in work once a month and they get dominos oh christ they are awful.
Anyone know where to get the Tipo 00 flour that is reccomended for making pasta? I usually just sive it over and over until its really fine.
Also anyone have the book Silverspoon? I got it a few months ago, its great. Its the most bought cookbook by Italian housevives for the last 50 years so you know its gotta be good. It was only translated into English last year for the first time.
Funny Dylan & I were trying to figure out where to get that flour yesterday and he said he was just gonna have to sieve it extra!
Must look out for that book Partisan. Since he was bout 7 Dylan has wanted to move to Italy and become a chef. Strange since he was sensitive to wheat up until the last yr or so and could only eat coellaic pasta and pizzas and if you have ever had them u know they aint great.
I just use Strong flour. Readily available.
Magicme, that's the basic recipe. Use good fresh eggs, free range if possible. If it's a little dry sprinkle with a couple of drops of water. Like pizza bases etc., after kneading leave to rest for an hour or so (in clingfilm in the fridge will do nicely).
You can also freeze it. Cut portion sizes of tagliatelli, toss in a little flour, lay on a tea towel and freeze. I also batch and freeze pizza bases. Handy things to have in the freezer. Rolling/cutting pasta is great fun for kids (of all ages).
As is the pizza base, you just can't help giving it a toss into the air like you'd see on tv and in real pizzeriasQuote:

I'm sure I could improvise on the Ravioli thing.
Absolutely love Spinach & Ricotta Ravioli!
No bother obviously seasoning is to ones taste and the chicken is in cubes.Quote:

Because Yoghurt is classified as being similar to cheese in composition and Ice Cream is frozen cream which is in the milk category.
Meant to say that if you are in the English Market down home in Cork there is a stall there that sell very good fresh pasta, his sauces are very good as well. Think he's still there anyway.
The English Market is heaven for food lovers!
MMMMMMMMMMMMM... currently enjoying Curry Chips and Onion Rings :)
You sound like Bill Cullen ;)Quote:

Lambs liver is on the menu this evening. Going to look up recipe ideas for that now.
He wrote the book Penny Apples about how his life went from rags to riches. He now plans on being the first Irish man in space. Tom Dunne on Today FM is always taking the p1ss out of him and he brought out a CD called Rotten Apples - its hilarious.Quote:

can't beat boxty done the fermanagh way (we discussed this before) A lot on here have boxty as pancake type things, no way! It is half raw grated spuds(squeeze liquid and starch out) and mix with cooled boiled and mashed spuds add the starchy liquid and mix with some flour and cook like a big cake in a big dish in oven, then slice it and fry it in butter or olive oil. oh jesus i would kill for that now. i have my great-grandmother's recipe still :p
Also love lots of traditional foods and have been cooking with my greek friend lately, spinach and feta pie(slurp), chicken and rice salad(drool), these huge beans in tomato sauce(fasoli i think)
Sir Hamish was good on this topic...:(
A fav pasta of mine is a tomato sauce with baby clams, tuna, salmon and lots of garlic, onion.
Thats the way I do Boxty. Once, and you'll probably think this is sacralidge (it was a few days after xmas and I wanted to give it a seasonal twist) I substituted half the grated potato with grated Apple and mixed cinamon in with the mixture. It was very tasty indeed. With that for the meat eaters I did roast duck with a grapefruit and chilli sauce and I just had some quorn with that sauce.Quote:

This is so much better than those poxy pancakes! I remember ordering it once expecting lovely my style boxty and i got these pancakes! Was devastated!
Are the pancake type ones like Potato Farls? I have to say I like potato farls with a fry but they're not Boxty.
Nope, they are like pancakes with meat or some filling folded over, like Russian blezes I think they are called.Quote:

Helped Dylan out with his meal the other nite by making a garlic bread type thingy. Used a herby Ciabatta. Melted some butter with some garlic and spread over the split open Ciabatta and added some fresh Basil & pine nuts and closed it up and bunged it in the oven for 15 mins....was rather delicious & complimented his food well. He did a taglitaile with a lemon & parmasan sauce which was heated in a bowl above the pasta....god it was gorgeous! As for his risotto...was to die for!
Bohspartisan, my mum, sister and I are all veggie and my sister doesnt eat eggs. He was gonna do some Brownies for desert but coz of the egg thing he made it without eggs & it came out as a kinda toffee. He crumbled it up with ice cream and it was just scrummy!
Sounds nice.
Another nice desert and very very simple is to sprinkle some sugar on top of Banana halves and bake them in butter for about 10 minutes until the sugar begins to caramelise then serve with vanilla ice cream.
Or barbeque with some chocolate shavings wrapped in tin foil...yum!Quote:

I had very little time so I ran into Tesco & bought 30 pastry cases and put the mixture into the cases and served with cinnamon cream. One of the guys who was at the party was a desert/pastry chef and was badgering me all nite for the recipe coz he thought it was then nicest thing he ever ate! Must make it again sometime.
The moral of the story is that even things that seem like they are f**ked up can work out wonderful in the end and am trying to teach Dylan that its important to think on your feet like that coz u can sometimes come out on top!
