Beets in cous cous with goats cheese, more balsamic vin, olive oil and a sprinkling of dried mint , yellow carrot & cabbage slaw. And a spud. Got all of the veg from @mcnallyfamilyfarm last week and it has been dreamy 😋#elbowsoffthetable #onmyplate #irishfoodie . . . #lambchops #couscous #slaw #dinnerinspo #whitecabbage #beetroot #irishfoodblogger #eattheseasons #irishfoodblogger #dinnertime

Today’s lunch ... not gona lie, it was yuuummmy, and and really quick to throw together. A big dollop of wild garlic run through wholemeal cous cous, with @mcnallyfamilyfarm purple kale, pan fried halloumi and topped with some toasted seeds and a drizzle of olive oil. The cous cous took about 5 minutes sitting in boiling water , cheese took about 3/4 minutes on a hot pan. I drizzled olive oil , a pinch of salt and a squeeze of lemon juice on the kale and massaged the leaves , again for about 5 mins, to break them down so they were nice and tender. The seeds give a little texture and crunch to finish the dish. #elbowsoffthetable #onmyplate . . #mcnallyfamilyfarm #kale #wildgarlicpesto #purplekale #halloumi #lunch #irishfoodie #irishfoodblogger #eattherainbow #immunityboost #slowfood #slowlivingforlife #whatsforlunch #farmersmarketfood

🍋Lemon Squares Recipe🍋 Another well worn recipe from my @leonrestaurants cookbook which I pulled out on Friday with Josh. He is great at cracking eggs but even better at washing up! A gooey indulgent treat .... . Ingredients 280g plain flour, plus an extra 35g 80g icing sugar 1 tsp salt 225g butter (unsalted if you have it) 4 free-range eggs 350g sugar Juice of 3 big lemons or 120ml Zest one 1 lemon 1 tsp baking powder Icing sugar to finish Preheat oven to 170. Make the shortbread base first. In a food mixer combine 280 flour, icing sugar, salt and cold butter until crumbly. Mix until it just forms a ball. Careful that the butter doesn’t get too warm in the appliance , consider using pulse or pausing it every 20 seconds or so. Press the mix into your tin. I use a 20x20cm baking tin but approx 20 x30 good too. Bake it the oven for 20-25 mins or until golden and set & leave to cool. This can even be made the day before. Now for the topping. Beat eggs. Add sugar, lemon juice and zest. Sift in 35g flour and baking powder and stir through. Spread over cooled base. Return to oven for 25-30 until just set. Cool completely in tin. Dredge with icing sugar when cool. Keeps for 3 days in airtight container. These are definitely a treat but are sure to make this stormy day a bit brighter 🍋🍋🍋. #lemonbars #baking #slowsunday #homemadedessert #bakeityourself #lemoncake #lemonsquares #lovelemon #bakingfromscratch #athome #inmykitchen #elbowsoffthetable #irishfoodblogger #irishfoodie #lovegoodfood #homemade #stormciara #leonrecipe
