You Can Cook Too 14 - Peperonata

Patricia shows you how to make peperonata, a vegatarian Italian dish that serves 6-8 as a side dish.

She pairs it with Allegri’s Miserere, which was considered so sacred transcription of it was banned by the Pope. Yet another thing ruined by Mozart.

 

1 onion sliced

2 red peppers

2 green peppers

6 large ripe tomatoes peeled and chopped

Clove garlic crushed

1 tabsps. oil

Few leaves fresh basil or dried mixed herbs

Salt, black pepper and sugar to taste

Heat the oil and add garlic and dried herbs. After a few seconds add the onion and when softened add the peppers cut into strips. Coat with oil and continue to cook. Then add the tomatoes and season. Cook for about 30 mins. It may seem that there isn’t very much liquid but it develops with cooking.

I do this in a covered pan/casserole and remove lid if there is too much liquid, as cooking progresses.

Great for vegetarians with grated cheese scattered over it.

TRSI 33 - In the blood

Michael discusses the idea that you can now remove the biological parents from a child's birth-cert, and asks if this will be seen as cruel in 30 years; Lorraine Clifford-Lee's political problems and how offence archaeology will leave us with no-one interesting wanting to be politicians; and how the comments of FG by-election candidate Verona Murphy got twisted.

TRSI 32 - A week of madness in review

Gary and Michael talk children and how they know nothing about politics, SF and their call for a referendum on a united Ireland as their price for the next government; new polls; how Twitter's ban on political advertising will make everything worse; the Journal and the usage of fact-checks as weapons; and a new stupid suggestion from an Irish human rights NGO.

You Can Cook Too 12 - Cheat's Sherry Trifle

Patricia shows you how to make a quick and easy sherry trifle, which must be served in a glass bowl.

She pairs it with Hank William's song Your Cheating Heart.

 

Ingredients and Instructions

Serves 6-8

Maderia cake (about ½ of a shop bought cake)

8 ozs (225g) best raspberry jam melted or unmelted

5 fl.ozs. (150 mls.) sherry (dry, medium or sweet)

15 fl.ozs (425 mls) double cream whipped

2-3 tablespoons fresh fruit to match the jam

Custard: 1½ pints (845 mls) packet/tin of premade custard

Garnish: 1 ozs. (25 gms. flaked almonds) – I like mine toasted

Sugared flower petals (Optional – white rose petals dipped in egg white and

dredged with caster sugar, leave to dry on non-stick parchment for 24 hours)

Pomegranate seeds or a cluster of fresh fruit in the centre

Put the sliced or broken up cake into a GLASS bowl and up the sides. Pour the jam over it so that it runs down between the cracks in the cake base. Put the fruit over it, then sherry and then the custard. Pick the base with a fork to ensure that the sherry and custard seep down. Chill, then cover with whipped cream. I refer the cream to look rough rather than flat. Decorate with toasted almonds and pomegranate seeds. You could also put a bunch of fruit in the middle. It looks great. It doesn’t need any pouring cream.
