Clonlin Blog Break

Dear Blog followers,

let me first say sorry, you might have noticed the past few days no news from me.
It was a awful busy time for me at work but also at home, so I take a little time-out from blogging until the end of the month.

I am working hard to get my first cookbook finished before Xmas and some other projects are in the pipeline.

Please stay tuned, sign up here on the right via Email,
and I will be back in October with fresh topics, new recipes, and funny stories !

Cheers
your Clonlin

Bernerwuerstel

The weather is supposed to be better again in Ireland, so if you don't want to spend much time in the kitchen, here a simple and delicious way to make a simple dish like a frankfurter sausage a bit tastier.
In Austria we have a sausage style called Berner Wuerstl, all you need is a simple Frankfurter (Wiener) sausage, Serrano ham and pieces of any cheese really.

Make some slices in the sausage, wrap the ham around and cook it in the pan. I usually serve some vegetables with it.

Recipe: Frog Legs a la Provencale

Since my first trip to China and south of France I discovered how tasty frog legs are, and there are so many tasty ways how to prepare them.

Taste wise frog legs taste very similar to chicken wings, here a French recipe I tried recently.

First thaw the frozen frog legs slowly in milk, than dry them off well. Coat them in flour, melt butter in a frying pan and add the frog legs. Careful the frogs open their legs once they are in contact in the hot butter, so be careful that they don't push each other out of your pan if you have placed to many of them in it.

Cook them for 7 to 8 Minutes on the hottest setting while stirring regular. Then dust with a mixture of minced garlic and parsley, add salt and pepper and serve warm with salad or rice.

Enjoy !

Are not the simplest things the best ?

Recipe: Marinated Mackerel

Recipe: Kiwi sorbet

Time for a summer recipe, even if the summer in Ireland seems to be on holiday somewhere else...

for 6 portions you need:
5 Kiwis
1 spoon honey
half a lemon
1 spoon brown sugar
a splash of water

Skin and slice the kiwi, add the other ingredients and blend so you get a smooth purée. put it in little cups and let it freeze for about 40 Minutes, if it gets to frozen its difficult to eat.

Enjoy your self-made Kiwi sorbet,
was Easy to make, wasn't it ?
