Glazed Baby Turnips & Garden Peas with Basil Cream Sauce
How to make glazed baby turnips and garden peas with basil cream sauce. The transitional period from summer to autumn in Ireland offers an array of exciting and vibrant ingredients. There’s leafy greens and freshness but also some heartier root vegetables hitting shelves. I wanted to create something that was vibrant and celebratory of the season that we’re currently in. This makes a wonderful side dish or a veg-focused main to share.
Salmorejo
Salmorejo is one of my favourite dishes to make when summer tomatoes are ripe and ready. This Andalusian soup is served cold, and is a fantastic way to use up leftover ingredients that you have in the pantry. Stale bread works wonderfully well to give it a velvety-smooth texture. It is the perfect example of simplicity at its best.
Obsidian Oil
This oil is based on the Japanese practice of adding an aromatic element to a dish, something that plays on your sense of smell as well as your sense of taste. The mayu - a burnt garlic oil - goes against everything you know about cooking, and yet it’s incredible, akin to the taste of black truffle. Coupled with the citrus fruits, this oil is complex and full of surprises.
