DessertsSieve flour, baking powder and icing sugar into a large bowl. Rub in the butter until it resembles breadcrumbs. Whisk the milk, cream and egg together (hold back some of this for glazing). Bring the wet and dry ingredients together, use a butter knife to mix. Mix the zest and juice of two oranges into the mixture. Gently mix the chocolate chips/grated chocolate through the mixture. Tip the mixture out onto a floured table, push down gently to about 1 1/2 -2 inches in height. Cut out with a cutter or cut into squares with a knife.

Coddle
Jp McMahon and Drigin Gaffney have created a space to showcase the diverse and great tasting foods of local producers, farmers and fishermen in the Michelin Starred Aniar Restaurant. Wild and seasonal local foods are key. Coddle, or Dublin coddle to be more precise, is a dish made up of leftover sausages and bacon. Traditionally, the sausages and bacon were cut up and combined with onions and potatoes and left to stew in a light broth. Though often unappetizing to look at, the dish was made famous by several Irish writers, from Jonathan Swift to James Joyce and Seán O’Casey. Modern versions include barley and carrots. It is essentially a dish that grew out of poverty and famine and then migrated into the working-class areas of Dublin at the beginning of the twentieth century to become a dish of central importance to the people who lived there. Often it contained a drop of Guinness (or it was eaten with plenty of pints and soda bread). It is said that the housewives would prepare the coddle during the day and it would sit on the stove until the men returned home from the pub. The word itself is derived from the verb ‘to coddle’ or ‘to cook’ (from French caulder). With its associations of poverty, it is surprising to find ‘authentic’ recipes, especially given the status of the dish as being made with whatever leftovers were to hand (as in pig’s trotters/feet, pork ribs, etc.). Some associate it with the Catholic Church’s insistence of abstaining from meat on a Friday. Coddle was a way of using up the bacon and sausages on a Thursday. In this recipe, I fry the ingredients before covering them with the stock, but traditionally they were just layered and simmered until cooked. -
