YOU Magazine Fashion Beauty Celebrity Health Life Relationships Horoscopes Food Interiors Travel Home Food Clodagh McKenna recipes Simple yet spectacular dishes to make every day special By You Magazine - October 18, 2020 Lacking dinner inspiration? Try these super weekday supper recipes from Clodagh Mckenna’s brilliant new cookbook Clodagh’s Weeknight Kitchen. Dora Kazmierak Huevos rancheros This Mexican recipe is known as a brunch dish, but I also love it as a midweek supper. The tomatoes are stewed with the red peppers, garlic, chilli and gooey eggs and topped with peppery flat-leaf parsley and creamy feta cheese. You can also add spinach, chard, kale, grated courgettes and olives. Serve with sourdough toasts. Dora Kazmierak GET THE RECIPE Lamb chops with crushed peas mint jus and pan-fried potatoes I just love a juicy lamb chop! My recipe is a classic, as that’s how I like them best. I always have frozen peas in the freezer and a few potatoes lying around, so it makes this whole dish very easy. If you want to jazz it up a bit, you can add crushed fennel to the lamb chops, or cream up your frozen peas by whizzing them with crème fraîche, lime and coriander. Dora Kazmierak GET THE RECIPE Chicken mushroom and kale pie This recipe requires four individual pie dishes. You can make the filling a day ahead then assemble the pie a couple of hours before serving. Dora Kazmierak GET THE RECIPE Prawn laksa with rice noodles Sometimes there is nothing better than a warming bowl of simple noodle soup. This prawn laksa is ready in just 15 minutes, and so easy to make. The creamy coconut base balances the heat from the chilli and red curry paste. I like to add a couple of pak choi to the dish – pop them in after you have added the stock and coconut milk. You could also add chard, kale or spinach. Dora Kazmierak GET THE RECIPE Steak with creamy mushroom linguine You can make the creamy mushroom sauce ahead or swap the rosemary for tarragon. Dora Kazmierak GET THE RECIPE Baked eggs with ham cream nutmeg and thyme I serve this with warmed crunchy bread on the side to scoop into the creamy baked eggs. You can also use pancetta instead of ham, but fry it off beforehand. One of my other variations is a tomato-based sauce spiced with harissa, with a crumble of feta and some chopped olives. Smoked salmon with spinach, cream and a sprinkle of lemon zest is also delicious. Dora Kazmierak GET THE RECIPE Indian coconut and tomato fish curry You can also use chicken, beef, prawns or hearty vegetables such as aubergines, courgettes or tofu. It freezes well, so I double the recipe and freeze half for when I want a day off cooking. Dora Kazmierak GET THE RECIPE Marsala and star anise poached pears I created this recipe after the first harvest of honey from our beehives, when the pears were ripe and ready to be picked from the orchard, and it’s become an autumn favourite. At other times of year, I swap out the pears for whatever fruits are in season, such as peaches or plums. Marsala wine is a must for your pantry as it’s so good for poaching fruit, adding a delicious rich sweetness.
