Quicker Baked Potato

Try this method for speeding up the potato baking process (for a better texture than those that you microwave). Pre-heat the oven to 400. Place the potato in boiling water for 10 minutes. Bake for 30 minutes. This will cut the cooking time in half.

 

Fresh Pea Soup


soups, vegetables, irish

350 gm peas, freshly shelled
2 tablespoon butter
1 each medium-sized onion, chopped
1 each head iceberg lettuce/chopped
1 each sprig mint, chopped
1 each sprig parsley, chopped
3 each strips bacon, chopped
1 1/2 liter ham stock
1 single salt and pepper
1 single sugar
1 single chopped parsley

After shelling the peas, save the pods, wash them and put them to boil in the ham stock while preparing the soup. Heat the butter in a large saucepan and soften the onion in it, then add the lettuce, mint and parsley. De-rind and chop the bacon. Fry it for about 2 minutes, turning it from time to time; add to the saucepan with the peas, salt, pepper and a small amount of sugar. Strain the stock and add. Bring to the boil, stirring, then simmer for about half an hour until the peas are quite soft. Sive or liquidize, taste for seasonings and add a little milk or cream if needed (but not too much, for the fresh flavor must be preserved). Garnish with chopped parsley or mint.
