Welcome to the Taste Kerry publication. This is our way of showcasing some of the remarkable food and drink that Kerry produces.

The aim of this publication is to strengthen the links between everyone who creates, cooks, eats and drinks in Kerry and beyond. We want to give a strong and vibrant message that Kerry is open for business in relation to food and drink and that we have some of the best food producers and food experiences not just in Ireland, but in the world.

This publication is being brought to you by Taste Kerry which is a voluntary organisation which has set itself the following mission:

‘To create a strong, vibrant and living food identity for County Kerry. This is to be achieved by providing and supporting networks, which encourage and enable stakeholders, to engage and become more sustainable. The ultimate goal is to promote growth and profitability within the food industry.’

When it comes to food and drink producers, the individual is as important as the product, because they bring their own passion, beliefs and character to bear on what they do and they all have their respective stories to tell. In this publication this is reflected, as well as events and experiences related to food and drink in Kerry.

I am very proud to be a Kerryman (is there any other kind?) and as a chef and educationalist I could not think of a better place in the world to be than in Kerry.

I hope that this publication will give all its readers new eyes when looking at food and drink in Kerry.

Bain sult agus súp as do thuras i measc tháirgeoirí bia agus dí na Ríochta.

VALENTIA ISLAND FARMHOUSE DAIRY

A small family business on an island transforms milk from Friesian cows into rich creamy yogurt and ice cream.

Joe and Caroline Daly set up Valentia Island Farmhouse Dairy ten years ago on Valentia Island. They make and sell high-quality yogurt and ice cream to hotels in County Kerry including the 5-star Europe Hotel and Resort in Killarney.

Their products (including buttermilk) are made from the milk that comes from a herd of 70 pedigree Holstein Friesian cows who graze on Valentia Island on grasses flavoured by the wash of the Atlantic ocean.

'We add cream to our milk to make our ice cream', says Joe. 'We also have an ice cream parlour on the farm'. It's been so successful that they had to extend it in the last year. They sell pancakes and desserts with a healthy dollop of Valentia Island Farmhouse Dairy Ice Cream!

RING OF KERRY QUALITY LAMB

Both the lowland and hill lamb from sheep reared on the Ring of Kerry is iconic in food circles and loved by chefs.

Ring of Kerry Quality Lamb is produced by a co-op of just 18 sheep farmers who live around the Ring of Kerry making it unique. They market and sell their lamb direct to customers from their website, so you can be assured of both quality and traceability. You know exactly what you are buying from 'mountain to fork'. It also means that you are buying your lamb straight from the people who nurture and grow it so you know its provenance.

Ring of Kerry Quality Lowland Lamb is grass-fed and available throughout the year – the lamb is exceptionally tender.

Ring of Kerry Quality Hill Lamb, considered a delicacy, is only on sale from August to March.

Also called Kerry mountain lamb, the hill sheep graze on a more varied diet of grasses and heathers than lowland sheep which gives a distinctive, slightly stronger sweet flavour to the meat which is prized by chefs.

All Ring of Kerry Quality lamb is hung for a minimum of 7 days to mature and is Bord Bia Quality Assured.

You can buy Ring of Kerry Quality lamb online and have it delivered anywhere in Ireland, conveniently vacuum-packed and ready for the freezer. Chefs who would like to include it on their menu can get in touch through the website. ringofkerryqualitylamb.ie

PICKLED IN DINGLE + BALLYDAVID HONEY

When Marie Charland of Pickled in Dingle met her husband Fergal Murphy, an aspiring beekeeper, they formed a marriage in more ways than one.

Marie Charland, a French Canadian who came to Ireland 16 years ago, met her husband Fergal Murphy while pouring a pint for him in his local. Together they have created a little food industry between them.

Marie makes Pickled in Dingle chutneys including 'Date and Orange'; 'Butternut Squash, Apricot and Almond'; 'Pear and Red Onion' and 'Beetroot and Orange' made with beetroot grown by her friend Aidan in Castlegregory. Meanwhile Fergal has created a business from his passion for beekeeping, selling Ballydavid Honey from his hives of bees who feast on clover, fuchsia flowers, blackberries and sycamore in Ballydavid, just ten minutes west of Dingle. The honey is pale with a

delicate flavour and changes throughout the year depending on what's growing in each season. It is the ultimate local product. You'll find Pickled in Dingle chutneys and Ballydavid Honey at farmer's markets in Kerry. Try Marie's pickle and a drizzle of Fergal's honey with a piece of Béal Organic Cheese. bealorganiccheese.com

The Dingle Distillery is an artisan company dedicated to bringing back the tradition of independent distilling in Ireland. They make a pure pot-stilled malt whiskey from the finest malted barley, then store it in casks to mature. You need patience to make a good whiskey so while they are waiting for the whiskey, these prodigious people make an exceptionally pure quintuple-distilled vodka; that is it goes through 5 distillations that

no doubt enhances its creamy and slighty sweet taste on the palate. Dingle Gin is an artisan gin flavoured and scented with Kerry botanicals which are foraged locally: rowan berry from the mountain ash trees, fuchsia, abog myrtle, hawthorn and heather for a taste of the Kerry landscape. The gin is cut with water from the Dingle Distillery well. dingledistillery.ie

BEER-BRAISED KERRY BEEF

Kerry Beef is both tender and meaty and is the perfect foil for Carraig Dubh porter from the West Kerry Brewery.

OIDEAS/RECIPE

Serves 4

INGREDIENTS450g Kerry stewing beef, cut into 1" cubesSalt and freshly ground black pepper 1 tablespoon rapeseed oil 1 medium onion, finely chopped1 clove garlic, finely chopped1 medium carrot, cut into small chunks 1/2 stick celery, finely sliced 1/2 teaspoon dried fennel3 sprigs thymeZest and juice of 1 orange500ml porter2 medium tomatoes, finely chopped 2 sprigs of fresh thyme to garnish

1. Preheat the oven to 180C/350F/Gas 4 for 20 minutes.

2. Season the beef lightly with salt and freshly ground black pepper and set aside.

3. Place a tablespoon of rapeseed oil with the onion, garlic, carrot and celery in a heavy oven-proof casserole and cook over gentle heat for 10 minutes until soft and lightly coloured. Add the dried fennel, stir and cook for 2 minutes.

4. Add the beef, thyme, zest and juice of the orange and the porter. Stir to remove the sticky bits at the bottom of the casserole.

5. Place the casserole in the oven with the lid on and bake for 2 and a half to 3 hours, or until the meat is melting. Stir from time to time, adding a little water if necessary. Remove the lid from the casserole for the last half hour of cooking so the sauce can reduce and thicken.

6. Stir in the tomatoes ten minutes before the end of cooking. Garnish the stew with a few sprigs of fresh thyme and serve.

WHERE TO SOURCE KERRY INGREDIENTS FOR THIS RECIPE Use Kerry beef from any of our Kerry butchers on page 56 and 57; Carraig Dubh porter from the West Kerry Brewery (westkerrybrewery.ie) and serve with new potatoes from Ardfert potatoes (see page 60).

1. Clean the mussels and clams under lots of cold running water, discarding any that are open and that do not close easily when you gently press the shell. Remove the beards from the mussels.

2. Place the saffron in a small bowl or glass with hot water. Leave to bloom.

3. Take a large saucepan that will fit all the shellfish. Melt the butter with the rapeseed oil over a gentle heat and add the garlic and shallots. Cook until soft (2-3 minutes). Add half the parsley, the white wine and a little freshly ground black pepper.

4. Turn the heat to high and add the saffron and its soaking liquid with the mussels and clams. Put the lid on the saucepan. Cook over high heat for a few minutes until the shells open. You'll need to shake the pan a few times during cooking and halfway through, toss the shellfish with a large spoon. When all the shells are open the shellfish is cooked (discard any that have not opened).

5. Spoon the shellfish into bowls with a little of the white wine and saffron broth. Sprinkle over the remaining parsley and serve immediately.

WHERE TO SOURCE KERRY INGREDIENTS FOR THIS RECIPE You'll find the shellfish you need for this recipe at Glenbeigh Shellfish (glenbeighshellfish.ie).

You can also make this recipe with just mussels – why not try organic Irish rope mussels from Kush Shellfish (kush.ie).

It's so easy to put together a plate of cheese and cured meats when you use products that are hand-made and hand-crafted by Oliver Beaujouan of The Wild Side and Maja Beaujouan of Dingle Peninsula Cheese, who also owns The Little Cheese Shop in Dingle, County Kerry.

Oliver suggests you start by choosing his The Wild Side Kerry chorizo, which has a robust spicy flavour.

It goes perfectly with Maja's Dilliskus cheese which is threaded with local Kerry seaweed (read more about the cheesemaker on page 17).

His The Wild Side kelp, foraged locally, is pickled Asian-style with garlic and ginger and adds a piquancy to the plate.

Fish lovers will enjoy his tuna, which is smoked over wood embers.

You'll see the Frenchman in Oliver's chicken liver paté with chilli which is smooth and creamy, just the way a good classic paté should be.

WHERE TO SOURCE KERRY INGREDIENTS FOR THIS RECIPEYou'll find Dilliskus cheese in season at The Little Cheese Shop in Dingle (thelittlecheeseshop.ie); Sheridan's Cheese, Dublin 2 and Temple Bar Market on Saturday in Dublin.

Call Oliver at 087 7922468 if you would like to include his products on your menu or use them at home.

Serve the Kerry Meat and Cheese Plate with a slice of artisan bread from Bácus Bakery or if you or your guests are coeliac serve with some bread from lldiko Bajzat from Wellness Baking (see page 54).

cured meat, fish and cheese platter using their hand-made products reflecting the Kerry terroir!

OIDEAS/RECIPE

39

1. Preheat the oven to 200C/400F/Gas 6.

2. Make the gouda crisps. Line a baking tray with parchment paper. Place 8 small bundles of grated gouda on the parchment making sure they are ½ inch apart. Bake for 5 minutes until bubbly (they will spread out quite a lot). Remove from the oven and leave to cool.

3. When the gouda crisps are cold, lift them gently from the parchment paper with a spatula or palette knife. Use immediately or store in an airtight container for up to 3 days until ready to use.

4. Just before serving, mix the cream cheese with the chopped chives. Place the gouda crisps on a serving plate, top each with a spoon of chive cream cheese and place a thin fold of smoked salmon on top.

Recipe tip: If you make the gouda crisps ahead of time, refresh them for 1 minute in a hot oven to crisp them up.

WHERE TO SOURCE KERRY INGREDIENTS FOR THIS RECIPE Wilma Silvius at Killorglin Farmhouse Cheese makes a dutch-style gouda that you can use in this recipe - you'll find her on page 52 of our producer directory.

Use cream cheese from Dingle Farmhouse Cheese (see page 17).

Kerry produces some of the finest salmon in the world. Why not try Wild Smoked Irish Salmon from Quinlan's Kerry Fish (see page 24); KRD Salmon (page 54); Kenmare Smoked Salmon (kenmare-select. com) and Daly's Seafood (page 54).

GOUDA CRISPS WITH SMOKED SALMON

Pair Wilma Silvius' Killorglin Farmhouse Cheese gouda with Kerry smoked salmon and you have a canapé or starter

that would not look out of place in a fine restaurant.

OIDEAS/RECIPE

Serves 4

INGREDIENTS160g gouda, grated 100g smoked salmon cut into 8 thin slices8 teaspoons cream cheese4 chives, chopped finely

41

1. Preheat the oven to 180C/350F/Gas 4. Oil or line a square baking dish (it needs to be about 8 inches/22cm square). Set aside.

2. Spread the granola and almonds or cashews out on a large baking sheet in a single layer. Bake for 12-13 minutes, or until golden, stirring halfway through. Leave aside to cool. Leave the oven on.

3. Place the honey and butter in a non-stick pan and melt over a low heat. Remove from the heat and add the vanilla extract.

4. Gently mix the toasted nuts and granola and the dried fruit with the honey and butter mixture until you have a homogenous mixture. Press into the oiled baking dish and even out the top with a spoon. Bake for 15-17 minutes until golden. Wait ten minutes, then turn it out gently onto a board and cut into squares or oblongs.

5. While the granola bars cool, make the chocolate and fudge topping. Melt the chocolate, fudge and cream in a bowl over a pan of hot water, making sure the bowl does not touch the water. Immediately spread the chocolate mixture over the granola bars with a knife.

WHERE TO SOURCE KERRY INGREDIENTS FOR THIS RECIPE O'Donnell's Bakery, Killorglin (see page 50) makes granola that would be perfect in this recipe.

Use chocolate from Lorge Chocolatier (see page 29) or from Skelligs Chocolate (skelligschocolate.com); Dovinia Chocolate (dovinia.com) or Oileán Artisan Chocolate.

Use Fab Fudge (see page 29) for the fudge topping or add chopped slivers of Killarney toffee (page 29) to the melted chocolate.

Turn to page 60 for more chocolate producers.

CHOCOLATE FUDGE GRANOLA BARS

An ideal breakfast bar but you can also serve these decadent granola bars as a treat with a cup of tea in the afternoon.

OIDEAS/RECIPE

INGREDIENTS1 teaspoon sunflower oil to grease the baking tin300g granola100g almonds or cashews, chopped into small chunks6 tablespoons honey 4 tablespoons Kerry butter1 teaspoon vanilla extract 100g dried fruit (sultanas, apricots or cranberries), roughly chopped

For the topping:100g 60-70% chocolate50g fudge, shaved thinly or cut into fine chunks2 tablespoons cream

43

1. Place the strawberries in a saucepan with 1 tablespoon cold water. Add the sugar and rosewater and stir gently.

2. Cook over a low heat for 3-4 minutes until the strawberries give up enough juice to make a syrup. (You can do this ahead and store the strawberries in the fridge until you are ready to make up the dessert.)

3. When you are ready to serve, place the meringue cases on individual serving plates, fill them with lemon curd, spoon over the strawberries and drizzle with the rose-scented syrup left in the bowl.

WHERE TO SOURCE THE INGREDIENTS FOR THIS RECIPE If you want to make your own meringue, use Beaufort free- range eggs (page 16) and serve the dessert with cream from Valentia Island Farmhouse Dairy (see page 16).

INGREDIENTS400g strawberries, hulled and washed3 tablespoons caster sugar1/4 teaspoon rosewater4 mini-meringue cases100g lemon curd

STRAWBERRY AND ROSE MERINGUES

Use juicy sweet fragrant Sliabh Luachra strawberries grownin Currow, County Kerry. Here they are macerated with

rosewater and served with meringue and lemon curd.

1. Season the lamb chops on both sides with salt.

2. Heat a non-stick griddle pan.

3. Cook the chops over a medium to high heat for 3-4 minutes on the first side until golden all over, then turn and cook for 2-3 minutes on the second side. Remove to a plate, sprinkle with freshly ground black pepper, loosely cover with tin foil and leave to rest.

4. While the lamb is resting, mix the softened butter with the capers and mint.

5. Serve the lamb chops on a large serving plate dotted with little knobs of the caper and mint butter.

WHERE TO SOURCE THE INGREDIENTS FOR THIS RECIPE You can buy Ring of Kerry Quality Lamb online for delivery nationwide at ringofkerryqualitylamb.ie or visit any of the butchers listed in our directory at page 56.

You'll find vegetables to go with Ring of Kerry Quality Lamb at Manna Organic Farm and Store (mannaorganicstore.ie). They sell organic vegetables grown in fine Kerry soil from their 25-acre farm in the Gleann na nGealt Valley near Camp, County Kerry.

Use local Kerry Lee Strand salted butter.

Serves 4

INGREDIENTS 1 rack of lamb with 8 chops Salt Freshly ground black pepper

For the caper and mint butter: 100g softened butter 2 teaspoons capers 8 mint leaves, finely chopped

1. Make the dressing: place the apple juice in a saucepan. Cook over medium heat, making sure it doesn't burn, until reduced in half. Remove from the heat and leave to cool a little. Add the mustard and whisk well. Add the lemon juice and whisk again until smooth.

2. Heat the rapeseed oil in a non-stick frying pan. Add the black pudding slices in two batches and cook over medium heat, on both sides, until golden.

3. While the black pudding is frying, make the caramelised apples. In a non-stick frying pan, melt the butter, add the demerara sugar and cook over a gentle heat for a minute or two until bubbling. Stir well. Add the apple slices and cook over gentle heat until lightly golden on both sides but still holding their shape.

4. To serve: divide the rocket leaves between four plates; place 2 pieces of black pudding on each plate; add 4 slices of apple and drizzle over the dressing.

WHERE TO SOURCE THE INGREDIENTS FOR THIS RECIPE See page 19 for Sásta Black Pudding.

You'll find stockists of Annascaul Black Pudding at annascaulblackpudding.com

Read more about Ring of Kerry Apple Juice on page 27.

Instead of adding the Dijon mustard and lemon to the dressing, why not use Camo's honey and mustard dressing (see page 21) instead: add 1 tablespoon to the reduced apple juice mixture.

You can buy rocket leaves and salad leaves from Aidan's Garden (see page 60).

BLACK PUDDING AND APPLE SALAD

Kerry producers – including Sásta, Annascaul, Leah's, Micilín Muc and Byrne's of Sneem – make some of the best black pudding in the world.

Add Ring of Kerry Apple Juice and Camo's Honey and Mustard dressing and you have a real taste of Kerry.
