#COOKwithNeven

SUPPLIER SPOTLIGHT

Neven travelled to Italy to meet our Award Winning Parmigiano Reggiano producer, Caseficio Boiardo.

Our award winning Simply Better Parmigiano Reggiano is matured for a minimum of 30 months. This age profile delivers a wonderful aromatic, hard crumbly cheese bursting with flavour. Neven travelled to Italy earlier this year to meet our producer Caseficio Boiardo, in the Reggio Emilia region of Northern Italy to learn more about how our award winning cheese is produced.

Parmesan cheese can only be produced in four regions of Northern Italy. The production methods for our Parmigiano Reggiano date back 70 years and these methods are still employed today. The strict rules set out by the Parmigiano Reggiano Consortium state the cheese can only be produced in the morning time, using evening milk from the day previous and morning milk from the same day.

The cheese must only be made in copper vats and stirred with wooden paddles, all Parmesan Cheese is handmade and only milk from the four regions can be used to make the cheese.

Hello and welcome to the third edition of our Simply Better Cook with Neven Maguire Magazine.This magazine contains a range of my favourite Italian recipes using a selection of products from the Simply Better Italian Collection.

I was delighted to have the opportunity to travel to Italy earlier this year to meet some of the fantastic producers who supply their products to the Simply Better Italian Collection. Their passion and commitment for creating these delicious products has inspired me to create the selection of recipes in this magazine.

We hope you enjoy the recipes and if you would like to cook along with me, you can follow the steps from my Simply Better recipe videos which will be available on www.dunnesstores.com.

4 Tbsp Simply Better Italian Basil Pesto

4 Simply Better Fresh Irish Corn Fed Chicken Breast Fillets

8 Simply Better Italian Sun Dried Tomatoes, roughly chopped

8 Simply Better Dry Cured Whiskey Smoked Irish Streaky Rashers or 1 pack of Simply Better Italian Prosciutto Di Parma

Rustic mixed potatoes:

450g Rooster Potatoes, scrubbed

225g Sweet Potatoes, scrubbed

1 Fresh Rosemary Sprig, broken into tiny sprigs

Simply Better Atlantic Sea Salt & Organic Herbs

2 Tbsp Simply Better Sicilian DOP Val Di Mazara Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Method  1. Plunge the penne into a large pot of boiling salted water and cooked for

8-10 minutes or according to the packet instructions, until al dente (tender but firm to bite).

2. Heat a frying pan over a medium heat and add the pine nuts. Cook for a few minutes, until lightly toasted, tossing occasionally to prevent them from burning. Tip into a bowl and set aside.

3. Add 1 tablespoon of the oil to the frying pan and sauté the onion, garlic and thyme for 2-3 minutes, until softened and just beginning to colour. Tip into a bowl and set aside.

4. Add the remaining tablespoon of oil to the frying pan, and then add the chicken strips. Cook for 2-3 minutes and season lightly, then turn over and cook for another 2-3 minutes, until cooked through and lightly golden. Return the onion mixture to the frying pan, stirring until well combined. Stir in the crème fraiche and mustard, then bring to a gentle simmer but do not allow the mixture to boil.

5. Drain the pasta and return it to the pan. Pour in the creamy chicken mixture and add the rocket or watercress. Toss lightly together to combine and season to taste.

6. Divide among warmed bowls and sprinkle over the toasted pine nuts. Drizzle over the chilli oil, if using and garnish with the Parmesan shavings to serve.

Method  1. Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F/Gas Mark 6). Mix together the

mozzarella, pesto and sundried tomatoes. Cut a slit into the side of each chicken breast and then stuff with the pesto - covered cheese. Wrap each stuffed chicken breast with 2 bacon rashers or slices of prosciutto di parma, not too tightly, but enough to hold the chicken together. Season with salt and pepper.

2. To make the rustic mixed potatoes, cut the potatoes and sweet potatoes into 5mm (¼in) slices - a Japanese mandolin is perfect for doing this - and arrange in a single layer on a large roasting tray lined with parchment paper. Add the garlic and rosemary and season with salt. Drizzle over the oil and toss until evenly coated. Nestle the pesto-stuffed chicken breasts in the potatoes and roast for 20 - 25 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and the bacon is crispy. Remove the chicken from the oven and rest in a warm place for 5 minutes. Return the potatoes to the oven in that time for a final crisp-up.

3. To serve, arrange the pesto-stuffed chicken breasts on warmed serving plates with steamed French green beans and the rustic mixed potatoes.
