Resident chef Paula McIntyre brings you a weekly recipe in a handy digestible ten minute download. From BBC Radio Ulster.
Raspberry and Elderflower Mousse Trifle with Crunchy Oats
Raspberry mousse Raspberry and elderflower puree
150g frozen raspberries
2 heads elderflower
75g castor sugar Place the raspberries and sugar in a pan and set over medium heat. Pick the flowers from the stems in clumps and add to the pan. Cook for 5 minutes then allow to cool for an hour. Remove most of the elderflower and blend the rest to a smooth puree. Pass through a sieve to remove the seeds.
Custard Cream
3 egg yolks
50g castor sugar
10g cornflour
10g plain flour
150ml whole milk
100ml whipping cream
250ml double creamWhisk the yolks, sugar, flour and cornflour.Scald the milk and whipping cream and pour over the egg mixture, whisk well and return to the pan. Stir constantly on a medium heat until thick. Pour into a clean bowl, cover surface with cling and when cool enough chill in the fridge for a couple of hours.
Whisk the double cream to stiff peaks. Fold into the custard. Fold in three quarters of the raspberry puree.
Oaty crumble
200g porridge oats
40g butter
40g honey
40g light brown sugar
35g dates, finely chopped
45g hazelnuts, chopped
1 teaspoon vanilla extract Set oven to 160oc and line a tray with parchment paper.
Melt the butter and honey together and mix into the oats with the dates, nuts and vanilla. Spread onto the tray and bake for about 20 minutes, turning over a couple of times, or until golden. Cool.
You’ll have more than you need for the recipe but it will keep for a couple of weeks in an airtight container and is good with fruit, yoghurt or icecream. To assemble - 100g madeira sponge
50ml elderflower cordial or liqueur
150g fresh raspberries
Elderflower sprigs Cut the sponge into small dice and divide among 4 glasses.
Drizzle the cordial or liqueur over the sponge. Spoon half the raspberry mousse into the bowls and top with the remaining puree. Add the remaining mousse and sprinkle over some of the crunchy oats. Garnish with the raspberries and elderflower sprigs.

Grilled Patty Melts
500g minced beef
2 teaspoons onion powder
2 teaspoons finely chopped gherkin
2 teaspoons American mustard
½ teaspoon salt

Brush with oil and cook on a hot pan for about 3 minutes each side or until cooked through.Caramelized onions
4 red onions
2 tablespoons oil
2 teaspoons sugar
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
Salt and pepper to taste Peel the onions and cut in half through the root. Slice as thinly as you can. Heat the oil in a pan and add the onions, cook gently over a medium heat for about 10 minutes or until they’ve wilted down and are soft. Add the sugar and cook for a minute. Add the vinegar and cook until it has evaporated. Season with salt and pepper. To assemble
8 slices of bread – you could use pan loaf, granary bread or I used a seeded rye
8 slices Emmental cheese
Mustard
Mayonnaise
Ketchup
50g butter Spread the bread with mayo, mustard and ketchup. Spread over the onion mixture on each and top with a patty. Top with the cheese and then a slice of bread.
Heat the butter in a pan large enough to hold all 4 sandwiches or use 2. When the butter is melted and foaming add the sandwich and cook for about 2 minutes each side. Serve immediately.
