A Guide Book Entry We’re Proud of . . .

Glenilen Farm entry in the latest Bridgestone Irish Food Guide:

Have you seen the funky, colourful new labels on the Glenilen range?
How cool are they?  Cool as all get out!  Chic as all get out!  And to
think that we can remember back to the days when the yoghurts, creams
and cheesecakes of Glenilen Farm were brought by Valerie to the Bantry
Boy’s Club on Friday mornings in unmarked jars and tubs and containers,
when the family business was taking its first nervous steps.  You’ve
come a long way baby, and you’ve gotten better every step of the way.
Now that’s how you run a farm business, and how you create a luxury
brand: the right people; the right place; truly great products; and
passion.

Light as a feather, Coffee Swiss Roll

October 12th, 2009
We’ve made a delicious home made recipe for Coffee Swiss roll. Why not give it a try!!
Prepare a swiss roll tin with greased parchment paper.
Cake Ingredients:
3 eggs, seperated
3 oz plain flour, sifted
3 oz sugar
1tsp baking powder
1 dessertspoon Irel coffee extract
Filling:
1 tub Glenilen farm double cream
1 dessertspoon sugar
1 dessertspoon Irel coffee
Method:
Preheat oven to 180 degres.
Whisk egg whites in a spotlessly clean bowl, I find the Kenwood Chef does a great job , until stiff .
Keeping whisking and add the egg yolks followed by the sugar. You should now have a lovely light creamy foam.
Very lightly fold in the flour, not all at once, in 2 or 3 batches.
Now gently fold in the coffee and when mixed spread into tin, gently.
Bake for 10 – 15 mins until just firm to touch.
Put a clean tea towel on a cooling tray, tip the cake out onto tray , remove parchment paper and use tea towel to roll up cake. Leave to cool completely.
Whisk the cream with sugar and coffee until stiff.
Tip: if you think the whipped cream is too stiff add milk a teaspoonful at a time, until at the desired texture.
Unroll the cake , spread on the filling, roll up again.
Trim the ends, and dredge with icing sugar.
Enjoy!
It’s a firm favourite as a tea time treat in our house, and also freezes well. Could also be left flat, split and cream put in as a sandwich, and cut into squares, or alternatively bake in two small sandwich tins for a more traditional cake.

Natural Yoghurt Recipes

August 27th, 2009
We have this really easy recipe for summer BBQ’s using our Glenilen Farm Natural Yoghurt. This is really suitable for chicken or lamb.
Allow for one tablespoon of natural yoghurt per meat portion. For every 2 tablespoons of natural yoghurt mix one teaspoon of harissa paste. Spread over the meat and allow to marinate for 20 minutes (or longer if you can) and it is ready for the barbeque.
The result after you barbeque is a delicious spicy and tender meat. Serve with rice or couscous!
