Spaghetti with home made pesto


You probably always thought that pesto is something difficult to prepare, and probably, knowing your brain limitations, you are also right.
But for smart, successful and beautiful people like me, pesto is just another easy thing to do.
So here is what you need for 2/4 people:
GOOD olive oil, no that shite you have in your kitchen!
GOOD Parmesan or Pecorino or both,
1 garlic,
around 30 leaves of fresh basil,
some pine nuts.


 Ok so, pour around 100 ml of olive oil into a container.

Add all the basil, the garlic and the pine nuts.

The white thing is not an electric dildo, it's an hand blender and you need it to mix the ingredients.

You can also use this instead of the blender, but I assumed you are a poor little ignorant who does not have one of those.
Me I have a beautiful one, you? As I thought...


Mix for few seconds until you have a smooth green cream.
Then it's time to great some Parmesan.

This is enough

Add the Parmesan and mix with a fork.

That's it! Pesto is done, now put it in the fridge to rest for some time.

 Cook your spaghetti and when ready, drain the pasta, turn off the fire and add the pesto.

Here we go, spaghetti with home made pesto.

Spaghetti prawns and clams

This recipe is for 4 people, you probably don't have 3 friends, so just do a bit of calculation or simply go to Mac Donalds and die there.

So, go out and buy 2kg of clams (here in Ireland it costs like if you are paying a fucking weekend with an escort in Dubai, but don't worry, just go at the cashier like this and everything will be fine. ).

Put the clams, in a bowl with water and salt, then put the bowl in the fridge, from 6 hours to one night.
This way, the clams will release most of the sand they have inside.

After this, take the clams out of the water and put them in a pan with nothing else.

Cover and start the fire

After 5 -10 minutes all the clams are open, so turn off the fire.
Prepare the prawns, if they have shells on, remove them. Also you should remove the intestine unless you like to eat shit obviously. 
To remove the intestine from a prawn, Just Fucking Google It.


Remove the clams from their water (don't throw away this water you idiot, cause it is the main flavor of this dish!!!!!!!!!!!, if you do, throw yourself away as well.)
Remove the clams from their shells.

Filter the clams water (it still contains a bit of sand).

Now, take another pan and put olive oil, garlic, parsley and chilly.
Start the fire medium strength.

Add the prawns after 5 minutes.

After 2 minutes, add the clams.

After 3 minutes, add Cherry tomatoes cut in half and half a glass of white wine and put the fire high strength. 

When the wine is gone add the clams water filtering again. then leave to cook for a good 10 minutes so that the water will reduce by more than a half, then turn off the fire.



Cook spaghetti. keep tasting the spaghetti, don't let them cook too much.

Voila, mix the spaghetti with clams and prawns on the fire, then serve in a dish and add a bit of chilly oil.

Eat it with a good white wine!

Best Pizzas in Dublin

Hey fuckers, believe it or not even in Dublin there are decent pizza to eat.


This is the not ordered list of the best places. Of course is only my opinion, but as you may already know, your opinion count less than 0, so stop trying to think with your own head and follow me like a sheep that you are.

Ciao Bella Roma


Here you have a good pizza, for decent price. Always try to go for the lunch deal, it's around 10 euro with a starter, a full tasty pizza and a glass of wine.
Pizza to order : Diavola with gorgonzola, then ask for parmesan and chili oil that you need to distribute  over your pizza.

Paulie's Pizza


This is the closest napoletan pizza you can find in Dublin. You need to book because it is always full.
Pizza to order : check the board.

Manifesto


The pizza here is extremely good. The pizza maker is from salerno, and he knows his job. Also if you are lucky, at some point he will go through tables launching pizzas in the air and doing his show. Hopefully he will finish the show launching the pizza in your face.
Pizza to order : Don Corleone or any pizza containing the fennel sausage (classic italian sausage not the white soft shit you find in Tesco)

Toffoli


I love this place and the pizza they do and wine. It is a bit expensive, but it worth the money.
Pizza to order : Anything with gorgonzola, if you don't like gorgonzola, anything with horse shit, cause I know you like it.

Tiramisu like mia mamma


To prepare the Tiramisu like mia mamma you need 120 grams of sugar, 4 eggs, some rum, mascarpone, savoiardi, cacao and my mom.

So, prepare 120 grams of sugar

Make 3 long coffees and put them in a bowl adding 4 spoons of good rum (what?you only have cheap spar shite??Jesus spend the fucking money for something good for God's sake).



Ok, now, take 4 eggs and divide the yellow from the white



Get ready with the Mascarpone.


Mix the yolks for a good 5 minutes. Then add all the sugar and keep mixing for another 5 minutes.
Then add all the Mascarpone and guess what!! keep mix for another 5 minutes!


Now we do the white. Add a pinch of salt and mix until you see the snow in the bowl which is after a minimum 3-5 mins max speed. If you are Irish you may have only seen rain in your life, so have a look here for a picture of snow


If after a few minutes, you see something similar as the picture below, then stop mixing otherwise take inspiration from Kurt Cobain and help humanity.
To check if the snow is ready, try to upside down the bowl, if it stay attached to the bowl then it's ready.


HAhahaha,  don't tell me you really put the bowl upside down....now you need to kick your dog in the balls and clean the floor you idiot.


Here we go, the yellow done and the white done.


Now we need to mix them. Add a bit of white  at a time and ALWAYS mix from down to up.


Keep adding the white until all is in the bowl with the yellow.


You need to use the Savoiardi. There is no other biscuits you can use!! 


Now, it's simple. You take a container and:
You dive completely one biscuit into the coffee for about 5 secs and then you put it in the tray. You keep going until you cover all the base of the tray. 
Once this is done, you cover all the Savoiardi biscuits with half of the cream you prepared before.
Then cover with dark chocolate powder.


Then do another Savoiardi layer (remember to put them in the coffee for 5 secs, if you don't have enough coffee prepare some more or add a bit of water).



Cover again with the rest of the cream and chocolate powder.


Put the Tiramisu in the fridge for at least 6 hours before eating it.

Quiche Lorraine like a French chef or how to impress your imaginary girlfriend for Valentine's day

Today we feel pretty generous and  have decided to teach you how to cook an unmissable Quiche Lorraine the real French way. This recipe comes from a real French chef notoriously known to throw steaks at whoever would enter his kitchen without being cordially invited. 
So feel blessed.

First you will need to lay down some puff pastry in a baking tin. As I highly doubt you know how to make the pastry from scratch, just opt for the ready to use ones available at any "good" Tesco stores. Ah, and you will need a rolling-pin and NO, you cannot use it as a vibrator when not needed in the kitchen. Time for you to get a proper kitchen for God's sake !


Cut the edges - do not use your nail scissors please.


And poke with a fork...




Then, place in the oven (185°Celsius) for 15 minutes ( I know you might feel shocked at the sight of this utterly modern oven, just breath calmly and wait for a few minutes before looking back at your own) 


At mid-cooking, press a fork on the dough to keep it flat.



Once cooked, remove from the oven (use gloves, it is hot. Think of when you throw frozen pizza in the oven - same process) and flatten once again with the back of a fork. 
Don't go away, it is not finished and no, you are not allowed to spread some backed beans on this.



Here is what you need to prepare the mixture that will go on top of the pastry : 25 cl of creme fraiche (not sour cream, not skimmed whatever, not soy. Creme fraiche, full fat, real taste), cooked ham, some bacon strips (or pancetta), 4 eggs (preferably hens eggs but if all you have is horse eggs it'll be as fine), and grated Emmental (can be found at Fresh. DO NOT SUBSTITUTE WITH CHEDDAR or you will end up with a sticky ball of oily cheese floating on the quiche)









First pour the cream 


Add 2 full eggs


And 2 egg yolks 


Then pour the milk. 


Cook the bacon strips on medium heat with a nut of butter ( I know, it is a gas cooker, amazing)


Take one slice of cooked ham


Dice it


And pour the cooked bacon strips and the diced ham on the cooked pastry


Add the eggs-milk-cream mixture



And the grated cheese of top (make it even, don't throw a ball of cheese in the middle !) Season with pepper, salt and nutmeg (I know, you have no idea what nutmeg is.)


Cook for 20 minutes in the same futuristic oven as the one used before



Meanwhile enjoy a glass of real wine - or On-sale Tesco crap for what it's worth anyway. I recently found out that a bottle of wine sees its price multiplied by an average of 4 between Italy/France and Ireland. Thank you Rip-off Dublin. But nobody cares anyway because everybody drinks odd strawberry-flavored white from California.



Your French style Quiche Lorraine is ready. Enjoy with a side salad.
Bon appétit !
