Scoil Naomh Cualán 6th class of 2020

The boys and girls of 6th class 2020 met up for an afternoon recently.  They had a game of soccer and a catchup with their teacher Ms. Glendon.  After this each of them were presented with a hoodie with all their names on it. Many thanks to Mr Small and the parents association of Scoil Naomh Cualán who very kindly made this happen. We would like to wish all the boys and girls the very best as they take on the next chapter in their education.  Also we’d also like to wish Ms. Glendon the very best of luck in her new post in Barnane school.

Recipe supplied by Gráinne Fahy. For more tasty recipes follow on Facebook  www.facebook.com/grafahey/
Ingredients

  • 2 large tomatoes, chopped
  • 3 onions, chopped
  • 6 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 6 chicken breasts, sliced
  • 2 tbsp of thyme leaves (dried or fresh)
  • 2 tbsp coriander, chopped
  • Juice of one lemon
  • 0.5 cup of balsamic vinegar
  • 0.5 cup of Worcestershire sauce
  • Salt and Pepper
  • 200g mushrooms
  • 3 tbsp Olive Oil
  • 4 tbsp sugar
  • 1.5 cup of water
  • 0.5 cup ketchup
  • 2 handfuls of mangetout
  • 2 handfuls of spinach

Method

  1. Place chicken, tomatoes, onions, garlic, thyme leaves, coriander, balsamic vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper and lemon juice in a large bowl or Pyrex dish. Cover with lid and place in the fridge for at least one hour or over night.
  2. Heat a large pan or skillet on a medium heat on the hob/stove top. Add the oil and allow to heat through.
  3. Add the sugar to the pan and continue to stir until dissolved fully. Sugar should start to caramelise and turn brown. At this point remove chicken from marinade with a slotted spoon and add to the pot. Turn heat up to high and brown chicken on all sides, making sure not to let it burn. Be extremely careful with the hot sugar and oil, it can give a very nasty burn to the skin.
  4. Once the chicken is browned add the mushrooms and continue to stir fry for 3-5 mins. Now add the remaining marinade and ingredients from the Pyrex dish. 
  5. Allow to bubble on a medium heat for about 5 mins. Next add the water and ketchup, turn heat to high and bring to the boil. Once boiling, reduce heat to simmer and place lid on pot for 20 minutes.
  6. Continue to stir regularly during this time. When 20 mins with lid on has elapsed, remove lid and increase heat very slightly and allow to gently bubble with lid off for a further 20 mins or until sauce has reduced and forms a sticky consistency. If getting too dry, add some more boiling water.
  7. Now add the spinach and mangetout to the pot and allow to bubble for a further 5 mins. 
  8. You are now ready to serve. I usually do so with boiled brown rice or it would also be delicious with crusty bread.
  9. Enjoy! X
