Three Super Smoothies from Donal Skehan

Smoothies are a great way to get that burst of vitamins you need in the morning, especially when using superfoods like kale (balanced here with zingy lime juice). Frozen fruit smoo-thies are great for kids, as the vibrant colours look super-appealing. Other fantastic smoo-thie ingredients include almond butter for added richness and oats to help fill you up for the day.

Spiced Fish with Mango Salsa and Brown Rice Salad

Donal Skehan's Spiced Fish with Mango Salsa

I regularly make this spicy charred fish as the filling for fish tacos. Combined with a cooling sweet mango salsa and a fresh tasting brown rice salad it becomes a hearty yet fresh dinner. Most of the elements can be prepared in advance but only cook the fish when you are ready to serve.

Coconut Macaroons: Donal Skehan

Crunchy on the outside and chewy in the middle, a good coconut macaroon is an irresistible thing. They are also suitable for freezing. To pimp them up, dip or drizzle the baked macaroons with melted dark chocolate.

Pomegranate Molasses Chicken with Roasted Vegetable Bulgur Salad

Pomegranate Molasses Chicken, Bulgur Salad: Skehan

Roast chicken in any guise tends to grab my attention and this ruby red, glistening one is rather easy to prepare. If you haven’t used pomegranate molassses before it is a worthwhile store cupboard ingredient. I use it mainly in beetroot hummus, where it adds both sweet and slightly sour notes, but it is its thick treacle-like consistency that makes it an ideal glaze for meats, particularly chicken.

Donal Skehan's sweet potato shepherdless pie

The many Shepards pies I ate during my childhood have nothing on this vegetarian version, which is packed with nutrient-filled ingredients like spinach, sweet potato and quinoa. Co-conut oil is the trendy new health ingredient but, fads aside, I use for its exotic sweet flavour and the silky texture it lends to the sweet potato mash.

Tiger's Milk Sea Bass Ceviche with Quinoa Salad

Sea Bass Ceviche with Quinoa Salad: Donal Skehan

The idea of fish marinated in fruit juice might seem like an odd combination but ceviche is having a moment, and rightly so. A fresh and vibrant traditional recipe from South America, it relies on the acidity of lime to cure the fish and infuse it with intense flavour.With only a handful of ingredients, the results are fairly impressive.

Donal Skehan's Crackerjacks

Donal says, "There are certain tastes that instantly transport you back to being a kid. My aunt Erica used to bring us trays of flapjacks when she looked after us and I've loved them ever since.

Barmbrack Parfit with Whiskey Prunes

This is a very smart dessert that everyone will think you’ve spent ages making. Of course you can spike the prunes with any alcohol but I love the combination of prunes with Irish whiskey.
