Donal Skehan's Pan-Fried Boxty

potatoes

🥗Healthier: sweet potatoes

💰Cheaper: frozen hash browns

Sweet potatoes add nutrients and flavor, while frozen hash browns save prep time.

butter

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Olive oil is healthier, while margarine is often less expensive.

milk

🥗Healthier: almond milk

💰Cheaper: water

Almond milk is lower in calories, and water can be used for a lighter batter.

flour

🥗Healthier: whole wheat flour

💰Cheaper: all-purpose flour

Whole wheat flour adds fiber, while all-purpose is often more affordable.

Slice the apple into thin matchsticks.

Squeeze lemon juice over the apple to prevent browning.

Add fris lettuce to the bowl with the apple.

Drizzle extra virgin olive oil, sea salt, and black pepper into the salad.

Mix the salad using your hands.

Coat the egg in flour, then dip it into beaten egg, and finally coat it in breadcrumbs.

Heat sunflower oil to 180° C for deep frying.

Deep fry the coated egg until golden and crispy.

Slice the black pudding into chunky slices.

Pan fry the black pudding in a drizzle of olive oil until sizzling.

Heat the boxty in the pan alongside the black pudding.

Plate the dish by placing the boxty on the bottom, followed by a slice of black pudding, the crispy poached egg, and the apple salad on top.

Garnish with cress.
