CIRCA - Hake, Chorizo, White Beans

Since their opening in 2019, Circa have grown from strength to strength, holding both a Michellin Bib Gourmand and plate. Based in Terenure, Circa have a beautifully intimate bistro ran by Head Chef Darryl and Restaurant Manager Peter Cunneen. They offer both a tantalising set and tasting menu (highly recommended!). Alternatively, if you are more of a casual day-time diner, they also offer a delectable brunch. Expect a fare fusing French and Global influences with high quality, locally-sourced Irish produce.

Light and Healthy Chicken Alfredo This alfredo is a much lighter take on the traditional version, using low fat creme fraiche in place of cream, and reducing the amount of parmesan cheese. There is also the addition of chicken, which provides some protein, and semi-sundried tomatoes for flavour and freshness!
Sweetcorn Fritters with Gently Spiced Indian Beans These gently spiced beans are a nice and cosy midweek meal. We serve them up with sweetcorn fritters to break the monotony of rice and add a portion of veg! You may notice we snuck a grated carrot in here too - this helps to boost the veg content, flavour, and sweetness in tomato dishes where time is limited!
Korean BBQ Pulled Chicken Burgers with Quick Pickled Veg & Sweet Potato Cubes Have you ever tried purple potatoes before? They have a lower glycemic index than regular potatoes meaning they have a more stabilising effect on blood sugar. In addition they contain anthocyanins - important antioxidants which contribute to heart health and protection from carcinogens. You can spot anthocyanin containing veg from their colour- look out for deep red and purple pigments!
Courgette Fritters with Roasted Cherry Tomatoes & Cheat's Aioli An amazing part of this recipe is the cheat's aioli made here using mayo. These courgette fritters are the perfect dish for dining in the garden, and they keep well - so you can wrap them up in some kitchen paper to bring on a picnic or packed lunch!
