Miena's Handmade Nougat
"Made in small batches with locally sourced fresh ingredients, I have developed a recipe different from those used in France and South Africa. The result is a unique and uncompromising soft Irish Nougat." It is our Taste of the Week, not for the first time. Her kitchen by the way is certified gluten free.
There is a whole list of tempting nougat flavours coming from the lush countryside of the Glen of Imaal in County Wicklow these days. You may have different flavours: Almonds and Pecan, Almonds and Passionfruit, Almonds and Pistachio, Almonds and Mixed Berries, Roasted Almonds, Almonds with Rhubarb and Strawberry, plus various selection boxes and tins. Presents (Valentine maybe) sorted!
I got mine from Bakestone in the Fota Retail Park at Cobh Cross but these scrumptious prize-winning nougats are widely available, including in Dunnes Stores Simply Better and at Miena’s own online shop.
