Can’t help with Mexican, although I have seen mexican mole sauce in fallon&byrne recently.
I’ve a question on finding another ingredient in Dublin. I’ve been trying to find preserved lemon for ages. I love moroccan cooking, but for the life of me, can’t find preserved lemon. I live in the city centre and don’t have a car. Any ideas?!
Hey Ben…I presume you’ve tried the halal shops? There’s some very well-stocked halal and Indian shops in the city centre, like Spice of Life on Moore St and Madina on Parnell St, I’d be surprised if they didn’t have them.
I think I picked up my tin of chilli in adobe at that Mexican in the Epicurian Food Hall – it’s only a small selection of ingredients but they still might stock them.
Not sure here is the right place to post but I would like tips on where to get good horseradish in jars (grated or creamed) and particular good brands tried and tested out there? As you only usually need a bit of the stuff, it seems a waste to buy a whole root everytime. Thanks for any help…

Thanks Jean, I’ve tried a few halal shops around Clanbrassil st, but I’ll give those two a go.

Richard Corrigan has a recipe for battered fish here: http://archives.tcm.ie/businesspost/2009/02/08/story39262.asp
It might not be quite chip-shop style but sounds delicious.

Hi Ben,
Avoca in Rathcoole have preserved lemons so maybe the one near Grafton street would also stock them.
