fermented buckwheat bread

14/10/2017

0 Comments

 
Picture

ingredients

2 1/2 cups of buckwheat kernals
3 cups of water
3tbls lemon juice or apple cider vinegar
more water-1 1/3 cups
1/3 cup pumpkin seeds
3 tbls linseed/flaxseed meal
extra seeds to sprinkle over the top
1tsp of himalayan salt (or another good quality salt)​

method

  • place the buckwheat into a bowl with the first amount of water (3 cups) along with the lemon juice and soak overnight.
  • in the morning drain the kernals and add the second lot of water (1 1/3 cups)
  • in 2 batches (because it overflows otherwise) whizz the kernals up until they have formed a smooth paste. It may not be perfectly smooth but as close as you can get it. 
  • cover and sit in a warm area of the house for 24hrs approx. Warmer climates may need less, cooler more etc. No need to stir- you want the air bubbles
  • after about 24hrs it will be a little puffy with air bubbles so very gently fold in the salt, pumpkin seeds and linseeds.
  • place gently in a bread tin lined with backing paper and sprinkle with the extra seeds. 
  • Place in a cool (as in not turned on) oven for an hour to rise a little more.
  • with the bread batter still in the oven turn the oven to 180 C and cook for about an hour and 45min. That bit is a bit tricky as every oven heats at a different temp. You can test with a knife- place a knife into the centre of the loaf and if it comes out doughy it's not done. 

And enjoy! it is the closest to wheat bread that I have found and really takes the edge off the cravings!

This recipe, or something very similar, was found at Betty Rocker and she found it at Breadtopia and they based it on someone elses so I certainly cannot claim this as my own! But it is brilliant!

'nice-cream'

2/10/2017

This is more of an idea than a recipe as it changes everytime I make it according to the size of the bananas, how chocolately I want it, if i have berries etc. So feel free to play around with it! 

NB The picture is terrible but it tasted soooooo....good! It was a little softer than normal as I fluffed about taking a photo. 

serves 6 (cause there's 6 in my family)

ingredients

  • 6-12 frozen bananas- small ones go for 2 bananas per person, if your using the insanely large supermarket variety one each is enough 
  • 3/4 of a cup cacao (more or less according to chocolate tastes)
  • honey to taste (you may not need any but if you do start with 1/4 cup and blend in more if needed)
  • 2 avocados- totally optional but it makes the icecream creamier and adds in some good fats
  • 2tbs coconut oil- again optional but adds good fats that keep everyone more satisfied
  • 2tbls hemp seeds- these add a slightly nutty flavour and also extra omega 3 and 6 as well as protein and no one will notice!
  • about 1/4 cup coconut cream or milk- totally optional but you may need to loosen the mixture if you don't use the avocados. 
VARIATION 1- if you don't want chocolate try blending up some berries instead of the cacao and have 'berry' nice-cream- see what I did there hahahaha...

VARIATION 2- this is more a totally different idea but straight frozen mango blended up makes a magnificent nice-cream. You can add a dollop or 2 of kefir or yoghurt for a creamier texture. 

Lots of topping variations- berries, nuts, seeds cacao nbs...go wild!

method

chuck the lot (not the toppings) in to a food processor and blend. You may need to hold it down if it starts jumping around. Getting the frozen fruit started can be tricky. 

I don't suggest a stick whizz. I burnt one out doing this. They don't seem to have the strength to do it.

raw chocolate

ingredients

1 cup of good coconut oil
1/2 cup of raw cacao
honey or maple syrup to taste (start with 1/4 of a cup an work up from there)
3tbls of nut butter (peanut butter is yummy but almond/cashew etc will be yum too)
a pinch of Himalayan salt
chopped/crushed nuts, goji berries, cranberries etc etc to sprinkle over the top

method

Put all the ingredients except the extra nuts and dried fruit into the food processor or use a stick whizz. Whizz until well combined.
Pour into a lined baking tray- the larger you use the thinner the chocolate. Sprinkle nuts etc over the top. Pop into the freezer for about 15-20min.
Cut in to chunks and devour. Store in the freezer as the coconut oil will melt very quickly.

tumeric latte

Ingredients

  • 1 cup of ​coconut milk (or milk of your choice. Almond works well or a mix of the 2)
  • 2tsp-1 full tbls of fresh tumeric grated
                     (or 1 1/2 tsp of powdered tumeric)
  • 1 tsp of cinnamon
  • 1 tbls of fresh ginger grated
                     (or 1 tsp of powdered ginger)
  • 1 tsp (be generous ) of coconut oil
  • sweetner of choice eg honey, maple syrup, stevia, agave, rice malt syrup, palm sugar, coconut sugar, rapadura sugar or NONE- the choice is yours
  • a good pinch of black pepper (don't leave this out as it sends the bioavailability of the curcumin in the turmeric through the roof)

method

Heat the milk without boiling and add all of the ingredients except the honey. Continue to heat without boiling and whisk the whole lot up! A stick whizz is great for getting the froth going. 

Add sweetener to taste and strain into your favourite mug, pull up a chair with a good view and drift away....

Raw Brownie

1/10/2017

0 Comments

 
I'm sorry to say that I cannot remember where this recipe came from as I have been making it for so long. I copied it out and have used it ever since! If you know where it is from please let me know so I can give credit.

Ingredients

 ​2 cups of raw walnuts
21/2 cups of dates, pitted (I use dried)
1 cup of raw cacao
1 cup raw almond, chopped into pieces similar to crushed
​1/2 tsp of Himalayan salt

method

Process the walnuts in the food processor until finely ground.
Add cocao and salt and pulse to combine.
Add the dates through the shute one at a time. 
The mix should resemble cake crumbs and hold together when pressed. 

Stir in the almonds and press in to a square cake tin about 20cmx20cm. Place in the freezer for a couple of hours. Use a serrated knife to cut in to about 16 pieces. 

NB​ Go slowly adding the last few dates as too many will turn the brownie to fudge. Still yummy but it won't have that cake like crumb about it.

    food

    My favourite thing to do is potter about in the kitchen! Me and a million others haha! There's about a billion blogs out there on food so all I want to achieve here is a collection of usable recipes for my clients that are healthy and easy!

    There was a time when I made all the very traditional foods from scratch. 

    These days I'm looking for the healthier, lighter options. I still occasionally have the traditional treats  but I get it now! Even thought they were homemade from the best ingredients they were still treats. 

    Now my fridge is stocked with fermented foods, I'm more likely to be making a raw dessert than a cake and the freezer has frozen fruit at the ready to make luscious 'nice-cream' and sits alongside bone broth ready to add to soups and stews. 

    ​Fill yourself with good food and not only do you feel satisfied but there is no room for all the 'treats'. 

    Happy browsing and bon appetite!
