Dairy Free Gluten Free Peanut Butter Tahini Fudge

Saturday, May 09, 2020

Desserts made with peanut butter, tahini (aka sesame seed butter) are right up my alley, esp. when they are healthful and good for you like this fudge recipe which is refined sugar free, dairy free and naturally gluten free. It's smooth, amazingly delicious and simple to make. Coconut syrup was used to sweeten the fudge, but maple syrup would do the trick too. You can substitute cashew or almond butter for peanut butter.

250 g Organic creamy peanut butter
150 g Natural tahini / sesame butter
80 g Coconut oil (or cocoa butter)
40 g Coconut syrup
1 tsp Vanilla paste
Pyramid-shaped or regular sea salt flakes (for decorating)

Prepare a mini-muffin pan with a 24 cup capacity. Line with praline paper liners. Set aside. You can also use 12 standard-size silicone muffin cups or a mix of two.
In a medium saucepan over low heat, add the peanut butter, natural tahini, coconut oil and coconut syrup.
Mix with a rubber spatula until smooth. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla paste.
Spoon into the prepared muffin liners and chill for a few hours or until firm. Sprinkle lightly with sea salt flakes and enjoy! The fudge can be stored in an airtight container for up to 1 week.

Keto Cauliflower Garlic Bread

Tuesday, March 03, 2020

If you are on the low carb diet and love garlic bread, then you MUST try this healthier keto cauliflower garlic bread alternative that I have found on Delish. It is naturally gluten free, full of flavours with fresh herbs and garlic and easy to make too. However, you can still taste the cauliflower here, so next time I would cut it back to half of what original recipe called for.

360 g Riced cauliflower
6 Large eggs, separated
135 g Almond flour
1 tbsp Baking powder
3/4 tsp Sea salt
80 g Unsalted butter, melted
5 Garlic cloves, minced
1 tbsp Chives, chopped
1 tbsp Parsley, chopped

Preheat oven to 180C/350F and line a standard-sized loaf pan with parchment paper.
Place riced cauliflower in a microwave safe bowl, cover and microwave for 3 minutes until soft and tender. Let cool. When cool enough to handle, transfer cauliflower to a clean kitchen towel and squeeze to release as much moisture as possible.
In a mixing bowl, beat egg whites until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together almond flour, baking powder, salt, egg yolks, melted butter, minced garlic and cauliflower. Fold in 1/3 of egg white to lighten up the batter, then fold in the rest of the egg white until well incorporated. Fold in fresh herbs.
Pour the batter the prepared loaf pan. Bake in the middle of hot oven until the top is golden, about 50 minutes. Remove and turn out on a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Crisp Sumac Spiced Nuts

Tuesday, February 25, 2020

Crisp walnuts and Brazil nuts glazed in spicy cayenne and citrusy, tangy sumac with coconut sugar make great party nibbles or as a topping for the salad, oatmeal or pancakes. Any mix of nuts (cashews, pecans, almonds) will work for this recipe—just be sure to allow them cool completely to ensure a crisp texture before serving or storing. Besides sumac, za'atar, a blend of herbs, salt, sesame seeds, cumin and sumac, would be another wonderful Middle Eastern condiment to spice up the nuts.

1 1/2 tsp Sumac
1/2 tsp Cayenne pepper
1 tbsp Coconut sugar
1/2 tsp Black salt
1 Large egg white
200 g Walnuts
100 g Brazil nuts

Preheat oven to 150C/300F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper, and set aside. Combine sumac, coconut sugar and black salt in a bowl.
Beat egg white until very foamy. Stir in nuts, combining well. Add in sumac mixture until evenly coated. Spread coated nuts in a single layer onto the prepared baking sheet.
Bake nuts in middle of preheated oven, stirring at half time, until crisp and golden, about 30 to 35 minutes.
Remove baking sheet from oven, and let cool completely. Break up nut clusters. Store nuts in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.

GF, DF Poppy Seed Meringue Cookies

Monday, February 03, 2020

Shape the mixture into balls, about 28-30 balls, and roll in the almond sticks. Place them onto baking trays lined with baking paper. Gently flatten them a little.
Preheat the oven to 180C/350F. Bake for 15-18 minutes until lightly browned. Let rest on the trays for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Store in an airtight container for up to a week.

Sumac Rubbed Pork Roast with Crackling

Wednesday, December 11, 2019

Succulent pork, crispy golden crackling and tender roast vegetables...this is a meal, inspired by taste and bbc food, that's guaranteed to please. Please a crowd with this effortless one-dish pork roast with crisp golden crackling.
Sumac comes from the berries of a wild bush that is native to the Middle East. The deep red berries are dried and ground into coarse powder. It's a widely used spice, either as a rub, or marinade, or in a dressing, in Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cooking. Sumac has a pleasantly tart, tangy lemony flavour that goes really well meat and vegetables.

1.5 -2 kg Pork shoulder, or butt, skin-on
1 tbsp Lard, melted or oil
4 tsp Sumac
Sea salt to taste
1 Large onion, peeled and sliced
400 g Green beans
100 ml Chicken broth or water
1 tbsp Spelt flour

Remove the pork from the fridge for 1 hour before you want to cook it, to let it come up to room temperature. Preheat the oven to 220C/425F.
Dry the roast with a paper towel. With a small sharp knife, deeply score the skin at 1cm intervals, without cutting into the meat.
Rub the roast with lard or oil, lemony sumac and sea salt. Make sure the lard and seasonings are worked into the scores. Turn it over and season the underside of the meat with sumac and a few pinches of salt.
Place the pork, skin-side up, in a roasting tray and roast for 30-40 minutes, or until the skin has started to puff up and you can see it turning into crackling. Turn the heat down to 180C/350F and cook for a further 2 to 2.5 hours, or until cooked through.
In the last 30 minutes of cooking time, add the onion and green beans into the roasting tray and mix with the fat in the tray.
Carefully move the meat to a serving dish, cover again with tin foil and allow to rest for 15 minutes while you make the gravy. Transfer the green beans to a warm plate and set aside.
Scrape up all the sticky bits and onions from the tray and pour into a skillet. Stir broth and spelt flour together and add to the skillet. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon. Let it simmer for a few minutes until thickened.

Quinoa Filled Hokkaido

Sunday, October 13, 2019

Autumn means PUMPKINS, one of the very low calorie vegetables. They are a particularly good source of dietary fibre, as well as a range of vitamins and minerals.
Quinoa (a mix of white and red), cooked in vegetable stock, scented with cinnamon, tossed with pumpkin seeds and cranberries, is stuffed into Hokkaido pumpkin halves, then baked until tender for a delicious, gluten-free, vegetarian meal. You can easily replace the Hokkaido with another squash like acorn or kabocha.

1 tbsp Olive oil
1 Small yellow onion, cut into 1/3-inch dices
3/4 tsp Ground cumin
150 g Quinoa, rinsed in cold water and drained
450 ml Vegetable stock
50 g Dried, unsweetened cranberries
1 / 800 g Hokkaido pumpkin
30 g Pumpkin seeds
1/3 tsp Ground cinnamon
1-2 tsp Fresh lemon juice
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Heat the olive oil in a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat. When it is hot, add the diced onion and ground cumin and cook, stirring frequently, until the onion is soft and golden brown, about 10 minutes.
Add the quinoa to the saucepan and stir to coat the grains. Add the stock and raise the heat to high. When the liquid comes to a boil, reduce the heat to low, add the cranberries, and cover the pan. Cook at a slow simmer until the liquid has been absorbed, 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, cut the Hokkaido pumpkin in half. Scoop out and discard the seeds and fibers. Place the pumpkin halves on a rimmed baking sheet and set it aside.
When the quinoa is cooked, remove the pan from the heat and stir in the pumpkin seeds, cinnamon and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Position a rack in the lower third of the oven and preheat the oven to 190C/375F.
Divide the quinoa filling among the pumpkin halves. Transfer the baking sheet to the oven and roast until the quinoa is hot and the flesh of the pumpkins is tender when pierced with a skewer or fork, 50 minutes. Serve immediately.

Cook for 1- 2 minutes on medium heat, or until the crepe is dry on the surface and crisp around the edges. Flip the crepe and cook on the other side for a further 1 minute. Transfer to a plate.
