Sesame, Poppy and Peanut Bars (Vegan, Gluten Free)

Thursday, April 28, 2016

Made with sesame, poppy seeds, coconut, roasted peanuts and maple syrup, these nutty seedy bars are chewy and packed with fiber and flavour. They can be made up to 3 days ahead and stored in an airtight container.

Slow Cooker Sriracha Meatballs

Thursday, April 21, 2016

This is a quick and easy slow cooker recipe. Sriracha and honey come together perfectly as the hot and sweet sauce. If you like the meatballs more sweet than spicy, then simply add more honey. The meatballs stay really moist and tender and the sauce soaks up a lot of the meaty flavour with that long and slow cooking process.

Sauce	Meatball
100 g Sriracha sauce 150 g Honey 1 clove Garlic, minced 1 tbsp Fresh lime juice 1 Red onion, sliced	500 g Ground beef 4 tbsp Bread crumbs 1 Egg 1 tsp Sriracha 1 clove Garlic, minced Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Combine sriracha, honey, minced garlic and lime juice in a slow cooker on high heat.
In a large bowl add all the meatball ingredients and mix until well combined. Shape the mixture into meatballs about the size of pingpong balls.
Stir sriracha sauce in the slow cooker until combined. Taste and add additional honey or sriracha as necessary to suit your heat preference. Add in sliced onions, then the meatballs. Reduce heat to medium and cook, covered, for 4-5 hours.

Overnight Spelt Einkorn Bread

Thursday, April 14, 2016

This is a simple sandwich loaf made with my favourite einkorn and spelt, risen with less yeast and wonderful flavour which comes from the long, slow, overnight fermentation in the fridge.

Overnight Spelt Einkorn Bread

inspired by this

3 g Fresh yeast
1 tbsp Maple syrup
40 ml Warm water
180 ml Soya milk, lukewarm
250 g Spelt bread flour
120 g Einkorn flour
1/2 tsp Sea salt
20 g Olive oil
1 tbsp Oat flour for dusting

Place the yeast, maple syrup and warm water in a bowl. Whisk with a fork to dissolve yeast. Stand in a warm place for 10 minutes or until frothy.
Place spelt bread flour, and einkorn flour into a large bowl. Stir in sea salt, yeast mixture and olive oil. Mix to form a soft dough, about 10 minutes. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead for 5 minutes or until smooth and elastic. Place in a large, lightly greased bowl. Cover and leave in a cool place to rest for 2 hours.
Lightly grease a standard loaf pan. Knock back the dough and knead until smooth. Shape into a log. Place in the prepared pan. Cover with lightly greased plastic wrap and leave overnight (8-10 hours) to rise in the fridge.
Take it out of the fridge next morning and put it somewhere warm to carry on rising: it could take from 1 to 3 hours. Preheat oven to 200C/400F fan-forced.
Lightly dust the risen dough with oat flour. Bake in the hot oven for 10 minutes, then turn down the temperature to 180C/200C fan-forced, and bake for a further 25 minutes or until golden and hollow-sounding when tapped. Turn onto a wire rack to cool.
