Stuffed Sweet Peppers with Chicken, Einkorn and Egg

Saturday, October 03, 2020

These chicken-einkorn-egg stuffed mixed peppers are packed with flavour and add a burst of beautiful colour to your meal, not to mention a boost of Vitamin C. I used chicken mince because I happened to have some on hand, you can also use other ground meat (pork, beef or lamb) in the place of chicken. Don't like eggs or have egg allergy? No problem, just omit them entirely or sprinkle some cheese on the top of ground meat filling instead. The great thing about stuffed peppers is how well they take just about anything and make it tasty.

3 Mixed sweet bell peppers, halved, deseeded
2 tsp Olive oil
1 Shallot, finely chopped
1 Large garlic clove, crushed
2 tsp Finely grated lemon zest
1 tsp Cumin powder
1 tsp Cinnamon powder
200 g Chicken mince
100 g Einkorn, cooked
150 g Canned diced tomatoes
2 tbsp Walnuts, toasted and crushed
Salt and pepper
2 tbsp Fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped
6 Eggs, small
Fresh herbs for garnishing
Balsami glaze, optional

Preheat oven to 200C/180C fan forced/400F. Line a large baking tray with baking paper. Place bell pepper halves on prepared tray and bake for 10 minutes.
Cook einkorn in a pot of salted simmering water until al dente, about 25 minutes. Drain and set aside.
Meanwhile, heat oil in a large non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Cook chopped shallot, stirring, for 4 minutes or until softened. Add crushed garlic, zest, cumin and cinnamon and cook, stirring, for 1 minute or until fragrant. Add chicken mince and cook, breaking mince up with a wooden spoon for 3-4 minutes or until just cooked.
Add in einkorn, diced tomatoes and walnuts and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and stir in the parsley.
Drain any liquid from bell peppers. Spoon filling into capsicums and make an indent in each half. Carefully crack an egg into indent and bake for 10-15 minutes or until eggs are cooked to your liking. Serve sprinkled with fresh herbs. Drizzle a bit of balsamic glaze over the egg if using.

Fig and Coconut Tart with Pistachios and Mint

Saturday, September 07, 2019

A sugar-free, delicious, and fruity dessert recipe from Lorraine Pascale via BBC Food - perfect for when fresh figs are in season. It's so easy to prepare and shows off those beautiful figs really well. Grapes are a good alternative to figs here, but you can make this tart with pretty much any fruit you like.

Crust	Filling
250 g Einkorn, ground into flour (or spelt) 125 g Butter, cubed and slightly softened 1 Medium egg Large pinch salt 1 tbsp Iced water	1(400ml) can Unsweetened coconut milk, well chilled (or whipping cream) 100 g Cream cheese 3 g NuNaturals white stevia powder 12 Figs, each cut into 6 wedges 1 tbsp Shelled pistachios, chopped 1 bunch Fresh mint, ripped or roughly torn

Heap the einkorn flour on the counter and make a well. Put the diced butter, egg, and salt in the middle. With your fingertips, mix and cream the ingredients in the well. Draw the flour into the center and work the dough with your fingertips to a grainy texture. Add the cold water and mix in until the dough begins to hold together. Turn onto lightly floured surface. Knead gently until just smooth. Flatten into a disc. Wrap in plastic. Place in fridge for 30 minutes to rest.
Roll out pastry on a lightly floured surface, then use to line a 20cm x 30cm rectangular fluted loose-bottomed tart pan. (I used a 10cm x 30cm rectangular and a 12cm round) Put in the fridge for about 15 minutes, or until firm.
Preheat the oven to 180C/350F. Remove them from the fridge and cover with baking paper, fill with pastry weights or dried beans, and blind bake for 15 minutes if using two smaller baking pans, 20 minutes if using one large pan. Remove weights or beans and paper. Return to oven for 5 minutes until crisp and golden. Remove from the oven and set aside.
Scoop coconut cream solids into a mixing bowl. Reserve remaining liquid for another use. Beat coconut cream and stevia using electric mixer on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form, about 5 minutes. Put the cream cheese into a separate bowl and fold the whipped coconut cream into the cream cheese. Put the filling in the tart case, then arrange the figs on top and scatter over the pistachio nuts and mint leaves.

Thursday, August 02, 2018

Nothing is better than fresh homemade bread! These sweet, soft bread buns with a buttery coconut filling are so yummy that I can't stop eating them. The dough, made with a mix of einkorn and wheat flour, aronia powder and coconut milk, is tender, soft and full of flavour. You can replace aronia powder with green tea, beet or moringa powder.

Cream butter and raw sugar until fluffy. Beat in egg until combined. Add in desiccated coconut. Stir to combine. Add in coconut milk until well incorporated. Cover with a plastic wrap and set aside until ready for use. In the bowl of your stand mixer attached with a dough hook, add coconut milk, egg, raw sugar, einkorn, bread flour, yeast and salt. Mix everything at slow speed just until flour is moistened. Turn speed to medium. Knead the dough until it is smooth and gathering in the center, about 8 minutes.
Shape the dough into a ball. Grease the mixing bowl with a little bit of oil. Return the dough to the bowl. Cover the bowl with a kitchen towel and set it on a warm place for an hour or until doubled in size. Grease a 26-cm springform pan with butter.

Position the log with the seam side down. Using a knife, start to slice each log vertically leaving about 1/4 inch on one end uncut. Rotate the two split logs so that the cut sides are facing up. Gently twist the two cut logs together in a spiral manner, as if braiding. Form a coil and tuck the end under it. Place into the springform pan
