Vegetarian Black Bean Soup

Saturday, March 15, 2014

http://schneiderchen.de | © 2014 | http://angiesrecipes.blogspot.com




A hearty, healthy black bean soup with the full flavour of garlic, onion, tamari, cumin and chilli that will keep you warm and fill you up. I love topping the soup with a large dollop of low fat yogurt and more chilli threads for extra kick. Leave out the yogurt or use soya yogurt if you want to veganize the recipe.

Seeded Sourdough Emmer Soda Bread

Tuesday, March 11, 2014

http://schneiderchen.de | © 2014 | http://angiesrecipes.blogspot.com




http://schneiderchen.de | © 2014 | http://angiesrecipes.blogspot.com

The ingredients of traditional soda bread are flour, baking soda, salt, and buttermilk. Other ingredients can be added such as butter/oil, egg, raisins or seeds/nuts.
I am so excited to give this recipe a try, a sourdough take on the traditional soda bread recipe found on King Arthur Flour site, especially with St. Patrick's Day just around the corner.
This is a quick rising soda bread with flavour and texture twists by replacing buttermilk with rye sourdough starter, olive oil instead of butter, molasses instead of honey, and using a mix of wholegrain emmer and white spelt flour (modern wholewheat and all-purpose flour are great alternatives here), hemp and poppy seeds (or sunflower and sesame seeds). While not an authentic Irish soda bread, it tastes absolutely delicious and full of flavours.

  • 260 g Emmer grain (farro dicocco), ground into flour
  • 150 g Refined white spelt flour
  • 50 g Hemp seeds
  • 25 g Poppy seeds
  • 1 tsp Baking soda
  • 3/4 tsp Salt
  • 245 g Rye sourdough starter, 100% hydration
  • 55 g Olive oil
  • 64 g Molasses
  • 180 g Milk
  1. Preheat the oven to 200C/400F. Lightly grease a baking sheet, or line it with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the ground emmer flour, white spelt flour, seeds, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the rye starter, olive oil, molasses, and milk. Pour this mixture into the dry ingredients and stir to combine. Depending upon the absorbency of the flour, you may need to add another tablespoon or two milk if the dough seems too stiff but it should not be too wet or sticky.
  4. Knead the dough a couple of times to make sure it's holding together, divide it in half, and shape each half into a ball. Flatten the balls slightly, and place them on the prepared baking sheet. 1^Dust generously with flour. Mark a deep cross in it with a sharp, serrated knife, cutting about two-thirds of the way through the loaf. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes or until they're golden brown or sound hollow when tapped. Cool on a wire rack.

Chickpea and Feta Patties

Thursday, March 06, 2014

http://schneiderchen.de | © 2014 | http://angiesrecipes.blogspot.com





http://schneiderchen.de | © 2014 | http://angiesrecipes.blogspot.com


High in fiber, low in fat and calories, and yet loaded with protein, chickpeas are by far one of the best sources of protein for vegetarians. But their wonderfully nutty flavours means that even the non-vegetarians will love them.
Served with some seasonal salad, tucked into a pocket bread, sandwiched between sliced bread or simply on their own, these patties make a delicious vegetarian meal. They are easily veganized by substituting the egg for egg replacement, and utilizing tofu instead of feta.

  • 400 g Can chickpeas, rinsed, drained
  • 20 g Onion fritters
  • 2 Garlic cloves, crushed
  • 1 Small carrot, peeled, coarsely grated
  • 80 g Feta, crumbled
  • 1 Egg
  • Salt and pepper
  • 70 g Spelt breadcrumbs
  • 30 ml Olive oil
  1. In a food processor add in chickpeas, onion fritters, crushed garlic, grated carrot, feta and egg, and process until combined.
  2. Transfer to a bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Add the breadcrumbs and mix until combined. Season well with salt and pepper. Press into 6 patties. Refrigerate for 1 hour.
  3. Heat the oil over a medium heat. Add the patties and cook for 4-5 minutes each side until nicely golden brown.

Shirataki Spaghetti Stir-fry with Shrimp

Saturday, February 22, 2014

http://schneiderchen.de | © 2014 | http://angiesrecipes.blogspot.com




Shirataki (shee-rah-TAH-kee) noodles are made from Konjac flour, which comes from the roots of the yam-like Konjac plant grown in Japan and China. They are mostly composed of a dietary fiber called glucomannan and contain very few calories and carbohydrates. ( or even carb-free). Some shirataki noodles are made out of tofu, which have a small amount of carbs.
Shirataki are typically sold in wet form -- the noodles are bagged in liquid. All it requires is rinse and drain them before using for the recipe. They do not have much flavour by themselves, but absorb flavors well from other ingredients you can combine them with. You can easily find shirataki noodles at Asian stores or online.

  • 200 g Shirataki spaghetti, drained
  • 200 g Shrimp, shelled
  • Salt and pepper
  • 2 tbsp Olive oil
  • 1 tsp Ginger root, shredded
  • 1 tsp Garlic, chopped
  • 150 g Chinese cabbage, shredded
  • 100 g Carrot, shredded
  • 100 g Leek, shredded
  • 50 g Radicchio, shredded
  • 3 tbsp Sweet chilli sauce
  1. Drain and rinse shirataki noodles very well. Set aside. Season the shrimp with salt and pepper. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil into a skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add in seasoned shrimp and cook until they turn pink. Remove and place them in a bowl.
  2. Add the remaining olive oil into the skillet, then garlic and ginger. Cook for a few seconds, then add in all the shredded vegetables. Cook for a minute. Add shirataki spaghetti, stir-fry 2 minutes. Stir in sweet chilli sauce and shrimp, heat through. Taste and season with salt and pepper if needed. Serve immediately.

Emmer Quick Bread with Molasses

Wednesday, February 12, 2014

http://schneiderchen.de | © 2014 | http://angiesrecipes.blogspot.com




This is a delightful quick bread that is fast and easy to prepare, healthy and delicious. The molasses, which is a good source of calcium, iron, potassium and magnesium, adds a hint of sweetness and nicely compliments the nutty flavour of the emmer flour. It tastes great plain or with a little butter.
Emmer, also known as farro, is a low gluten, nutrient dense grain with a sweet, nutty flavour. If you cannot find emmer in your local stores, simply replace it with kamut or modern whole wheat flour.

  • 300 g Emmer berries, ground into flour
  • 100 g Oat flour
  • 1/2 tsp Baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp Baking soda
  • 1 tsp Sea salt
  • 400 ml Buttermilk, well-shaken
  • 1 Extra large egg
  • 160 g Molasses
  • 15 g Rolled oats for topping
  1. Preheat the oven to 160C/325F. Line a standard-size loaf pan with parchment paper.
  2. Whisk together the ground emmer, oat flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large mixing bowl. Make a well in the center and add in buttermilk, egg and molasses. Whisk to combine.
  3. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and sprinkle with rolled oats. Bake in the middle of hot oven for about an hour until toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool in pan for 15 minutes, then turn out onto a cooling rack. Cool completely.

Whole Cauliflower with Turmeric Sauce

Thursday, February 06, 2014

http://schneiderchen.de | © 2014 | http://angiesrecipes.blogspot.com




This is an easy but very tasty cauliflower recipe. The fun presentation of a whole cauliflower, first blanched in vegetable stock, then dressed with a creamy tangy turmeric sauce, which can be made ahead of time, and topped with some chopped greens.

  • 1 head Cauliflower, ca 750 grams
  • Vegetable broth to boil the cauliflower
  • 20 g Butter
  • 2 tsp White spelt flour
  • 2 tsp Turmeric powder
  • 125 ml Warm vegetable broth
  • 125 ml Milk at room-temperature
  • 1 tsp Lemon juice
  • Pinch of sugar
  • Salt and peppercorn to taste
  • 1 tbsp Chopped rock leaves or parsley
  1. Clean and wash the cauliflower, discarding the leaves, and remove about 1 inch of the hard core, making sure the florets don't fall off. Bring a large pot of vegetable broth to a boil. Add in the whole cauliflower and cook, covered, until cauliflower is tender, but not mushy, about 12 minutes.
  2. Melt butter over low heat in a medium-sized saucepan. Sprinkle in the flour and turmeric powder. Cook for a couple of minutes. Add in the warm vegetable stock and milk. Bring to a simmer and cook until slightly thickened. Season with lemon juice, pinch of sugar, salt and pepper to taste.
