Gluten Free Sprouted Black Quinoa Bread

This is a nutrient rich, dense and moist quinoa bread that I found here. It has a nutty texture that comes from the sprouted black quinoa and makes the perfect sandwiches.
I can’t tell you how good it tastes and how easy this recipe is. The most important steps would be to soak your quinoa overnight until sprouty before starting the recipe and puree it with other ingredients in your food processor. Don't expect it would resemble the traditional bread because it's naturally gluten-free, it wouldn't rise high. Use white or red quinoa if you don't have the black variety and tapioca starch can be substituted with cornstarch.

  • 180 g Black quinoa
  • 3 Egg whites
  • 170 ml Almond milk
  • 40 g Maple syrup
  • 2 tbsp Tapioca starch
  • Sea salt
  • 100 g Almond meal
  • 2 g Baking soda
  • 15 g Baking powder
  1. Rinse quinoa thoroughly and place them in a pot or plastic container. Cover the quinoa with water and let soak overnight. Drain.
  2. Preheat the oven to 190C/375F. Grease or line a small loaf pan with parchment paper.
  3. Place the drained quinoa in a blender along with egg whites, almond milk, maple syrup, tapioca starch, and a good pinch of sea salt. Process until everything is well blended and pureed. You don't want any whole quinoa seeds left.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together the almond meal, baking soda, and baking powder. Pour the pureed quinoa mixture into the dry one. Mix until just incorporated. The mixture will as runny as pancake batter.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for about 50 minutes. Remove the bread from the pan and cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes before slicing.

Coeur de Boeuf Salad with Balsamico Cream and Argan Oil

Thursday, May 15, 2014

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




Coeur de Boeuf, originated from Italy, commonly known as ‘ox-hearts’, is known for its meaty, fleshy texture and fruity taste, and, of course, for its beautiful unusual shape. These 'old-fashioned' tomatoes are beautifully ribbed and ripen from the inside out, turning from green to orange into a deep red. Perfect for pastas and sauces and just superb in salads with fresh herbs and cheese.

  • 400 g Coeur de Boeuf tomatoes, thickly sliced
  • 10 Black olives, sliced into rings
  • Green pepper
  • Fleur de sel
  • Fresh cilantro leaves
  • Balsamico cream
  • Argan oil
  1. Arrange the tomato slices on a platter.
  2. Scatter black olive rings and cilantro leaves over tomato slices.
  3. Sprinkle with cracked green pepper and salt. Drizzle the salad with balsamico cream and argan oil.

A delicious and fresh-as-spring side or starter, this classic Italian garnish together with a toasted crumb topping and truffle oil gives those blanched green asparagus a burst of flavours and lifts this spring veggie to a whole new level.
Gremolata is a chopped herb condiment classically made of parsley, garlic and lemon zest. It is a traditional accompaniment for veal, fish and also excellent sprinkled over pasta.

  • Lemon wedges to serve
  1. Cook asparagus in shallow, simmering salted water 5 minutes. Drain, arrange on a platter and drizzle with one tablespoon of the truffle oil, then toss well to coat.
  2. While asparagus cooks, make the gremolata crumbs. Whiz the bread in a food processor to coarse crumbs. Dry toast the breadcrumbs in a small frying pan over a medium heat until golden and crisp.
  3. Place in a bowl and stir in the garlic, lemon zest, parsley, some sea salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Set the mixture aside.
  4. Sprinkle the gremolata crumbs liberally over the asparagus with the remaining truffle oil. Scatter over the strips of lemon zest and lemon wedges at side. Serve immediately.

Meet fellow foodies face-to-face and share your cooking secrets and favorite recipes

Saturday, May 03, 2014

As a real foodie, I’m always looking for new recipes and new inspiration and I’m sure you guys are too. I also really love cooking just by myself, since no-one can get in my way when I’m at my private Kingdom (read: kitchen). But.. of course, I get my new recipes and inspiration from fellow foodies and besides that, I also really love to exchange food experiences and recipes with others. This is why I really got excited when I bumped into the new peer-to-peer marketplace Withlocals.com.



They connect food lovers/travelers from all over the world with local foodies from Southeast Asia. So, if you love traveling and like to taste the real local food, you should try a Withlocals Eat experience. You can easily book a home-dinner with a local from one of the country’s Withlocals has launched in (Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, Indonesia, Vietnam, Sri Lanka and Nepal).
Imagine.. you’re traveling to Singapore and you really love to try the real Singaporean food and maybe, also get some insights in those recipes. You can go on a home-dinner with a local, who will tell you all the ins and outs about his or her knowledge of Singaporean recipes. Of course, in exchange for some of your secrets.



To the foodies who live in one of the Withlocals countries: you guys can host home-dinners yourself! This way, you can show off your cooking skills and share your love for cooking with fellow foodies and .. earn some extra money by doing so! Besides an Eat experience, you can also offer a Tour or an Activity.
Got excited? Just easily register here, describe your signature dish and everything else the travelers can expect from your home-dinner, and you’re good to go! Enjoy exchanging recipes and talk ‘foodie-talk’ with your new friend!



I couldn’t help myself from nosing around in all those great home-dinners. When I would visit Malaysia in the near future, I would consider those two possibilities: the healthy diner in Petaling Jaya or the cooking class in Kuala Lumpur.
What would you choose? Please let me know!

This moist, dense quick bread is naturally gluten-free, low in carbohydrates and calories, and high in protein thanks to the use of protein powder and black bean flour.
Psyllium adds rise, elasticity and strength to gluten free baking. Not only is psyllium great for gluten free bread it is also very good for you. The soluble fiber found in psyllium husks improves digestion and cleanses the system, making it an excellent choice for healthy dieting. Psyllium can provide the fiber that is missing on low carbohydrate diets.

  • 150 g Cauliflower puree
  • 160 ml Buttermilk
  • 160 ml Sparkling water
  1. Preheat the oven to 160C/320F. In a large mixing bowl, add in ground black beans, whey protein powder, rice protein, psyllium husks, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk all ingredients until well combined.
