Green Bean Spelt Cake with Hazelnuts and White Wine

Friday, February 22, 2013

Green beans and paparika flavoured chicken cold cut along with white wine...a delicious and healthy combination. The addition of hazelnuts (or walnuts as the original recipe calls for) gives this savoury, but nonetheless delicious cake more substance and an interestingly crunchy texture. Cheer you up with a large slice paired a glass of white wine, as well as some crème fraîche.

Cold Oven Gluten Free Red Lentil Muffins with Sundried Tomatoes

Friday, February 15, 2013

You have read that right. These savoury muffins are made with 100% red lentil flour, sundried tomatoes and shallots. They are delicious, gluten-free, and good for you as they are high in PROTEIN, and full of fiber. They are great as a side or a snack. I have also tried the recipe with smoked bell peppers instead of sundired tomatoes, both versions are very delicious, but I like 'sundried tomatoes' slightly more. Definitely make this again (might just top the batter with a cube of Feta).

Divide the batter into the muffin cups. Place it in the cold oven and bake for 45-55 minutes at 140C/280F, fan-forced. Remove and cool on a wire rack.

Buckwheat Bread with Pear and Hazelnut

Tuesday, January 29, 2013

The grain-like buckwheat is not related to wheat, but related to sorrel and rhubarb. It has a nutty flavour, and high nutritional value—-an excellent source of protein, soluble fiber, minerals and despite the confusing name, buckwheat is gluten free.
This buckwheat bread, lightly sweetened with maple syrup, studded with whole hazelnuts, candied ginger, soft dates and fresh pear, is made with a blend of buckwheat and wheat flours, so it’s not gluten-free. The finished dough is rather sticky even though I have used 50 grams more bread flour than the amount the original recipe
©angiesrecipes has called for.

100 g Buckwheat groats
100 ml Water, boiling
200 g Pear, peeled, cored and diced
50 g Candied ginger, diced
50 g Soft dried dates, diced
20 g Fresh yeast
300 ml Lukewarm water
50 g Maple syrup
100 g Buckwheat flour
350 g Bread flour
100 g Hazelnuts
10 g Salt

Soak buckwheat groats in the boiling water for 2 hours until all the water has been absorbed. Peel, core and dice the pear. Dice the candied ginger and dried dates. Dissolve the yeast in lukewarm water in the mixing bowl of your stand mixer.
Add in maple syrup, soaked buckwheat groats, flours, hazelnuts, and salt. Mix first at slow speed for 4 minutes, then increase the speed and mix for a further 4 minutes. Fold in diced pear, candied ginger, and soft dates. The dough is rather sticky.
Turn it onto a floured work surface and dust the dough with a little flour. Cover with a kitchen towel and rest for 30 minutes at the room temperature. Fold and shape the dough into a round every 10 minutes.
Grease a loaf pan or line with parchment paper. Place the dough into the pan and rest for another 30 minutes. Meanwhile preheat the oven to 210C/410F with a roasting tray filled with water at the bottom of the oven. Bake the bread in the middle rack of hot oven for 45-50 minutes.
