Whole Baked Romanesco with Ajvar Sauce

Monday, February 22, 2016

Romanesco (Roman cauliflower), a cross between cauliflower and broccoli, is a tasty side dish that has bizarre spiraling points. The whole roasted romanesco makes a beautiful presentation as well as being really delicious with ajvar sauce.

Whole Baked Romanesco with Ajvar Sauce

adapted from Jamie Oliver

1 Red onion, peeled and chopped
3 Garlic cloves, peeled and chopped
1 head /800 g Romanesco
Olive oil
A handful of black olives, stoned
2x400 g Bottled ajvar sauce
150 ml Vegetable stock
1 stalk Green onion, finely chopped for garnishing

Preheat the oven to 180C/350F. Trim the outer romanesco leaves. Trim away and discard the stalk so the cauliflower can sit flat.
Add the chopped onion and a tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet and and slowly fry for 10 minutes until softened and with a little colour. Add the olives, ajvar sauce and vegetable stock. Stir everything together and bring to the boil.
Transfer the sauce in a baking dish. Take the romanesco and gently push it down into the sauce. Spray the romanesco with a little olive oil and bake for around 1 hour 20 minutes, or until golden and tender. Garnish with chopped spring onions.

Raisin Oatbran Banana Einkorn Loaf

Monday, February 15, 2016

Found this recipe on Ricardo Cuisine, but I tweaked it a bit using what I have on hand and making it even healthier with ground whole-grain einkorn, oat bran, banana, coconut oil and liquid stevia. This makes a good snack, breakfast, or even dessert with a chocolate glaze or lemon icing.

110 g Wholegrain einkorn flour
80 g Oatbran
1 tsp Baking powder
1 tsp Baking soda
1/4 tsp Sea salt
120 ml Buttermilk
1/2 tsp Vanilla-flavoured liquid stevia
3 Very ripe bananas, mashed
1 Large egg
30 ml Coconut oil, melted
100 g Raisins

Preheat the oven to 180C/350F. Grease a small loaf pan (21cmx10cm) and line with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, combine the wholegrain einkorn flour, oatbran, baking powder, baking soda and sea salt. Set aside.
In another bowl, combine the buttermilk, liquid stevia, mashed bananas, egg and melted coconut oil with a whisk.
Stir in the dry ingredients until the flour is just moistened. Set aside 1tbsp of raisins for garnish and add the remaining ones to the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle with the reserved raisins and bake for 40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the centre of the bread comes out clean. Let cool completely before unmoulding. Slice and serve.
