Green smoothie in pop form! These frozen treats are a perfect healthy snack for summertime and a good fun way to get kids to “eat” their vegetables. If you ain't really into the leafy greens, simply use cucumber, celery or even parsley instead and mango and kiwi can be used in place of banana too.

  • 30 g Salad leaves
  • 1 Small ripe banana, chopped
  • 200 ml Coconut water
  • 1 tsp Lime juice
  • Some frozen raspberries
  1. Place the kale, salad leaves, banana, coconut water and lime juice in a blender and blend for 
1–2 minutes or until smooth.
  2. Divide the mixture among 8-10 popsicles moulds with a couple of frozen raspberries. Insert a popsicle stick into each mould. Place in freezer to firm up overnight.

Marinated Zucchini Salad

Sunday, May 31, 2015

http://schneiderchen.de | © 2015 | http://angiesrecipes.blogspot.com




A simple marinated zucchini salad from Donna Hay. Raw zucchini salad can be rather dull, but when very thinly sliced, they soak up the flavour of a vinaigrette perfectly through marinating. This fresh, tasty recipe will come in handy when zucchini starts producing in your garden.

  • 60 ml White balsamic vinegar
  • 60 ml Lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp Finely grated lemon zest
  • 2 Chilli peppers, deseeded and finely chopped
  • 2 Garlic cloves, crushed
  • 2 tbsp Olive oil
  • Sea salt and cracked black pepper
  • 600 g Zucchini, thinly sliced
  • 1 Small red onion, cut into rings, optional
  • A handful of chives
  1. Place the balsamic vinegar, lemon juice, lemon zest, chilli pepper, garlic, olive oil, salt and pepper in a bowl and mix to combine.
  2. Cut zucchini crosswise into thin round slices with a knife or a mandolin. Add the sliced zucchini and red onion if used, to the marinade and toss to coat. Allow to marinate for 10 minutes. Place on a serving plate and top with the chopped chives to serve.

Eggplant Fans with Yoghurt

Tuesday, May 12, 2015

http://schneiderchen.de | © 2015 | http://angiesrecipes.blogspot.com




In celebration of World Hunger Day on the 28th May, I have challenged myself to create this delicious eggplant recipe that comes in below the poverty line – at just 33pence / 45cents per head to support the MyVoucherCodes/World Hunger Day campaign, helping people lift themselves out of poverty as well as raising money for the charity World Hunger Project.
If you are looking for more gourmet options rather than being stuck on this budget friendly version, then use some homemade tomato pasta sauce with fresh herbs and olive oil instead and replace the yoghurt topping with a creamy Parmesan sauce as the original recipe has recommended.
Can you put together a delicious and healthy dish for just 33p a head? Challenge your frugal cooking skills, help spread awareness and raise money for charity by signing up here.

Eggplant Fans with Yoghurt

90cents / 66pence
  • 1 Eggplant 33cents / 25p
  • 1 tin x 400 g Chunky tomato sauce 35cents /26p
  • 1 Tomato, 10cents / 7p
  • 1 clove Garlic, thinly sliced 1,5cents / 1p
  • 2 tsp Sunflower oil 3cents / 2p
  • Fresh thyme sprigs 1,5cents / 1p
  • Salt and pepper 0.5p
  • 2 tbsp 1.5% Plain yoghurt 4,8cents / 3.5p
  1. Preheat oven to 200C/400F. Cut the eggplants in half, keeping the stem end intact. Place an eggplant half, flesh side down, on a work surface. Use a sharp knife to cut 6 long slits from below the stem to the base. Use your hand to press down on the slices to form a fan. Repeat with remaining eggplant.
  2. Divide the tomato sauce among 2 baking dishes. Place the eggplant fans on top. Cut tomato into 10 slices lengthways. Place a slice between each eggplant slice. Sprinkle with the garlic and thyme. Drizzle each with one teaspoon of sunflower oil. Bake, swapping the trays halfway through cooking, for 35 minutes or until the eggplant is golden and tender.
  3. Season the yoghurt with salt, pepper and thyme leaves. Divide the eggplant fans among serving plates and spoon over the yoghurt.

These stuffed peppers, adapted from lidlkochen, are creamy, sweet, crunchy and made the perfect summer party appetizer. If you don’t like goat cheese, they also work great with Feta. Sweet pointed peppers are a lot sweeter than ordinary sweet peppers and they also have a thinner skin, and can be eaten either raw or cooked.

  • 50 g Pine nuts, toasted and roughly chopped
  • 2 Rosemary sprigs
  • 1/4 tsp Orange zest
  • 375 g Fresh goat cheese
  • 100 g Crème fraîche
  • Salt and pepper
  • 6 Sweet pointed peppers, halved lengthways through the stalk and deseeded
  1. Put the nuts in a dry skillet and cook over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, until lightly golden, about 2 minutes. Remove and leave to cool. Roughly chop the pine nuts.
  2. Pull the needle-like leaves off the rosemary sprigs and finely chop them.
  3. Mix together the fresh goat cheese, half of chopped rosemary leaves, orange zest and crème fraîche in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
  4. Fill the pointed pepper halves with the goat cheese mixture and sprinkle with the rest of rosemary leaves.

Saturday, May 02, 2015

http://schneiderchen.de | © 2015 | http://angiesrecipes.blogspot.com




This simple, natural gluten free recipe for a satisfying, tasty red lentil-quinoa eggplant salad stack is full of all the things a balanced, nutritious meal requires: vitamins, fiber, carbohydrates, and protein.
Quinoa is a delicious whole "grain" that is easy to digest, full of high quality complete protein, fiber, and magnesium. Nutritionally mighty lentils are a very good source of cholesterol-lowering fiber and also provide good amounts of protein and minerals.

  • 100 g Quinoa
  • 100 g Red lentils
  • 2 Large aubergine, cut crossways into twelve 1.5cm-thick slices
  • Olive oil spray
  • A few cherry tomatoes, diced
  • 1 Small red onion, diced
  • 3 tbsp Chopped spring onions
  • 2 tbsp White balsamic vinegar
  • 2-3 tbsp Olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Some baby salad leaves
  • Balsamic cream, optional
  1. Put the quinoa in a sieve and rinse in cold water. Cook the quinoa in a pot of boiling water for 10-15 minutes until tender, drain well, then set aside to cool.
  2. Rinse and drain the red lentils. Pop them in a pot with 1 cup of water. Bring to the boil, then turn down and simmer for about 5 minutes until tender yet firm.
  3. Heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Spray the eggplant with olive oil spray. Add half the eggplant to the pan and cook for 6 minutes each side or until tender and golden. Repeat with remaining eggplant.
  4. In a bowl, place the quinoa, red lentils, tomato, red onion, and spring onions in a bowl. Drizzle over the balsamic vinegar and the oil. Season with salt and pepper. Toss to combine.
  5. Layer the eggplant slices with lentil-quinoa mixture, finishing with a slice of eggplant. Top with some salad leaves. Drizzle over some balsamic cream over to serve.

Eggless Turmeric and Aniseed Einkorn Cake / Sfouf

Monday, April 27, 2015

http://schneiderchen.de | © 2015 | http://angiesrecipes.blogspot.com




http://schneiderchen.de | © 2015 | http://angiesrecipes.blogspot.com


Sfouf is a famous Lebanese delicacy infused with aniseed and turmeric spices. Traditionally it's made with semolina flour and lots of sugar. I have tweaked the recipe found on SBS to fit my taste featuring homeground einkorn flour, pure stevia powder and mango puree. The recipe is rather forgiving, so feel free to use other grains (spelt makes a great substitute) and nuts. The cake is traditionally cut into squares or diamond shapes before serving, that’s why it is called Sfouf, meaning “rows” in Arabic.

  • 1 tsp Aniseed powder
  • 80 ml Water
  • 185 ml Milk
  • 100 g Mango puree
  • 0,5 g Pure stevia powder
  • 125 ml Sunflower oil
  • 280 g Einkorn, ground into flour
  • 1 tsp Baking powder
  • 2 tsp Turmeric powder
  • 50 g Pine nuts
  1. Grease and line a 20cm springform pan with parchment paper. Place aniseed powder and water in a small saucepan over high heat and bring to the boil. Cook for 2 minutes or until reduced to about 60ml. Turn off the heat and cool the mixture aside.
  2. Whisk milk, mango puree, pure stevia powder, oil and aniseed mixture until well combined. Preheat oven to 180C/350F.
  3. Sift flour, baking powder and turmeric in a large bowl, then make a well in the centre. Pour in milk mixture, whisking to combine, then pour into the prepared pan. Scatter with pine nuts and bake for 45 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean. Cool in pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Beetroot and Lentil Salad with Wasabi Caviar

Monday, April 20, 2015

http://schneiderchen.de | © 2015 | http://angiesrecipes.blogspot.com




This salad, quick and easy to prepare, is full of protein and fibre and so deliciously filling and good for you. It is naturally gluten-free and works beautifully as a substantial lunch or side dish. Unlike most legumes, lentils don't need to be presoaked, but they still offer all the same protein and fiber benefits and an excellent gluten-free carb source.

  • 150 g Brown or green lentils
  • 1 Bay leaf
  • Sea salt and pepper
  • 400 g Vacuum-packed beetroot, cut into thick slices
  • 60 ml Balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tbsp Walnut oil
  • 50 g Arugula
  • Wasabi caviar
  1. Rinse the lentils and put them in a saucepan with plenty of lightly salted water and bay leaf. Bring to a boil, decrease the heat to a simmer, and cook for 15 minutes. Drain well, discard the bay leaf, then transfer to a large bowl.
  2. Place sliced beets in a medium pan over medium-high heat. Sprinkle some salt over and add in balsamic. Bring to simmer and cook, stirring, for 5 minutes until thickened and syrupy.
  3. Whisk together walnut oil, red wine vinegar, salt and pepper. Add to lentils. Toss to coat.
  4. Add the glazed beetroot and arugula to the lentils and gently toss together. Season to taste. Transfer to a serving plate and add some wasabi caviar on top and serve immediately.
