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.
  3. Put the whole cauliflower on a warm serving platter. Spoon the sauce over the top and sprinkle with the chopped greens. Serve immediately.

Kamut Pepita Tuiles

Monday, February 03, 2014

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




Tuiles (French for 'tile') are wafer thin cookies that can be shaped over the handle of a rolling pin when warm from the oven. They are simple to make, and provide a crispy texture. I like these light and crunchy tuiles just as they are, but they go perfectly alongside the cheese dip, or as a garnish for the ice cream.

Kamut Pepita Tuiles

adapted from No Frills Recipes
  1. Whisk together the ground kamut and pure stevia powder. Make a well in the centre, add in the melted coconut oil, lightly beaten egg whites and vanilla. Add in pepitas and mix until well combined. Allow the mixture to rest for 30 minutes.
  2. Preheat the oven to 180C/350F. Spread the mixture about a teaspoonful at a time on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Spread them thinly and bake for 13-15 minutes or until crispy.
  3. Let cool in the baking sheet for 10 minutes before transferring onto a wire rack to cool completely. Store crisps in an air-tight cookie jar.

Pistachio Spelt Sablés with Rose Pepper Berries

Thursday, January 30, 2014

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




The Chinese New Year for 2014 is on Friday, January 31st and marks the start of the Year of the Horse. So I would like to wish all of my supportive readers who are celebrating Chinese Spring Festival, have an enriching and pleasant Chinese New Year and may this new year of the HORSE lead you to the path of peace, happiness and good fortune!
If you were born in the Year of the Horse (1918, 1930, 1942, 1954, 1966, 1978, 1990, 2002, and 2014), 2014 is your "běn mìng nián-本命年". According to Chinese tradition, one should wear a red pullover, or red gloves, or red socks, anything red. Because "běn mìng nián-本命年" is also called a threshold year which it is believed is hard to get through. Chinese people believe that RED is a lucky colour, which can help people get through challenges and rid themselves of any misfortunes coming from their "běn mìng nián-本命年".

Pistachio Spelt Sablés with Rose Pepper Berries

These sablés, adapted slightly from Küchen Götter, are a traditional French shortbread with a crumbly texture with white spelt, chopped pistachios and rose pepper berries. Coconut oil can be replaced with butter.

  • 200 g Refined white spelt flour
  • 0,3 g Steviosid / pure stevia extract powder
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • 1/2 tbsp Finely grated lemon zest
  • 100 g Coconut oil
  • 1 Egg white, lightly beaten
  • 55 g Pistachios, roughly chopped
  • 2 tbsp Rose pepper berries
  1. In a large mixing bowl, add in flour, stevia extract powder, salt and lemon zest. Whisk to combine. Add in coconut oil, rub the ingredients just to combine, then mix in egg white. Fold in chopped pistachios, then press the mixture against the side of the bowl to bring it together.
  2. Now transfer the dough to a board and knead lightly, then roll into an 9”-long log about 1½” in diameter, pushing dough together if it feels crumbly. Wrap tightly and chill in the freezer for 30 minutes or until firm.
  3. Preheat the oven to 160C/320F, fan forced. Remove the cookie log from the freezer and roll with rose pepper berries, then gently press with your fingers to help the berries adhere.
  4. Cut the log into ¼”-thick rounds and transfer to 2 parchment-lined baking sheets, spacing ½” apart. Bake for 12 minutes, rotating baking sheets halfway through, until set around edges and centers look dry, 12 minutes. Transfer to wire racks and let cool.

Kamut Spelt Bread

Monday, January 27, 2014

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



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


Spelt (dinkel wheat ) and kamut (khorasan wheat) are heirloom wheat varieties that contain gluten. So they are NOT for celiacs. If you are not diagnosed with gluten sensitivity and can enjoy these two 'ancient grains' with no side effects, then you’ll find that both have a rich buttery, nutty flavour and excellent nutritional profile.
This easy bread recipe comes from 'Brot selbst gebacken' by Kristiane Müller-Urban. You can make this bread using emmer, einkorn or modern common wheat.

  • 20 g Fresh yeast
  • 1 tsp Sugar
  • 50 ml Water, lukewarm
  • 300 g White spelt flour
  • 200 g Kamut kernels, ground into flour
  • 200 ml Buttermilk, lukewarm
  • 50 g Olive oil
  • 1 Small egg
  • 1 tbsp Honey
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • Bean paste, homemade or store-bought
  • 1 Small egg beaten with 2 teaspoons water (egg wash)
  • 1 tbsp Chopped peanuts
  1. Crumble the fresh yeast into the bowl of your stand mixer. Add in sugar, 3 tablespoons of spelt flour, and 50 ml water. Stir until combined. Cover and set aside for 10 minutes.
  2. In another bowl mix together lukewarm buttermilk, olive oil, egg, honey and salt.
  3. Add the ground kamut, the rest of white spelt into the yeast mixture. Roughly stir together. Add in buttermilk-honey mixture. Stir at low speed until a soft dough forms. Increase the speed and knead until the dough cleans the sides of the bowl.
  4. Cover the bowl with a plastic film and set aside at a warm place for an hour until doubled in volume. Punch down the dough and divide into two portions, one is 480 grams, the other 360 grams (or 600-gram and 240 -gram). Divide the 480-gram-dough into 16 pieces (600-gram-dough into 20 pieces), each 30 grams and 360-gram-dough into 6 pieces (or 240 -gram into 4 pieces), each 60 grams.
  5. Wrap each 30-gram-dough with 15 grams of red bean filling. Shape into balls and place 8 dough balls into the base of a loaf pan and top with another 8 dough balls. Shape each 60-gram-dough into a ball. Place them on a parchment-lined baking tray.
  6. Cover with a kitchen towel and let rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or just until doubled in volume. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 190C/375F. Gently brush the egg wash mixture over the loaf and buns. Sprinkle the top of loaf with chopped peanuts.
  7. Bake the loaf for about 35 minutes and dinner buns for 20 minutes until the tops are golden brown. Remove them to a cooling rack or serve immediately.

Rutabaga Radicchio Salad with Silken Tofu Dressing

Wednesday, January 22, 2014

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




Grated rutabagas and shredded radicchio are dressed with a creamy silken tofu dressing. Apple juice reduction and apple cider vinegar add a perfectly sweet and tangy element to the dressing. Freshly chopped parsley is used in the salad to highlighten the flavours and to give it some extra colour.
Rutabaga, also know as Swede, is a nutritious root vegetable derived from turnips and cabbage, and has a sweet earthiness and is not peppery as turnips. It can be eaten raw or cooked.

Tofu DressingSalad
  • 200 ml Apple juice
  • 4 tbsp Apple cider vinegar
  • 3 tbsp Light soya sauce
  • 400 g Silken tofu
  • 2 tbsp Sesame seed oil
  • 3 tbsp Sunflower oil
  • 500 g Rutabaga, peeled and grated
  • 60 g Radicchio, shredded
  • 1 handful Parsley, roughly chopped
  1. Place apple juice in a saucepan and boil until reduced by half. Add in apple cider vinegar and soya sauce. Mix well and pour into the blender. Drain the tofu and add into the apple juice mixture. Blend until smooth. Add in sesame seed oil and sunflower oil. Blend for a minute on high.
  2. Use a sharp knife or vegetable peeler to peel the rutabaga. Peel enough of the skin so that the flesh exposed is yellow. Shred the rutabaga with a grater, mandolin or a food processor. Thinly shred the radicchio. Roughly chop the parsley.
  3. Put the grated rutabaga strips, shredded radicchio and chopped parsley in a large salad bowl. Add in 1 cup of dressing and toss all together until well combined. Cover with a plastic film and store in the fridge for a couple of hours to allow the flavours to mingle.
