Sweet Potato Plum Pesto Starter

Posted on by — Leave a reply

170900 Sweet Potato Pesto Plum Starter-7702

This starter really has it all; it’s sweet, it’s spicy, it’s sour and it has crunch!!
My garden is overflowing with plums so I try to create as many varying dishes with plums as I can. This is a layered sweet potato dish that can be served with or without a spoonful of Greek yoghurt.

Serves 4

Sweet potato:
1-2 large sweet potato, peeled
Olive oil
Coarse salt

1. Heat oven to 205 C
2. Slice the sweet potato (you need 3 slices per person)
3. Coat with olive oil and sprinkle some salt on top
4. Bake in oven for about 30 minutes

Plum mix:
75 ml cut up (pitted) plums
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tsp apple cider vinegar

• Gently fry the plums in the oil. If you, like me, have sweet plums, add the vinegar. If the plums are really sour, add a few drops of agave instead.

Pesto:
75 ml shelled pistachios
100 ml loosely packed basil leaves
½ tablespoon lemon juice
1,5 tablespoon olive oil
Pinch of salt
1 clove crushed garlic
½ tsp chili flakes

Plus some extra basil leaves for decoration

• Combine all pesto ingredients in a mini prep and run until well combined but still chunky (crunchy).

Plate:
• Start by drizzling some plum mix on the plate, then layer the sweet potato, plum mix and pesto with three layers of each. Decorate the plate with some drops of juice from the plum mix and some basil leaves. Enjoy.

3. Serve

Red Sauce

170607 Not a Ketchup-5514

Red Sauce (not a ketchup).
Sometimes, it is good to have some healthy, tasty sauces on hand. I like to make this Kidney Bean sauce which can be used together with so many different things. It’s beautiful pinkish red coloured sauce to plate with (goes especially well with smoked and BBQ dishes). Make ahead and keep in the fridge.
Below you will find three other suggested uses.

The Red Sauce:
250 g Kidney Beans, cooked (about 350 ml)
1 lemon, juice from
1 tablespoon olive oil
½ medium sized red onion
1 tsp apple cider vinegar
A few drops of honey
Pinch of salt
½ tsp chili flakes

1. Run in blender until smooth. Taste. Season some more if needed.
2. If too thick add another spoon of olive oil. Consistency should be like a smooth apple sauce.

SERVE AS A SAUCE WITH GRILLED AUBERGINE/EGGPLANT AND DIJON BALSAMIC DRESSING: (great starter or snack)

– pour the Red Sauce into a squeezy bottle and place in fridge until time of use.

Dijon Balsamic Dressing:170607 Not a Ketchup -5569
50 ml olive oil
50 ml red wine vinegar
1 tsp Dijon mustard
Salt

1. Whisk or shake to combine. Make sure it blends well.
2. This sauce is rather thin, plate with pipette or drop from tip of spoon.
3. Drizzle on plate.

Roasted Aubergine:
1 large, sliced aubergine
Olive oil
Sea salt

1. Oven on 200 C
2. Place on baking sheet. Drizzle with salt and oil.
3. Roast 35 minutes.

SERVE ON TOP OF AN AVOCADO SANDWICH:
Please see my previously posted Crisp Bread recipe.
SERVE AS A DIP:
– with serve with carrot sticks, celery or sliced apple

Marinated Carrots with Fennel Foam

Posted on by — Leave a reply

170531 Carrots with Fennel-5470

A healthy, tasty and colourful starter! Sometimes, I add a few drops of brandy to the foam (a little goes a very long way) which adds a rounder flavour. Possible a drop of vinegar would have the same effect?

2 large carrots, thinly sliced (best to use a mandolin slicer)
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 tablespoons olive oil
Sea salt

Some fresh spinach leaves on the plate to serve on.

1. Heat oven on high grill setting
2. Toss the carrot slices with juice, oil and salt. Leave for 30 minutes.
3. Place the carrot slices on an oven sheet
4. Roast under the grill for about 10 minutes, until slightly charred and caramelized

Fennel Foam:
1 fennel bulb, tips and “grassy tops” only
Water
Ice wate170600 Carrots with Fennel-5447r

A few drops agave syrup
Dash of salt
½ tsp olive oil

½ tsp lecithin

1. Cut off the tops (including the grassy parts) from the fennel bulb. The bulb can be saved for use another time.
2. Bring some water to boil and blanch the tops for 30 seconds.
3. Remove the tops from the boiling water and put in an ice bath (to secure the green colour).
4. When cool, place in blender with a 2 table spoons of water. Add some more water if needed. You want a smooth, thick mix but do not over blend.
5. Add the syrup, salt and oil. Blend briefly to mix.
6. Set aside until you are ready to make the foam (may be prepared and kept in the fridge until the following day)
7. Mix in the lecithin.
8. Pour the mix into a large shallow container. Using a handheld blender, incorporate air into the mix, thus creating a foam. Might take a few minutes! Spoon off the foam into a separate bowl and repeat until you have a bowl of foam.

Serve the carrots with the foam on top.

Alternative to the foam:
If you’d rather make a fennel cream to go with the carrots, you can either mix in a couple of tablespoons of coconut cream or some double cream. No lecithin. By choosing the coconut cream you will have less of the fennel taste and, instead, some coconut flavour which goes wonderfully with the carrots.

(On this photo I have sprinkled some black, Hawaiian salt on top.)

170208 Beetroot Quinoa-4330

I know cooks who avoid cooking with beetroots as they turn everything bright red. But beetroots are so delicious and versatile!! This dish can be served as a great side, starter or as a full meal. A delicious alternative to an ordinary risotto. The parmesan can be replaced with nutritional yeast.

1 lemon, zest and juice
100 ml finely grated parmesan cheese or 50 ml nutritional yeast

salt and pepper
Plus, the steamed beetroots (those you’ve just steamed)

4 beetroot stalks and leaves, washed and chopped (leave some for the decoration, if you are using the leaves then quickly blanch them in boiling water before serving)

200 ml uncooked quinoa
500 ml water
salt

Olive oil
Parmesan shavings or finely diced beetroot stalks

1. Oven at 200 C
2. Trim the stalks and tips of the beetroots
3. Place in foil with oil and water, close the foil and steam in the oven for 45 minutes
4. Take out, cool for a bit and then peel (the peel will just fall off, you can use paper towels to rub it off)
5. Put beetroots and mixing ingredients in a food processor. Run until smooth. Set aside.
6. Cook the quinoa.
7. In a pan, sauté the onion and garlic in oil until soft. Add the chopped stalks and leaves.

Thin Crust Pepper Pizza

Posted on by — Leave a reply

170125 Thin Crust Pizza-4296

Some people like their pizzas nice and thick. I published a wonderful recipe like that about a year ago (type in “pizza” in the search bar). Others want the crust really, really thin. This is a recipe for a really, really thin pizza crust that will have wonderful texture and won’t break when being handled. With this pizza I’m also posting my favorite red pepper pizza sauce (can also be used for many other dishes).

Makes 8 small pizzas

Sauce:
300 g roasted red peppers
2 tbsp olive oil
3 tbsp tomato puree
1 tbsp maple syrup
salt and pepper
1 garlic clove, crushed

Toppings:
Red onion
Mozzarella pieces
Mushrooms, sliced
Rocket salad
Grated cheese

Pizza crust:
12 g fresh yeast
300 ml room temperature water (plus some more to ensure you have a loose/sticky dough)
300 ml rice flour
150 ml buckwheat
50 ml cornstarch
2 tbsp psyllium husk (finely ground)
1 tsp salt
¼ tsp agave or rice syrup

Baking parchment (oven proof paper) enough for 8 small pizzas.

1. Combine the yeast with 50 ml water. Let proof for 10 minutes.
2. Add the remaining water and other ingredients for the crust. Mix well. You want a sticky dough, if too dry add some more water.
3. Let rise for 4 hours under plastic wrap.
4. Set the oven to 225 C and, if using a pizza stone, place the stone in the cold oven. Otherwise, place a baking tray in the oven.
5. Take out the dough, using rice flour, work it into a ball. Divide into 8 smaller balls.
6. Using a rolling pin, roll the dough into a 2 mm thick pizza round. Place on a baking parchment. Make only one pizza at the time (or more if they can fit into the oven at the same time).
7. Combine all ingredients for the sauce, run in a blender.
8. Spread the sauce on top, add the sliced mushrooms, mozzarella pieces, red onion and the grated cheese on top.
9. Place the pizza (on the paper) on the baking tray or the pizza stone.
10. Put in the hot oven, bake for 12-15 minutes.
11. Add the rocket salad.

Charred tomatoes:
Vine tomatoes
Olive oil
Butan torch

1. Brush the tomatoes with some olive oil, avoiding the greens.
2. Using a butan torch, scorch the skin of the tomatoes, avoiding the greens as much as possible.

Lemon infused Carrots and Elderflower infused Beetroots

Posted on by — Leave a reply

161220-infused-veggies-3374

Surprise your guest by serving vegetables with a whole new taste to them! First dehydrate your vegetables so that they lose a lot of their moisture, then add a new flavour of moisture by infusing the vegetable for a long time in a chosen liquid. WILL TAKE A COUPLE OF DAYS TO MAKE!

This is such a fun project. You really do need a food dehydrator for this one though. An oven may be used but it will need to stay on low temp for many hours…

I infused the carrots with lemon and the beetroots with elderflower but there are endless possibilities of combinations. A pretty foam and some greens will go nicely with this beautiful dish.

A “sous vide” to cook the vegetables in low temperature is useful for this recipe but not necessary.

Serves 4

Ingredients:

Carrots:
12 small and thin carrots
Liquid: 100 ml lemon juice mixed with 200 ml water

1. Wash and scrub the carrots. Then let dry at 45 C for at least 15 hours (depending on the size of your carrot) in your food dehydrator.
2. If cooking in a sous vide: Place your vegetable in a freezer zip lock bag, pour the liquid in, press as much air out as you possibly can (submerge the bag into water up to the top of the bag, that way the air will be pressed out of the bag, then close the bag). Put the bag in the sous vide pan, set it for 60 C and cook for 10 hours. No, the carrots will not get soggy at this low temperature cooking.
3. If cooking in a pan on the stove, let simmer (or just below simmer) in the liquid until almost soft. Then cool and let sit in the juice for another 4-5 hours.

Beetroots:
4 small beetroots
Liquid: 200 ml elderflower syrup and 300 ml water

1. Scrub the beetroot well removing the outer skin. I usually use plastic gloves for this step.
2. Place in a dehydrator 50C for 24 hours. Or in an oven 70 C for 14 hours. Depending on the size of your beetroot.
3. When all shrivelled up it is time to replace the moisture with the elderflower mix.
4. Either place in a bag (as above) and cook in a sous vide 70C for 3 hours, or, simmer on the stove (covered with the liquid) for 60-90 minutes. Take away from the heat and keep in the hot water for another hour. Then keep in the fridge for 3-4 hours.

Now you have “carrolemons” and “elderbeets”. Serve with some greens, an elderflower/beetroot foam and some salt.

Eldeflower/beetroot foam:
150 ml elderflower liquid (that you boiled the beetroots in).
About 1 gram of soy lecithin.

1. Take 150 ml of the elderflower liquid that you boiled the beetroots in.
2. Pour into a shallow dish.
3. Add the soy lecithin.
4. Tilt the dish and, using an immersion blender, whisk air into the mixture. May take a few minutes to get enough foam. Spoon off the resulting foam and let it sit to stabilize a few minutes in a separate bowl.

Spoon the foam onto the dish. Serve immediately (the foam may start to disappear in about 10 minutes).

Carrots Carrots Carrots

161123-carrot-salad-3431

Sometimes you come across the most beautiful carrots in several colours. Take the opportunity of this and make a Carrot Salad. Soften the carrots a bit with this marinade and serve as a starter or as part of a main course. Beautiful, simple and delicious.

Ingredients:

3 different coloured carrots

Marinade:
100 ml olive oil
100 ml white wine vinegar
1 tbsp honey
2 tbsp lemon juice
Salt and pepper

Basil to decorate, cut into chiffonade (thinly sliced)

Day one:
1. Using a peeler, shave long thin strands of the carrots. Reserve the remaining carrot “blocks” (the part that is too small to shave any more strand from).
2. Whisk the marinade. Combine all strands of carrot except for the dark coloured (the colour might bleed and stain the others) and pour the marinade on top, saving some for the dark coloured strands which should marinate in a separate bowl (again, to save the colours from bleeding). Refrigerate.
3. Now take the remaining carrot “blocks”, cut into small pieces (brunoise) and again, keep the dark coloured apart. Add some lemon juice and set aside in the fridge.
Day two:
1. Plate the strands and the brunoise of carrots in a fun way. Now is OK to combine the dark colour with the lighter, they won’t bleed too much.
2. Sprinkle the basil on top and serve as a starter or as a side.

 

Parmesan Basket of Tomato Salad with Maple Vinaigrette

Posted on by — Leave a reply

161026-parmesan-basket-salad-0125

Sometimes you just need a reminder of the good old classics. This is such a fun way to serve your salad (or risotto, or green beans, or…). These baskets are quite impressive but very easy to make. Sometimes I add sunflower seeds to the parmesan, make them much smaller and serve them as finger food with various fillings. You can make pretty much any shape to make them fit your dish – how about a rectangular basket for your asparagus?

Makes 6 medium sized baskets

150 g parmesan cheese, coarsely grated

750 g cherry tomatoes in many colours, quartered
1 red onion, finely chopped

6 tbsp balsamic vinegar
1,5 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 tbsp maple syrup
6 tbsp olive oil
Salt and pepper

1. Oven on 180 C
2. Place 6 round patties of parmesan cheese on baking parchment (on an oven tray). Let the cheese melt until golden, about 10-15 minutes.
3. Take out of oven, cut out the baking parchment (the parmesan is easier to handle if you hold on to the paper) around each parmesan round. Hang the parmesan round over an up-side down glass or coffee cup, remove the paper and let cool. Your basket is now ready.
4. To make the dressing, simmer the balsamic vinegar until thickened and reduced to half the amount. Let cool. Add lemon juice, syrup and salt and pepper. Lastly, while whisking, slowly incorporate the olive oil.
5. Chop the salad, place in the basket and drizzle with dressing.

Lemony Coriander Hummus

161012-lemon-coriander-hummus-3090

This hummus is easy to make your own, bursting with fresh coriander/cilantro and lemon flavours. The hummus can be served as a dip or as a sauce. Here I’ve simply made individual servings as starters (with some crackers on the side). Enjoy! (This is a low fodmap recipe.)

The hummus:
400 g canned (or soaked and cooked) chickpeas, drained
2 lemons, juice
150 ml loosely packed fresh coriander
1 tsp toasted sesame oil
A pinch of salt
(a few drops of maple syrup to bring out the flavour, optional or, agave, if you are not low fodmap)
Some olive oil, if needed, so create a softer texture. (to be added last, if needed)

To serve:
½ of lemon per person
1 coriander leaf per person
(optional, some olive oil to drizzle over the dish)

1. Place all the ingredients for the hummus in a mixer and run until smooth.
2. Taste and add more coriander or lemon if needed.
3. Take half a lemon and cut off a small piece of the base so that it can steadily stand on a plate.
4. Cut of a thin, long strand along the top of the lemon (see photo) and keep it attached at one end. Make a knot on the lemon strand.
5. Using a small ice cream scoop, melon baller or similar, create little balls, flatten the base and place on top of the lemon.
6. Add a fresh leaf of coriander on top.
