Breakfast / Gluten free breakfast
« on: February 24, 2010, 01:26:33 am »
I don't think much of packaged processed breakfast cereal and I wonder if many people have tried quinoa and brown rice for breakfast?
I soak a cup of quinoa overnight - sometimes I add chia seeds separately - 1 Tablespoon - and I add a squeeze of lemon or whey to help the overnight fermentation. The quinoa steams beautifully in the steamer basket for about 15 - 20 minutes. I use leftover brown rice - equal amount - add a grated apple - and this morning I added the TM plum sauce I made yesterday ( more like sauce than jam) and the TM coconut yoghurt and a drizzle of maple syrup and some lecithen granules( great for the liver) and it was divine! Any other fresh fruit would be nice on top as well.
Also, did you realize that the steamer or the basket can be used very well for reheating - more healthy than the microwave and quite quick. If you have liquids or very small granules that could escape from the basket, just use baking paper like a bowl in the basket or Veroma dish.

Seafood and Fish / Citrus dressing for fish
« on: February 22, 2010, 12:32:30 am »
I made this last night and it was gorgeous! The recipe was in the 2009 calendar.
I halved the total recommended dressing and the total amount of seafood. There was plenty of dressing left over but I will use that for a salad or poached chicken I think. I also added a tablespoon of honey to the dressing and halved the amount of fruit juice.
In regard to the steaming time for the seafood, I found that the 4 scallops, 8 prawns, small fillet of monkfish and one fillet of salmon were perfectly cooked at 9 minutes - the larger piecesw of fish were in the dish and the prawns etc on the tray.
Definitely worth trying and pretty simple! Toni
