  • 1 flax egg made from 1 tbsp flaxmeal and water
  • ½ cup raw sugar
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • 2 cups flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda and baking powder each
  • ¼ tsp sea salt
  • 2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 medium zucchini, grated, resulting in about 1 ½ to 2 cups
  • 8 – 10 walnuts, toasted

Preheat oven to 175° C (350 Fahrenheit) and toast walnuts on a baking sheet for about 5 minutes. Remove baking sheet from oven. Grease a loaf pan.

In a large bowl, make a flax egg by mixing 1 tbsp flaxmeal with sufficient water to create a viscous texture. Add sugar and oil, mix, add flour, baking soda and powder, salt and cinnamon. Grate zucchini and drain off some of the liquid. Stir into mixture. Add toasted walnuts. Pour dough into loaf pan and bake for about 50 minutes.

Wheatberry Porridge

Standard

The night before, give 1 cup of rinsed wheatberries and 4 cups of water into a saucepan. Add a dash of salt and bring to a boil. Reduce to medium heat and let cook for about 20 minutes, then turn off heat and let sit overnight.

In the morning, bring back to a boil, add a cup or two more water if necessary, reduce heat to medium. Add dried aronia berries, raisins, chopped dates, tart dried cherries, cinnamon, cardamom and diced fresh ginger. Cook until wheatberries are tender, plumb-looking and slightly open. This can take quite some time, I initially let them cook for 50 minutes, but they needed longer, so make sure to check every 10 or so minutes.

When done, fill portions into bowls, add some lime juice, a handful of nuts, some yoghurt and a bit of maple syrup.

Seaweed-Carrot Salad

Standard

Rinse and soak a handful of Arame for at least an hour.

Julienne three carrots and piece of ginger, and also cut diagonally to create thin, small pieces.

Rinse Arame and dry-roast in a pan until water is evaporated. Add hot water until Arame is covered. Add ginger. Let cook for at least 10 minutes, or until water is evaporated. Add shoyu, mix, and take from heat.

Mix everything together in a bowl, add a good dash of gomasio and some lime juice.

 

Hearty Autumn Stew

Standard

Rinse and soak a piece of Wakame sea vegetable along with a couple of dried Shiitake mushrooms and a handful of dried Porcini mushrooms for at least 30 minutes.

In a large saucepan, heat a tablespoon of coconut oil. Add a diced onion, two diced cloves of garlic and a piece of diced fresh ginger, along with a teaspoon of Panch Puran, cayenne pepper, black pepper, half a teaspoon of turmeric and a teaspoon of dried rosemary and dried tarragon each and heat until lightly browned, add sea salt. Add water and bring to a boil, then reduce to medium heat.

In the meantime, rinse seaweed and mushrooms, cut off tough stems and discard, and cut the mushroom heads into strips. Cut Wakame into strips as well. Add Wakame and mushrooms to stew.

Rinse half a cup to a cup of small yellow lentils and add them to the stew. Rinse about the same amount of millet first with hot, then cold water, and also add. Let the whole stew simmer for at least 20 minutes after this. Add diced beets and sliced carrots.

When the stew is done, give a tablespoon of miso paste into each bowl, along with some of the cooking liquid and stir together, then fill the bowls with the stew, stirring the miso paste into it. Season with Shoyu soy sauce.
