Homemade caramel

Mmm homemade salted caramel

I wasn’t planning on making caramel. This is a great recipe beginning! I was grocerry shopping online and accidentaly added tamarind. I already have tamaring paste which I use for cooking and I don’t really need more. So i was thinking what else I could do with it. And since fresh tamarind has this sweet and saury taste I thought this can turn into a great caramel paste!

It’s thick, sweet, saury and salty. There are only 2 main ingredients and there is no additional sugar added! This is a kind of caramel you can eat without feeling guilty!

Ingredients:

- 100g tamarind - 100g dates - water - sea salt

Method:

Peel tamarind from shells and remove the seeds. If you’re dates have seeds, remove them as well.

Place both, tamarind and dates in the bowl and cover with warm water. Let it soak for about an hour. I added water just to cover the ingredients, not a lot. The dates and tamaring will soak most of the water.

After 1 hour, add some sea salt and blend it all until smooth paste.

Keep it in the refrigerator. Use to top up waffles, oatmeals or in pie!

That’s it : ) Super easy homemade, healthy caramel with unusual flavor!

Nie planowałam robienia karmelu. To jest niezły sposób aby zacząć ten przepis! Robiłam zakupy spożywcze przez internet i przypadkowo wrzuciłam tamaryndowca. Mam już pastę z tamaryndowca, którą używam do gotowania więc kompletnie nie potrzebuje robienia jeszcze więcej. Więc zastanawiałam się co by z nim zrobić. Biorąc pod uwagę, że jego smak jest słodko kwaśny pomyślałam, że może z tego wyjść niezły karmel! 

Jest gęsty, słodki, lekko kwaśny i słonawy. Zrobiony z tylko dwóch głównych składników i nie ma w nim dodatkowego cukru! Z takim karmelem można grzeszyć bez wyrzutów sumienia!

Składniki:

- 100g tamarindowca - 100g daktyli - woda - sól morska

Sposób przygotowania:

Obierz tamaryndowiec z łupin i wyciągnij pestki. Jeśli daktyle, których używasz mają pestki, również się ich pozbądź.

Włoż tamaryndowca i daktyle do miski i zalej ciepłą wodą w ilości takiej żeby tylko je przykryć. Odstaw na około godzinę. Składniki wpiją większość wody.

Po godzinie dodaj sól morską i zblenduj wszystko na jednolitą pastę.

Przechowuj w lodówce. Używaj do gofrów, owsianek lub ciasta!

To tyle : ) Super szybki i prosty sposób na domowy, zdrowy karmel o niecodziennym smaku!

Baked oatmeal with apples

​Baked oatmeal like apple pie

When you are craving a cake why not make a nice and healthy baked oatmeal? It’s breakfast and dessert in one!

It’s been a while since I baked oatmeal but when I saw a video from talented Deliciously Ella I was literally drooling. The best part is that you can make so many variations using different fruits and spices. You can make a big bake to save time and reheat it for breakfast on the other day!

On the day of making it I had few not so fresh apples so I decided to make an apple baked oatmeal which turned out as a delicious apple cake! The proportions and method is so good, I cannot wait to try it with plums or other seasonal fruits.

So let’s make a pie!

Ingredients:

·         60g oats

·         hot water

·         2 small apples

·         1 banana

·         piece of grated ginger

·         2 handfuls od nuts and seeds

·         1 tbsp goji berries

·         1 tbsp chia seeds

·         few chopped dates

·         2 tsp cinnamon

·         5 tbsp plant milk

Method:

Preheat the oven to 180C. In one bowl add the oats and cover with hot water. Set aside so the oats soak the water in.

Peel the apples and cut into pieces. Save few slices for the top. Mash the banana and add it to the oats.

Crush or chop the nuts into pieces, add to the bowl with the rest of ingredients.

Stir together and place to the baking dish. Press few more slices of apple at the top and sprinkle with more nuts. Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden. Serve warm with coconut yogurt.

Można zrobic duza owsianke żeby zaoszczedzic czas i tylko ja podgrzac nastepnego dnia na sniadanie!

W dniu w którym ja zrobilam mialam kilka już przelezalych jablek wiec zdecydowalam się zrobic jablkowa pieczona owsianke, która wyszla jak ciasto jablkowe! Proporcje i sposób wykonania jest tak dobry, ze nie mogę się doczekac żeby wyprobowac ten przepis ze sliwkami lub innymi sezonowymi owocami.

Adzuki beans pate

Adzuki beans pate with mushrooms and smoked dried plums

Ingredients:

•500g cooked adzuki beans (200g dry)

•2 carrots

•500g mushrooms

•1 onion

•20g oil + more for frying

•50g oat flour

•handful of smoked dried plums

•3tsp smoked paprika

•1tsp chili

•1/4 tsp nutmeg

•2tsp oregano

•2tsp majoram

•1tsp thyme

Preparation:

Soak around 200g of dry adzuki beans for 8-12 hours. Then replace the water and cook until soft (approx. 40min).

Wash and peel 2 medium sized carrots and cook until soft.

Peel and cut the onion.

Wash and slice the mushrooms. Heat up 2 tbsp of oil, add onion, mushrooms and fry.

Place the beans and carrots into food processor and blend. Add spices, oil and flour and combine together. Then add the mushrooms and process as you prefer. I blended it just a bit to leave some bigger pieces as wanted the pate to be more chunky. Try and adjust the taste if needed.

Take the loaf pan, grease the sides and cover with a bit of flour. Transfer half of the pate and place dried plums in the middle, then cover with other half. Bake in 200C for 1 hour although it may depend on the oven - check with a wood stick if not soft inside.

Best served on a piece of fresh bread.

Gingerbread cookies based on family recipe🎄

These are my favorite Christmas cookies and i am so happy that I was able to make them plant based ✨

•240g plant butter, margarine

•200g agave syrup (maple syrup, molases)

•140g brown sugar

•3tsp baking powder

•2-3packs of gingerbread spice (mine were 23g each) depend on how instense you want the cookies to be

•2tsp ground nutmeg

•2tbsp cocoa

This is a one bowl recipe - mix all dry ingredients in the bowl.

Sweet Potato and White Beans Casserole with Avocado Sauce

Serves: 2 portions

Ingredients:

· 1 big sweet potato · olive oil · 200g white beans · 1 ripe avocado · garlic clove · lemon juice · 2 tbsp white vinegar · pumpkin seeds · breadcrumbs · coconut oil for the baking dishes · spices: chili, salt, pepper, cumin

Method:

Bake sweet potato in 200 C until soft (it took me around 30-40 min for potato cut in half). Mash the potato and mix with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, pepper and chili (I used 1 tsp flakes).

Prepare the beans. I cooked my beans but you can use canned beans – white or red, any beans are fine. In small pan combine beans with 1 tbsp olive oil, 2 tsp cumin, 2 tsp smoked paprika, 1 tsp chili flakes and salt. Cook for a while adding a bit of water if needed. Set aside.

Prepare the avocado sauce: mash the avocado and combine with juice from half lemon, 2 tbsp white vinegar, minced garlic, 1 tbsp olive oil, salt and pepper.

Prepare the casserole: grease your dish (I used two square dishes for oven baking). Place mashed potato at the bottom, then add the beans and cover the top with avocado sauce. Sprinkle with pumpkin seeds and breadcrumbs.

Bake in 200 C for 20-30 min until gold on top.

The casserole can be done bigger (just double the ingredients). This makes 2 lunch portions.

Vegan Oreo Cake

Ingredients:

· 200g millet · 450 ml almond / coconut milk · 200ml canned coconut milk · 4 spoons of sugar or rice syrup · juice from 1 lemon · 275 g Oreo cookies + few for decoration · 1tbsp cocoa powder · 100g soaked dates · 100gr nuts (I used a mix of almonds and peanuts · 1tbsp coconut oil

Method:

Rinse millet under hot water. It will clean the groats and prevent it from bitter taste. Cook it in plant milk with pinch of sugar and salt. I also add 1 spoon of coconut oil for creamier texture.

Prepare two bowls and separate oreo filling from biscuits. Divide biscuits into 2 parts. Place one part to the food processor, add soaked dates, nuts, cocoa powder and coconut oil. Blend together. If too dry – add more coconut oil or water from soaking dates.

Cover your pan (mine was around 26cm) with parchment paper and press the crust to it. Keep it in the fridge.

Once millet is cooked, blend it with lemon juice, sugar (or syrup) adding coconut milk until it’s nice and creamy, but not too liquid. Pour it on the crust and sprinkle the top with cocoa powder.

Blend second part of oreo cookies and put it on the top of your cake. Add few oreo’s for decoration and place the cake into the fridge for at least 2 hours – preferable overnight.

Enjoy!!
