Santa's Panforte
This nut and dried fruit chunky, sweet and chewy treat I assure you is highly addictive. The little bites will keep at room temperature for up to three months if wrapped well in plastic wrap and up to a year if kept in the fridge I am told by Zel Allen, the author of Vegan for the Holidays, from which book this recipe is adapted. This means you could get a jump start on your Christmas baking and I foolishly thought that if I made up a batch back in September, I would have some left over for Christmas. Uh, no. They didn't last for even a month, especially as I had friends and family around to enjoy them too. Darn, I'll just have to make them again.

Though an ideal holiday treat, I think you ought to have them on hand all year around for a quick and really rather healthy snack. When visitors drop by, you won't have to fuss and bother, but just serve up a few squares of this heavenly bark.

Panforte
I also highly recommend Ms. Allen's book for creative and unique solutions for holiday meals that are sure to please everyone. It often can be difficult to come up with special meals at holiday time that us pesky vegetarians and vegans will enjoy that will also please the carnivores at the table too, but this book, that I have written about before, not only makes it easy but especially enjoyable.

Jac is hosting this month's edition of No Croutons Required and the theme, as is tradition for December, is to submit a festive photo. This is my contribution.

Ingredients:
  • 2 cups pecans
  • 2 cups walnuts
  • 1 cup almonds
  • 1 cup dried apricots, finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup dates, pitted and finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup prunes, finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup dried cranberries
  • 1/4 cup dried cherries
  • 1 cup spelt or unbleached white flour
  • 1 1/2 cups brown sugar, divided
  • 2 generous tablespoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup agave syrup
  • icing sugar for coating (about 1 cup)
Instructions:
  • Line 3 8-inch baking pans with parchment paper.

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. On a baking sheet, scatter the pecans, walnuts and almonds and toast them for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they darken a few shades. Transfer to a large bowl and let cool.

  • When the nuts are cool, stir in the dried fruits, flour, half of the brown sugar (3/4 cup), and cinnamon.

  • Now make the syrup. Combine the agave with the remaining 3/4 cup of brown sugar in a medium saucepan and stir well to combine. Attach a candy thermometer to the side of the pan and simmer over medium-high heat without stirring until the thermometer reads 230° (110°C) — this should take about 5 minutes.

  • Pour the syrup into the nut and fruit mixture and, using some arm power, stir until everything is well combined.

  • Divide the mixture between the three prepared baking pans and pack down with a spoon. Bake in a preheated 325° oven for 25 to 30 minutes. Let cool before removing. Gently peel off the parchment paper and then dust your hands with icing sugar and use to coat the slabs.

  • Using a sharp knife, cut the slabs into small pieces. Cover and store at room temperature for up to 3 months or store in the fridge for up to a year.

Makes about 45 to 60 pieces

Chocolate Quinoa Ricotta Bread

For years found only in natural food specialty stores, quinoa can now be found in every supermarket thanks to its growing reputation as one of nature's healthiest foods. It's a popularity that's well deserved. With a nearly perfect amino acid balance, its protein profile is the highest and most complete of all grains, making quinoa an important food for vegetarians. It's also gluten-free and a good source of fibre, iron, calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, antioxidants and vitamins B and E.

But it's the light, fluffy and slightly crunchy texture and delicately sweet and nutty taste of cooked quinoa that's helped make it a staple in so many households these days. Delicious on its own, quinoa also pairs easily with any number of vegetables, fruits, nuts and seasonings, making it a versatile ingredient to have on hand for all kinds of simple side dishes and breakfast porridges. Quick cooking, substitute quinoa for rice in any recipe. It's also ground into a flour that can be used as a gluten-free substitute for wheat flour in cookies, muffins and loaves. Turns out that quinoa flour is perfect for baking with and great as a gluten-free alternative. And if you do still visit the natural food stores you can find quinoa pasta as well as the more exotic and earthier-flavored red and black varieties of quinoa.

Baked Eggplant Stuffed with Curried Vegetables

To contact us Click HERE
This space will likely be rather quiet until the new year as I spend time with my family and recover from a particularly stubborn and nasty chest cold.

In the meantime, I want to share my latest experiment with eggplant. This spicy, stuffed and baked dish makes for a most satisfying vegetarian meal, especially when served with a steaming hot bed of rice. It is rather easy to prepare and yet another excuse to warm the kitchen and your body too because it has some extra kick to really highlight the eggplant and vegetables that make up stuffing.

stuffed eggplant
You likely will have more filling than you need, depending on the size of your eggplants. If you do, serve it along side the stuffed eggplant or save it for the next day and serve over a grain of your choice.

Ingredients:
  • 2 small eggplants (1 pound or 450 g)
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
  • 1 teaspoon black mustard seeds
  • 2 teaspoons toor dal, rinsed (optional)
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1-inch piece fresh ginger, minced or grated
  • 2 or 3 fresh green chilies, seeded and finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon ground coriander
  • 1 teaspoon turmeric
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon garam masala
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne
  • pinch of asafetida (optional)
  • 2 cups button mushrooms, chopped
  • 2 medium tomatoes, seeded and finely chopped
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen peas
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt, or to taste
Instructions:
  • Wash the eggplants, cut of the stems, and slice them in half lengthwise. Scoop out the pulp out into a small bowl, leaving about 1/4-inch of the flesh around the skin, taking care not to puncture the skin. Roughly mash the pulp and set aside.

  • Preheat the oven to 400° and grease a broiling pan or baking sheet. Lightly salt the eggplant skins and place them face down on the prepared pan. Bake for about 10 to 15 minutes on the middle rack of the oven until just tender. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool.

  • To prepare the filling, heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. When hot, toss in the cumin seeds, mustard seeds and toor dal if using. Stir for 30 seconds or until the mustard seeds turn grey and begin to splutter and pop. Add the onion to the pan and stir for 3 to 4 minutes or until the onion begins to soften and brown around the edges. Now add the garlic, ginger and chilies, stir for another minute, then add the spices and asafetida if using and continue to stir for another minute or until the spices are fragrant.

  • Turn the heat up slightly and add the mushrooms. Stir for 2 to 3 minutes and then add the tomatoes and simmer for another 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in the eggplant pulp, fresh peas if using, and simmer for another 5 minutes. The eggplant should be just tender. If you are using frozen peas, add them now and simmer for another few minutes. Stir in sea salt to taste and remove from the heat.

  • Preheat the oven to 350° and grease a baking dish with oil. Fill each of the eggplant skins with a generous amount of the filling and transfer to the prepared pan. Bake for 30 minutes or until the tops begin to brown and the skins have blackened a little. Remove from the oven and Sserve hot with a grain side and a leafy green salad.

Brown Rice and Quinoa Cakes with Parmesan

To contact us Click HERE
From time to time, I like to share my spontaneous late night cooking experiments here, especially when they are particularly successful and pleasing to the palate. This is a rather unorthodox recipe I suppose because I fused together leftover grains, mixed in a blend of spices and herbs, incorporated some chickpea flour into the mix and then added some Parmesan cheese. Certainly a unique combination of flavors and textures that comes together in a surprising way that turned out to be a palate pleaser. The layering of spice is nicely tempered by the grain and cheese, and the herbs are understated but make their presence known in a low lying sort of way to complete the experience.

rice quinoa savory cakes
Crispy, slightly dense due to the addition of besan flour, but still moist inside, I'll be making these again and again because the possibilities are endless and I always find leftover grains a welcome challenge to dress up and make into a second meal, appetizer, side or snack. I think goat cheese is coming in the near future. Other options to be considered are various combinations of grains, spices and herbs, fresh chilies, onion, sun-dried tomatoes, quinoa flour, spelt flour and anything else that strikes your fancy when the craving hits. Don't be afraid to experiment and don't wait until you have leftovers — cook up some grains and come up with your favorite savory grain cakes.

Print this recipePrint this recipe

Ingredients:
  • 1 cup leftover cooked brown rice (1/3 cup uncooked)
  • 1 cup leftover cooked quinoa (1/3 cup uncooked)
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 teaspoon turmeric
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne
  • 1/4 teaspoon chili powder
  • pinch of mustard powder (optional)
  • pinch of asafetida (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley
  • 3/4 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • fresh cracked black pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup chickpea (besan) flour
  • 1/2 to 2/3 cup fresh grated Parmesan cheese
  • oil for frying
Instructions:
  • Combine the rice and quinoa in a large bowl. In a small bowl, beat the egg until frothy and then beat in the ground spices, herbs, salt and black pepper. Transfer to the bowl with the rice and quinoa and stir well to combine.

  • Now add the chickpea flour and stir until the mixture comes together. Add more flour as needed to make a uniform mixture that is moist but dry enough to shape into small patties.

  • Flour your hands and shape the mixture into roughly 2-inch round patties.

  • Heat a 1/4 inch of oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. When hot, add the shaped patties and fry for about 5 minutes or until the bottoms begin to turn golden brown. Flip and fry for another few minutes to brown on both sides. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain and serve hot with your favorite chutney or dipping sauce.

Makes about ten 2-inch patties

Guinness Gingerbread Cake

To contact us Click HERE
guinness gingerbread
Not that I really needed more sweets and desserts after Christmas, but I was rather restrained over the holidays and wanted to challenge myself by coming up with a gingerbread cake as a treat for my sweetie and best friend Basil. I am more of a cook than a baker, so I was a little apprehensive about drafting my own recipe. Well, the result was heavenly and my gingerbread aficionados declared this to be one of the best renditions of gingerbread they have ever enjoyed.

Deliciously moist, unlike many gingerbread recipes, and not overly sweet, even this savory girl was coming back for seconds. This is my first time using Guinness for baking and surely it won't be the last. The stout adds a nice depth of flavor that compliments the fresh ginger. You may of course use ground ginger, but for the complete gingerbread experience, I highly recommend going fresh.

Elf on a shelf… with manners.

To contact us Click HERE

Wedo elf on a shelf. We started this tradition last year and have continued itthis year. His name is Charlie and although he is an elf on a shelf, he is awell mannered family friend who does NOT make messes for mom to clean up.
Elf on a Shelf
Elf on a ShelfElf on a Shelf
Iknow a lot of other people have mischievous elves in their homes. I have heardstories and seen pictures of elves making HUGE messes. Let me just say that ifour family elf made a mess, he would clean it up or he would get the boot. Thismom has a hard enough time keeping a tidy home with two toddlers running around;I do not do messy elves. #AreYouCrazy! What a rude little elf – making messesand pulling pranks I would not want my children to imitate. There must be aSouth Pole elf that visits other peoples homes.
Ourelf Charlie does not make messes and he does not pull crazy pranks. Instead, heplays a game of hide-and-go-seek each day with my children. Every night he goesto see Santa at the North Pole and report on my children’s behavior, both goodand bad. Then he comes back and finds a fun hiding spot each morning. When thekids wake up they are extremely excited about finding Charlie.
WhileCharlie finds fun and interesting places to hide, he does not partake in SouthPole behavior. He does not play in the cupboards and he does not draw onphotographs. He stays away from the maple syrup – although I think this isdifficult for him. He is a very well mannered North Pole elf who helps remindmy children that Christmas is just around the corner and they ought to be goodlittle boys. He is a well mannered elf and I would very much like to keep it that way.
