Salt & Pepper Oatmeal Biscuit





























Inspired by a biscuit I got the other day I threw together a little oatmeal, some olive oil, sea salt, pepper and water. The result was these delicious biscuits. If you fancy something good tonight, try this recipe, and please add a little oregano, thyme and garlic if you have some.



 

 




































Recipe:

8 dl rolled oats
2 dl extra virgin olive oil
3 dl water
4 tablespoons flaxseed
2-3 teaspoons sea salt
2-3 teaspoons coarsely ground black pepper
Sesame seeds to sprinkle on top

Preheat the oven to 160 degrees. Mix all the ingredients except sesame seeds in a bowl. Allow to swell some minutes, and then mix to a dough with a hand blender. Spread the mixture over a baking tray covered with baking paper. Use baking paper to spread the dough out, it works better than a spatula since the mix is a bit porous.
Sprinkle some sesame seeds over. For round biscuits use a glass to cut rings in the batter. For squares use a pizza cutter to divide into squares before putting the tray into the oven. Let bake for 30 minutes, then turn off the oven and slide the biscuits onto a wire rack, and let stand in the oven until they are cooled.

Oppskrift:

8 dl havregryn
2 dl ekstra virgin olivenolje
3 dl vann
4 ss linfrø
2-3 ts havsalt
2-3 ts grovmalt sort pepper
Sesamfrø til å strø på toppen

Sett ovnen på 160 grader. Miks alle ingrediensene utenom sesamfrø i en bolle. La blandingen trekke noen minutter, og miks deretter til en deig med en stavmikser. Bre blandingen utover en stekeplate dekket med bakepapir. Bruk et bakepapir til å smøre deigen utover, det fungerer bedre enn med en slikkepott siden miksen er litt porøs. Deretter strø sesamfrø over. Hvis du vil ha runde kjeks bruk et glass til å kutte ringer i deigen. For firkanter bruk en pizzakutter til å dele inn i ruter før du setter brettet inn i ovnen. La steke i 30 minutter. Slå deretter av ovnen og skyv kjeksene over på en rist, og la stå i ovnen til de er kjølnet.

Lively Winter Salad































Eat by color, and get your antioxidants and vitamins. In this salad, I used my favorite legume - mung beans. Mung beans has a very high content of the essential vitamin folate. Most women of childbearing age have knowledge of this vitamin sincee it is recommended to take a supplement to prevent neural tube defect in children during pregnancy. A serving of 200 g boiled mung beans provides 80% of the recommended daily intake folic acid for women of childbearing age, and a full pot for all others. In a large serving of this salad with 100 g of kale, you get more than the recommended daily intake of vitamin C (200%) and vitamin A (308%)

For a person calculate 100 g uncooked mung beans, or as I have done here, 100 g sprouted beans. Use desired amount of kale and leek, depending on how hungry you are. A good dose of extra virgin olive oil and sea salt to taste. And at last sweeten it up with a fresh fig. Yummi!






























With boiled mung beans:

Boil the mung beans for about 30 - 40 minutes. Tear the kale into small pieces and pour over a good amount of olive oil that you massage into the leaves. Sprinkle over some sea salt and massage into the leaves. When the beans are cooked mix them in with the salad, and cut up a good amount of leek that you mix in. Sprinkle a little cayenne pepper or sliced ​​chili over and serve with a fresh fig.

Sprouted mung beans:

Let the beans soak in water overnight (use a good amount of water over the beans as they swell about 3 times the size). In the morning pour out the water they've soaked in, and rinse well. Then add the beans into a jar and cover with a cotton towel. Rinse the beans a few times a day, and after 1-2 days they are ready to eat. Wonderful! Otherwise, follow the same recipe for the salad.




Med kokte mungbønner:

Kok mungbønnene i ca 30- 40 minutter. Riv opp grønnkål i små biter og hell over en god del olivenolje som du masserer inn i bladene. Strø deretter over havsalt som du også masserer inn. Når bønnene er kokt blander du de med salaten, skjær opp ønsket mengde purreløk og strø over. Smak til med litt cayenne pepper eller oppkuttet chilli, og server med en fersk fiken.

Spirede mungbønner:

Legg bønnene i bløt over natta (hell vann godt over bønnene da de sveller i ca 3 ganger størrelse). På morningen hell av vannet de har ligget i, og skyll godt. Legg deretter bønnene over i et glass og dekk over med et bommulls håndkle. Skyll bønnene et par ganger om dagen og etter et par dager er de klare til å spise. Følg samme oppskrift for salaten som over.

Christmas in a cup






































In the cups we had some warm freshly squeezed apple juice with ginger and the traditional festive spices like cloves, cinnamon and nutmeg. It is impossible to get a good picture of it in this lighting so it will have to do with one of the atmosphere of advent. I used 6 apples, a large chunk of ginger, some cloves and 1 tablespoon of cinnamon and nutmeg. Add some white wine to make a version of mulled wine. 


Thank you for visiting!

Homemade Crisp bread & Apricot jam


































Today I took out one of my finest cooking books written by a former teacher I had, Camilla Jensen. She is one of those who know all about food, not just nutrition, and really knows how to make a magic jam it turnes out. The book is called "Breakfast" and is full of inspiring recipes and beautiful photos.

Morning blogg meeting with the book Frokost (Breakfast) by Camilla Jensen





























I fell for two simple recipes - crisp bread and apricot jam. I like to have some crisp bread ready and available, and the jam I thought would make a nice spread.




























This apricot jam blew me away. I am not a jam person, but in this case I am.. It is really easy to make, and is free from sugar and preservatives. It will keep for approximately 1 week in the fridge.




























Recipe Apricot jam:

300 g organic dried apricots
1 teaspoon bourbon vanilla
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon or as in the original recipe lemon zest from 1 organic lemon
Water

1 small handful of hazel nuts (or pistachio nuts in the original recipe), can be omitted

Put the apricots in a saucepan and pour water over to cover the apricots. Bring to a boil and let simmer for 10-15 minutes until the apricots are soft and have swelled. Then poor out  2 / 3 of the boiling water, and leave the remaining 1/3 to mix in with the remaining ingredients (except nuts that are mixed in at the end). Mix with a hand blender to a smooth jam. Stir in the nuts at the end. I left them out in half the jam to taste both.



Oppskrift Aprikos syltetøy:

300 g økologiske tørkede aprikoser
1 ts bourbon vanilje
1 ss ferskpresset sitron eller som i orginaloppskriften sitron zest fra 1 økologisk sitron
Vann
1 liten håndfull hasselnøtter (eller pistasjenøtter som i orginaloppskriften)

Putt aprikosene i en kjele og hell vann over slik at det dekker aprikosene. Kok opp, og la småkoke i 10-15 minutter til aprikosene er myke og har svellet. Hell deretter av 2/3 av vannet, bland i resten av vannet sammen med de andre ingrediensene (utenom nøttene som blandes inn til slutt) og miks sammen med en stavmikser. Rør til slutt inn nøttene. Jeg utelot de i halvparten for å smake begge versjoner.



The crisp bread is also very easy to make. Free from gluten and eggs,  it´s great for all those who have an intolerance, or for those who don´t want to eat eggs. This is a basic recipe that can be varied with fresh or dried herbs, sundried tomatoes, or more sweet spices like cinnamon and cardamom.




























Recipe Crisp Bread:

2 dl small oatmeal
2 dl buckwheat flakes
1 1 / 2 dl pumpkin seeds
1 dl crushed flaxseed
1 / 2 dl sesame seeds with shell
1 teaspoon sea salt
3 1 / 2 dl cold water

Preheat the oven to 160 degrees. Mix all the dry ingredients together in a bowl, cover with the water and stir well. Let the mixture stand to swell for a few minutes. Spread the mass over a baking tray covered with baking paper using a spatula. Cut up in pieces with a knife or pizza cutter before putting the tray in the oven. Let cook for about 60 minutes, turn off the oven and then put onto a rack with the baking paper underneath. Let them stand in oven with the door open until they are cooled.


Oppskrift Knekkebrød:

2 dl små havregryn
2 dl bokhvete flak
1 1/2 dl gresskarkjerner
1 dl knuste linfrø
1/2 dl sesamfrø med skall
1 ts havsalt
3 1/2 dl kaldt vann

Sett ovnen på 160 grader. Bland alle de tørre ingrediensene sammen i en bolle, hell over vann og rør godt. La massen stå å svelle i noen minutter. Bre deretter massen utover et stekebrett med bakepapir ved hjelp av en slikkepott. Del opp med en kniv eller pizzaskjærer før du setter brettet i ovnen. La steke i ca 60 minutter, slå av ovnen og legg deretter knekkebrødene over på en rist med bakepapiret under. La de stå i ovnen med døra på gløtt til de er kjølnet. 


Wrap up and bring for a friend...

Spread your bread, and get your omega 3






























A tasty spread that´s really easy to make, and that will provide you with the daily recommended shot of omega 3 fatty acids. 100 g of walnuts that´s used in this recipe, contains as much as 2776 mg omgea 3 fatty acids (compared to salmon, that has about 2506 mg / 100 g). The recommended daily dose is obtained by dividing this portion of spread by half. The same amount will also give you about 100 mg of vitamin C. Spread on, and top up with some alfalfa, fresh thyme and ruccola. 

If you for some reason don´t tolerate nuts, you can replace the walnuts with boiled chickpeas. It will be something else entirely, both in taste and nutrition wise, but will make a tasty spread for your bread.































Recipe

1 red bell pepper 
100 g walnuts 
1 dl extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice 

Season with sea salt

Mix all ingredients until smooth butter consistency in a blender.
  Add a little chilli or cayenne pepper for a slightly stronger taste. If you think walnuts are a little bitter, you can replace half the walnuts with cashew nuts.

Oppskrift:

1 rød paprika
100 g valnøtter
1 dl extra virgin oliven olje eller rapsolje
1 ss ferskpresset sitronsaft
Smak til med havsalt

Miks alle ingredienser til en jevn smørkonsistens i en blender. Tilsett litt chilli eller cayennepepper for en sterkere smak. Hvis du syns valnøtter blir litt bittert kan du bytte ut halvparten av valnøttene med cashew nøtter.

November Sun


























No cooking this weekend .. One glass of pesto too late, I read on The Public Health's pages of 36 cases of food poisoning from eating pesto in the last couple of months. So my glass of pesto made me spend the weekend in bed watching the beatiful sun outside.  






A squirrel rush past..

Raw Lasagna for plenty
































I have a very generous employer at Gimle Organic Perfumery who is as fond of cooking as I am. Therefore, she has made ​​sure that all employees have a copy of the book "Glød og Glæde med Raw Food" by Vibeke Amdisen.

Friend and colleague Marie, has been a few steps ahead of me to try out the recipes from the book, and invited me for dinner making her favorite recipe - Live Lasagna. It proved to be just as good and delicious as I had been told. The dish is incredibly filling because it mostly consists of different types of nut fillings in between the zucchini layers. This recipe would be enough for 6 people, or will make a good lunch the next day. 


There are quite a few ingredients needed so I recommend you to do the shopping in a well assorted vegetable store that also sells raw nuts. The very making of the lasagna is fun, and since it will not be cooked, it's ready when you are ready.

Savoy-Tangerine Salad




























Light up the winter darkness and boost the immune system with this bright green salad. Savoy cabbage and tangerines provide a good supply of both vitamin c and vitamin a, and are important during the winter. The combination of savoy cabbage and tangerine gives a round taste with just a little tuch of a sour flair.

This is a clear favorite to be combined with various main dishes or by itself to be a full meal by adding chickpeas, lentils, feta cheese or other protein sources. And it is made really quick.

Recipe:

1 savoy cabbage
1/2 lemon
1 / 2 leek
2-3 tangerines

1 handful of walnuts
About 1 / 2 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon sea salt
 

Tear or cut the cabbage into small pieces. Pour the olive oil over, and massage into the leaves to soften them a bit. Then gently massage in the sea salt. Peel off the skin around the tangarine boats before adding them to the salad, fine cut leeks and walnuts before adding. Last press the lemon over and serve with some bread or crackers

Oppskrift:

1 savoy kål
1 sitron
1/2 purreløk
2-3 mandariner

1 neve valnøtter
Ca 1/2 dl extra virgin olivenolje
1 ts havsalt 



Riv eller skjær kålen i små biter. Hell olivenoljen over, og masser den inn i bladene for å mykgjøre de litt. Masser deretter inn havsaltet. Skrell skinnet av rundt mandarin båtene før de tilsettes salaten. Finkutt purreløken og valnøttene før de blandes inn. Til slutt press sitronen over og server med brød eller knekkebrød.

Raspberry-Mousse experiment




































The basis for this experiment was some breakfast cakes I made a few days ago from "Ani´s Raw Food Kitchen". They were very good, but a little too sweet for my breakfast taste. I thought however that they would make a perfect cake bottom. So after I applied the batter into a baking tin and put it in the freezer, the plan was to make some kind of cake, some day. And today I had a good reason for it to be made as my friend would stay for dinner.

The filling on the cake was planned in the shop today in close collaboration with my friend and colleague. We envisaged that the filling would solidify so that we could easily cut out a piece of cake, but the result was eventually closer to a rasberry mousse, with the bottom cut up to some sort of biscuits. But who cares about the shape as long as the taste is good ? Not us, at least not today.. Most importantly, the mousse turned out to be very good, and so did the biscuits along with it!





























Recipe Breakfast Cakes turned into biscuits:

5 dl crushed flaxseed
2 tablespoons extra-virgin coconut oil
1 dl agave
1 / 2 teaspoon sea salt
0.5 dl water

Mix all the ingredients together with a hand blender into a smooth paste (might need a tiny bit more water),
and pat it in a desired baking tin (a relatively small one). Put in the freezer and take it out for a desired opportunity. 

Recipe Rasberry-Mousse:

150 g soaked cashew nuts
350 g fresh raspberries (frozen are also fine)
1 tablespoon of agar agar (dissolved in 1 cup water)
1 tablespoon of lecithin
1 fresh lime

1-2 dl water 

Soak the cashew nuts for 1 hour or preferably 2 (while you make and eat dinner for example). When done soaking, pour the water off the nuts. Carefully boil up 1 dl of water mixed with the agar agar until the agar has dissolved. Mix all the ingredients in a food processor, adding 1 dl of water in addition to the agar agar. Let mousse solidify for 10 minutes. Serve alone or with the cake-biscuits.

Oppskrift Frokost kaker omgjort til kakebunn

5 dl knuste linfrø
2 ss ekstra virgin kokos olje
1 dl agave
1/2 ts havsalt
0,5 dl vann

Bland alle ingrediensene til en jevn masse med en stavmikser. Legg massen i en ønsket kakeform og glatt ut i bunn (i en forholdsvis liten form). Sett i fryseren og ta frem til en ønsket anledning. Kutt i strimler eller andre former du liker.

Oppskrift Bringebær-Mousse:


150 g bløtlagte cashew nøtter
350 g ferske bringebær (frosne går sikkert også fint)
1 ss agar agar (løst opp i 1 dl vann)
1 ss lecitin
1 ferskpresset lime 

1-2 dl vann


Bløtlegg cashwnøttene i 1 time eller gjerne 2 (mens du lager og spiser middag f.eks). Deretter hell vannet av nøttene. Kok forsiktig opp 1 dl vann sammen med agar agar til agaren har løst seg opp. Miks så alle ingrediensene i en kjøkken maskin med ytterligere 1 dl vann. La moussen stivne i 10 minutter. Server alene eller sammen med kake-kjeksene.

Lukewarm Tomato-Chickpeas Soup for lunch break



























Todays lunch was a satisfying quick fix. Make the soup on spot using a hand blender and water boiler. You get your 5 a day in 1 go, and complete high-quality protein in this soup. I made a portion that is enough for 2 persons. As always you don´t have to use all the ingredients, and here you can leave out some of the vegetables if you want. This is todays recipe, but it can be varied with different herbs and vegetables for a later occasion..

Recipe (2 pers):

20 cherry tomatoes
1 red bell pepper
1 small yellow onion
1 fennel
3 stalks celery (can be omitted)
1 dl extra virgin olive oil
300 g cooked chickpeas (today I had to resort to pre-cooked. I used organic that tastes best)
Herbal Salt / or sea salt to taste

Cut the tomatoes in half and roughly cut up the bell pepper. Put it in a bowl or pan and pour boiling water over (about double the amount of water as the tomatoes and peppers fills from the bottom). Put on a lid or place a plate over so that it gets steamed when you cut the onions, celery and fennel in large chunks. Mix the rest of the vegetables and olive oil up in the pan with the tomatoes and peppers, and blend well with the hand blender. Please add more water if you want to. Drain and rinse the chickpeas lightly before you mix them in with the soup. Herbal sea salt tastes really good in this soup, but so do regular sea salt - add to taste. I chopped up some chives on top, and served with simple rice crakkers.
If you prefer serve with a good slice of bread!


Oppskrift (2 pers):

20 cherry tomater
1 rød paprika
1 liten gul løk
1 fenikkel
3 stilker stangselleri (kan utelates)
1 dl ekstra virgin oliven olje
300 g kokte kikerter (i dag måtte jeg ty til ferdig kokte. Jeg brukte økologiske som smaker best)
Smak til med urtesalt / eller havsalt

Del tomatene i to og skjær opp paprikaen. Legg det i en bolle eller kjele og hell kokende vann over (ca dobbel mengde vann som tomatene og paprikaen fyller i bunn). Sett på et lokk eller legg en tallerken over slik at det får dampet mens du kutter løk, stangselleri og fenikkel i store biter. Bland resten av grønnsakene og olivenoljen oppi kjelen med tomatene og paprikaen, og blend godt med stavmikseren. Bland i mer vann hvis det trengs.  Hell av vannet og skyll kikertene lett før du blander de i suppen. Smak til med urte- eller havsalt. Jeg hakket opp litt purreløk på toppen, og serverte med noen enkle riskjeks. Bruk gjerne et godt brød eller knekkebrød hvis du foretrekker det.

Plants exchange their genetic codes with us



























You truly are what you eat. The food we eat does not only give us nutrients such as vitamines and minerals but also information. Scientists have discovered what many of the traditional medicine system in the world have relied upon for thousands of years.


Studies have detected plant RNAs in the human body. Plant genes that comes with the food we eat are broken down in the digestive tract and absorbed in the tissues of our body.
The plant’ genes are found to reprogram some of our genes, change their function, and by that regulate the physiology of those who consumed them...Which might explain some of the healing properties of plants.

Tomorrow I will make a simple soup in my lunch break full of plants, possibly with som important messages to my DNA. You will get the recipe tomorrow!
