Description

GOOD TO HAVE ON HAND

  • oven
  • baking pan dish (20x20cm / 8×8″)
  • 2 medium-sized bowls
  • whisk
  • small pot
  • small metal (or glass) bowl
  • sharp knife

 


Ingredients

Units Scale
BATTER
  • 230 grams rice flour
  • 100 grams white sugar
  • 1/4 tsp backing powder
  • 1 tsp matcha powder
  • 120 milliliters oat milk (or any other milk you prefer)
  • 90 milliliters coconut milk
  • 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp butter, for greasing
TOPPING
  • 100 grams white chocolate
  • 1 tsp coconut oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 135°C / 275°F.
  2. Grease your baking pan with a teaspoon of butter and set it aside.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together all the dry ingredients: rice flour, sugar, matcha powder, and baking powder.
  4. In another medium bowl, combine the wet ingredients: oat milk, coconut milk, and vanilla extract. Whisk these together well.
  5. Slowly add the wet ingredients to the dry, mixing until you have a smooth, creamy batter.
  6. Pour the batter into the greased pan, smoothing it out to an even layer, and bake for about 70 minutes.
  7. Once done, take the brownie out of the oven and let it cool completely. As it cools, it will sink slightly and the surface will dry out, but it will become deliciously gooey.
  8. For the topping, fill a small pot with water and bring it to a simmer, then take it off the heat. Break the white chocolate into small pieces and place them in a small metal bowl. Set this bowl over the simmering water pot to melt the chocolate, stirring until smooth. Add a teaspoon of coconut oil, mix well, then pour the melted chocolate over the cooled brownie. Let this cool down again.
  9. I got a bit impatient and cut into the brownies too soon while the chocolate was still soft – it was a bit messy, but I wasn’t mad about it! Once everything is fully set, cut the brownie into 9 even squares and enjoy.

Lavender Oil


  • Author: Kimberly
  • Total Time: 55 min
  • Yield: 250 ml / 1 cup

Description

RECOMMENDED EQUIPMENT

  • blender
  • medium-sized saucepan
  • whisk
  • a bowl which the medium saucepan fits into
  • 2 medium-sized bowls
  • 2 fine sieves
  • sealable container (oil bottle)
  • ice cubes
  • coffee filter

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 9 lavender blossoms
  • 250 milliliters unrefined cold-pressed sunflower oil

Instructions

  1. Cut the lavender blossoms of the stems and put the blossoms into the blender. Pour in the oil. Blend on the highest setting until there are only tiny pieces of the lavender left.
  2. Pour the mixture from the blender into a medium-sized pot and heat it over medium heat to a temperature of about 100°-101°C (212°-213°F), and maintain this temperature for the next 10 minutes. Stir occasionally, making sure the temperature remains steady and nothing gets burned.
  3. Prepare a bowl large enough to fit a medium-sized pot, and fill it with cold water and a handful of ice cubes. Also, hang a fine sieve strainer over one medium-sized bowl and another fine sieve strainer, with a coffee filter inside it, over another medium-sized bowl.
  4. Now, place the pot in the ice water and stir to cool the oil quickly. Once the oil is almost cold, remove the pot from the water and pour the oil into the prepared fine sieve to catch the coarse particles.
  5. Then, pour the oil into the second sieve, which is equipped with a coffee filter, to catch the remaining finer particles.
  6. Allow the oil to drip through for about 40 minutes or maybe less depending on how many remaining particles are in the coffee filter. Once all the oil has passed through the coffee filter, transfer the collected amount of oil into a sealable container or directly into an oil bottle. Store in the refrigerator for up to one week.

Notes

Use the oil to enrich these homemade scones. Simply make a frosting from 125g (1 cup) powdered sugar, 2-3 tablespoons of lemon juice and 1 teaspoon of the lavender oil and coat your scones with it. Enjoy these pieces of happiness 🙂

Experience a crunch like no other with this unique dish that combines crispy fried rice paper with a lush mango avocado cashew salad. It’s a textural delight that’s bursting with freshness and flavor.

Serve this crispy delight as a stunning appetizer or a light, refreshing meal. The crackle of the rice paper perfectly complements the soft, rich textures of avocado and mango, with cashews adding a satisfying crunch. It’s a dish best enjoyed immediately to secure the crispy rice paper and the cool, fresh salad. Alternatively for making it ahead, you can serve the salad and the deep-fried rice paper individually.

The crispy rice paper should be enjoyed right after frying to maintain its texture. However, the mango avocado cashew salad can be refrigerated in an airtight container and is best eaten within a day to keep the flavors vibrant and fresh.

Crispy Rice Paper with Mango Avocado Cashew Salad


  • Author: Kimberly
  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: about 16 small cups

Description

GOOD TO HAVE ON HAND
  • sharp knife
  • cutting board
  • small frying pan or pot
  • scissors
  • paper towels
  • salad bowl
  • small bowl

 


Ingredients

Units Scale
CUPS
  • 4 small rice paper
  • 200 milliliters deep-frying fat
DRESSING
  • 1 tbsp avocado oil
  • 2 tbsp lime juice
  • 1 garlic clove, grated
  • 1/4 tsp ginger, grated
  • 1/2 tsp sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
SALAD
  • 300 grams red cabbage
  • 1 ripe mango
  • 1 ripe avocado
  • 40 grams cashew nuts
TOPPINGS
  • cress or sprouts
  • white sesame
  • spring onion

Instructions

  1. Heat about 1 cm of frying oil to 180°C / 356°F in a small frying pan. Carefully cut the rice paper into quarters using scissors, and fry each quarter in the hot oil for 5 seconds until it puffs up and turns fluffy white. Remove from the pan and let it drain on paper towels. Note: The paper is only pliable for a short time after being removed from the oil.
  2. For the salad, finely shred the red cabbage and place it in a salad bowl. Peel the mango and avocado and cut the flesh into bite-sized pieces, adding them to the salad bowl as well. Finally, add the cashews.
  3. For the dressing, mix avocado oil, lime juice, grated garlic and ginger, sesame oil, and soy sauce in a small bowl and pour it over the salad. Mix everything well.
  4. Slice the green part of the spring onion into fine strips and set aside.
  5. If serving immediately, lay out the fried rice papers, fill each with 1-2 tablespoons of salad, and top each with white sesame seeds, cress, and the sliced spring onions. If not serving immediately, I recommend preparing both components separately.
