Stuffed Tomatoes


Stuffed Tomatoes

carrot and lemon and parsely (leave out the parsely next time i think). Carrot and lemon is NOICE! I only nuke it, or leave it raw. It's got more nutrients that way and i love the crunch!

the tomatoes were SO RICH, i couldn't finish it, cooking really really heightens their tart taste! WOWZA!

it's like onion, garlic, rice and beef, with 2 TB tomato paste and some sugar and salt and tomato pulp.
Cook first and pop in an oven just to tenderize the tomaoes a bit.

Savoury Crumpets

This recipe is by no means perfect, but daimn, did i make a good crumpet this morning!

Makes 2 Large Crumpets the size of toast or 4 small ones.

Firstly:

In a small cup, or shot glass, add:

1 t chives
1 t parsely
1 t Basil
1 t oregano

to about 3 TB water. Mix well. This will hydrate them, then in a bowl add:

1 TB linseed ground
1 TB chickpea flour
3 TB Sorghum flour
1 TB Glutinous Rice Flour
1 TB Corn Starch
1t Baking Powder (GF of course)
1/2 a carrot finely grated

Stir through with a fork.

Then add liquids!

1 TB Honey
1 egg
50 mL give or take of rice bran oil

and enough milk to get a pour-able yet still pretty thick batter. Mix well. Don't forget to add in the herbs too!

Set your stove to the lowest heat possible.
Buy crumpet rings, or simply use a mini non stick pan (i bought a mini square one the size of toast, which makes one serve in the morning easy and quick).
Sprinkle poppy seeds in the pan with a drizzle of oil.
Quickly add batter. It's fairly thick at this point so you may need to help it sit in the pan well.
Wait until the top is no longer wet looking, then carefully flip it by whatever means is comfortable for you. Using a spatula, a fork, etc and just lightly golden brown the tops.


Then put on a cooling rack to cool! Or chuck some butter on it and eat it hot! Melty goodness!
