No Bake Vegan Jaffa Squares / Veganske jaffa kocke – bez pečenja

Crunch Crunch Away, , , , , 9 Comments

I feel like we’ve stepped far enough from the winter festivities that it’s morally acceptable to post a desert recipe. This is a very easy, very lazy and reasonably healthy desert option, so I see no reason as to why you shouldn’t make it.

IMGP6939

INGREDIENTS:

(Yields 20 squares / 0.13 EUR per square / 2.66 EUR for all)

For the cake base:

1 cup ground toasted hazelnuts (1.00 EUR)

2 tbsp coconut oil, melted (0.27 EUR)

1 tbsp honey (0.13 EUR)

1 tsp pure vanilla extract (0.03 EUR)

For the orange filling:

1 large orange (0.40 EUR)

2 tbsp honey (0.27 EUR)

1 tbsp corn starch (0.03 EUR)

1-2 tbsp water (–)

For ganache:

2 tbsp raw cocoa powder (0.13 EUR)

2 tbsp coconut oil, melted (0.27 EUR)

1 tbsp honey (0.13 EUR)

IMGP6940

IMGP6944

IMGP6958

METHOD:

Line a square baking dish with parchment paper and set aside. Mix together all cake base ingredients and transfer to prepared baking dish. Evenly distribute the mixture and using your hands press it into the bottom. Place in freezer and leave to sit there for about 15-20 minutes.

Meanwhile while the cake base is resting, prepare the filling. Add peeled orange and honey to a food processor and pulse until uniform. Transfer to a small saucepan and cook for about 5-10 minutes to slightly thicken. Dissolve corn starch in a bit of water in a cup or a small bowl, then gradually stir into the orange. Cook for a few more minutes, while stirring constantly, to thicken even more. Pour the orange filling on top of the chilled base and cool completely before putting in the freezer for at least 30 minutes.

Make ganache by mixing together cocoa powder, melted coconut oil and honey. Pour over the orange filling and quickly even out. You need to be super quick about this, because the coconut butter will solidify fast once being exposed to the cold. Return the cake to the freezer for a few more hours before cutting into squares. Serve cold or frozen.

Mislim da je prošlo dovoljno vremena od zimskih blagdana tako da je skroz moralno prihvatljivo objaviti recept za slasticu. Ovo je jako lagani, jako lijeni i poprilično zdravi desert, tako da ne vidim razloga zašto ga ne bi ste trebali napraviti.

SASTOJCI:

(Za 20 jaffa kocki / 0,99 kn po kocki / 19,95 kn za sve)

Za biskvit:

1 šalica tostiranih mljevenih lješnjaka (7,50 kn)

2 žlice kokosovog ulja, rastopljenog (2,00 kn)

1 žlica meda (1,00 kn)

1 žličica ekstrakta od vanilije (0,20 kn)

Za kremu od naranče:

1 velika naranča (3,00 kn)

2 žlice meda (2,00 kn)

1 žlica kukuruznog škroba (0,25 kn)

1-2 žlice vode (–)

Za čokoladnu glazuru:

2 žlice sirovog kakao praha (1,00 kn)

2 žlice kokosovog ulja, rastopljenog (2,00 kn)

1 žlica meda (1,00 kn)

PRIPREMA:

Obložite četvrtasti protvan papirom za pečenje i stavite na stranu. Pomiješajte sve sastojke za biskvit, pa smjesu prstima ravnomjerno utisnite u pripremljeni protvan. Stavite u zamrzivač na 15-20 minuta.

Dok se biskvit hladi, pripremite kremu. Oguljenu naranču i med ubacite u multipraktik i propulsirajte u jednoličnu masu. Preselite u mali lončić i kuhajte 5-10 minuta da se malo zgusne. Kukuruzni škrob u posebnoj posudi rastopite u malo vode, pa onda postepeno umiješajte u kremu od naranče. Kuhajte još koju minutu uz stalno miješanje da se sve još više zgusne. Kremu prelijte preko ohlađenog biskvita, pustite da se ohladi na sobnu temperaturu pa ubacite u zamrzivač na barem 30 minuta.

Napravite glazuru tako da pomiješajte skupa kakao prah, rastopljeno kokosovo ulje i med. Prelijte preko ohlađene kreme i brzo poravnajte. Morate stvarno biti brzi jer će se kokosovo ulje početi zgušnjavati čim dođe u dodir sa hladnom kremom. Vratite kolač u zamrzivač na još koji sat prije nego ga narežete na kocke. Poslužite ohlađeno ili smrznuto.

Sweet Coconut Cream Rice (vegan, low histamine) / Slatka riža na kokosovom vrhnju (veganska, niskohistaminska)

Crunch Crunch Away, , , , 2 Comments

Alright, confession time. I planned on making a rice pudding. But somehow, this batch of rice was so stubborn that the grains just refused to break apart. I simmered and simmered, but lo and behold, the grains still looked whole and intact. In the end the greed and impatience simply got the best of me and I decided to dig in. The smell of cloves and vanilla didn’t help my willpower to wait a bit longer. And the rice was so, so tasty. So there you have it, a rice pudding that wasn’t meant to be, but turned out amazing nevertheless.

imgp6034

INGREDIENTS:

(Yields 4 servings / 1.07 EUR per serving / 4.26 EUR for all)

For the rice:

2 cups precooked rice (0.20 EUR)

1 can coconut cream (2.13 EUR)

1 cup water (–)

2 tbsp honey (0.27 EUR)

½ tsp ground cloves (0.03 EUR)

1 tsp pure vanilla extract (0.03 EUR)

Additional for serving:

1 cup frozen blueberries (1.33 EUR)

4 tbsp crushed toasted hazelnuts (0.27 EUR)

imgp6037

METHOD:

Place rice, coconut cream, water, honey, cloves and vanilla in a pot and simmer on medium heat for 40 minutes, until thickened and rice becomes really soft. Stir frequently, so the rice doesn’t burn. Add in a splash more of water if necessary. Serve warm over frozen blueberries, sprinkled with crushed toasted hazelnuts.

Ok, vrijeme je za priznanje. Planirala sam napraviti puding od riže. Ali ova riža koju sam imala je bila abnormalno tvrdoglava i zrnca se jednostavno nisu htjela raspasti. Krčkalo se i krčkalo, ali zrna riže su na kraju i dalje bila cijela i netaknuta. Na kraju su pohlepa i nestrpljivost prevladali i odlučila sam navaliti na hranu. Miris klinčića i vanilije definitivno nije pomogao mojem krhkom strpljenju. A i riža je bila stvarno jako, jako fina. Tako da, eto vam recept za neuspjeli puding od riže, koji je svejedno ispao super.

SASTOJCI:

(Za 4 porcije / 7,99 kn po porciji / 31,95 kn za sve)

Za rižu:

2 šalice kuhane riže (1,50)

1 konzerva kokosovog vrhnja (16,00 kn)

1 šalica vode (–)

2 žlice meda (2,00 kn)

½ žličice mljevenih klinčića (0,25 kn)

1 žličica ekstrakta od vanilije (0,20 kn)

Dodatno za posluživanje:

1 šalica smrznutih borovnica (10,00 kn)

4 žlice drobljenih tostiranih lješnjaka (2,00 kn)

PRIPREMA:

Stavite rižu, kokosovo vrhnje, vodu, med, klinčiće i vanilija u lonac i krčkajte na umjerenoj vatri 40 minuta, dok se sve ne zgusne i riža ne bude jako mekana. Učestalo miješajte kako riža ne bi zagorila, a po potrebi dodajte malo vode. Poslužite toplo preko smrznutih borovnica, posipano sa drobljenim tostiranim lješnjacima.

If you stopped by my blog during the past week you’re already aware that I’ve posted two pesto recipes. Now I bring you a quick and healthy dish, which isn’t really a recipe at all, for simple roasted root veggies that go fantastic with aforementioned pesto.

INGREDIENTS:

(Yields 6 servings / 0.63 EUR per serving / 3.79 EUR for all)

1 kilo of mixed orange, yellow and purple carrots (2.00 EUR)

3 parsley roots (0.50 EUR)

2 tbsp coconut oil (0.27 EUR)

1 tsp salt (0.01 EUR)

½ tsp freshly ground black pepper (0.01 EUR)

imgp5823

METHOD:

Preheat oven to 200°C. Wash, peel and halve or quarter all the veggies. Toss with coconut oil, salt and pepper and spread on a baking sheet. Roast from 45 minutes up to one hour, until veggies are softened and slightly caramelized. Stir once halfway through roasting to ensure even doneness. Serve dolloped with pesto or any other sauce of your choice.

Ako ste u zadnjih tjedan dana navraćali do mojeg bloga, znate da sam objavila dva recepta za pesto. Sada vam donosim jednostavno i zdravo jelo, koje zapravo niti nije recept, za lagano pečeno povrće koje super ide uz gore spomenuti pesto.

SASTOJCI:

(Za 6 porcija / 4,72 kn po porciji / 28,31 kn za sve)

1 kg miješanih narančastih, žutih i ljubičastih mrkvi (15,00 kn)

3 korijena peršina (3,75 kn)

1-2 velika pastrnjaka (7,50 kn)

2 žlice kokosovog ulja (2,00 kn)

1 žličica soli (0,01 kn)

½ žličice svježe mljevenog crnog papra (0,05 kn)

PRIPREMA:

Zagrijte pećnicu na 200°C. Operite, ogulite i raščetvorite ili prepolovite svo povrće. Pomiješajte sa kokosovim uljem, soli i paprom, te raširite po protvanu za pečenje. Pecite od 45 minuta do jednog sata, dok povrće ne omekša i lagano se ne karamelizira. Promiješajte jednom na pola pečenja kako bi osigurali da je sve jednako gotovo. Poslužite sa pestom ili nekim drugim umakom po vašem izboru.

Dear friends, I wish you all a bit belated very merry Christmas and that you thoroughly enjoy the rest of the holidays and festivities. I’m still recuperating a bit from the cleaning and cooking frenzy. As much as I try to keep everything low-key, it’s still difficult to resist the general tendency of going over the top. With the overflow of foodstuff, I haven’t cooked anything substantial since Christmas Eve.

imgp5807

I’m sure I’m not the only one still gnawing on leftovers, so here’s a super quick and easy pesto recipe to brighten things up and dollop over your pasta, salads, roasted veggies or pretty much anything else you can think of. We had three really big indoor basil plants that were ripe and ready for harvest so pesto seemed like the best choice. If you’re going to do a bigger batch of pesto, and there really isn’t any reason why you shouldn’t, freeze whatever you have leftover for later.

imgp5810

INGREDIENTS:

(Yields 1 cup / 0.52 EUR)

Big handful of fresh basil (0.00 EUR / We grew it ourselves for free!)

2 tbsp pumpkin seeds (0.13 EUR)

3 cloves garlic (0.10 EUR)

2 tbsp coconut oil (0.27 EUR)

Good pinch of salt (0.01 EUR)

Good pinch of freshly ground black pepper (0.01 EUR)

METHOD:

Add all ingredients to a food processor and pulse to desired consistency. Taste to adjust seasoning. Voila, your pesto is ready!

Dragi prijatelji, svima vam sa malim zakašnjenjem želim jako sretan Božić i da puno guštate u ostatku blagdana i slavlja. Ja još uvijek dolazim k sebi od manije čišćenja i kuhanja. Koliko god se trudila da sve bude niskog intenziteta, i dalje mi je teško skroz se oduprijeti općoj tendenciji pretjerivanja. Sa svom tom količinom hrane, nisam skuhala ništa konkretno još od Badnjaka.

Sigurna sam da nisam jedina koja još žvače ostatke, tako da evo vam samo jedan brzinski i lagani recep za pesto sa kojim ćete podignuti i osvježiti tjesteninu, salate, pečeno povrće i bilo što drugo što vam padne na pamet. Mi smo doma u teglicama imali tri ogromna bosiljka koja su već neko vrijeme čekala da ih pobrstimo, pa se pesto činio kao najbolji izbor. Ako ćete raditi veću količinu pesta, a nema razloga da to ne napravite, sav višak možete slobodno smrznuti za kasnije.

SASTOJCI:

(Za 1 šalicu / 3,81 kn)

Veliki pregršt svježeg bosiljka (0,00 kn / Mi smo sami svoj uzgojili besplatno!)

2 žlice bučinih sjemenki (1,00 kn)

3 češnja češnjaka (0,75 kn)

2 žlice kokosovog ulja (2,00 kn)

Dobar prstohvat soli (0,01 kn)

Dobar prstohvat svježe mljevenog crnog papra (0,05 kn)

PRIPREMA:

Stavite sve sastojke u multipraktik i pulsirajte do željene gustoće. Kušajte i prilagodite začine. To je to, vaš je pesto spreman!

With an abundance of rich holiday foods and sweets floating around, I decided to sneak in a healthy dish and give us a little break in between munching on cookies. This soup is super creamy in texture, but very light and loaded with veggies. It’s also a breeze to make and that’s a huge plus, especially now when we are all running around to get as much done as humanly possible in preparations for the upcoming festivities. I decided to take advantage on running the oven for other things so all the veggies for the soup got roasted. But feel free to make the soup stovetop if that’s more convenient for you.

imgp5809

INGREDIENTS:

(Yields 4 generous servings / 0.62 EUR per serving / 2.49 EUR for all)

2 large parsnips (1.00 EUR)

1 large parsley root (0.20 EUR)

2 tbsp coconut oil (0.27 EUR)

Good pinch of salt (0.01 EUR)

Good pinch of freshly ground black pepper (0.01 EUR)

1 large onion (0.10 EUR)

3 cloves of garlic (0.10 EUR)

1 small head of cauliflower (0.67 EUR)

4 cups water (–)

2 tbsp of chopped freshly parsley leaves (0.13 EUR)

imgp5818

METHOD:

Preheat oven to 200°C. Wash, peel and roughly chop parsnips and parsley root. Toss them together with coconut oil, salt and pepper and spread out on a baking tray. Quarter onion and halve garlic cloves, both with their skins intact, then nest them with parsnips and parsley. Place in the oven and roast for 30 minutes.

imgp5819

Meanwhile, wash and cut cauliflower florets. After 30 minutes of baking, stir veggies in the tray and arrange cauliflower florets on top, then return to the oven to roast for additional 30 minutes. Once done, allow veggies to cool a bit then peel and discard onion and garlic skins. Pulse all veggies with water in a food processor until smooth. Bring soup to a boil, taste to adjust seasoning and serve sprinkled with chopped fresh parsley leaves.

S obzirom na trenutno izobilje bogate blagdanske hrane i svih dostupnih kolača, odlučila sam podmetnuti jedno zdravo jelo u pauzi između žvakanja keksa. Ova je juhica kremasta u teksturi, ali jako lagana i nakrcana povrćem. Ujedno ju je jednostavno za napraviti, što je ogroman plus, posebno u ovom užurbanom periodu kada svi imamo hrpetinu obaveza za obaviti dok se pripremamo za nadolazeća slavlja. Ja sam odlučila iskoristiti činjenicu da mi je pećnica bila u pogonu radi drugih stvari te je stoga svo povrće za juhu pečeno. Ali, ako vam je to nezgodno, slobodno sve skuhajte u loncu na štednjaku.

SASTOJCI:

(Za 4 izdašne porcije / 4,64 kn po porciji / 18,56 kn za sve)

2 velika pastrnjaka (7,50 kn)

1 veliki korijen peršina (1,50 kn)

2 žlice kokosovog ulja (2,00 kn)

Dobar prstohvat soli (0,01 kn)

Dobar prstohvat svježe mljevenog crnog papra (0,05 kn)

1 veliki luk (0,75 kn)

3 češnja češnjaka (0,75 kn)

1 mala glavice cvjetače (5,00 kn)

4 šalice vode (–)

2 žlice svježeg sjeckanog peršinovog lista (1,00 kn)

PRIPREMA:

Zagrijte pećnicu na 200°C. Operite, ogulite i grubo narežite pastrnjak i korijen peršina. Pomiješajte sa kokosovim uljem, soli i paprom te raširite po protvanu. Raščetvorite luk i raspolovite češnjak, sve skupa sa ljuskama, te ih ugnijezdite među pastrnjak i peršin. Stavite u pećnicu i pecite 30 minuta.

U međuvremenu operite i odrežite cvjetiće karfiola. Nakon 30 minuta pečenja, promiješajte povrće iz protvana i po vrhu poslažite cvjetaču i onda sve skupa vratite u pećnicu na još 30 minuta. Kada je sve gotovo, pustite da se povrće malo ohladi prije nego što skinete i bacite ljuske sa luka i češnjaka. Povrće skupa sa vodom ispasirajte u multipraktiku da bude glatko. Pustite da juha provrije, kušajte i prilagodite začine, te poslužite posipano sa malo svježeg sjeckanog peršina.

Pustite da se povrće mrvicu ohladi prije nego češnjak istisnete iz ljuski i bacite ljuske od luka. Sve propulsirate u multipraktiku skupa sa 6 šalica vode dok ne dobijete glatku masu. Stavite juhicu da prokuha i poslužite vruću, posipanu sjeckanim peršinom.

For all you folks on a low histamine diet, deserts are probably only a distant memory. Well, here come the cookies that actually taste quite good and are super easy to make. I used a silicone mini muffin tray to keep the cookies in place and ensure an easier clean-up, but you can definitely just dump them on a parchment lined baking tray.

imgp5451

INGREDIENTS:

(Yields 11 small cookies / 0.12 EUR per cookie / 1.35 EUR for all)

1 large apple, peeled and grated (0.20 EUR)

3 tbsp coconut oil, melted (0.40 EUR)

Pinch of salt (0.01 EUR)

2 tbsp honey (0.27 EUR)

3/4 cup buckwheat flour (0.40 EUR)

2 tbsp shredded coconut (0.07 EUR)

imgp5452

imgp5454

METHOD:

Preheat oven to 180°C. In a bowl, mix together grated apple, coconut oil, salt and honey. Add in buckwheat flour and stir until uniform. If the mixture appears too thick, feel free to add in a tablespoon of water. Divide the cookie dough between muffin cups, or space out on a parchment lined baking sheet and sprinkle with shredded coconut. Bake for 15-20 minutes, until slightly golden on top.

I can’t tell you how long the cookies will last, because we ate them all right away. 😀

Za sve vas koji ste na niskohistaminskoj dijeti, deserti su vjerojatno samo stvar daleke prošlosti. E pa imam za vas recept za keksiće koji su fini i super jednostavni za napraviti. Ja sam upotrijebila silikonski kalup za mini mafine kako bi keksići ostali na mjestu i čišćenje bilo brzo, ali naravno da ih možete peći na protvanu obloženom masnim papirom.

SASTOJCI:

(Za 11 malih keksića / 0,91 kn po keksu / 10,01 kn za sve)

1 velika jabuka, oguljena i naribana (1,50 kn)

3 žlice rastopljenog kokosovog ulja (3,00 kn)

Prstohvat soli (0,01 kn)

2 žlice meda (2,00 kn)

3/4 šalice heljdinog brašna (3,00 kn)

2 žlice ribanog kokosa (0,50 kn)

PRIPREMA:

Zagrijte pećnicu na 180°C. U zdjeli pomiješajte ribanu jabuku, kokosovo ulje, sol i med. Dodajte heljdino brašno i miješajte da sve bude jednolično. Ako vam se smjesa čini pregustom, slobodno dodajte žlicu vode. Podijelite smjesu za kekse među posudicama za mafine, ili ju raširite po protvanu obloženom papirom za pečenje, a keksiće posipajte ribanim kokosom. Pecite 15-20 minuta, dok keksići ne budu zlatno-žuti.

Rado bi vam rekla koliko dugo keksići mogu stajati, ali problem je u tome što smo sve odmah slistili. 😀

Mozzarella and Veggie Stuffed Peppers (vegetarian, low-histamine) / Paprike punjene mozzarellom i povrćem (vegetarijanske, niskohistaminske)

Crunch Crunch Away, , , , , , , Leave a comment

Peppers are everywhere and the smell of them cooking is just too tempting to be ignored. This is my take on traditional stuffed peppers in an attempt to feed a vegetarian boyfriend on a low-histamine diet.

IMGP5260

INGREDIENTS:

(Yields 7 stuffed peppers / 0.30 EUR per pepper / 2.07 EUR for all)

7 large bell peppers (0.67 EUR)

1 small onion (0.07 EUR)

2 garlic cloves (0.07 EUR)

1 large carrot (0.07 EUR)

1 small zucchini (0.07 EUR)

Handful of fresh parsley (0.07 EUR)

1 cup precooked rice (0.07 EUR)

Good pinch of salt (0.01 EUR)

Good pinch of freshly ground black pepper (0.01 EUR)

1 tsp sweet Hungarian paprika (0.03 EUR)

1 ball of mozzarella cheese (0.93 EUR)

IMGP5261

METHOD:

Preheat oven to 200°C. Wash peppers and remove stem and seeds with a small paring knife, while leaving the rest of the skins intact. Cut mozzarella into 7 equal segments. Wash and finely chop up onion, garlic, carrot, zucchini and parsley, then mix together with rice, salt, pepper and paprika. Using a spoon, place small amount of stuffing in each pepper, add mozzarella slice in the center and then fill up with more stuffing.

IMGP5273

Arrange upturned peppers in an oven-safe dish and bake for 45 minutes, until tops are crispy and slightly charred.

Paprike su svuda oko nas, a mirisi koji se šire dok se kuhaju su jednostavno prezamamni da ih se samo tako može zanemariti. Ovo je moj pokušaj da modificiram tradicionalne punjene paprike i nahranim dečka vegetarijanca na niskohistaminskoj dijeti.

SASTOJCI:

(Za 7 punjenih paprika / 2,19 kn po paprici / 15,31 kn za sve)

7 velikih paprika babura (5,00 kn)

1 mali luk (0,50 kn)

2 češnja češnjaka (0,50 kn)

1 velika mrkva (0,50 kn)

1 mala tikvica (0,50 kn)

Pregršt svježeg peršina (0,50 kn)

1 šalica kuhane riže (0,50 kn)

Dobar prstohvat soli (0,01 kn)

Dobar prstohvat svježe mljevenog crnog papra (0,05 kn)

1 žličica slatke crvene paprike (0,25 kn)

1 loptica mozzarelle (7,00 kn)

PRIPREMA:

Zagrijte pećnicu na 200°C. Operite paprike pa im nožićem izdubite peteljke i sjemenke, pazeći da ne oštetite ostatak kože. Narežite mozzarellu na 7 jednakih dijelova. Operite i fino nasjeckajte luk, češnjak, mrkvu, tikvicu i peršin, pa pomiješajte sa rižom, soli, paprom i crvenom paprikom. Žlicom stavite malu količinu nadjeva u papriku, u sredinu stavite komadić mozzarelle, pa onda napunite do kraja papriku sa još nadjeva.

Složite paprike okrenute prema gore u vatrostalnoj posudi i pecite 45 minuta, dok vrhovi ne budu hrskavi i zažareni.

This recipe is super simple and would work great for any type of summer barbecue, roast potatoes, tortillas or just as a chips dip. The red bull’s horn peppers are super sweet and meaty, so I’ve decided to take current advantage of the markets bursting with peppers.

INGREDIENTS:

(Yields 2 cups of salsa / 0.93 EUR)

4 large red bull’s horn peppers (0.67 EUR)

1 small onion (0.07 EUR)

3 cloves garlic (0.10 EUR)

Good pinch of salt (0.01 EUR)

Good pinch of freshly ground black pepper (0.01 EUR)

2 tablespoon of finely chopped fresh parsley (0.07 EUR)

IMGP5264

METHOD:

Preheat oven to 220°C. Wash and pat dry the peppers, then arrange in a baking dish. Bake for 45 minutes, until charred and blistered. Allow peppers to cool down enough to handle.

Meanwhile, roughly chop up onion and garlic. Pull and discard stems and seeds out of peppers and add to the food processor together with onion, garlic, salt and black pepper. For creamier texture, feel free to peel the skins off peppers before adding to the food processor, but I left the skins on. Pulse to desired consistency, taste and adjust seasoning and stir in chopped parsley.

Serve chilled. The salsa will keep refrigerated in an airtight container for up to a week.

Ovaj je receptić super jednostavan i izvrsno ide uz bilo koji ljetni roštilj, pečene krumpire, tortilje ili kao jednostavni umak uz čips. Crvene paprike roge su baš jako slatke i mesnate, pa sam odlučila iskoristiti činjenicu što ih sada na tržnicama ima na vagone.

SASTOJCI

(Za 2 šalice umaka / 6,81 kn)

4 velike crvene paprike roge (5,00 kn)

1 mali luk (0,50 kn)

3 češnja češnjaka (0,75 kn)

Dobar prstohvat soli (0,01 kn)

Dobar prstohvat svježe mljevenog crnog papra (0,05 kn)

2 žlice fino nasjeckanog svježeg peršina (0,50 kn)

PRIPREMA:

Zagrijte pećnicu na 220°C. Operite i posušite paprike, pa ih raširite po posudi za pečenje. Pecite 45 minuta, dok ne budu tamne i napuhane. Pustite da se paprike ohlada da ih možete dirati rukama.

U međuvremenu, grubo narežite luk i češnjak. Izvucite i bacite peteljke i sjemenke iz paprika, pa ih ubacite u multipraktik sa lukom, češnjakom, soli i paprom. Za kremastiju teksturu slobodno ogulite kožu sa paprika prije nego ih stavite u multipraktik, ali ja sam ih samljela skupa sa kožom. Pulsirajte do željene gustoće, kušajte i prilagodite začine, te umiješajte nasjeckani peršin.

Poslužite ohlađeno. Umak će držati u hladnjaku u hermetički zatvorenoj posudi do tjedan dana.

Easiest Green Beans Ever (Vegan) / Najlakše mahune ikad (veganske)

I feel like green beans are a totally underestimated vegetable. Which is sad, because I really like them a lot. The following recipe works great served either warm or cold. I usually serve the green beans warm as a side dish, but cold as a salad. For me both are equally tasty and satisfying.

IMGP5170

INGREDIENTS:

(Yields 4 servings / 0.30 EUR per serving / 1.21 EUR for all)

2 tbsp olive oil (0.09 EUR)

500 g of frozen green beans (1.00 EUR)

3 cloves of garlic, minced (0.10 EUR)

Good pinch of salt (0.01 EUR)

Good pinch of freshly ground black pepper (0.01 EUR)

IMGP5174

METHOD:

Preheat a deep skillet or a pot on high heat. Add in oil, green beans, minced garlic, salt and pepper and stir vigorously. Cook covered for 10-15 minutes, while stirring occasionally. Adjust the cooking time by how well done you prefer your green beans. The recipe would also work great with fresh green beans, but I would briefly blanch those before cooking with garlic and spices.

Čini mi se kao da  su mahune totalno podcijenjeno povrće. Što je malo tužno, jer ih ja stvarno jako volim. Ovaj recept funkcionira jednako dobro topao ili hladan. Ja obično mahune poslužim tople kao prilog, a hladne kao salatu. Oboje mi je jednako fino.

SASTOJCI:

(Za 4 porcije / 2,24 kn po porciji / 8,97 kn za sve)

2 žlice maslinovog ulja (0,66 kn)

500 g smrznutih zelenih mahuna (7,50 kn)

3 češnja češnjaka, sitno nasjeckana (0,75 kn)

Dobar prstohvat soli (0,01 kn)

Dobar prstohvat svježe mljevenog crnog papra (0,05 kn)

PRIPREMA:

Zagrijte duboku tavu ili lonac na visokoj temperaturi. Dodajte ulje, mahune, sjeckani češnjak, sol i papar pa dobro promiješajte. Kuhajte poklopljeno 10-15 minuta uz povremeno miješanje. Vrijeme kuhanja prilagodite tome kakvu teksturu mahuna volite. Ovaj bi recept jednako dobro funkcionirao i sa svježim mahunama, samo bi ih ja kratko blanširalal prije nego što bi ih stavila kuhati sa češnjakom i začinima.
