<br />
If you have AIP compliant fish sauce feel free to use some of that too :) I would also add finely chopped lemon grass in with the onion at the start next time.<br />

Breakfasts
aren't too hard when you're on holidays, but returning to work tomorrow
means I need to get organised to ensure I can eat a good AIP
(Autoimmune Protocol) breakfast.<br />
<br />
Doing AIP has let me rediscover my love of pork, but I'm sure you could choose chicken for this, or maybe even beef.<br />
<br />
These were delicious!!<br />
<br />
this made enough for 5 breakfasts for me. <br />
<br />
If you don't have a thermomix just finely chop / grate everything and mix by hand :)<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Bacon Lemon Breakfast Pork Patties</b><br />
<br />
3 garlic cloves, peeled <br />
zest of 1/4 - 1/2 lemon<br />
2 whole bacon rashers, cut into 4 pieces<br />
1 carrot, ends removed & cut into 4 pieces<br />
500g pork mince <br />
black pepper<br />
<br />
chop garlic and zest in thermomix on speed 6 until you hear it stop hitting the sides - around 5 seconds<br />
add bacon and carrot, then chop on speed 6 until almost all big pieces are gone<br />
add
pork mince and pepper, turn to closed lid and hid turbo until well
mixed. you may need to use a spatula to ensure mix is combined evenly.<br />
<br />
form into 10 patties and fry in a little bacon fat or lard until brown and cooked through.<br />
<br />
I
then fried some bacon in the pan, and then cooked sliced mushrooms and
baby spinach. also served with half a diced avocado - yum!<br />

Needed a quick salad dressing for lunch so threw half a bunch of fresh basil in the thermomix. added maybe 1/4 cup pine nuts (or almonds or cashews), good sprinkle salt and a few tabs of olive oil. I used a blood orange flavoured one. chop on speed 6 for maybe 5 seconds.<br />
<br />
i found that this wasn't enough ingredients to get a smooth dressing happening but it was a nice chunky dressing.<br />
<br />
I served mine over mixed leaves, cooked chicken and avocado, but i think something to add a little sweetness - some cranberries, or roast pumpkin or sweet potato, would have added to it.Karen TWhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02902085160262739846noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16187844.post-71500895138579351342014-01-05T15:23:00.000+11:002014-01-05T15:23:29.987+11:00Dairy-free Cauliflower Pizza Base - tested<br />

I made the <a href="http://brazen20au.blogspot.com.au/2014/01/dairy-free-cauliflower-pizza-base.html" target="_blank">Dairy-free cauliflower pizza base</a> last night. mine is green because i put parsley and basil in it lol<br />
<br />
I didn't mind it and would definitely have it again. however there is no way I'd sneak this past any of my family. I think perhaps the dairy version with cheese would be more successful for sneaking ;)<br />
<br />
I did learn that making one big base is not a good idea, as the edges were nice and crispy, but the middle was thick and soggy. I will make small individual "pieces" instead.<br />
<br />
I also steamed my cauliflower in the tmx basket (lined with baking paper) and i suspect that was an error as it made it much wetter than it should have been.<br />

<br />
1 tspn coconut oil<br />
1 tspn ground coriander<br />
1 tspn ground cumin<br />
1/2 tspn ground turmeric<br />
1 stick lemon grass<br />
2 cloves garlic<br />
1 inch ginger <br />
2 green shallots / spring onions<br />
roots and stalks of 1/2 bunch coriander (washed well!)<br />
chilli to taste<br />
2 kaffir lime leaves, or one piece of lime peel <br />
around 500g pork and veal mince<br />
2 tspns coconut oil <br />
satay sauce of your choice - Graeme recommended masterfoods<br />
1 tin (400ml) coconut milk / cream<br />
snowpeas or other vegies of your choice<br />
chopped coriander leaves to serve <br />
<br />
melt coconut oil & heat bowl - <b>2 minutes, varoma speed soft</b><br />
add spices and cook <b>3-4 minutes varoma speed soft</b><br />
add in lemon grass, garlic, ginger, shallots, coriander roots / stalks, kaffir lime and chilli and chop on <b>speed 6</b> until it stops hitting the sides. scrape down and repeat.<br />
add mince and mix by turning knob to <b>closed lid</b> and pressing <b>turbo </b>several times until well mixed<br />
melt 2 tspns coconut oil in fry pan then shape mince into large balls and add to pan. cook over med-med high until browned all over<br />
add coconut cream and several large dollops of satay sauce to taste (you don't want a strong satay taste, just mild). turn heat down and simmer gently for about 5-10 mins<br />
add vegies and cook just long enough for vegies to be slightly soft.<br />
<br />
serve sprinkled with chopped coriander. serve over rice, or if carb free i think you could either eat it on its own, or eat over shredded wombuk (chinese cabbage)<br />
<br />
photo soon!<br />

Gluten free muffins have been one of the hardest things I've found in the past 5 years! they have either been like cupcakes, or way too dry for the most part. just generally unenjoyable.<br />
<br />
I've finally found a recipe that works for us! not only that but it's easily exchangable flavour-wise. based on <a href="http://realsustenance.com/easy-gluten-freevegan-quick-bread-base-with-endless-flavor-possibilities/" target="_blank">this recipe</a> I have tweaked it slightly to suit us. I have had to add extra liquid because of the banana flour and chia seeds.<br />
<br />
<b>Gluten Free Muffin Base - makes 12</b><br />
DRY <br />
1/2 cup banana or coconut flour<br />
1 1/2 cups Gf plain flour<br />
1 tspn bicarb soda<br />
1 tspn baking powder<br />
1 tspn xanthan gum ( this is probably optional though i haven't tried it without yet)<br />
1/2 tspn salt<br />
3/4 cup coconut sugar<br />
1/4 cup chia seeds <br />
WET<br />
1/2 cup rice bran oil<br />
1 tspn apple cider vinegar in a cup measure, topped up with rice milk to fill <br />
1 1/2 cups yoghurt (i used jalna vanilla)<br />
2 eggs <br />
1 tspn vanilla essence<br />
<br />
plus whatever flavourings you like, around 1 cup-ish *<br />
<br />
<br />
mix dry ingredients well - if you have lumps use your fingers to squish them out :)<br />
most flavours are better mixed in with the dry ingredients<br />
<br />
in a separate bowl mix wet ingredients well<br />
<br />
pour wet ingredients over dry and mix with a large spoon until JUST BARELY mixed<br />
<br />
place in muffin tin and cook for 25 minutes at around 17'c<br />
<br />
<br />
* we tried 3 flavours using:<br />
<b>Triple Choc</b><br />
1 heaped tablespoon cocoa<br />
1/3 cup each dark and white choc chips<br />
<br />
<b>Berry</b><br />
1 punnet (around 3/4 cup) fresh or frozen blueberries<br />
either 5 strawberries, topped and chopped into blueberry-sized pieces OR around 1/3 cup white choc chips<br />
<br />
<b>Spiced Apple</b><br />
grate one apple<br />
1/4 cup of my <a href="http://brazen20au.blogspot.com.au/2013/06/quickest-breakfast-ever-gf-tmx.html" target="_blank">nut and seed mix</a> <br />
add about 1.5 tspn cinnamon, around 1/4 - 1/2 tspn cardamom and a pinch of nutmeg and cloves<br />

<br />
this was based on a few of Jamie Oliver's recipes and is very quick and easy<br />
<br />
2 chicken breasts, cut into 1cm slices<br />
2 tab tandoori paste<br />
4-6 tabs plain full fat yoghurt<br />
1 tin coconut cream<br />
1 red capsicum, cut into 2" pieces<br />
3-400g pumpkin, peeled and thinly sliced <br />
olive oil<br />
salt to taste<br />
basmati rice<br />
frozen peas (around 1 cup)<br />
vegies of your choice - we had cauliflower and snow peas<br />
coriander, chopped to serve <br />
<br />
mix tandoori paste and yoghurt and mix chicken through well. leave to marinade for up to 8 hours - i only did 5 minutes and that was fine though longer would be better!<br />
<br />
cook chicken on BBQ grill. toss capsicum and pumpkin in a splash of olive oil and grill<br />
<br />
add remaining marinade to coconut cream in small saucepan. add salt to taste and stir well. bring to the boil and reduce ot simmer. cook until all other ingredients are done and sauce has thickened<br />
<br />
cook rice by absorption method, adding peas<br />
<br />
steam vegies (i did mine over the rice, adding the cauli half way through and the snow peas when the rice was done and sitting)<br />
<br />
serve with the sauce drizzled over and sprinkled with corianderKaren TWhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02902085160262739846noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16187844.post-62182894613381435012013-07-23T19:46:00.001+10:002013-07-28T10:25:10.908+10:00First trial - Gluten Free Turkish Bread (GF, TMX)I thought this was so-so and plan to play around with it more but both the girls loved it and ate almost the lot with beetroot dip!<br />

<br />
while the endoscopy wasn't obviously positive it wasn't definitely negative either. the surgeon said with her particular blood results (which he is the first to explain to us - her IGA was low (???)) that he believes she is coeliac but it may never show as positive in bloods or endoscopy until too late.
so we're trialling a gluten free diet to see if it helps her and get official test results in 2 weeks.<br />
<br />
so I daresay i will be trialling some new GF recipes in the near future - stay tuned!!! my first project is a gluten free turkish bread as she adores that stuff!<br />

(GF, TMX)So I'm back on my carb-free diet. most of my past recipes don't strictly meet the diet i'm on unfortunately but i'm getting creative again.<br />
<br />
breakfasts are a little boring because i can't do toast, cereal, bacon etc. so I vary between eggs in a variety of ways and then decided to go with yoghurt for something different - also for a quick breakfast at work when i haven't had time to eat before we leave for the day.<br />
<br />
last week i went into supabarn to get nuts and seeds to put with the yoghurt and found a yummy mix already prepared! but at $10 a jar (the size of a pasta sauce jar) i realised it could only be cheaper to make it myself at home, which I've just done.<br />
<br />
you could use this mix in anything - over salads, over the top of a casserole with cheese for a crunchy grilled topping etc<br />

this is based on a soup my vietnamese boyfriend at uni used to make, though changed to fit the yeast free / anti-candida diet thing...Karen TWhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02902085160262739846noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16187844.post-79772287627634298572013-04-07T14:55:00.004+10:002013-07-04T11:02:14.681+10:00thai style vegies and quinoa (GF)<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

another dish from my 'yeast control' (formerly 'anti-candida' lol) diet...<br />
<br />
i pre-cooked a whole heap of quinoa so i had it ready to go. when i cook quinoa i am paranoid about losing the bitter taste after one time i forgot to pre-soak etc, disgusting! so when i do quinoa i soak in boiling water for 20 mins, then drain and rinse well, then cook in boiling / simmering water for about 15 mins. drain and rinse well and it's ready to go. i just cooked the rest of the dish in the same saucepan.<br />
<br />
so to do the thai style dish:<br />
<br />
1 tspn coconut oil<br />
2-3 finely chopped garlic cloves<br />
2cm finely chopped ginger (of course you can do this first part in the thermomix, i just happened not to)<br />
1 red onion, sliced<br />
1/2 stalk broccoli, cut into bite size pieces (i used the stalk too)<br />
a handful of green beans, topped, tailed and cut into bite size pieces<br />
1 medium zucchini, cut into pieces<br />
2 tspn stock concentrate<br />
1 can coconut milk<br />
around 1/2 can water<br />
6-9 drop stevia (or 3-4 tspns of a darker sugar)<br />
juice of half a lime<br />
chopped or dried chili to your taste<br />
handful of chopped coriander<br />
handful of vietnamese mint<br />
about a cup or so of cooked quinoa<br />
<br />
heat oil, add garlic, ginger and onion, cook stirring for a minute<br />
add vegies and cook stirring for around 2 minutes.<br />
add all other ingredients except quinoa, reserving 2/3 of the herbs<br />
turn heat down to medium low and cook for around 10 mins until vegies are done.<br />
add quinoa and herbs and cook a few more minutes until warmed through.<br />
<br />
serve<br />
<br />
this would be lovely with tofu, chicken or prawns in it tooKaren TWhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02902085160262739846noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16187844.post-79438107664113478322013-04-01T13:29:00.002+11:002013-04-01T13:29:46.034+11:00Almond Coconut Balls (GF, TMX)These balls were actually a little too coconutty for me. but i think i'll try them again with some lemon and lime zest in them, or with some cacao nibs and cinnamon, or with hazelnut butter and cacao - yum!<br />
<br />
270g almonds (i use the organic ones from costco)<br />
<br />
you'll need to scrape down every so often as you make the <a href="http://detoxinista.com/2012/09/how-to-make-homemade-almond-butter/" target="_blank">almond butter</a><br />
<br />
Grind on <b>speed 8</b> until you can hear the change in sound - around <b>5 seconds</b><br />
<br />
continue to grind on <b>speed 6</b> until you can hear the sound of the engine change - around <b>5-10 minute</b>s. as they grind the temperature will rise, that's normal :)<br />
<br />
reduce the speed to <b>speed 4</b> and keep going for another <b>5-10 minutes</b> until it becomes almost runny and looks like peanut butter.<br />
<br />
turn speed up to 8 for a few seconds and you're done.<br />
<br />
<br />
add in:<br />
80g coconut flour<br />
35g shredded coconut<br />
50g coconut milk<br />
80g coconut oil<br />
9 drops stevia<br />
<br />
mix on speed 4 for a few seconds, roll into balls and refrigerate until firm.<br />

<br />
as much plain creamy yoghurt as you want (i'm using the Aldi organic one)<br />
stevia to taste (6 drops for me)<br />
then add: slivered almonds, cacao nibs, chia seeds and pepita seeds.<br />
1 tspn coconut oil<br />
mix well and eat!<br />
<br />
surprisingly delicious for something so simple!Karen TWhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02902085160262739846noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16187844.post-26514035880076227392013-03-30T18:38:00.001+11:002013-03-30T18:38:42.924+11:00JO tweaked (GF)tonight i used one of our jamie oliver 15mm faves for dinner, with a few tweaks for the anti-candida thang...<br />
<br />
i made the kofte with finely chopped macadamias, parsley, garlic and beef mince<br />
<br />
instead of cous cous (which is gluten) i did basmati rice (which i'm not strictly supposed to have, but baby steps right) and quinoa<br />
<br />
and the salad had lettuce, tomato, cucumber, red onions, fresh oregano and goats cheese, as well as some of the aldi organic plain yoghurt (which is delish i have to say)<br />
<br />
quite yum, though it was definitely missing the olives :(Karen TWhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02902085160262739846noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16187844.post-66765740164596215042013-03-29T13:04:00.000+11:002013-03-29T14:43:28.840+11:00Kerala Curry (JO 15mm) (GF)just made <a href="http://www.jamieoliver.com/recipes/vegetables-recipes/keralan-veggie-curry-with-poppadoms-rice-minty-yoghurt" target="_blank">this quick vegie curry</a> from Jamie Oliver's 15 minute meals. I didn't put the pineapple in because i'm not supposed to eat it at the moment, and geoff wouldn't eat it. bit of a shame because it needed a touch of sweetness. other than that the only change i made was to add some brussels sprouts.<br />
<br />
it was ok and i think it would definitely be delicious with the pineapple added.<br />
