Comfrey Fritters

24/06/2018 By

Ingredients

1 x cup flour

Water or flat beer

Salt, Paprika or herbs to taste

Oil (olive or coconut)

Method

Choose your favourite flour, make a batter of flour and water (1 cup flour & enough water or flat beer to make a “sticky batter”. You can also add salt, paprika or herbs to taste.
Dunk each leaf into your batter, making sure that each leaf is well covered with batter.
Fry in some oil (my choice is olive or coconut) in a hot pan until they turn golden brown (about 5 mins). Leave some stems on so it is easy to turn them over and pick them up.
You can eat them as they are or add to a meal.

Easy Sweet Leaf Stew

21/05/2018 By

Boil up Sweet Leaf leaves and tips with some onion and casava in coconut water. Take off the boil and add coconut cream, chilli and soy sauce to taste.

Delicious! Couldn’t be more simple. I have lived on this dish. The smell of sweet leaf cooking is a savory delight.

Cassava Cake

14/03/2018 By

Cassava cake is one of the Filipino delicacies or “kakanin”, it can be soft and chewy or firm. It is easy to make and the ingredients are easy to find especially if you have cassava planted in your garden.

Ingredients:

4 cups grated fresh cassava

3 eggs

1 tin – approx 400 mls – coconut cream

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

½ cup sugar (I use coconut palm sugar or rapadura sugar)

½ cup desiccated coconut

Extra desiccated coconut or Coconut Crunch (Banaban brand from Health Food Stores)

Method:

Mix all ingredients, except extra coconut, together in a large bowl and pour into a baking paper lined lamington tray.

Sprinkle extra desiccated coconut/coconut crunch over the top to lightly cover completely.  Bake in oven @ 180 degrees  for 30-45 minutes then turn the heat down and bake for a further 15 minutes.  Insert a skewer in centre of cake to test if cooked through.  The cake will continue to set and firm up overnight in the fridge.

Rosella Jam

10/02/2018 By

Cook the rosellas with a little water, until soft, and puree in a blender. Measure how many cups of pulp, and add to it half the measurement in sugar. Bring to the boil and simmer, until a tablespoon of the jam shows that it is setting, by thickening when it is placed on a cool saucer. This may take 15-30 minutes of simmering. When the jam shows it is setting, fill into jars and seal. Include some of the seeds (secured in a small bag or cloth) to provide natural pectin to assist. You can use 1 cup of honey to 4 cups of pulp as an alternative to sugar but the jam would then need to be kept in the fridge to prevent mould from growing.
