Ingredients
  1. 2 tbsps of Dreamy Carrot & Nutmeg spice
  2. 1 onion
  3. 1-2 zucchini
  4. 1 carrot
  5. 30g olive oil
  6. 6 eggs
  7. 4 tbsps of flour
  8. 3 thick sliced rashers of bacon cut into pieces with the fat trimmed
  9. 200g grated cheese (we love feta but use your favourite)
Instructions
  1. Cut onions in quarters and add to the TM bowl along with 30g olive oil.
  2. 5 secs | speed 4 | then scrape down the sides of the TM bowl and cook for 2 mins | speed 1 | 90°.
  3. Add in roughly chopped zucchini and carrot. At this point you can swap the carrot and zucchini for any vegetables of your choice.
  4. 5 secs | speed 5 to get a really finely chopped consistency. Less if you like your vegetables chunky.
  5. Add in eggs, flour and Dreamy Carrot & Nutmeg Spice Blend.
  6. 5 secs | speed 3
  7. Pour into a lined tin and sprinkle over the cheese and bacon pieces.
  8. Cook in a preheated at 200° fan forced for 25-30 mins until nicely golden on top.
  9. Leave to cool slightly and then slice and serve sprinkled with bacon dust and some grated parmesan cheese or allow to go completely cold in the fridge. Cut into slices and enjoy!
Notes
  1. Bacon Dust
  2. Pimp your slice by cutting the bacon fat trimming into little pieces and cooking in the oven alongside your slice until completely crisp. Once cold place in a Ziploc bag and bash into tiny pieces to sprinkle over the pie. This is next level delicious and worth the extra bit of effort :).

Ingredients
  1. Olive Oil
  2. 2-3 tablespoons Rockin' Moroccan Gourmet Seasoning Mix
  3. 1/2 kilo Green Prawns
Instructions
  1. Remove the heads by pulling and twisting. They should come off with ease. Grab around the eyes and firmly twist to pull the head off.
  2. Pull off the legs. Simply use your hand to pinch off the small dangling legs and pull them away.
  3. You can still remove the vein while leaving the shell on. To do so, clip the shell with scissors and pull the vein out, closing the shell back up. You can also pull the entire vein out in one piece if you break the head off and locate it.
  4. Rinse under running water and pat dry with paper towels. Moisture on the outside of the prawn will make the cook unevenly. Give them a quick rinse with cold water and then dry them off.
  5. If you don't plan on cooking them yet, keep the prawns on ice or in the refrigerator.
  6. Coat the Prawns in olive oil and 3 tablespoons of the Moroccan Seasoning and let them sit for 15minutes.
  7. Pan Fry or BBQ the green prawns turning them when the prawn turns bright red/orange and cook briefly on the second side until the flesh is no longer glassy.
Notes
  1. When cooking prawns on the BBQ it’s best to leave them in their shells as the intense direct heat can damage the flesh if not protected. Also, a lot of flavour is transferred from the shell to the flesh when you cook with it intact. My favourite tip is to slice through he back of the prawn with a serrated knife, remove the intestinal tract and the rub in the seasoning mix. That way you get the best of your marinade and the flavour from the shell, and a perfectly clean prawn! What more could you want?

Light & Crispy South Indian Dosas

Light & Crispy South Indian Dosas

Light & Crispy South Indian Dosas
I had a craving and have been perfecting a recipe for light and crispy South Indian style dosas at home. I think I've got it! I've been using The Spice Trading Company Gourmet Dip and Seasoning Mixes. I dipped my crispy dosas in the Magical Mint and Coriander blend made into a dip. I blended 1/2 packet with 125gms natural plain yoghurt for a perfect accompaniment! Crispy, lacy dosas for people who love Indian food but find it hard to get the right ingredients. These dosas are gluten free. Perfect for snacks, dipping into chutneys and as an accompaniment for curries.

Ingredients
  1. 1/2 cup buckwheat flour
  2. 1/2 cup rice flour
  3. 1/4 cup plain yoghurt
  4. 1 tbsp coconut oil
  5. 1 cup carbonated water
  6. 1 tsp flaky sea salt
  7. 1 green jalapeno chilli, finely chopped
  8. 2 tbsp coriander, finely chopped
  9. 1 spring onion, finely chopped
  10. 1/2 tsp cumin seeds
  11. 1 tbsp chia seeds
Instructions
  1. Add the buckwheat flour, rice flour, yoghurt, coconut oil and water to a blender. Mix well and check the consistency of the batter. It should be like double cream. Add more water, 1 tablespoon at a time if needed.
  2. Add the salt, chopped chilli, coriander, onion, cumin & chia seeds. Stir to combine and let this mixture rest for about 15 minutes. Check again the consistency and add a little water if thickened too much.
  3. Heat a large griddle or frying pan until smoking hot. Pour a ladle of batter in a circular motion and turn the pan to allow it to spread out as much as possible yet still stay together.
  4. Cook for 3-5 minutes on this side, then flip for another minute on the other side. Set aside on a plate while you cook the other dosas.
Notes
  1. If you don't have buckwheat flour, you can easily grind whole buckwheat kernels in a food processor. If you can't find buckwheat, then you could use oats (and grind them down as well). The end result will not be as crispy though.
  2. These dosas can be made in advance then heated up in a skillet right before serving.

  1. 1/2 can chickpeas
  2. 1/2 packet Wild Beetroot & Onion
  3. Juice of 1 lime
  4. 1/4 bunch mint leaves, chopped
  5. 1/2 cup tahini
  6. 1/2 cup plain yoghurt

Notes
  1. I made up some easy Beet and Mint Hummus today for a friends' lunch picnic. I got sent some lovely gourmet dip mixes from @spicetradingco to try and they are great! This Wild Beetroot & Onion flavour is delicious and much easier than dealing with raw beetroot! It's worth mentioning that these blends are totally gluten free and have no added salt/sugar: just great flavour to add to your dips, roasts, vegetable and pasta dishes..
  2. You can check out The Spice Trading Co to buy the selection of mixes.
  3. (BTW, this is not a sponsored post. I'm just trying them out and reviewing so stay tuned if interested!)
