Lemon Millet Risotto

Yum
Do you ever feel like you are in a rut, cooking wise?  I've been feeling that way for a while, especially dinner-wise.  I feel like we're eating the same thing over and over, especially when it comes to the side dishes.  We seem to rotate between potatoes and rice, and I've desperately needed to break that cycle.  Sometimes I forget how many grains I have at my disposal, that are actually in my kitchen.  So, trying to think outside of my potato and rice box, I came up with this millet risotto.  For years. I was too intimidated to make rizotto, thinking it would be too complicated.  Can I just tell you it's really simple, you just have to make sure to watch it, that's all.



This dish is the perfect springtime side dish, the lemon makes it light, and yet it's still creamy and comforting.  You can definitely add in asparagus and/or peas, or anything else you like, for a more complete dish.

Lemon Millet Risotto
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 cup finely chopped onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup millet
1 cup water
4 cups chicken broth (I use Imagine brand low sodium)
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon lemon zest
2 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
salt and pepper to taste

Directions
In a large saucepan, heat oil over medium-high heat.  Add in onion and cook for about 3-4 minutes, then add in the garlic and cook another minute.  Add in millet and toast it for 1-2 minutes, then add in the 1 cup of water.  Bring to a boil. Keep heat at medium to medium high throughout the cooking process.

Meanwhile, in a separate saucepan, heat the chicken broth.  When the millet has absorbed most, but not all of the water, add in 1/2 cup of the chicken broth.  Stir until the liquid is mostly absorbed, then add another 1/2 cup of broth.  Continue doing this until there is no more broth, it will take at least 25 minutes.

Once most of the broth is absorbed add in the lemon juice and lemon zest, and heat through.  Check seasonings and add salt and pepper to taste.  Finish the dish by topping with parsley.

Seeded Teff Pull-Apart Rolls

Yum
I have two favorite breads on my blog, my teff sandwich bread and my multigrain seeded bread.  When I make a loaf of one of these, it's strictly just for me, no sharing at all.  So, I decided to combine the two, for some amazing pull-apart rolls.  Because, I wanted to show you, you don't have to have your rolls in muffin tins, just because the dough is more like a thick, sticky batter, and also, because I just really wanted these. :)



Don't they look beautiful in that pan? Really, they are the perfect combination of my two breads...the wonderful taste of teff, combined with the amazing texture from the seeds...I think I have a new favorite!


 

Seeded Teff Pull-Apart Rolls
1 1/4 cup warm water
1 tablespoon yeast
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
3/4 cup teff flour
2/3 cup potato starch
2/3 cup tapioca starch
1/3 cup almond flour
1 tablespoon ground flax seed
1 tablespoon chia seeds
1 tablespoon whole grain millet
1 tablespoon roughly chopped pumpkin seeds
1 tablespoon sunflower seeds, plus more to sprinkle on top
1 tablespoon sesame seeds, plus more to sprinkle on top
1 tablespoon poppy seeds, plus more to sprinkle on top
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoon guar gum
2 teaspoons (1 pkg) gelatin
2 egg whites


Directions:
In a small bowl mix together water, yeast, honey, oil, and vinegar.  Let sit for 3-5 minutes or until yeast is dissolved and beginning to proof.

In a mixing bowl, stir together dry ingredients.  Add the yeast mixture to the dry ingredients and mix on low speed until combined.  Add in the egg whites.  Once combined, mix on high speed for 3-5 minutes.

Grease a 9-10" round pan or a 1/4 sheet baking pan. Scoop the batter into the pan using a 1/4 cup spring-release scoop, placing the rolls right next to each other.  Cover and let rise in a warm, humid environment for 20 minutes. (If you are like me and live in a dry, cold environment, do the following:  heat a very wet tea towel in the microwave until it is piping hot.  Quickly open the microwave, place the pan of rolls inside and place the hot towel on top and shut the microwave again.  It should stay warm and moist in there for 20 minutes.

As the bread is rising, preheat the oven to 400F.

Bake for 25-30 minutes.  After 25 minutes, check the internal temperature of the bread.  It is done when it reaches 200-205F.

Blackberry Spice Cupcakes with a Maple and Brown Sugar Meringue

Yum
Are you looking for something different?  Not your everyday cupcake?  You found it! 


Okay, I will tell you I love this cake, but when I first tried it I wasn't sure...but after eating more cupcakes then I'd like to admit, I decided that it is pretty dang good.  It's not your every day cake, but it's perfect if you're looking for something different.  My little one absolutely loved these and devoured his faster than I thought was possible. So, if you're looking for something other than your typical chocolate, yellow, or even carrot cake, you're reading the right post!


Blackberry Spice Cupcakes
4 eggs
1 1/2 cups coconut sugar
1/4 cup honey
1 cup coconut oil
2 cups blackberries
2 cups gluten-free flour blend
1/2 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon cloves
1/2 teaspoon allspice
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg

Directions

Preheat oven to 350F. Line muffin tins with liners and set aside.

In a large bowl, beat together eggs, coconut oil, coconut sugar, and honey.  Add in the blackberries and mix well. In a separate bowl combine the dry ingredients.  Add the dry ingredients to the wet ones and mix well. Scoop into muffin cups.

Bake at 350F for ~20 minutes for cupcakes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean.

Let the cupcakes cool for a few minutes in the pan then turn them out onto a wire rack and cool completely.

Maple and Brown Sugar Meringue 
(i.e. Swiss Meringue)
4 large egg whites
1 cup coconut sugar
2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla

Directions:
Prepare a double boiler, if you don't have one use a saucepan filled up to 1" with water.  Heat the pan over medium heat to allow the water to simmer.

Combine the egg whites, coconut sugar, maple syrup, and salt in a heat proof bowl and place the bowl over the saucepan. Whisk the mixture constantly over the simmering water until it is hot to the touch, it takes about 5 minutes.

Transfer the mixture to your stand mixer and whip the mixture until stiff peaks form, add in the vanilla and mix until combined.  (Note: I have found the the coconut sugar does not lend to light, fluffy, stiff peaks, it continually gives me softer peaks, but still tastes incredible).  Use the meringue immediately...it does not last like frosting.

Refined Sugar-Free Do-si-dos

Yum

I love my Do-si-do recipe, but I'm having issues with refined sugar.  I've had these issues for a long time, and I'm still battling them.  I get horribly sick when I eat refined sugar.  I almost instantly get a headache, then my throat becomes raw and swells.  It's never dramatically swelled, but just enough to let me know something is wrong.  So, with all of these symptoms you would think I would never eat refined sugar again, I wish I was that way.  It is my demon, it's so easy to eat something with white sugar in it, there is always something available, and I've always cooked with it, so it seems easier to cook that way.  So in my constant battle against against this demon that is wrecking my health and made myself my favorite girl scout cookies, minus the refined sugars and they are still as fantastic as ever. 



  I actually make mine so they are soft cookies, because I'm a soft cookie person, but they can easily be the classic crunchy cookie by cooking them a bit longer.



Refined Sugar-Free Do-si-dos
1 cup palm oil shortening
1 cup creamy natural peanut butter
2 cups coconut sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 1/2 cups GF flour blend
1/2 tablespoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups quick cooking gluten free oats
1-2 tablespoons of dairy-free milk, if needed

filling:
1 cup creamy peanut butter
1/2 cup honey
1 teaspoon vanilla

Directions:
Preheat oven to 375F. With a stand mixer, combine shortening, peanut butter, and coconut sugar until light and fluffy. Add in the eggs and vanilla and mix well.  In a separate bowl, combine the flour blend, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.  Add the flour mixture to the peanut butter mixture.  Stir in the oats.  If the mixture is too crumbly, add in a tablespoon or two of dairy-free milk, as needed.

Roll into small balls and flatten with the bottom of a clean glass. Bake at 375F for 8-10 minutes (longer if you want crispy cookies).  Let cool on tray for 5 minutes, then remove and finish cooling on a cooling rack.

While cookies cool, make the filling by mixing together the peanut butter, honey and vanilla with a handmixer until smooth and fluffy.  Spread on the bottom of one half and sandwich together with another cookie.

Makes about 4 dozen sandwich cookies.
