Gluten Free Buckwheat Wraps

This came about when I ordered 4kg of Buckwheat Flour thinking I could use it to make sourdough. Turns out it's more suited to flat breads, wraps and pizza bases, OR mixed with other flours I didn't have. 

Queue a million buckwheat wraps over the past month. 

I have fallen in love. And buckwheat flour will now be a pantry staple!

They are so versatile. 



Sweet with coconut yoghurt, raspberries, banana, and maple syrup

Or savory with chilli beans, avocado, lettuce. 

Or mixed - really ripe banana and avocado; weird but my personal favorite. The options are endless. 

If you pre mix the mixture and leave to sit 4hours (or overnight) the wraps are fluffier and easier to digest. 

Buckwheat is generally recommended to be activated (pre soaked in water) so makes sense that the soaked mixture results in fluffier texture. 

BUCKWHEAT WRAPS

180ml Water

100g Buckwheat flour

Himalayan/sea salt

Mix, leave to sit. 

THEN - pre heat your fry pan on a medium heat. Add oil, and pour a ladle of mixture into pan. 

Start with your ladle in the middle of your pile and slowly in circular motion push out the mixture to the edges. Like this. Obviously I just use my ladle rather than that tool so they're a little swirly looking. 

Wait til the mixture bubbles and edges lift, then flip. 

You can make them as soft or crunchy as you like. 

_____________

Pre make and freeze or store and then just reheat before eating. 

If you want them like pita chips, you can re toast in the oven and they come out gorgeous - esp if glazed with olive oil and garlic.

You can fill like quasiedillas and put into the oven and bake. 

There are so many options!

No-cut Pumpkin Soup

I hate cutting pumpkins. This recipe eliminates that step completely ! The taste of this soup can change depending on which flavourings you choose. You can remove the curry paste and nutmeg and swap with -sauteed onions, garlic and cumin seeds -curry powder & vege or chicken stock -sweet chilli sauce A pumpkin (any kind!) Salt & Pepper 2 Tbsp sweetener (coconut sugar, brown sugar, date syrup) 1 tsp Nutmeg 1/2 tsp Cinnamon 2 tbsp Red curry paste Ceres Coconut cream Wash or wipe the pumpkin. Place the entire pumpkin into the oven whole at 180-200 degrees C. Bake until a knife slides easily into the pumpkin. Usually about 30-60 minutes depending on size. Once soft, remove the skin by gently peeling or slicing back. This step depends on the pumpkin type. Open the pumpkin and scoop out seeds. Place the pumpkin flesh inside a crock pot or stove top pot. Cover flesh with water (or stock if using) and add in flavourings. Bring to boil and let simmer for 30 mins. Or i...

Broccoli Salad - 3 ways

Broccoli is a powerhouse vegetable. There is a reason body-builders eat it. High in iron, potassium and magnesium it also contains antioxidants such as Vitamin C. This helps with overall skin health and appearance. It is rich in Vitamin K which helps with Calcium absorption and bone health. Studies have shown that while boiling or lightly steaming can reduce the amount of Vitamin C, it makes other properties more readily available or absorbed. It is easier digested cooked rather than raw. Salad 1 1 head of steamed broccoli 1/4 cup dried cranberries - beware some brands have added sugar and oil!  GoodFor is a great option. 1/2 cup almonds chopped 3 Tbsp tahini - I like this brand 2 Tbsp water 1/2 Tbsp apple cider vinegar Chop broccoli into small pieces.
