21.01.2022 B L E N D E R B E E T R O O T B R O W N I E Recipe c/- In Praise of Veg, Alice Zaslavsky Serves: 6-8... Alice likes to keep this brownie quite gooey in the middle (like a lava cake), but if you’d prefer to slice and be more sensible, bake it for a little longer. Ingredients 1 orange (preferably organic) 1 beetroot (beet) of a similar size to the orange, plus 1 small finely sliced beetroot 200 g (7 oz) butter, melted 200 g (7 oz) dark chocolate, melted, plus 50 g (1 oz) extra, chopped for the top 3 eggs 1 cup (220 g) caster (superfine) sugar 1 teaspoon natural vanilla extract or paste 2 cups (200 g) almond meal cup (75 g) plain (all-purpose) gluten-free flour cup (55 g) unsweetened cocoa powder cup (70 g) walnuts 1 teaspoon baking powder teaspoon salt flakes yoghurt, to serve Method Boil the whole orange and beetroot together in a saucepan, topping up with boiling water regularly to keep them covered. Cook for about 1 hour, until both are soft, and you can put a skewer through them. Line a 20 cm x 30 cm (8 inch x 12 inch) brownie tin or skillet with baking paper. (I line all the way up the sides if I’m using a brownie tin and plan to turn the whole thing out, but for the skillet version, simply lining the base of the pan will do.) When the beetroot is cool enough to handle (but still warm), use some paper towel or a teaspoon to create some friction and help slip the skin off. Preheat the oven to 180C (350F). Pop the warm beet in a blender or food processor, along with the orange, butter and the 200 g (7 oz) chocolate. Blitz to combine, keeping the machine whirring until a smooth purée forms. Add the eggs, sugar and vanilla and blitz until incorporated. In a bowl, mix together the almond meal, flour, cocoa, walnuts and baking powder, then add these to your blitz-machine and give it a few pulses, until the lumps of flour have mostly incorporated but not too much, lest you bake a brick! Pour the batter into the brownie tin or skillet, then dot with the extra chocolate and beetroot slices and sprinkle with salt flakes. Bake for 4045 minutes, until the brownie is fudgey and still moist. Don’t bother doing the skewer test it’ll lead you astray. Allow to cool slightly before digging in. Serve warm with yoghurt as a decadent pudding, or cut into small slices for lunchboxes and mid-afternoon snacking. Store in an airtight container in the fridge, where it’ll happily keep for at least 1 week (but who are we kidding here?). Tip I use a mandoline to thinly slice the beetroot for garnishing, but you can also peel it into strips using a vegetable peeler. Shortcut Before baking, scoop out cup (80 ml) of the batter for zapping in a microwave-proof mug to make a mug cake. It’s not as oozy, but if you’re desperate and can’t wait, the option is there for you. #manlyfreshfood #boxdivvy #farmfreshproduce #AliceZaslavsky #brownielovers #supportaussiefarmers #lockdownbaking #inpraiseofveg

20.01.2022 L O C A L H O N E Y Local bees make local honey, which means the pollen they collect and bring back to the hive is all sourced from local plants. Since many seasonal allergies are caused by these same plants, eating honey that contains that pollen can possibly combat those allergies. While no formal studies have been conducted on the effects of local honey on allergies, the idea behind trace-exposure to allergens in order to desensitise us to food allergies is one that’s ga...ining steam. In addition to potentially fighting allergies, one of the great benefits of local honey is that it’s unprocessed and pure. The purer the honey, the stronger its medicinal benefits, like potential anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial properties. Andrew Wilson runs Sydney Bee Rescue in Ku-ring-gai National Park. All of his hives in St Ives are from colonies of bees rescued from roof cavities, walls, floors and backyard trees. The bees forage on a variety of local flowers from banksia and Eucalypts to Blue Gums and as a result, the honey changes with the season. It is bottled raw and unpasteurised. His honey is available through Box Divvy in 2 sizes: 320g glass jar priced at $7.95 and a 500g glass jar for $9.95.

20.01.2022 P I C K L E D O N I O N S By pickling onions, they become a fermented food, which contains good probiotics and digestive enzymes to help with gut health by adding in beneficial gut bacteria and potentially boosting your immune system! These easy picked onions can be enjoyed as a condiment on any meal but are great sprinkled on poached eggs and sourdough.... 3 large red onions, sliced into cm rings 1 teaspoon sugar, rapadura works well 1 teaspoon salt 3/4 cup apple cider or rice wine vinegar 1/2 teaspoon ground pepper 4 sprigs of thyme or rosemary (optional) 1/2 teaspoon red chilli flakes (optional) Place onion in a small bowl. Pour boiling water over the onion until fully covered. Drain after 2 minutes. Place the sugar, salt, vinegar, peppercorns, thyme and chilli in a jar and mix well. Add the onion to the jar pressing down the rings into the liquid and tightly put the lid on. Place the jar in the fridge. Ready to eat in an hour and will keep for 1-2 months in the fridge. Our red onions are currently sourced from South Australia and are priced at $2.50 per kilo (compared to $3.00 at Coles and $5.99 at Harris Farm). #manlyfreshfood #boxdivvy #knowwhereyourfoodcomesfrom #guthealthforlife #fermentedfoods #probiotics #supportaussiefarmers
