Simple Breakfast Pancakes

Ingredients:

(Serves 1-2)

100g plain flour

100g wholemeal flour

200ml water

2 tsp icing sugar

In a jug measure the flour and mix in the icing sugar and water. Using a whisk or a fork form a thick smooth batter. On the stove heat up your ceramic frying pan (found on amazon) to medium heat. Then pour in some of the batter and allow to cook. No oil needed. Once it appears to be cooked and the edges of the pancake start to rise using a spatula flip the pancake and fry the other side. Transfer to a plate and repeat for the remaining batter. Simple and delicious served with chopped banana and cinnamon :)

Secondly the nice cream topping: blend the frozen bananas, pour half into a bowl, add the frozen raspberries pour into a bowl, allow to thaw a bit for easy blending. 

Thirdly the apple topping: in your food processor pulse the apple and cinnamon to form tiny pieces. With scissors slice up the sundried banana into small pieces and mix in.

(Makes 12 burgers)

2 large sweet potatoes

1 can haricot beans (I just rinsed baked beans)

4 small shallots

1 tsp mixed herbs

1 handful fresh parsley

Peel and dice the sweet potato into small chunks. Bring a wide based pan of water to the boil and add in the sweet potato. While that's cooking, grate the carrots into a large bowl, add the beans and finely chopped shallots. Once the sweet potato is soft, drain the juices and mash. Add the mash to your large bowl and mix together. Add the mixed herbs, cumin and parsley. Mix and squish together. For best results leave in the fridge overnight to marinade. Then preheat your oven to 200 degrees celcius. Mould the mixture into 12 patties and place on a tray covered with baking paper. Cook for 30 mins until golden and firm. Then take to a BBQ or just serve with salad. Super!

Piel de Sapo Melon Monomeal

Piel de Sapo Melon Monomeal 

Ingredients:

(Serves 1-2) 

1 large piel de sapo melon 

Choosing the best melon can make your meal extra enjoyable. Look for a melon with a large bottom circle, this is where the flower was attached. The larger the circle the longer it has been on the stem and the sweeter it will be. You want to wait until the melon is really ripe as that's when the flesh will scoop out soft and easily. It will be super juicy and satisfying. To tell whether it is ripe, you want to look for soft ends, a richer coloured skin and a sweet scent.

Donut Peaches!

Donut Peaches!

Ingredients:

(Serves 1)

6 donut peaches

Make sure they are perfectly ripe before eating. Peaches are climacteric fruit which means they have a starch reserve that turns into sugars as they ripen. They will be more juicy, sweet and much tastier.  You want them to be soft to the touch, the more delicate the better. Literally just grab and go, natures perfect fast food :)

Summer Time Raw Corn on the Cob

Ingredients:

(Serves 1) 

1-2 fresh corn cobs 

2 handfuls fresh spinach

4 sprigs parsley 

3 nasturtium flowers (optional and edible) 

The fresher the corn the tastier it is as it is less starchy. Just shred the spinach and tear up the parsley, pick some nasturtium flowers if you have some. Mine are homegrown, they add a nice spice to the dish. Then just add to a large bowl and serve. If the corn is too starchy raw then lightly steam. Super yummy.
