Blushing Beets Salad

Tasty living salad,  so colorful it was a feast before we even started to eat it and it tasted as good as it looked 
Grated raw beets, red cabbage, carrot, some white cabbage and raisins but add your faves and a dressing - I used sesame oil and cider vinegar for this one and sprinkle seeds over like sunflower and toasted sesame seeds are great with it too. 
I recommend a Mandoline vegetable shredder to quickly and evenly slice the veggies and get a plastic one with a V-Blade rather than an expensive stainless steel one and please use the handguard if you don't want some of your fingers added to the dish - then it wouldn't be truly vegetarian !

  Need to take a plate ? But what to take .... Looking for a quick and easy snack to take for  Shared festive lunches  or to add to a  Barbeque meal ?   Crostini is  the perfect solution.  A plate of freshly topped crisp Crostini  colorful and mouthwatering will have people heading back for more and it doesn't need to cost a fortune to prepare either.  Once you prepare your Crostini they can sit there until you need them and them top them fast and easy with whatever you have in the pantry.   How to ?   Turn oven on to 190 Degrees on Bake while you prepare your slices.  Slice one or two French Sticks or Loaves thinly - how thin depends on how crisp you like your Crostini or how fast they will cook.  Make a few loaves at a time so you always some on hand.  Brush liberally with Olive Oil.  Rub bread with fresh garlic and add to the Olive Oil  *T ip: use oil that already has garli...

Silverbeet 'Cheesy' Chips

Image
Desperate for some Kale Chips and a garden full of Silver Beet had us experimenting again Man, we could almost taste those chips ! Topping to coat the Silver Beet Chips - a mix of Tamari, Tahini, Water, nutritional yeast, sunflower seeds and sesame seeds You can add salt like Himalayan if you like but taste it first as the Tamari and Nutritional yeast gives it enough salty taste. Coating the Beet with the dressing before dehydrating  Spreading out the Beet in the Dehydrator Trays - I am using a circular one here but a square larger one would work best if you do a lot of dehydrating ( and love Kale/Silver Beet chips!)  Get Dehydrators Finished chips ready and waiting to be demolished in double quick time

Vegetarian Cheese Sausages

Image
Vegetarian Cheese Sausages  Made these last week and they were yummy.  We also discovered they are very adaptable - try substituting  and adding different ingredients -  mushrooms, tomato and onion , garlic, make curried "sausages"   add horseradish or sage and our fave so far is the addition of fennel  but pineapple or apple and sage are yum too.     Here' s the recipe:   150 grams breadcrumbs -  use a lighter bread as heavily grained bread will break up and crumble too much - I used wholemeal for these 150 grams hard cheese - grated  1 onion, finely chopped  1 Tablespoon of herbs - thyme, or sage or your own choice  1 teaspoon mustard 1 Egg 4 Tablespoons milk  Beat egg and milk  Add other ingredients  Form into rissoles or sausage shapes Roll in flour  Fry in olive oil until golden  Experiment in using different coatings - scrunched up cornfla...
