Greens and nuts are good for you! Not new, I know. I don’t pretend to be a dietician. Greens bring such a diversity of flavours and forms and nuts are quite filling and crunchy and versatile. Anyway, you probably don’t need much convincing.
Poelee of italian pine mushrooms and greens
I did not go unfortunately in the Blue Mountains or Bellanglo State Forest to pick italian pine mushrooms this year. If anyone lives that way, I would love to know if they are still in season and if the bushfires have affected the areas of growth! You can find those mushrooms at small markets or some vegetable stores like Harris Farm in season sometimes.
They are great in risotto and in vegetable stir fries with butter and garlic. Whatever you do, don’t forget the butter and the garlic! Check HERE for the recipe I posted.
The key in sauteed vegetables is to not hesitate using garlic and butter and to add the vegetables according to their cooking time. Using nuts to complement the dish adds a little complexity and crunchiness. You can also add a little chili.
Chocolate and nuts toasted muesli
This is my second muesli recipe. The first was with dry fruits and nuts (HERE), this one is chocolate and nuts (HERE).
Next week
Next week, I will post this recipe, my own brownies recipe. Yum! I made that recipe one day super quickly for some friends. A good brownie for me needs to be soft and gooey in the middle, not too sweet and quite chocolatey.
