It is my observation that my dear son, Lewis, has developed an unhealthy liking for junk food and too much meat. So, the other morning, when he and his lovely girlfriend got up and cooked chicken schnitzel and chips for breakfast, I new it was time I said and did something.
That night I cooked a satay marinated tofu with stirfry veggies and rice and insisted that they eat it. They did, and they loved it. Last night it was again tofu and veggies but in a coconut curry sauce. Another hit with the kids!
But yesterday I also spent some time making a chocolate toasted muesli (vegan, of course) that is to die for. So I just had to pass on my 'easy as' recipe, 'cos I know you all have some kids and partners that will love this...Ingredients:
800g organic raw muesli (with coconut)
125ml water
125g soft dark brown sugar
100g 70% cocoa cooking chocolate
50ml pure olive oil (not virgin)
3 tblspn golden syrup (or maple)
1/2 tspn cinnamon
sea salt
Pre-heat the oven to about 180 C
In a small saucepan add the water and sugar and heat until the sugar has melted. Add the oil and chopped chocolate and mix until it is a smooth paste.
Add this mixture to the muesli in a big bowl and mix it well until the muesli is totally covered in chocolate.
Now spread the mixture into a large non-stick baking dish and bake it for about 40 minutes, taking it out and stirring it well every 10 minutes.
I am about to have mine served with vanilla soy yoghurt and raspberries sautéed with soft brown sugar. Oh my!
