Einkorn sourdough biscuits
https://www.farmhouseonboone.com/sourdough-biscuits-long-fermented/#wprm-recipe-container-21965
Ingredients
- 8 tablespoons cold butter, cut into chunks (113 grams)
- 2 cups all purpose flour, 280 grams
- 1 cup sourdough discard, 285 grams
- 1 tablespoon sugar, 12 grams
- 1/2 cup milk or buttermilk*, 122 grams – You can also use water
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 3/4 teaspoon salt, 4 grams
Instructions
Long-Fermented Sourdough Biscuit
- Chop up cold butter into chunks or grate with a cheese grater. Add the butter to a large bowl.
- Add flour to the butter.
- Cut butter into flour. I usually just use my hands to massage the flour and butter together until it starts to form a ball, but a pastry blender works really well, too.
- Add sourdough starter, sugar, milk or buttermilk.
- Stir until nicely incorporated.
- Place a clean tea towel or plastic wrap over bowl and allow to sit at room temperature at least 8-24 hours.
- The next day, add baking soda, baking powder, and salt to the fermented dough.
- Mix everything together well.
- Roll out dough onto a lightly floured surface and cut biscuits.
- Place onto a well-seasoned cast iron skillet or a glass baking dish.
For a little added height, you can allow the biscuits to rise again for 30 minutes to an hour in a warm place before baking. - Bake biscuits in a 400 degree oven for 14 -20 minutes.
Zucchini for Diner
Roasted Zucchini, Brussels Sprouts, and Butternut Squash with Maple Walnuts and Goat Cheese
This hearty fall-inspired dish combines the caramelized goodness of roasted zucchini, Brussels sprouts, and butternut squash, topped with maple-glazed walnuts and creamy goat cheese. A delicious combination of sweet, savory, and nutty flavors perfect for a cozy meal!
Ingredients:
For the Vegetables:
2 medium zucchini, sliced
1 lb Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
1 small butternut squash, peeled and cubed
3 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
For the Maple Walnuts:
1/2 cup walnuts, roughly chopped
2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
Pinch of salt
For the Finishing Touch:
4 oz goat cheese, crumbled
1 tablespoon balsamic glaze (optional, for drizzling)
Instructions:
Step 1: Roast the Vegetables
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Toss the zucchini, Brussels sprouts, and butternut squash with olive oil, salt, pepper, thyme, and garlic powder. Spread them evenly on a large baking sheet.
Roast for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the vegetables are tender and caramelized.
Step 2: Prepare the Maple Walnuts
In a small skillet, heat the walnuts over medium heat for about 1-2 minutes until lightly toasted.
Drizzle the maple syrup over the walnuts, sprinkle with cinnamon and a pinch of salt, and stir to coat evenly. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the syrup thickens and sticks to the walnuts. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
Step 3: Assemble the Dish
Once the vegetables are done roasting, transfer them to a serving dish.
Sprinkle the roasted vegetables with crumbled goat cheese and the maple-glazed walnuts.
For an extra touch, drizzle with balsamic glaze for a sweet and tangy finish (optional).
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 30 minutes

This deliciously roasted vegetable medley with creamy goat cheese and sweet maple walnuts will make a fantastic side or even a light main dish, full of fall flavors!
Roasted Vegetables
● 1 (15-ounce) can chickpeasTop of Form
● 1 pound medium carrots
● 1 large red onion
● 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
● 2 tablespoons harissa plus more for serving
● 2 teaspoons honey
● 1 teaspoon kosher salt plus more
● 1 (8-ounce) block feta cheese
● ½ plain full-fat Greek yogurt
● Zest and juice from ½ lemon
● Handful of fresh soft herbs, such as parsley, dill,
cilantro, basil or a mix
● Handful of toasted nuts, or ¼ cup toasted seeds
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
2. Dump the chickpeas into a colander. Drain them but do not
rinse.
3. Arrange a few layers of paper towels on a rimmed baking
sheet, then pour the drained chickpeas on top. Use another paper towel to pat
them dry. Discard all the paper towels, then shake the chickpeas into an even
layer. There will be some chickpea skins on the baking sheet now — no need to
pick them out. They’ll roast up into crispy little bits and be delicious.
4. Cut the carrots on the diagonal into ½-inch-thick slabs
and thinly slice the onion. Add the carrots, onion, olive oil, harissa, honey
and 1 teaspoon salt to the chickpeas and toss to coat well.
5. Roast until the carrots are golden on the outside but
fork-tender, 25 to 30 minutes.
6. Meanwhile, in a blender or food processer, combine the
feta and yogurt. Zest and juice the lemon into the blender and add a pinch of
salt. Blend on high speed until smooth, scraping down the sides as needed, 30
to 45 seconds. If it’s too thick and your blender is having a hard time mixing,
add a bit of water, a splash at a time, until the desired consistency is
achieved.

7. Chop the herbs and nuts.
8. Remove the roasted veggies from the oven and transfer to
a cooling rack. Taste the veggies and add more salt as needed. Stir in the
herbs.
9. Spread a nice spoonful of whipped feta over the bottom of
a bowl or plate and top it with a pile of roasted veggies and a sprinkle of
nuts. Add another dollop of harissa on top if you love spice.
Shortcut: Skip the whipped feta and just crumble
some feta on top. Find pre-chopped butternut squash or sweet potatoes at the
grocery store and use them instead of carrots.
Pesto alternative: Omit the harissa and honey,
and instead toss a big spoonful of store-bought pesto into the veggies after
they have roasted. Serve with burrata instead of whipped feta.

Pear Butter
Ingredients
- 2 ½ pounds ripe pears peeled, cored and cut into pieces
- ⅓ cup water
- ½ vanilla bean split lengthwise and scraped to release seeds
- 1-2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons orange juice freshly squeezed
- 1-2 strips of orange peel
- pinch of salt
Instructions
- Combine all of the ingredients in a slow cooker.
- Cover and cook on the high setting for about 3 -4 hours (Total time will vary based on ripeness of pear).
- Stir occasionally.
- When the pears have softened, remove the vanilla bean and the orange zest.
- With a handheld immersion blender, process the pears until smooth. Alternatively, the cooked pears can be transferred to a food processor, pureed and transferred back to the slow cooker.
- Set the slow cooker on low and cook for an additional 6-8 hours. The total time will depend on the total moisture of the fruit. The pear butter is done when there is no liquid that seeps out when a teaspoon of the butter is placed on a dish.
- Ladle the pear butter into sterile canning jars. Always leave about ¼ inch of head space. Try to remove as many air bubbles as possible.
- Seal with sterile lids and rings.
- Process in a boiling water bath for 15 minutes.
- Remove jars from the pot.
- Allow to cool to room temperature.
- Check the lids by pressing on the center of each seal. If it springs back, the jars need to be refrigerated. Otherwise, they can be stored in a cool dark place for about 1 year.
- Once the jar is opened, it can be stored for about 3 weeks in the refrigerator.

WW Soup
Vegan Potato Soup Recipe
28/08/2024 by engrsalman.458
Ingredients
- 1 leek diced (or 1 yellow onion)
- 1 large carrot peeled + diced
- 1 celery stak chopped
- 1 lb gold potatoes diced
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 2 sprigs rosemary
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 2 Tbsp nutritional yeast
- 3 tsp onion powder
- sea salt to taste (I used 1.5 tsp)
- 1 pinch red pepper flakes
- 1/2 lb frozen green peas
- 4-5 cups water
- 1/4 cup raw cashews optional
- Fresh chives or parsley for garnish
- Lemon wedges or serving
Instructions
- Place the frozen peas in a bowl of room temperature water to thaw out.1/2 lb frozen green peas
Prepare the Leeks
- Cut the very dark green tops off of the leek and reserve for later. (You can definitely use them here just know it will affect the color of the soup and make it a darker but delicious). Slice the white and pale green part of the leek in half lengthwise then slice it up thinly. Transfer to a medium bowl and cover with cold water. Give it a good stir and allow to sit for a few minutes for any sand and dirt to sink to the bottom of the bowl. Using a slotted spoon or your hands, scoop up the clean leeks floating on the top and transfer to a lint free tea towel to drain any excess water. (Alternatively you can just add them directly to the soup pot and cook a little longer until all moisture has evaporated.)1 leek
Make the Soup
- Preheat a heavy bottom soup pot over medium heat. Add a very light drizzle of olive oil (omit for WFPB diets) and transfer the clean leeks to the pot. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt and give it a good stir. Sautee until wilted and the leeks start to get some color, about 10 minutes or so.1 leek
- Stir in the diced carrot and celery and sautée a few more minutes until they begin to soften. Push the veggies to the side and drizzle a drop of oil in the center. Add the minced garlic and let it sizzle until fragrant. Give everything a good stir.1 large carrot,1 celery stak,4 cloves garlic
- Meanwhile scrub and rinse the potatoes and dice them into small cubes. Rinse well in a bowl of cold water, drain and add to the soup pot.1 lb gold potatoes
- Stir in the onion powder, paprika and rosemary. Pour in the water and bring to a boil. Stir in the nutritional yeast and the salt. Cook for 15 to 20 minutes or until the potatoes have softened but still a little al dente.2 sprigs rosemary,1 tsp smoked paprika,2 Tbsp nutritional yeast,3 tsp onion powder,4-5 cups water,sea salt to taste
- Transfer about 1/3 of the soup to a blender together with the cashews. Process on the hot liquid setting until silky smooth. Stir back into the soup pot.1/4 cup raw cashews
- Drain the peas and add them into the soup. Simmer a few minutes until heated through. Adjust seasonings to taste and serve garnished with fresh onion chives, red chili flakes. (If desired you could brighten it up with a squeeze of lemon or go more earthy with a pinch of smoked sea salt and maybe some crumbled tempeh bacon bits).1 pinch red pepper flakes,1/2 lb frozen green peas,Fresh chives or parsley for garnish,Lemon wedges or serving
- For compliance make sure to omit any oil and replace with water or veggie stock.
Notes
- Fresh Rosemary vs Dried – If you must use dried rosemary make sure it’s a fragrant batch. Use 1 teaspoon of dried in lieu of 1 sprig fresh rosemary. Taste, add more, you’ll need to experiment here.
- Soup Color – If you prefer a golden color soup simply puree some of the carrot with the potatoes and broth. For a lighter hue try not to puree any carrot pieces and only cook the white and pale green parts of the leek. For a darker olive green color use all the dark green tops of leeks and puree some of the peas with the potatoes and carrot as well.
