Hey y’all! I’m still around - I just post on instagram mainly now. I would like to get back to proper blogging eventually as my food/recipes are 10x better than all those years ago when I started this blog!
These photos come from my insta - if you want to follow me, my account name is freyarhianne :) The recipes above include leek, mushroom and truffle oil risotto, pear, roast squash, shiitake and toasted hazelnut kale salad, butternut mac n cheese with spinach, cashew tofu mushroom stroganoff with brown rice spaghetti and kale… and more! :D
All vegan, all gluten free (cos coeliac, that’s a new fun development) and all delicious.
This gluten-free black spread is nutty, slightly sweet from a dash of honey, and simple irresistible on toast. It’s also so quick and easy to make in a food processor!
INGREDIENTS:
1 cup black sesame seeds
¼ tsp kosher salt
3 tbsp avocado oil plus more as needed
2 tbsp honey
INSTRUCTIONS:
Put a pan on medium heat and lightly toast the sesame seeds for 1-2 minutes. They should darken in colour and get a light, nutty flavour.
Add the sesame seeds and salt to a food processor. Process for about 2-3 minutes or until the seeds have formed a fine powder.
Continue to run the food processor and slowly drizzle in the avocado oil. Run the food processor for another 3-5 minutes (a long time!) or until the seeds form a thick, runny, deep black paste.
Once you reach your desired consistency, stir in the honey.
Put in a jar or air-tight container and store in a cool, dry place. Use as needed!
Pat salmon filet dry using paper towels and season with kosher salt. Whisk together honey and sesame oil in a small bowl, then liberally brush mixture over salmon. Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds and bake for 18-20 minutes or until the center of the salmon filet reaches 130F degrees. Let rest for at least of 5 minutes.
While salmon cooks, add sliced fennel, clementine segments, shallots, and radishes to a large bowl. Toss to combine and season with rice wine vinegar and salt.
Once salmon has rested, place onto a serving platter and top with fennel salad. Drizzle Fly by Jing Zhong Sauce to taste and garnish with fennel fronds.
