Recipe Description

Almond Bread is a moist, flavorful loaf made with almond flour, giving it a rich nutty flavor and a slightly denser texture compared to traditional bread. This bread is a perfect option for those looking for a gluten-free or low-carb alternative. It’s great as a breakfast bread, snack, or even for making sandwiches!

Ingredients

  • 2 cups almond flour
  • 1/4 cup ground flaxseed
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil (melted)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup slivered almonds (optional, for topping)

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a loaf pan with butter or oil, or line it with parchment paper for easy removal of the bread.

Step 2: Mix the Dry Ingredients

  • In a large bowl, combine the almond flour, ground flaxseed, baking soda, and salt. Stir to mix the dry ingredients evenly.

Step 3: Combine the Wet Ingredients

  • In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, honey (or maple syrup), melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract until well combined.

Step 4: Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients

  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
  • The batter should be thick and slightly sticky. If you like, fold in slivered almonds for extra crunch and flavor.

Step 5: Bake the Bread

  • Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
  • Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Step 6: Cool and Slice

  • Let the bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Slice and enjoy!

Curried rice & egg salad

Heat the oil in a large pan and cook the onion for 8-10 mins until soft and just turning golden. Boil the kettle. Stir the curry paste, ground turmeric, rice and raisins into the onions. Crumble over the stock cube and pour over enough boiled water from the kettle to cover the rice by ½cm (about 1 litre). Season with some salt. Bring to a gentle simmer, then cover the pan, reduce the heat to its lowest setting and cook for 2 mins more. Without taking off the lid, remove from the heat and leave to steam for 15 mins. This will give you perfect, fluffy rice.

Meanwhile, bring another pan of water to the boil and cook the eggs for 7 mins. Plunge into a bowl of cold water to stop them cooking and once cool, drain and halve.

Tip the rice into a container and chill for at least 1 hr, or up to two days. When you’re ready to serve, scatter over the coriander and almonds, and top with the grated carrot, cucumber slices and eggs.

Sieve all the flour and baking powder into a bowl then rub in the butter until your mixture resembles crumbs. Make a well in the middle and pour in the double cream — knead to make a soft dough. Cover with cling wrap and chill for 30 mins.

Apple, rhubarb & custard tart

Heat oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5. Roll out the pastry to the thickness of £1 coin and use it to line a 23cm tart tin. Cut a round of baking paper bigger than the tin and place in the tin with baking beans on top. Bake blind for 15 mins, then remove the beans and bake for a further 10-15 mins until lightly golden. Remove the tart from the oven and turn the oven down to 160C/140C fan/gas 3. While the tart is in the oven, prepare the filling. Gently heat the rhubarb, apple, caster sugar and orange juice in a small pan for 10 mins until fruit is soft, but still holding its shape. Once cooked, remove from the heat and leave to cool slightly while you make the custard. Heat the cream, milk and vanilla pod in a small pan and bring to the boil. Whisk the eggs and sugar in a separate bowl. When the cream mix has reached boiling point, pour this over the eggs while still whisking, then pour the mix through a sieve into a clean bowl or jug and add the orange zest. Once the tart case is cooked, scatter the fruit over the bottom of the case and pour the custard on top. Place the tart in the oven and cook for 30-35 mins until the custard is just set. Remove from the oven and leave to cool completely before cutting into slices.

Slow-roast Persian lamb with pomegranate salad

Heat oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 3. In a small bowl, mix the molasses with the cumin, lemon juice, olive oil and garlic. Scatter the onion over a casserole dish or a deep roasting tin. Place the lamb on top of the onions. Pour the glaze over the lamb. Rinse the bowl out with about 200ml water, then pour it around – not over – the lamb. Cover the dish with a lid or the tin with a large piece of foil. Roast the lamb, undisturbed, for 3 hrs, then remove the lid or foil and continue to roast for 30 mins to give the lamb colour. When the lamb has had its time, pour off the juices, remove as much fat as possible, then pour the juices back over the lamb. Just before serving, gently toss all the salad ingredients together. Serve the lamb with its sauce, the salad and some warmed flatbreads.
