PRODUCT SPOTLIGHT

www.vegetarianexpress.co.uk

Millet provides a host of nutrients, has a sweet nutty flavour, and is considered to be one of the most digestible and non-allergenic grains available. It is one of the few grains that are alkalizing to the body. It is also amongst the most important grains in the world, sustaining one third of the world’s population.

Benefits:• Millet is alkaline and it digests easily.

• The Hunzas – who live in a remote area of the Himalayan foothills, known for their excellent health and longevity – enjoy millet as a staple in their diet.

• Millet’s 15% protein content makes a substantial addition to a meat free diet.

• Millet can act as a prebiotic, feeding microflora in your digestive tract.

• The serotonin in millet may be calming to your moods.

• Millet is a smart carbohydrate with lots of fibre and low simple sugars. Because of this it has a relatively low glycemic index and has been shown to produce lower blood sugar levels than wheat or rice.

• Magnesium in millet may help reduce the effects of migraines and heart attacks.

• Niacin (vitamin B3) in millet may help lower cholesterol.

• Millet consumption may help decrease triglycerides and C-reactive protein. Scientists in Seoul, South Korea concluded that millet may be useful in preventing cardiovascular disease.

• Millet is naturally gluten-free and non-allergenic.

• Millet may help hydrate your colon to keep you from being constipated.

RECIPE IDEAS

Serves: 6Ingredients:

• 720ml water• 240g millet• 10 chopped sun-dried tomatoes• 1 garlic clove• 60g pine nuts• 80g pitted green olives, chopped• 60g grated Parmesan cheese• 4 large caper berries, stemmed and then minced• 1 tsp dried oregano• 1 tsp dried marjoram• 2 tbsp unsalted butter• 2 tbsp olive oil

METHOD:

1. Combine the water and millet in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Cover, reduce the heat to low, and then simmer slowly for around 30 minutes until it has a thick porridge consistency. Uncover and stir well to incorporate any remaining water. Scrape the millet into a large bowl and cool for 10 minutes.

2. Meanwhile, put the sun-dried tomatoes and garlic in a small heat-proof bowl. Cover with boiling water and steep for 10 minutes.

3. Toast the pine nuts in a dry skillet set over medium-low heat for about 5 minutes, until lightly browned and fragrant. Pour them into the bowl with the millet.

4. Drain the sun-dried tomatoes and garlic and add them to the bowl with the millet. Add the olives, cheese, caper berries, oregano, and marjoram. Stir well, roughly mashing the ingredients together. Use dampened hands to form the mixture into 6 round, even sized burgers.

5. Melt the butter and the olive oil over medium heat in a large skillet, preferably non-stick. Place the burgers into the skillet and cook until crisp and golden brown, about 4 minutes. Flip them and continue cooking until set throughout, about 4 more minutes. If your skillet isn’t large enough to hold all 6 burgers at once, work in two batches, using 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1 tablespoon unsalted butter for each batch.

6. Serve with your choice of buns, salads and sauces.

RECIPE IDEAS

Described as a cross between a grape and a blueberry, the Acai (pronounced ah-sigh-ee) berry is a small, reddish-purple fruit which originates from trees found around the Amazon River basin of South America.

These berries are also quite perishable, but have significant nutritional attributes, and are best prepared into a convenient powder form.

Acai berries are low in sugar, but contain excellent amounts of iron, calcium, fibre, and vitamin A.

• The fibre found in Acai berry can aid digestion. Fibre can help prevent or relieve constipation and may help support a healthy cardiovascular system.

• Acai is naturally high in essential fatty acids having a fatty acid profile similar to olive oil. The link between essential fatty acids and heart health and a healthy nervous system is well documented.

• Acai berries contain amino acids which help promote muscle performance, energy production, endurance and strength.

• Acai berries contain as much Vitamin C as blueberries and is also a source of Vitamins A, B1, B2, B3 and E. It is also a source of calcium, magnesium, zinc and copper.

Try 1-2 teaspoons of Acai berry powder mixed with water, juice or in a smoothie.

PRODUCT SPOTLIGHT

www.vegetarianexpress.co.uk

Freekeh is high in fibre and has low glycemic index for slowly released sustained energy.

In recent years, freekeh has been providing true competition to quinoa as the ‘king of the grains’, offering a high protein alternative to brown rice, couscous, and sweet potatoes. An ancient grain native to Lebanon, Syria, Jordan and Egypt, this roasted greenwheat boasts a nutty/toasty smell and taste, and offers a seriously strong nutritional profile.

Free of chemicals, preservatives, and anything genetically modified, freekeh’s health and nutritional benefits make it worthy of being the newest super grain. Some of freekeh’s health benefits include:

• Low glycemic index – for slowly released sustained energy.• High in fibre – up to four times the amount of brown rice.• May act as a prebiotic – nutrient able to fuel the growth of healthy bacteria in the digestive tract, which is important for bowel health and immune function.• Rich source of lutein and zeaxanthin – phytonutrient carotenoids known for supporting vision and eye health.• Good source of plant based protein• Low in fat• Rich in calcium, iron, and zinc

Freekeh has a moist, chewy texture with a light nutty taste.

The word freekeh is pronounced exactly how it’s written (FREAK-keh) and means ‘to rub’ in Arabic

PRODUCT SPOTLIGHT

UMBRIAN SEMI-PEARLED & PRE-SOAKED

Farro is a grain similar to pearl barley but it’s dried in such a way that instead of being fluffy and spongy it becomes chewy and nutty, when cooked.

• It is rich in fibre & notable amounts of magnesium and the vitamins A, B, C, and E.• This versatile cereal has been pre-soaked and therefore only requires 30 minutes cooking time without any need to pre-soak the night before. • Ideal in soups, stews and salads.

WHAT IS FARRO?

Often used as a substitute for pasta or rice, farro is a grain with a nutty flavour similar to brown rice. It’s actually ancient as it was first domesticated 10,000 years ago in the Fertile Crescent, has been found in Egyptian tombs, and is believed to have sustained the Roman legions.

Today, farro grows in the central and northern Italian regions including Lazio, Umbria, and Tuscany. Historically, these were impoverished areas, and the longevity of its people is sometimes attributed to farro.

RECIPE IDEAS

Serves: 6Ingredients:

• 2 tb olive oil• 1 onion, sliced• 400g fresh spinach, blanched and coarsely chopped• bunch of fresh basil, coarsely chopped• 250g farro grain, cooked• 100g parmesan, grated• 2 eggs, beaten• 50g unsalted butter, melted• 9 sheets filo pastry, halved• 625g pumpkin, peeled, cut into 1 cm thick slices, cooked in boiling water• Salt, freshly ground black pepper

“ This recipe is a variation of a classic rice torte or pie, using farro in place of the rice. I sometimes add a layer of mozzarella to the dish within its layers. Serve with a nice tomato and basil salad.”

Paul Gayler

All products marked in bold are available to purchase through Vegetarian Express.

METHOD:

1. Heat the butter in a pan, add the onion and cook until golden.

2. Add the blanched spinach and basil, cook for 2 minutes and set aside.

3. Divide the farro equally between 2 bowls, adding the parmesan and beaten eggs between the two, mixing well. Add the spinach & basil mix to one bowl only and combine.

4. Grease a 20cm spring form cake pan with butter.

5. Brush the sheets of filo with some melted butter and use to line the bottom and sides of the cake pan, leaving a small overhang of filo. Reserve 6 half sheets of filo for the top.

6. Start forming the torte with the spinach and farro mix, followed by a layer of pumpkin.

7. Top with the second mix of farro & parmesan.

8. Cut the reserved filo pastry into strips, brush them with butter and use to decorate the top of the torte.

9. Bake for 45-50 minutes on a baking sheet until golden.

10. Turn it out of the cake tin onto the baking sheet again and bake for a few minutes longer to crisp the sides.

11. Cool slightly before serving.
