Nutmeg - What Do I Do With It?
"sandy" wrote in message om... I was recently given a half pound of gourmet nutmeg. What the heck do I do with it. It does not smell like it would be good on a hard boiled egg. The only thing that rings a bell is egg nog : ) nutmeg works well with cheese and anything creamy, either sweet or savoury. I use it in quiche Lorraine, alongside cayenne pepper for an interesting catch to the flavour. It's also yummy sprinkled over spinach that has been only sightly cooked (still bright green) in butter, with shredded ham or bacon. If I'm having trouble sleeping, I'll make a hot drink by blending hot water and cream until it's similar to the consistency of hot milk, sprinkling in nutmeg and a little vanilla, as well as a small amount of splenda to sweeten (or you could use vanilla SF Davinci syrup if you have it). The smell alone is meant to have relaxing properties |

I'd bet, as far as THIS forum goes, the cornstarch could be eliminated since most meatballs don't contain them, and obviously the sugar could be Splenda or your AS of choice. Seems to me the Swedish Meatball variant has a cream-based sauce too, which fould fit this WOE well. -- Jean B., 12 miles west of Boston, Massachusetts, USA |

"DJ Delorie" wrote in message ... I haven't figured out a pancake recipe that takes whey protein yet. This is from "500 Low-Carb Recipes" by Dana Carpender, published by Fair Winds. 2 cups almond meal 1/2 cup oat bran 1/2 cup vanilla-flavored whey protein powder 1/2 cup rice protein powder 2 tablespoons wheat bran 2 tablespoons raw wheat germ 2 tablespoons vital wheat gluten 2 1/2 tablespoons baking powder 1 1/2 teaspoons salt 1. Assemble all the ingredients in a food processor with the S blade in place. Run the processor for a minute or so, stopping once or twice to shake it so everything will be well combined. 2. Store the mix in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Yield: Makes about 4 servings of 1 cup, each with 33 grams of carbohydrates and 3 grams of fiber, for a total of 30 grams of usable carbs and 36 grams of protein. HTH Angela Look at those carbs! That is one reason why I have not bought the book. Some of the recipes looked good and were pretty low-carb, but lots of them seemed very high to me. -- Jean B., 12 miles west of Boston, Massachusetts, USA |

What's with all the other stuff though? I was thinking of something like, an egg, 1/2c whey powder, splenda, cream, spices. The recipe you give has salt in it too, but they don't call it "salt pancakes" ;-) This is just the recipe for the mix. But thanks anyway. Er, and that recipe has no fluids in it. What does it make, besides a mess when you try to cook it? From the same book: Pancakes from Almond Mix 2 cups almond Pancake and Waffle Mix 2 eggs 1 cup water 1 tablespoon canola, peanut, or sunflower oil 1. Spray a skillet or griddle with nonstick cooking spray and set it over medium heat. 2. Mix all the ingredients with a whisk and drop the batter by the tablespoonful into the griddle or skillet. Cook as you would regular pancakes turning to brown lightly on each side. Stir the patter between batches to prevent it from settling. Yield: About 16 pancakes each with 4 grams of carbohydrates, a trace of fiber and 6 grams of protein. * For a little added flavor, melt a little butter on the griddle or skillet before you cook the batter. Angela Okay, that looks better carbwise.... -- Jean B., 12 miles west of Boston, Massachusetts, USA |

REC: early Christmas project, was Nutmeg - What Do I Do With It?

sandy wrote: I was recently given a half pound of gourmet nutmeg. That's a ton of the stuff. At home we go through about an ounce per year. Maybe you should give away 3/4th of it then go crazy putting it on anything that doesn't move. I usually post this a bit later in the year, but here's a recipe for non-edible cookie Christmas ornaments. I'm sure you could increase the nutmeg somewhat and decrease the cinnamon a little to help use up some of that nutmeg. It's a great recipe project for moms with kids, and they smell wonderful. (and great for folks who want to bake without being tempted to eat the cookies.) Cinnamon Dough Christmas Ornaments 1 cup applesauce 1 cup cinnamon 2 Tbsp ground cloves 2 Tbsp ground nutmeg 2 Tbsp white (Elmer's) glue wax paper rolling pin cookie cutters or plastic knife for freehand cutting a soda straw to make hanging holes white puffy paint (craftstore fabric paint) for fake icing Blend glue & applesauce, mix well. Mix in spices - makes a moist but stiff dough Take the dough out of the bowl and knead to mix very well, by hand on wax paper. Use wax paper beneath dough, and another sheet on top of dough to roll out. (Otherwise, the scent WILL go into the counter and rolling pin) Take a portion of dough and roll out to about 1/4 inch thick. Cut out whatever shapes you like, with cookie cutters or freehand. Poke a hole for stringing with a soda straw. Place on cookie sheet close together (they don't spread) and bake at low temp (250F) for about 2 hours. When the cookies don't stick to the cookie sheet, they're done. Cool and decorate with white puffy paint "icing" -- jamie ) "There's a seeker born every minute." |

I haven't figured out a pancake recipe that takes whey protein yet. Debbie Cusick's pancake recipe works fine with whey or egg protein powder. (Personally, I prefer egg in general, though). My husband and I love these pancakes. Give the batter a quick stir before pouring each pancake, because the flax meal tends to sink to the bottom. As to whey powders, some I tried tasted good, and others had an aftertaste like spoiled milk. Designer Whey is one that doesn't taste bad. Debbie's Pancakes 1/4 cup 0-carb egg protein powder, vanilla or plain 2 tbsp flax meal 1 egg 2 tsp baking powder 1/4 cup heavy cream (or coconut milk) 1/2 cup water (approximate) 1/2 tsp vanilla pinch of sweetener Mix ingredients and cook in melted butter on a griddle just as you would regular pancakes. Entire recipe has 6g carbs and 1g fiber. -- jamie ) "There's a seeker born every minute." |
