]]> Ethiopia is a rising star of the international food scene. A trending sight in many cities is the opening of Ethiopian restaurants, as more and more diners come to love and appreciate the uniqueness and wide variety of flavors that this cuisine offers.

If there is one word that you must know before trying Ethiopian food, it’s injera.

Any visitor to Ethiopia or diner at an Ethiopian restaurant will undoubtedly come into contact with this special bread, which is the centerpiece of any Ethiopian meal. What makes it so special, and why is it such a central piece of this country’s gastronomy?

https://www.instagram.com/p/B8MUm_EHZ6R/

Teff is a grain that grows in the Ethiopian Highlands and it’s the base for this delicious bread. The small grains of this plant, which are high in fiber and many minerals while being gluten-free, are mashed into flour and then added to water.

Fermentation is then triggered, and the dough sits for 2-3 days to create a slightly sour taste. Then, the injera is ready to be prepared.

Spread over a flat, circular griddle, injera is cooked and made into a bread with a spongy, absorbent texture.

Ethiopian stews, known as wat, are the most common thing to be eaten with injera. Made with lentils, chicken, or beef, they are spread on top of the bread and then eaten together with diners’ hands. 

It’s a unique way to enjoy a meal and something that makes Ethiopian food truly unique.

This gluten-free version is perfect for dinner parties, or to keep in the fridge for days when you can’t be bothered to cook. Let’s gets started.

  2. Combine the sweet potato onion mixture with eggs, gluten-free flour like rice flour, and pepper.
  3. Take a bit of the mixture and roll them into a bowl and smash them into patties.
  4. Fry in an oil that has a high smoke point, or bake them in the oven until crispy.
  5. Serve with sour cream or applesauce on the side. Enjoy!

But if you make them at home, you can load them with veggies and oven bake them instead of frying! They make for amazing appetizers or even a main course if you make enough, so try them tonight!

Filling

For the filling, you can use either cooked or raw vegetables. Some good options are carrots, cabbage, sweet potatoes, or anything you have in your pantry!

Whether you cook it or not, make sure to toss it in some soy sauce or tamari before you put it into the egg rolls.

Recipe

  1. Fill up a cup of water so you can constantly replenish your plate.
  2. Pour a little water onto a plate and take a rice paper sheet and wet it so you can manipulate it.
  3. Take the filling and put a little in the middle towards the top of the sheet.
  4. Fold it like a burrito, the sides in first, and then the top over the filling and roll it up as tightly as you can.
  5. Place the rolls on a baking sheet and once you’re done, drizzle over some oil and bake it at 350 F until they turn golden brown.

Regardless of the season, I always keep cookies on hand. I’ve teamed up with @wholefoods to show some of my favorite picks for the New Year and this recipe is one of my all-time go-to options. I particularly like having these almond butter cookies around –they're full of fats from almond butter, and they're made with monkfruit sweetener, which can replace added sugars. But they totally fill the 3-4pm void when I need a cookie! Get the recipe for these delicious babes below! #Sponsored @wholefoods #HowIJanuary #MakesMeWhole RECIPE: Almond Butter Cookies: – 1 1/4 cups almond butter – 1/2 cup monkfruit sweetener – 1 large egg – flaky sea salt, for topping 1. Preheat oven to 350°F and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Set aside. 2. In a large bowl, mix together the almond butter, sweetener, and egg until thoroughly combined. 3. Using a cookie scoop, or by hand, portion the cookie dough into 1 ½ tablespoon balls and place them on your cookie sheet leaving about an inch between each cookie. Using a fork, gently press the cookies cookies down making an imprint. 4. Bake the cookies for 12-14 minutes. Let cool completely before eating. 🍪🍪🍪

The post Gluten-Free Sweet Potato Latkes are Delicious and Healthy! appeared first on falafelandcaviar.com.

]]> Latkes are a Jewish delicacy eaten around the holiday of Hannukah. They are normally made with shredded potatoes and are made into a fritter or a pancake. However, the base is so delicious and can be transformed into whatever you want it to be, it’s perfect to eat all year round. This gluten-free version is perfect for dinner parties, or to keep in the fridge for days when you can’t be bothered to cook. Let’s gets started.

Ingredients

The main ingredient for this recipe is sweet potato. Although you could use a regular potato, this boosts the health benefits of the pancake, and also gives it a unique flavor profile.

Instructions

  1. Grate the sweet potatoes and some onions and put them in a towel or cheesecloth. Ring out the excess water from them and then place them in a bowl.
  2. Combine the sweet potato onion mixture with eggs, gluten-free flour like rice flour, and pepper.
  3. Take a bit of the mixture and roll them into a bowl and smash them into patties.
  4. Fry in an oil that has a high smoke point, or bake them in the oven until crispy.
  5. Serve with sour cream or applesauce on the side. Enjoy!

]]> Egg rolls are such a yummy treat to get for a takeaway, but they’re not usually the healthiest things.

But if you make them at home, you can load them with veggies and oven bake them instead of frying! They make for amazing appetizers or even a main course if you make enough, so try them tonight!

Filling

For the filling, you can use either cooked or raw vegetables. Some good options are carrots, cabbage, sweet potatoes, or anything you have in your pantry!

Whether you cook it or not, make sure to toss it in some soy sauce or tamari before you put it into the egg rolls.

Recipe

  1. Fill up a cup of water so you can constantly replenish your plate.
  2. Pour a little water onto a plate and take a rice paper sheet and wet it so you can manipulate it.
  3. Take the filling and put a little in the middle towards the top of the sheet.
  4. Fold it like a burrito, the sides in first, and then the top over the filling and roll it up as tightly as you can.
  5. Place the rolls on a baking sheet and once you’re done, drizzle over some oil and bake it at 350 F until they turn golden brown.

Regardless of the season, I always keep cookies on hand. I’ve teamed up with @wholefoods to show some of my favorite picks for the New Year and this recipe is one of my all-time go-to options. I particularly like having these almond butter cookies around –they're full of fats from almond butter, and they're made with monkfruit sweetener, which can replace added sugars. But they totally fill the 3-4pm void when I need a cookie! Get the recipe for these delicious babes below! #Sponsored @wholefoods #HowIJanuary #MakesMeWhole RECIPE: Almond Butter Cookies: – 1 1/4 cups almond butter – 1/2 cup monkfruit sweetener – 1 large egg – flaky sea salt, for topping 1. Preheat oven to 350°F and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Set aside. 2. In a large bowl, mix together the almond butter, sweetener, and egg until thoroughly combined. 3. Using a cookie scoop, or by hand, portion the cookie dough into 1 ½ tablespoon balls and place them on your cookie sheet leaving about an inch between each cookie. Using a fork, gently press the cookies cookies down making an imprint. 4. Bake the cookies for 12-14 minutes. Let cool completely before eating. 🍪🍪🍪
