Spicy kinako bread with creamed edamame

DSC03085-001DSC03128-001

Triple power snack : edamame (green soy beans), kinako and sesame.
That’s an interesting very bread-like quick bread, and it happens to be gluten-free.

Kinako is made by roasting dry soy beans, then making them into a flour. It’s a common ingredient of Japanese sweets.

2013-05-30

Mix : 1/2 cup kinako, 1/2 cup oatmeal, 2 tbs yellow and black sesame (half ground, half whole), 1/2 cup onion (half ground, half thinly cut), 1 dry chili pepper (without seeds, thinly cut), black pepper, salt, 1/4 ts of baking powder. Wet with water
Spread and level between 2 sheets of baking paper. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top.
Bake 15 minutes at 120 degrees Celsius, then cut and bake 15 more minutes at 180 degrees.

Warning : the chili pepper’s hotness will develop, so skip it if you are sensitive to it.

The result is a soft and compact dark bread. Let it cool overnight so flavors can develop fully.

Soft red pancakes, with a very creamy spread of caramel salé, caramel flavored with salty butter.

Tant pour tant, equal weight.
(1 : 1 : 1) sugar : cream : salted butter.
Melt the sugar into blond caramel, add in the warmed cream. Remove from stove, add butter.
See what you can do with it here, I mean besides eating it all with a spoon.

To the hot tant pour tant caramel, I have mixed in 2 additional volumes of cream. It became very liquid, it has a cream textured when cooled. I have then added a few bits of rock salt.
It can be used like a jam or a spread.

The pancakes are also tant pour tant, 1:1:1. It’s flour (plus baking powder), tofu, carrot paste (grounds when I juiced kintoki carrots with mandarin oranges).

Fresh and feisty…

Bread in cocotte with pastel duet of bean spreads

Look at my funny tartine ! That’s because I’ve baked fresh bread.

And I needed something to spread on it : Hot azuki mash and crème de fèves.
The purple one is HOT, really and a bit chunky. The green one is pure velvet in the mouth.

I had graham flour dough left after the pizza. I’ve kept it in the fridge overnight and after adding rosemary and olive oil, I baked it in the oven, inside the cast iron cocotte. Details here.

A Southern pain de campagne with crunchy crust.

3 pots toppings :
-blanched favas (broad beans), mixed with olive oil, salt, a little dried garlic, a little water.
-mashed boiled azuki beans, salt, pepper, bits of Korean chili and greens of negi leeks.
-finely sliced zucchini

Funny little meal.
