Preheat the oven to 300F. Put the rolled spelt, oats, almonds, sunflower seeds, sesame seeds and cinnamon in a large bowl and stir to combine. Transfer to a large baking sheet with sides and spread out evenly.
1 2 Put the maple syrup, sugar and oil in a small saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes or until the sugar has dissolved. Stir through the vanilla. Pour the hot syrup over the spelt mixture and stir until all the ingredients are evenly coated. 3 Bake the granola, stirring every 10 minutes to ensure even browning, for 3035 minutes or until golden brown and crisp. Remove from the oven, add the dried fruit and stir to combine. Set aside to cool completely.
1/ 3
3 tablespoons firmly packed light brown sugar 3 tablespoons vegetable oil (such as sunflower or canola) 2 teaspoons natural vanilla extract 1 cup mixed dried fruit (such as currants and cranberries)
t i P S You could substitute rolled barley for some of the rolled oats.
It is important to stir the granola every 10 minutes or it will brown unevenly and burn. Cooking it slowly at a low temperature makes it crisp and golden without requiring too much oil or sugar. Store in an airtight container for up to 1 month.
Rolled spelt can be used in recipes where you would typically use rolled oats.

1 Preheat the oven to 350F. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
21/4 cups pure confectioners or icing sugar, sifted, plus extra, to serve
1/ 2 1/ 2
Sift the confectioners sugar, amaranth flour and baking powder together into a large bowl. Stir in the ground almonds and coconut.
2 3 Add the egg whites, butter, lime zest and passion fruit pulp and stir to combine. Divide the mixture among the lined muffin cups. 4 Bake for 20 minutes or until golden and cooked through (a skewer inserted into the center of a cake should come out with a few moist crumbs clinging to it). Remove from the oven and set aside for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool. Serve dusted with extra confectioners sugar.
t i p s If you want these cakes to be gluten free, make sure you use
gluten-free baking powder. You will need about 3 passion fruit to get this amount of pulp. The cakes will keep, in an airtight container, for up to 3 days.
Amaranth flour has quite a herbaceous flavor, so it works well with the nuttiness of almond meal. Amaranth flour is gluten free, so it is ideal to use in gluten-free baking.

1 Preheat the oven to 400F. Put the beets in a large roasting pan, cover the pan with foil and roast for 4045 minutes or until they are tender when pierced with a skewer. Set aside to cool slightly, then peel (see tips) and cut into wedges.
1012 (about 111/ 2 lb in total) baby beets, trimmed 1 cup raw buckwheat groats
1/ 2
cup hazelnuts, lightly toasted and skinned 3 tablespoons snipped chives 4 oz soft goats cheese (see tips), crumbled D r ess i N g 3 tablespoons olive oil
Meanwhile, heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the buckwheat and cook, stirring, for 34 minutes or until fragrant. Put the toasted buckwheat and 2 cups water in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce the heat to low and simmer for 1012 minutes or until just tender (be careful not to overcook). Rinse under cold running water, then drain well.
2 3 Coarsely chop the hazelnuts and place in a large bowl. Add the beets, cooked buckwheat, arugula and chives and stir to combine. 4 To make the dressing, whisk the olive oil, orange juice and balsamic in a small bowl until combined. Add to the salad and toss well. Sprinkle with the goats cheese and season with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste.
The earthy flavor of the buckwheat is delicious with roasted beets and goats cheese. Buckwheat is an ideal grain for vegetarian dishes such as this, as it is rich in protein, B vitamins, calcium and phosphorus. The cheese and hazelnuts also add extra protein.
You could substitute a creamy feta cheese or marinated feta for the goats cheese if you like.
