“The Has-Beenz”(TM) Recipes

I have created a savoury and a sweet recipe using beans. Yes, you can even make a dessert with beans, no kidding (no kidney? OK, that's not funny)!


Aduki bean falafel


This recipe is wheat, yeast and dairy free (if you use gram flour).


Ingredients:

250gr pre-soaked aduki beans
1 egg
3 tablespoons gram (chickpea) flour or normal flour
salt and pepper to taste
chilli powder
curry powder
2 garlic cloves or a small shallot (optional)


Method:
Soak the beans the day before, or overnight for a minimum of 8 hours.
Cook the beans for at least 1 hour in boiling water, then blitz in a food processor to a smooth paste.
Mix all the ingredients ensuring it is not too dry or too wet. Mold into small discs/burger shapes a couple of inches thick.
Heat some oil in a frying pan, drop a few falafels into the oil one at a time and cook on each side for 3-4 minutes. You could alternatively pan fry for 1-2 minutes then put under the grill or in the oven for another 5-10 minutes.
Serve with a mixed salad and a fresh dip like yoghurt, cucumber and mint.


Aduki bean chocolate muffins

This recipe is wheat, yeast, dairy free and with a low Glycaemic Index if you use agave syrup instead of sugar and gram flour instead of normal flour.

Ingredients

150gr pre-soaked aduki beans
3 tablespoons agave syrup (or sugar)
3 tablespoons cocoa powder
1 tablespoon coconut oil
1 egg
½ tablespoon gram flour
1 pinch baking soda
cinnamom and other spices to taste (optional)


Method:
Soak the beans the day before, or overnight for a minimum of 8 hours.
Cook the beans in boiling water for at least one hour then blitz in a food processor. Check that there's no small bits left, you need to get a smooth paste.
Mix all the ingredients together: melt some coconut oil over boiling water if the weather is cold and set some of it aside for the ramekins.
The mixture should make 4 small muffins. Swirl the coconut oil inside the ramekins, pour the mixture in and cook in the oven for 15-20 minutes at 150 degrees Celsius.
Serve with either single cream or strawberry jam.

I went along to see Paola for treatment not really knowing what to expect. I had the natural facelift massage, which was really relaxing and rejuvenating, then a full upper body massage. Paola was able to identify areas which had been giving me some trouble without my making her aware of them, including a particularly stiff shoulder and upper arm, which had been causing me pain for some time. Following Paola’s treatment, the pain has gone completely and I am now able to fully move my shoulder once again. The whole experience was one of complete relaxation and I can thoroughly recommend it to anyone considering this type of therapy. Paola herself is passionate about her work and this comes across in everything she does. I will be back! Barbara Kennedy, Aberdeen
