dear TI kindly invited me to be part of her ZWISCHENZEIT series
i don´t do lenten resolutions but i do eat so i tried to come up with something
and since the post is in German on her blog - here it is again in English
unfortunately that rebus doesn´t make any sense to not German speakers
(buckwheat = book beer)
also i wouldn´t recommend making yourself a buckwheat bracelet
it doesn´t keep that well
but W would like to make it in gold
just kidding
my sister thinks buckwheat tastes at the same time boring and interesting
so it needs strong companions
the first loose recipe:
wash and cook buckwheat according to instructions
caramelize chestnuts and spring onions
slice a pear
get some yoghurt and dries berries
or anything else you like
eat it
in case you´re in the mood for pancakes
i´d start like that:
80g buckwheat flour
80g spelt flour
1 tea spoon baking powder
sugar and salt as you like
150ml milk
2 apples roughly grated

mix everything and add more milk or flour to get right consistency
let sit for a while
bake pancakes

eat with ricotta mixed with brown sugar and vanilla
or maple sirup

also you can use buttermilk or water instead of milk (or even beer)
or add an egg or a pad of butter
switch the apples for pears or beets
do as you like
