Good news everybody (says the proffesor from futurama!)! I got a medical interview offer at Flinders university, woot. Now the hard work starts again. But anyway, back to gastronomic concerns:
Many of you have probably been missing the quick and easy approach of pouring milk on museli. It is true that it is cheap, convenient, easy and suposedly healthy. After all, its swiss! But is it? Well our "fat chance challenge" might shed some light on then, then again, it might not! Either way I thought of a substitute for us high faters and made it the other day, and it was very very good.
The ingredients used are as follows:
2 cups almonds
2 cups macadamias
2 cups walnuts
2 cups shredded coconut
o.5 cup raisins and or currants (or other dried fruit of your choice)
- 1 blender
You can guess were it goes from here right?
Basic recipe is as follows:
blend the 2 cups of almonds FIRST, until they are roughly quartered (some obviously more than others). Then throw in the 2 cups of macadamia nuts and blend until they are all roughly halved. Then throw in the walnuts until they are roughly quartered. By now, as long as you've mixed abit, most stuff is very small, with a few odd nice chunks of macadamia throughtout! THe reason for adding the nuts in this sequential order is because of how hard they are to break down (almonds, then macadamias and then walnuts).
Then simply throw the nut museli base in a big container with 2 cups of shredded coconut and with half a cup of raisins and mix like crazy. Simply put a few spoonfulls in a bowl and serve with decadant cream and you've got yourself an awesome fatty, proteiny, but lower carbohydrate breakfast!!
Obviously this recipe can be modified as you see fit. Any sorts of nuts could be used (though i doubt peanuts would taste as good...and anyway, there not technically nuts! Damn legumes :P) and any dried fruit. Watch the dried fruit though. While it is a useful sweetening tool it is such because its RIDICULOUSLY sugar dense! Raisins are about 70% pure sugar... :S. That's why we use such a small amount versus the nuts! Cream makes this recipe awesome. Also, peter arnold should make lots of this when his macadamia tree is are in season. What a lucky man!
Try and enjoy, tell me what you think. I'll see If i can upload a picture soon too!
P.S: Now you've no excuses for not eating a high fat breakfast on the go!
