WEEK 63 CHAI EXPERIMENTS
Hello all you beautiful amazing wonderful humans!
Check this line out;
'People don't need to know how good you are. They need you to love them so that they know how good they are.'
Oh wow. What an awesome flip!
This line hit me like a thunderbolt from a local library book I have just finished reading. 'Marrow' by Elizabeth Lesser.
'Marrow' is about Elizabeth becoming a bone marrow donor to her sister Maggie, and the healing journey they undertook to increase the success of the transplant. They brought loving awareness to their own goodness within and loved and forgave the other on a deep cellular level, to the very marrow of their bones.
HUGE!
This leads me to gratefully and joyfully share with you the following community offerings.
MITCHELLS WALNUT FRITTER RECIPE
This kind of moment just makes my heart, sing! Mitchell and I were talking a few weeks back about my Walnut Vegan Burrito adventure, and last Friday, Mitchell handed over the handwritten recipe she has made for her family for years.
This generosity of time is rich and broad-reaching. Recipes are such a gift and like all our recipes here, they are all winners as our community shares the recipes that they have enjoyed.
This is another win for walnuts taking the place as a delicious, local meat alternative!
METHOD:
1. Blend in a food processor the following ingredients
1 red onion
3 garlic cloves peeled
1 vegie stock cube 1 tspn Fill Good curry powder
1 tspn tamari
1/2 tspn pepper

2. Add the below ingredients to the mix and blend again
2 cups walnuts

3. Add this dough to a bowl of breadcrumbs and mix together
1/4 cup breadcrumbs or wholemeal flour
4. Roll the mixture into golf ball-sized patties, press firmly to flatten with hands
5. Fry in oil until browned, place aside on a dish

This will take 30 to 45 mins.
CHI YOUR CHAI - A TRADITIONAL CHAI RECIPE AND HACK
So lately my morning cup of English breakfast tea has had me need to conjure up my own Chai and it has been such a lovely way to greet the day. My morning cuppas have been infused spices and flavours that appeal to me upon waking. It changes daily.
In India Chai is simply strong black tea, with smashed cardamom pods, fresh ginger, loads of sugar, and milk.
As a little hack to make your mornings more enjoyable! Instead of tea bags, use the following instead;
- a coffee plunger
- teapot
- a saucepan
- a little heatproof jug that you can pour the strained mixture through
