Low FODMAP Garlic Bread

I made this at Christmas time but forgot to post the recipie then.

Ingredients:

1/4 cup Garlic infused olive oil (I use colbram estate)
1/2 cup Butter
2 tablespoons Mixed herbs/Italian herbs

Method
1. Melt butter for 20-30 seconds in the microwave until it is somewhat pliable, but not until it is liquid.
2. Add the garlic infused olive oil and mix it well. 3. Add your herbs and mix thoroughly.
4. Cut baguette into thick slices and place on oven tray with alfoil under it.
5. Generously spread between each slice of bread.
Wrap the alfoil up and place in an oven at 180°C for 15 minutes or until crisp on the outside and soft in the centre.

Cornflake Cookies

Makes approximately 24 Biscuits

Ingredients:
200g sugar
250g butter (or for dairy free/vegan use nuttlex)
5 cups of cornflakes (check that they are gluten free). You can use Kellogg's, Woolworths home brand, or freedom foods
2 no egg (egg replacement - I use Organ no egg)
300g of gluten free SR flour (I use Organ)
Pinch of salt
2 teaspoons of vanilla extract

Method:
1. In your thermal cooker blitz the sugar for 5 seconds on speed 5 to make caster sugar.
2. Add the butter and vanilla extract and mix on speed 4-5 for 30 seconds. Scrape down the sides.
3. Add the no egg (4 teaspoons of the powder to 4 tablespoons of water) and mix on speed 4-5 for 30 seconds again.  Scrape down the sides again.
4. Add the flour and salt and mix for 45 seconds on speed 4-5 scraping the sides with the spatula as you go.
5. Once it is well mixed in add the cornflakes and mix on speed 1 for 10 seconds.  If it needs further mixing you may need to do it by hand so you don't crush the cornflakes.
6. Using a dessert spoon to portion the biscuits roll them into round flat balls in your hands and put on a tray lined with baking paper. (You will need 3 trays.)
7. Bake at 180°C for 15-20 minutes.
8. Allow to cool on the tray and then transfer to a cooling rack to completely cool and harden.

I hope you enjoy making this recipe like I did rediscovering it. :)

Mint Jelly

I don't know about you, but I can never find gluten free mint sauce or mint jelly for Christmas. In the last few years I've made my own, which has been quite successful.

Ingredients:

375ml white wine vinegar
One gelatin sachet
125 ml boiling water
3/4 cup fresh mint about 3-4 sprigs from the garden
2 tsp caster sugar*

1 large sterile jar (big enough to hold 2.5 cups)

*If you are diabetic you can leave the sugar out.

Method

Assemble your items. Once you pour the boiling water you will need to move quickly.
Chop your mint finely. Once you are happy with the size I put the kettle on to boil with the minimum amount of water allowed, as you will be only using 1/2 a cup.
Have your gelatin sachet and caster sugar ready to go straight in!!!
Pour your boiling water into the heat proof mixing bowl and add the gelatin, stirring with a whisk until it is dissolved.
Add the caster sugar and mix in well.
Once that is dissolved add the finely chopped mint and and white wine vinegar.
Mix thoroughly and then pour into your glass jar.
Seal it and leave it to set in the fridge for at least 24 hours.

I hope you enjoy that. I find it very quick and easy to make. :)
