QUINOA PIZZA CRUST


The best pizza ever 

Makes one 8-inch pizza  or 3 x 10-20cm

For the base

generous 1 cup quinoa
1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
2 teaspoons dried mixed herbs (I use herbes de Provence and oregano)
sprinkling of chili 
flakessalt

For the toppings

2-3 tablespoons tomato paste4 tomatoesand more and more


Soak the quinoa overnight or for about 8 hours in cold water. The best way to do thisis to put the quinoa in a large bowl and cover it with water, making sure that it’scovered by a few inches. Then leave this to one side.Once you’re ready to make the pizza, preheat the oven to 230 °C.Drain any water left in the quinoa bowl, before putting the quinoa into a foodprocessor with the apple cider vinegar, herbs, chili flakes and salt. Blend for a fewminutes until a smooth dough forms—it should look a bit like a pancake mix.Grease the bottom of an 8-inch pizza pan or cake pan with olive oil and pour the mixin, then bake for about 15–20 minutes, until the base is firm—it cooks pretty quicklythough.For the toppingsRemove the pizza base and add your toppings. Either place the pizza back in the ovenfor a few minutes to warm them or enjoy your toppings raw!

Tender Stir-Fried Pork with Cashew Nuts and Black Bean Sauce

Serves 2 very hungry people
Preparation time  15 min
Cooking time  about 20 min

Syns per serving
Original  ??
Green  ??



  • 225 g Pork Fillet
  • 1 tbsp Cornflour
  • 1 cup  Basmati Rice
  • 1-2 garlic garlic clove  
  • 1 tbsp  Ginger
  • 1 Green Pepper
  • 1 Carrot
  • 1 tbsp Cashew Nuts 
  • 1 tbsp  Sesame Oil  
  • 1 tbsp Black Bean Sauce
  • Fry light spraying or cocount oil 
  • pinch of Himalayan salt
  • 1 tsp black or cayenne  pepper 



1.Very thinly slice the pork  widthways into ½cm slices and toss them in the cornflour with a
pinch of salt and a few grinds of black pepper.

2. Boil 350ml of water (exactly) with ¼ tsp of salt. Once the water comes to a boil turn the heat to
the lowest setting. Add the rice and place a tight lid on the pan. Leave on the lowest heat for 10
mins, then remove from the heat for 10 mins. Don’t peek under the lid for 20 mins or the rice won’t be perfect!

3. Peel and very finely chop the garlic. Peel the skin from the ginger using the edge of a spoon
and then finely chop it. Remove the core from the green pepper  and slice it lengthways into ½cm
slices. Peel and chop the carrot into ½cm sticks (thinner if your knife skills allow!). Finally, chop
the spring onion widthways into really thin discs then separate the white and green parts.

4.Put a large frying pan on medium-high heat and add the cashew nuts (without oil). Cook the cashew nuts until they have turned brown and then remove them from the pan.

 5.Once the nuts are removed  add 2 tsp of cooking oil (not the sesame oil yet) into the pan and
once it’s really hot carefully lay in your pork. Cook it for a minute on each side then remove. Cook
in two batches if necessary as overcrowding the pan will stew the meat rather than browning it.

 6.Add the sesame oil into the pan together with the whites of the spring onion, garlic and ginger.
Cook for 30 seconds then add the pepper and carrot strips. Cook for another 4 mins before adding back in the pork

7.Add the black bean sauce together with 4 tbsp of water and toss everything together for a
minute, before serving it with your rice, a sprinkle of cashews and the greens of the spring onion

Really delicious but salty , beacuse of black bean sauce. Portions are very large.
