pesach – A Bit of This A Bit of That

Free* Banana Bread

*Free from eggs, gluten, milk, sugar.

So its Pesach, that means no flour and since Paul is diabetic I cant use sugar either.

I found {this} recipe on a FB food forum and I have tweeked it a little to suit us.

Ingredients

1 large bunch of (over)ripe bananas
2 cups chopped walnuts (I bought walnuts in their shells, my kids said they are not REAL if they are already shelled, I dont have a nut cracker, I improvised with a heavy bottomed pan and went all HULK SMASH on the poor walnuts, it was fun!)
2 cups potato flour
1 cup chopped dates
pinch of salt (I forgot about the salt, oh well)

Method

Peel and mash the bananas.
Chop up your shelled walnuts, I blitzed them in a small food processor.
Pit your dates and cut or shred them into small pieces.
Add bananas, potato flour, walnuts, dates and salt in a bowl.
Mix until just combined.
Place in an appropriate sized loaf tin.
Bake for 35-40 minutes at 180ºC
Enjoy hot with butter slathered on!

Pesach Rolls

Pesach, a time of matza, horseradish and lots of yummy food.

We decided to have cold meat for lunch today but the kids wanted rolls.

So I grabbed some matzo meal and made the yummiest rolls.

Ingredients

2 x cups matzo meal
1/2 x cup oil
1 and 1/2 cup boiling water
Teaspoon salt
Teaspoon sugar
4 x eggs, beaten

Method

Heat oven to 190C and grease a baking tray.
Add all dry ingredients to a mixing bowl.
Add the boiling water and the oil and mix.
Allow to cool.
Once cool add the eggs and mix.
Divide into six portions and place on baking tray.
Bake for 40 minutes.

And that’s it. They were very light and fluffy and went well with the cold meat and horseradish.
