pie asparagus, herbs and wild flowers
originally supposed to be a simple pie asparagus but then on Sunday in the hills around me "gift" of mallow leaves, rocket, plantain, violets and daisies. And of course I could not resist the temptation to add to the mixture of asparagus. I was a bit 'worried about the plantain because it is rather stringy and maybe even a little' wad if eaten raw, but the trick is always the same: finely chop! The flowers, unfortunately, are mixed and the rest are not visible, but there are:) The result is excellent, the flavor is asparagus / spinach ... is because these herbs, when cooked, I like spinach. Excellent!
If you do not you are familiar with the edible wild herbs, from a species at a time and learn to recognize it well before eating, and refer to Latin names because they are the only reliable. Violetta
> violet daisies
> Bellis Perennis
Plantain> all are fine Plantago
Malva> Malva Sylvestris
Wild Rocket> Diplotaxis tenuifolia
chives> this I have not cataloged, there are many types, but can not be wrong , the shape of the filiform leaves and onion smell is unmistakable.
All these species are edible and have contrindicazioni. (Apart from the root of Violet, who can vomit, but neither is it good and no one would dream of eating it)
here a very interesting list of edible herbs , many new for me too! That's great, I can not wait to try !!!!!!
Ingredients and procedure for the pie: chickpea flour (yes it is still the same oak!)
salt water
Form a very liquid batter
and put in fridge to rest, even overnight. A bunch of asparagus
a large onion (or leek integer)
sunflower oil salt
chop and stew over low heat
If you want you can add a handful or two of herbs and flowers finely chopped and cook for another 10 minuti.
Mescolateci la pastella e versate in uno stampo oliato. volendo potete fare un tortino di pasta sfoglia e versare la pastella direttamente sulla pasta sfoglia. Dev'essere buono. Cuocete in forno a 190° per 40 minuti o fino a quando non diventa dorato ai bordi.
Lasciate raffreddare bene prima di tagliare perchè ha bisogno di tempo per rassodarsi.
Ieri è stata una bellissima giornata! E' troppo bello stare fuori all'aria aperta tutto il giorno ed esplorare la natura con i suoi fiori, insetti ed animaletti con i bimbi!
Il piccolo Ludovico però, dopo una certa ora, reclamava la sua mezz'oretta di coccole, era anche stanco tra l'altro perchè non aveva fatto il suo solito nap:) And so ... tit! Me and my little lucky we still have to grant this special time of pampering.
The thing that allowed me to not lose the milk was not pacifier use (never or almost never) and the non-use of bottles. Eventually, these two objects are artificial and invented a few decades, I think it is an evil not to use them, and honestly I've never needed!
And the night he sleeps well in her crib is in the same room with his brother in the other chamber, usually from the evening until 20.30 in the morning without waking up at 7.30.
milk that I can give is just because, except on Saturdays and Sundays, Louis attended asylum with his brother and then the feeds were reduced to just 2 a day (morning and evening) with a consequent inability to feed exclusively on a vegan (vegan for feed, in fact, 50% of the food must be ingested breast milk) . I'm still happy because the baby is fine and the food animals that do are limited to one portion per day of: hard-boiled egg, yogurt, kefir, Parmigiano-Reggiano 36 months (do not ask why but was an osteopath who told me that this was the not as bad when it comes to bones for my two children are both very high. I was indeed told to eliminate dairy products and consume, if desired, Parmesan cheese only 36 months). And this year I can proudly declare another winter without medicine!!
is a great victory for me, it means that my two children are almost vegan healthy strong and robust. They are slightly thinner than a few children of the same age, but this does not bother me because I see that they are healthy, active, lively, inquisitive and happy:) I'm sure I do the right thing for them and I'm happy:)
