Chocolate Chip Biscotti

Yields 40 cookies.

Ingredient's:

3 eggs
¾ cup sugar
¾ cup oil
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 tsp. almond extract
2 tsp. baking powder
3 cups almond flour
2/3 cup potato starch
1 cup mini chocolate chips
½ cup almond slivers (optional)

Topping:

2 Tbsp. sugar
½ tsp. cinnamon

Directions:

Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line two cookie sheets with baking paper. Using an electric mixer on high speed, beat the eggs and sugar together until the batter increases in volume – this should take about 5 minutes.

Add the oil, vanilla extract, baking powder, and almond flour, and mix until well combined. Gradually add the potato starch a little at a time, mixing until a sticky but workable dough forms. Stir in the mini chocolate chips (and almond slivers if using).

With damp hands, divide the dough into three short logs and place them horizontally on the baking sheets. In a small bowl, mix the sugar and cinnamon for the topping, then sprinkle it generously over the logs.

Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, then remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Slice each log into ¾-inch (about 2 cm.) pieces and return the slices to the baking sheets, cut side down. Bake for an additional 10 minutes to crisp.

ENJOY !

Words & Brush Recipe Corner: ONE-INGREDIENT SORBET

ONE-INGREDIENT SORBET

ONE-INGREDIENT SORBET

“What you put into a recipe is what you get out,” is a line I regularly use in my cookery classes.

“If you only put three ingredients into a dish then you can only expect to get three Flavors out.”

This one-ingredient clementine sorbet is the exception that makes the rule.

Made with nothing but clementine segments - you can add coconut cream or honey, but you really don't have to - it's silken smooth and wonderfully refreshing.

It makes the perfect Pesach dessert but don't wait until then to put this deliciousness to the test.

Clementines are at their peak right now and a bowlful of fruitful goodness awaits.

It's the power of one….and it's yours to explore.

GO AT ORANGE CLEMENTINE SORBET

Ingredients:

Clementine segments
Honey (optional)
Coconut cream (optional)

Directions:

1: Peel clementines and squeeze out seeds from segments. Try to find seedless clementines or look for those with minimal seeds.

2: Freeze until solid then remove from freezer 5 minutes before you want to make sorbet.

3: Place segments in a food processor and process till creamy. Mixture will be icy at first but, as you continue processing, it turns into a silken sorbet.

4: Ideally serve immediately though it can be frozen.

COOK'S NOTES: I don't use honey or coconut cream in my sorbet as it is wonderfully refreshing with just the processed, creamy-tasting fruit. You can, however, add a few Spoonfuls of honey and a little coconut cream for a sweeter or creamier result.

Squeeze out pips as they are bitter but there is no need to attempt to remove the outer sheath of each segment as this is blended in. This 'recipe' can be used for strawberries and a variety of other fruits too but is especially delicious now when 'Clementina' are sweet and plentiful. Keep segments frozen always for the sweetest low-calorie, Vegetarian (parve) treat.

I haven't given quantities as it all depends how many people you are serving. This easy-make recipe goes surprisingly far and you really don't need much fruit to fill your processor.

ENJOY !
