Kolač od banana i svježih borovnica // Banana and blueberry cake

(scroll down for english)

Mufini od banana i svjezih brusnica su mi se toliko svidjeli da sam ovaj put od iste smjese napravila kolac i umjesto svjezih brusnica stavila svjeze borovnice.  Sa kolacom u duetu je dosao i sos od jabuka koji se odlicno slozio!

Sastojci:
2 solje ovasnog brasna
1,5 zlicica sode bikarbone
2 zlicice praska za pecivo
1 zlicica cimeta
malo svjeze naribanog djumbira
4 zrele banane
3 zlice meda ili javorovog sirupa
1/2 solje maslinovog ulja (ili nekog drugog)
2 solje svjezih borovnica

Priprema:
1. Zagrijati pecnicu na 350 F (180 C).
2. U zdjeli prosijati brasno, sodu, prasak za pecivo i cimet.
3. U drugoj zdjeli mikserom zgnjeciti banane, dodati djumbir, ulje, med i borovnice . Potom ubaciti suhe sastojke i mjesati kutlacom tek toliko da se svi sastojci dobro sjedine.
4. Smjesu rasporediti po plehu oblozenom pek papirom i peci jedno 40-ak minuta (mozda i manje ako vam je jaka pecnica).

Sa ovim kolačom završavam sezonu za ovu godinu! 

Čitamo se u novoj! 

Svim čitateljima sretnu i uspješnu novu 2013. godinu uz mnoštvo novih i ukusnih recepata želi 

Vaša

Jovanka Baštovanka!

Sirovi banana-avokado tart // Raw banana-avocado tart

(scroll down for english translation)

Evo treca ulaznica za ovomjesecnu igru Ajme, koliko nas je. Tanja sa bloga Tanja's Cooking Corner je  za ovomjesecnu namirnicu zadala banane. Ajme, koliko nas je---je mjesecna igrica za food-blogere iz bivse Yu. Moja prva ulaznica je bila sirovi banana tart, a druga ovasni kolacici.

Sastojci za "koru":
1 solja badema
1 solja suhih brusnica
2-3 zlice caja od mente

Sastojci za kremu:
1 vrlo zreli avokado (ja sam stavila 2 jer su bili omanji i pazite da nije gnjil ili crn jer vam krema nece onda biti zelena)
2 vrlo zrele banane (sto vise tockica to bolje)
po zelji zlica meda

Priprema:
1. U procesoru samljeti posebno bademe, a posebno brusnice. Pomijesati oba sastojka i dodati zlicu po zlicu caja (moze i vode).
2. Obloziti kalup za tart pek papirom (ja sam stavila u male zdjelice da dobije oblik soljice).
3. Smjesu malo sjediniti rukama, podijeliti na 4 manja tarta i staviti u frizider da se malo stisne.
4. U medjuvremenu u procesoru samljeti avokado i bananu da bude fina krema.
5. Puniti tart-kalupe sa kremom te ostaviti na pola sata u frizideru.

Ne preporucujem da tart stoji previse dugo u frizideru jer avokado vrlo brzo potamni.

U magazinu originalne keksice pod nazivom Speculaas mozete naci na stranicama 102-103, a jež-keks na stranicama 110-111. Mada ja sam jezeve radila sa prvom smjesom. Sa jezevima sam se odusevila, ali kako nisam ljubitelj cokoladnih mrvica ja sam ih zamjenila mljevenim bademima.

Sastojci:
360 g brasna (3 cups)
2 zlicice cimeta
1/2 zlicice muskatnog orascica
1 zlicica djumbira u prahu

110 g smedjeg secera (1/2 cup)
80 ml sojinog mlijeka


Priprema:
1. Prosijati brasno pa dodati sodu i zacine.
2. Putar sobne temperature umutiti sa postepenim dodavanjem secera. Potom dodati 1/3 mjesavine brasna sa zacinima i mlijeko. Sve sastojke dobro sjediniti pa dodati ostatak brasna i zamjesiti tijesto.
3. Tijesto zamotati u foliju i staviti u frizider na minimum 2h da se stisne (moze i preko noci).
4. Tijesto izvaditi iz frizidera i pustiti da malo odstoji na sobnoj temperaturi te ga podijeliti na 2 dijela.
5. Zagrijati pecnicu na 180 C (350 F).
6. Tijesto razvaljati valjkom na pobrasnjenoj povrsini. Vaditi modlicama razne oblike i redati ih na pleh oblozen pek papirom. Ostata tijesta skupiti, ponovo zamjesiti i ponoviti postupak dok ne ponestane tijesta.
7. Keksice peci jedno 10-15 minuta dok ne dobiju finu smedjkastu boju (moji su odmah bili smedjakasti zbog smedjeg secera).
8. Od drugog dijela tijesta raditi oblike "jezha".. kad se ispeku, umociti 2/3 u topljenu cokoladu pa onda u mljevene orase, bademe ili mak.
9. Keksice mociti u otopljenu cooladu i ukrasiti po zelji (posuti mljevenim orasima, pistacima ili suhim brusnicama).
