dear TI kindly invited me to be part of her ZWISCHENZEIT series

i don´t do lenten resolutions but i do eat so i tried to come up with something
and since the post is in German on her blog - here it is again in English

.

unfortunately that rebus doesn´t make any sense to not German speakers

(buckwheat = book beer)

also i wouldn´t recommend making yourself a buckwheat bracelet

it doesn´t keep that well

but W would like to make it in gold

just kidding

.

my sister thinks buckwheat tastes at the same time boring and interesting

so it needs strong companions

.

the first loose recipe:

wash and cook buckwheat according to instructions

caramelize chestnuts and spring onions

slice a pear

get some yoghurt and dries berries

or anything else you like

eat it

.

in case you´re in the mood for pancakes
i´d start like that:

80g buckwheat flour

80g spelt flour

1 tea spoon baking powder

sugar and salt as you like

150ml milk

2 apples roughly grated

mix everything and add more milk or flour to get right consistency

let sit for a while

bake pancakes

eat with ricotta mixed with brown sugar and vanilla

or maple sirup

also you can use buttermilk or water instead of milk (or even beer)

or add an egg or a pad of butter

switch the apples for pears or beets

do as you like
