I make a nice quiche for list 1 and beyond. Please consider adding recipes that have not yet been shared with the group. I will continue to add more as my diet improves. My husband is a great cook and is looking forward to creating new recipes as well. Enjoy.
Easy Quiche-List 1 & Beyond
Crust
- 1 cup spelt flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup olive oil or canola oil
- 1/4 cup cool water
Directions
Mix flour and salt with fork.
Beat oil and water with whisk or fork to thicken.
Pour into flour and mix with fork.
Press into 9" pie crust.
Quiche Mixture
Meat- cooked turkey, beef, or chicken (leftovers are the easiest)
Vegetable-Steam finely chopped zuuchini, spinach, or broccoli(strain excess water to avoid a watery quiche). The vegetables can also be sauted.
Season- salt, garlic powder (if allowed)
8 eggs- whisk
Pour eggs on crust. Then add meat and vegetables. Bake on 375 for about 30 min.
(List 2- May sprinkle with cheese)
Tip- I would make two of these at a time and then your breakfast is set for the week. I usually eat my quiche with spelt toast.
Thanks!
This sounds delicious and I can't wait to make it. My kids will probably want some too. Tammy
Brown rice flour
Has anyone used brown rice flour instead of spelt flour for anything?
rice flour
I tried substituting rice flour for spelt flour in my pancakes. They taste and texture changed dramatically. I will let you know if I find any recipes for rice flour.
rice flour
You can use rice flour for anything that says to use spelt, but rice flour crumbles a lot more and really never gives you that true "bread" texture you're looking for unless you mix it with another kind of flour. (although nothing is ever REALLY bread you get in a bakery that has yeast!) There's a recipe for brown rice flour biscuits on the site. I usually mix flours, mostly spelt and brown rice, and things turn out great. Whole foods also has a brown rice flour pizza crust, though I didn't try it because I making it homemade is cheaper and (I like to think) better. Off topic, but I also noticed they have gnocchi that's safe for us. I'm going to attempt to make it by hand this week, but good to know it's available like that when there's not time to cook all day! I think it would be delicious with butter, herbs (sage!), chicken and veggies like broccoli!

spelt pancakes?
you know... you guys are the best. i am such a bad cook that i pretty much stick to really basic stuff and don't think outside the box much. never even thought of making spelt pancakes. were they any good? is it really dry with no fruit or syrup? just curious.
pancakes
Here is a pancake recipe that I use fromthis site. I make it with spelt flour. I top the pancakes with lots of butter.
Nicole's Rye Pancakes
2 cups rye flour (I use spelt flour)
1 tsp baking soda
3 tbs. canola oil
2 1/4 cups water
Mix together the flour and baking soda. Combine the oil and water and stir them into the flour mixture with a wire whisk, adding a few more tbs. water to make thinner. (This batter may thicken as it stands and may require the addition of more water after some of the pancakes have been cooked). Heat a lightly oiled griddle over medium heat and pour batter. Cook until dry around the edges and flip.

I would suggest kamut flour for pancakes - more light, buttery & sweet than spelt. Just a thought.

I'm drooling with the possibility of pancakes, but wonder, what you all use instead of syrup???
Butter
lolo, I just use butter but am looking forward to the day when I can add blueberries!
yummy chicken
My husband made the most amazing fried chicken tonight. He bought chicken tenders, pounded them flat, and dipped them in egg. Then he put spelt flour in a larg ziplock bag. Next each chicken tender was put in the bag so that it could have a nice coat of flour. My tenders had sea salt on them and his tenders were covered in season salt. Then he put olive oil at the bottom of his wok (or frying pan) and got it really hot. Last he picked up the chicken with tongs and fried it in the oil for about twenty seconds on each side. It was so good even the kids ate it!Then we had an amazing discovery. He sprinkled salt on cauliflower and broccoli and cooked them in the wok using less oil. They were so sweet that I am going to check with Matia to see if it is legal LOL. He also cut small strips of zuchine and yellow squash lengthwise and cooked them as well. I tried Lundberg brown rice noodles and they were surprisingly good. They tasted like white noodles and were healthy! I mixed the chicken, veggies, and noddles in a bowl. the flavors were amazing! Garlic powder would be a nice touch for those of you who tolerate it.My husband was inspired by the book Asain Cooking for Dummies. The cooking techniques have expanded the flavors of ordinary meats & vegetables. The main thing is learning to stir fry meats and veggies. I feel like I just ate at a five star restaurant.
