• 1 tsp stevia / sugar substitute
• 1/3 cup grated cheddar
• 10g coconut oil
• 20g butter

STEP1

• Grind up left over cannabis leaves to make cannabis flour

STEP2

• Place all the ingredients in a mixing bowl
• Melt the butter and oil first

• Separate into to small balls and place on baking paper on tray
• Cook for 12 minutes at 190⁰ C
• Switch off oven

VEGAN

To make it vegan, replace butter with 2 x tablespoons of oil.
Add chocolate / vanilla essence instead of cheese. Use any flour, if you are not following the low carb / Keto diet

WARNING

The cookies can pack a punch.  Fresh out the oven they tasted so good , that I got to eat two and was out of it for 20 hours.

To be safe, cut them into pill size shapes and eat 2 as if they were pills, a supplement.   this will give you 3 hours of feeling active, 3 hours feeling happy and then a good night’s sleep.

 

Thor Han’s  Bouillabaisse  (Serves 3-4)  takes around one hour to make. If you prepare it in the morning, it will taste even more flavourful when you serve it in the evening (or the day after). And if you are making it for kids, you can skip the wine.

Ingredients

• good splashes of  coconut oil and olive oil
• 1 big yellow onion, peeled, one finely chopped
• 4 cloves garlic, peeled and finely chopped/crushed
• 1/2 coliflour chopped small (instead of white fish)
• 1 courgette
• I bag of mejillones / mussels
• A good splash of   wine
• 2 peeled tomatoes chopped small or  ½ tin of chopped tomatoes or 200g of fried tomatoes.
• 1 tbsp fresh thyme
• pinch of black/white pepper
• 1 tbsp lemon juice or vinegar (+ more for seasoning)
• 1 tbsp of gluten free flour to thicken (optional)
• fennel seeds and star of anise (optional)
• 1 litre or enough cold water to almost cover the the mussels
• Part of the liquid could be vegetable/fish stock (caldo)

 To serve with

• 3 or 4  dosa – ie one per person
• Aioli  optional

How to …

Place a large sauce pan on medium heat. Add olive & coconut oil and then add fennel seeds / anise, onions and garlic. Sauté for a couple of minutes or until the onions have softened. Add thyme.

Start cooking the dosa in a non stick frying pan. It takes 20-30 minutes to do 4.  The first one can take 10 minutes.

Clean mussles/mejillones – remove beards, discard broken shellls.  Wash and soak in water.

Chop the cauliflour and corgette (peeled nicer) in small chunks.  Add to pan with a litre of cold water

Drain the water from the mussles and add them to the big pan.   mix in well.   Put a lid on top and put on a low heat for at least 45 minutes.

Serve the soup in wide bowls,  a dollop of aioli opcional

Thor Han’s  Bouillabaisse is inspired by teaching from the Pleiades that if something has a heart or a face you should not eat it!

This is the perfect snack food .  It fills a gap, but doesn’t spoil your appetite.   It is totally vegan and makes a good filler for  a wrap.

This makes a lot.  If you don’t have room in the freezer, you can halve the quantities.

• 1/2 Tsp heaped garam marsala (Optional for curry flavour)
• I tin of tomatoes triturado (mashed)

• Rinse them
• Heat the pan with oils
• Add the onions, garlic and fry till soft
• Add the tomatoes and tomatoe concentrate, the chilli peppers
• Add the beans & chickpeas

You can eat the mix as is, without blending.  But it wont be so easy to digest.  Many thanks to Matt  for the tip about soaking the beans in salted water to make them less farty.

The plantain pancake makes a good dessert with strawberries and cream or yoghurt or iced cream on top. Enjoy!

Ingredients

• 1 large green plantain, peeled
• 1 egg
• ½ cup of milk
• ½ tsp stevia or sugar
• a pinch of salt
• Coconut oil / butter/ oil for cooking

Instructions

• The plantain will often be hard to peel. Make a slit in the peel lengthwise, followed by slicing it into thirds, then a knife to peel.
• Place the ingredients in a bowl or blender. Blend until you have a smooth batter.
• First put a little oil or butter into a non stick pan. Then cook like a normal pancake.
• The pancakes freeze well

makes 6 pancakes

If you can’t add milk,  then use two eggs per plantain.
If you want a fluffier panake, add a pinch of baking powder

The Eating

Best with cream and strawsberries
30 seconds in the microwave to bring them back to life, if  they have been in the fridge.

The gluten free dosa is a great bread substitute. Vegan, lectin free and easy to make. It ticks every box.

The Dosa is a flat bread / crepe / wrap made with fermented rice and lentils.   The traditional recipe uses round white rice and  white lentils,  and  feeds millions of people in South India.

The recipe below includes  chickpeas  and olive oil.    The result  is more like a pancake or crepe.

Many thanks to Nitu Chugani‘s cooking classes for introducing me to the Indian dosa, which is more thin and swirly than mine .  see www.nitudidi.com for authentic indian recipes and more.

INGREDIENTS

The proportions are 3 rice, 1 lentils, 1 chickpeas

• • 3 cups round bomba rice
  • 1 cup urid dall (pealed white lentils)
  • 1 cup chickpeas (garbanzos)
  • Indian Spices to taste: fenugreek leaves or cumin or coriander OR
  • Western Herbs to taste : mixed herbs or rosemary &/or thyme
  • 3 teaspoons salt
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 4 cups of water

makes enough for a few days.  It will keep well in the fridge or freezer.

HOW TO DO IT

Overall it takes 30 minutes to prepare, then as long as it takes to cook a pancake.   But the process spans 30 hours.

STEP 1

Put the rice,  lentils and Chickpeas to soak for 5 hours or over night

STEP 2

• Drain and wash the rice mix
• Add 4 cups of good water.  filtered or bottled.
• Add the fenugreek leaves and or spices
• Grind / liquidise the mix with a blender.
• Put in a large container and leave for 12-24 hours in a warm place to ferment.  the misture expands by 20%+ during fermentation.
• Do NOT add the salt till after fermentation

In the winter, place the containers in the oven with the light on.  The light will give the right amount of heat for the fermentation.  Thank you to Matt for this tip.

STEP 3

• Add salt and olive oil to the mixture, and stir well
• Put a non stick pan, without oil, on  a medium heat
• Spread a large spoon of the mixture on the pan
• cook for about 4 minutes at medium heat
• After a few minutes the dosa will lift, then turn it over

The cooked dosas can be kept in fridge or frozen.     15-30 seconds in the microwave will bring a dosa back to life.  But best eaten straight from the pan, when they are crispy

THE EATING

My favorites are

• Egg on dosa
• Dosa wrap with half an avocadoe or asparagus
• Cheese on dosa (30 seconds in the microwave to melt the cheese)
• Dosa wrap with sliced tomatoe
• Dosa with pickle/ curry paste or Pete’s Bean Paté
• Dosa wrap with a sweet potatoe chana (mild curry)
• Dosa by itself as a biscuit/bread substitute
• Dosa pizza.  make a big dosa(s) as normal, then add your pizza topping and cook in a hot oven for 15 minutes approx.

The dosa is vegan and gluten free. The process of fermentation eliminates the lectins in the mix and makes them even better for you.  You could cook with the mix and skip fermentation, but it would not be so good .
