Olive Hummer: I want to go back to Ghana

HEJ PÅ DIG VEGAN!

Thought I would show you some images of me. Hehe. These images were taken by my super talented friend Johanna http://akerbergkassel.tumblr.com/ She is a food photographer. The first time we met was on a blind date. We had so many friends in common that thought we should team up. So we fucking did.

This is when I am making vegan zucchini fritters inspired from Ghana.

Here we are. The dish.

For two people:

SUN CHOKE AND GARLIC PURE

5 sun chokes

4 tbsp good olive oil

2 cloves of garlic

3 tbsp of oat cream

salt and pepper

Peel the sun chokes and put them in cold water. Peel the garlic. Put sun chokes and garlic in a pot with water and boil until the sun chokes feels soft. Remove the water, add olive oil, oat cream, salt and pepper and mix with a hand blender until smooth. Let it rest.

ZUCCHINI, SAGE AND HAZELNUT FRITTERS

1 zucchini

6 leaves of sage

1 handfull hazelnuts

2 tbsp bread crumbs

1 tbsp of water

3 tbsp olive oil

Salt and pepper

Soak the breadcrumbs in water. Grate the zucchini, add salt, wait 10 minutes and squeeze out the water. Chop the nuts. Chop the sage. Mix everything and let it rest for 10 minutes. Heat a non stick pan on medium heat and add olive oil. Take a small handfull of the mixture and form a patty. Add to the olive oil and let it fry for like 1,5 minutes on each side. Try not to touch it while its frying, the can easily break.

FRESH TOMATO AND SPINACH SAUCE

6 tomatoes

3 scallions

A big handful of fresh spinach

1 small chili

1 clove of garlic

1 tbsp olive oil

Salt and pepper

Chop garlic, scallions and chili. heat a non stick pan, add olive oil and greens. While you fry it, chop the tomatoes in sloppy pieces. Add the tomatoes and cook until the sauce is as thick as you wish. Before serving, add spinach, salt and pepper

Eat with all above.

So. Zucchini, sage, sun choke, spinach in motljus. Its so beautiful I would like to cry.

Super exiting. This is how you grate a zucchini.

And this is how you make the water to go away. You put the grated zucchini in a colander/strainer and add salt. Wait for 10 minutes and then squeeze the water out.
