    SNACKS & SMALL MEALS

    You must know the feeling: you’re feeling a little peckish, but sometimes it’s even too long to wait until the next meal.

    This chapter contains lots of different recipes for both situations, ranging from herb muffins with a cream cheese filling to asparagus tartare with caper sauce.

    HAM AND LEEK MUFFINS

    PREPARATION TIME: approx. 20 minutes (plus cooking and baking time)

    Per muffin approx. 180 kcal / 756 kJ

    7 g P, 9 g F, 18 g CH

    MAKES 12 MUFFINS

    4 slices cooked ham

    2 leeks

    80 ml rapeseed oil

    salt and black pepper

    pinch of nutmeg

    2 eggs

    100 g herb quark

    100 ml buttermilk

    150 g plain wheat flour

    150 g wholemeal

    wheat flour

    2 tsp baking powder

    ½ tsp baking soda

    1Finely dice the ham. Wash and trim the leek and cut into thin rings. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a non-stick pan and sauté the leek. Season with salt, pepper and nutmeg.

    2Put the eggs in a bowl with the remainder of the oil, the quark and buttermilk, and stir well until combined.

    3Pre-heat the oven to 180 °C (Gas Mark 4). Combine the flours, baking powder and baking soda. Put the dry flour mixture in with the wet ingredients and stir. Fold in the diced ham and sliced leeks.

    4Put 12 paper cases in a muffin tin and spoon the dough into each one until three-fourth full. Bake in the pre-heated oven for about 25 minutes.

    TIP

    Leeks contain lots of minerals such as potassium, calcium and iron, vitamins B6, K and C, provitamin A, folic acid and niacin. Niacin is important for the regeneration of skin, muscles and nerves.

    HERB MUFFINS WITH A CREAM CHEESE FILLING

    PREPARATION TIME: approx. 25 minutes (plus baking time)

    Per muffin approx. 257 kcal / 1077 kJ

    7 g P, 15 g F, 23 g CH

    MAKES 12 MUFFINS

    2 eggs

    120 ml rapeseed oil

    200 g yoghurt

    ½ tsp salt

    200 g wholemeal wheat flour

    200 g plain wheat flour

    2 tsp baking powder

    1 tsp baking soda

    25 g mixed herbs (frozen)

    120 g herb cream cheese

    1Break open the eggs and beat lightly in a bowl. Add the oil, yoghurt and salt and whisk it all until well combined.

    2Pre-heat the oven to 180 °C (Gas Mark 4). Combine the flours, baking powder and baking soda. Stir the flours and herbs into the egg mixture.

    3Now put 12 paper cases in a muffin tin and spoon the dough into each one until two-thirds full. Then put 1 teaspoon of the herb cream cheese onto the uncooked muffins, and top with the remainder of the dough. Bake in the middle of the oven for about 25 minutes.

    CUCUMBER RAITA

    PREPARATION TIME: approx. 25 minutes (plus standing time)

    Per portion approx. 236 kcal / 991 kJ

    5 g P, 21 g F, 7 g CH

    SERVES 4

    1 cucumber

    200 g sour cream

    200 g yoghurt

    4 tbsp double cream

    ½ bunch coriander

    ½ bunch mint

    2 green chillies

    1 red chilli pepper

    salt and pepper

    1 tsp each of cumin, mustard, coriander and black cumin seeds

    coriander and mint to garnish

    1Wash, dry and trim the cucumber and finely chop the flesh.

    2Combine the sour cream, yoghurt and double cream and add to the diced cucumber. Wash and dry the herbs. Finely chop the leaves and add to the cucumber mixture. Wash the chillies, then cut in half lengthways and de-seed. Cut into slices and add to the other ingredients. Season well with salt and pepper, then place in the refrigerator for about 20 minutes.

    3Dry-fry the remainder of the spices in a pan until you can just smell the seeds and they start to burst open. Sprinkle over the cucumber raita, and serve garnished with the coriander and mint leaves.

    TIP

    You might think that cucumber raita is the Far East’s answer to tzatziki, but it is actually a lot finer. Of course, you can add and play with the amount of garlic you use.

    TOAST WITH RED LENTIL PASTE

    PREPARATION TIME: approx. 15 minutes (plus cooking time)

    Per slice approx. 123 kcal / 516 kJ
