Hey guys
Hope all is well and the summer heat isn’t too much to handle.
Down at The Cycle Bistro we have made a few changes.
Finally, after 3 years of dominating the Paleo scene in Dubai, we have decided to deliver.
Along with that we have also started a Paleo meal plan which can also be delivered directly to your door.
We hope that you have all enjoyed your summer break and welcome you all back to try out our new menu starting at the end of this month.
Here is a devilishly good recipe from our new menu for you to try out at home.
INGREDIENTS
Brownies
1 cup of walnuts
1 cup of cashew nuts
1 cup of pistachio nuts
3 cups of dates
1 cup of cocoa powder
A dash of sea salt
Topping
Quarter of a cup of almond milk
50 g of at least 70% dark chocolate
(make sure it’s dairy free)
Quarter of a cup cocoa powder
1tbsp of maple syrup
2 tbsp coconut oil
Sea salt
METHOD
Place all of the nuts, apart from a few walnuts, into the blender and pulse until a powder is formed.
Remove and place in a bowl and sift in the cocoa powder and salt. Mix well.
In the meantime, place the dates in the blender and pulse until they are broken down into little pieces.
Remove the dates and set aside and then place the nut and cocoa powder mixture back into the blender. Add the dates a little bit at a time whilst pulsing until a nice dough is formed.
Remove and set aside and break the remaining walnuts into small pieces and add to the mixture.
Line a baking dish with baking paper and grease with a little bit of coconut oil.
Scoop the dough into the baking dish and flatten into the shape of the dish.
To make the sauce, place the almond milk in a saucepan and allow to cook over a medium heat. Add the chocolate and stir continuously until the chocolate melts. Add in the sifted cocoa powder, a little at a time, again stirring continuously. If the sauce seems too thick add more milk; if it seems too liquid add more cocoa powder. You are aiming for a thick pouring sauce. Once the desired consistency is achieved, add the maple syrup, plus a touch of sea salt and coconut oil, and stir in.
Remove the topping sauce from the heat and pour over the brownie mixture.
Don’t forget about our fortnightly cooking shows! The next one is on the 16th August.
