Macadamia, Brazil Nut, Fig and Cacao Trail Bars

Oct 22, 2020

To celebrate National Nut Day 2020 we have teamed up with our friends Nutcellars and top chef Hayden Groves (Twitter: @Hayden1974 / Insta: haydenkgroves) to create this heavenly tasty, yet surprisingly healthy Trail Bar, packed with delicious, sustainably sourced ingredients, to give you the perfect energy boost whenever you need it! Hayden said of the challenge that was set to him: “I love using nuts in my recipes, they are not just a fantastic source of protein, vitamin E, omega 3 and 6, and essential minerals and fibre but they are truly delicious too. You can elevate this bar further for a café offering by rolling the mix a little thinner and topping with a salted peanut brittle for even more texture and variation.”     Ingredients: 90g dried Dates  90g Dried figs – 45g Almonds 45g Brazil nuts  – 30g cocoa powder Generous Pinch of sea salt 60g Nutcellars Macadamia nut butter (Crunchy)  45g Agave syrup or Honey 1/2th tsp of espresso or fresh ground coffee 1 Orange – Finely grated Zest – 90g Porridge oats 1tbsp sesame seeds, toasted 2tbsp Sunflower seeds, toasted 30g dried cranberries 90g lightly toasted Nutcellars macadamia nuts   Method: Cover the dried fruit in boiling water, soak for 10 mins and drain  Lightly toast the almonds and brazils, cool and pulse in a small bender until a coarse texture.

Salted Caramel Millionaire’s Shortbread with Rosemary & Cashew Nuts

Salted Caramel Millionaire’s Shortbread with Rosemary & Cashew Nuts

Feb 25, 2019

The title of this recipe is a bit of a mouthful but it is possibly one of the best and most indulgent things I’ve ever made. Just the rosemary and salt alone make a delicious bite but in this recipe I’ve opted for ultimate decadence and have thrown in salted cashew nuts after being sent some to experiment with from Liberation Nuts.

 This recipe was originally created by Vicky Bhogal’s and features in her latest book, Cooking Like Mummyji, published by Grub Street.   “This is a recipe that would celebrate Liberation Fairtrade nuts in a truly regal way! Use any chopped nuts that you fancy, peanuts and cashews would be lovely, for example. When I was little, I used to marvel as to how this was made. The trick is to always use powder colours, not liquid, which are available from Indian grocery stores and online, and make sure to steam very gently. With the addition of butter, cloves, cardamom, cinnamon, pomegranate and mint leaves, you have what looks like a plate of fragrant multicoloured royal jewels and is perfect for a dinner party to impress! My British Asian upbringing instilled in me the importance of being able to work to better yourself and the lives of your family, so I have been hugely passionate about Fairtrade for many years, and expressed my commitment to empowering small scale producers not just through my daily choices as a consumer but also by creating the book A Fair Feast, which was published in 2005 by Simon and Schuster and became part of the Make Poverty History Campaign. This book of delicious recipes bursting with Fairtrade ingredients was my little way of supporting the producers I so admire, and 100% of the proceeds went directly to the cause, half to the Fairtrade Foundation and half to Oxfam‘s Make Trade Fair, raising over £100,000.”   Click here to win a signed copy of Vicky’s latest cookery book, the iconic bestseller Cooking Like Mummyji with Liberation!...
