Vegan Cooking Demo with Brava oven was lots of fun and delicious!

We roasted beautiful beetroots in Brava oven in just 15 minutes and made 3 yummy dishes: 1) savory beetroot ginger vegan spread, 2) arugula salad with candied beets, shaved fennel and French radishes and 3) flatbread with arugula, candied beets, shaved fennel, French radishes and Moroccan black olives, which were enjoyed by the demo attendees with a glass of delicious French wine, the Les Deux Moulins Pinot Noir!

The savory beetroot ginger vegan spread as a unique holiday gift (Christmas in a Jar), pic. 4 was well received, which we raffled a jar of, in addition to a delicious bottle of Pinot Noir 2014 Coast Grade from Partage Winery.

Savory Beetroot Ginger Vegan Spread Recipe:

Ingredients (serving size 6):

6 small red beetroots

1 can Italian butter beans (drained & rinsed)

1/4 cup pistachios (chopped into small pieces)

1/2 cup olive oil

1/4 tsp. sea salt

1/2 ground cumin

1 tbsp. Meyer lemon rinds

1/4 cup fresh Meyer lemon juice

1 tsp. peeled and chopped (small pieces) fresh ginger

Instructions:

1. Cut off the root and the stem ends of beets, peel the skin using a vegetable peeler or paring knife, Wash and pad dry beets with paper towel.

2. Dice beets into small chunks, put them in a plate, drizzle half of the olive oil, cumin, a pinch of see salt and toss them with a spatula, pic 5.

3. Arrange the diced beets on Brava oven tray in all 3 zones, pic 6.

4. place the tray on the bottom section of the oven and roast for 15 minutes using the instructions on the cooking panel: Vegetables>>Beets>>Small (please note: the roasting/cooking time on Brava oven cooking panel is set for the whole small beets, but since these are diced, they’ll cook a lot faster and in a shorter period of time (set up a timer for 15 minutes).

5. Remove beets from the oven and let them cool for 30 minutes.

6. In a food processor, combine roasted beets, butter beans, ginger, sea salt, Meyer lemon juice and the rest of the olive oil. Process until the mixture is, pic 6. 

Spread: Place the mixture in a bowl and garnish with crushed pistachios, a few Meyer lemon rinds and a drizzle of olive oil. Enjoy your beetroot ginger vegan spread with pita chips, wholegrain crackers, apple or pear slices and carrot sticks or any other fruits and veggies to your liking, pic 1.

Salad : You can also make a delicious arugula salad with candies beets, shaved fennel, French radishes, and crushed pistachios. For salad dressing, just use olive oil and Meyer lemon juice, pic. 2.

Flatbread: Put a layer of your delicious beetroot ginger spread on a flatbread, add some arugula (toss the arugula with a touch of olive oil and a pinch of sea salt), shaved fennel, French radishes, Moroccan black olives and sprinkle some crushed pistachios, pic. 3.

Enjoy & Happy Holidays!

Tackle Visual and Digital Clutter!

Overwhelmed with visual and digital clutter? Do these pictures look all too familiar to you? Well, you are not alone; we all have some form of a clutter. Visual and digital clutter have a direct impact on your efficiency, productivity, the power of decision making and ultimately your success. 

Get rid of them in two practical steps:

Step 1: Assess what’s on your desk - Ask yourself when looking at an item:

·                           Do I need it or use it regularly?

·                           Does it energize or inspire me?

·                           Does it enhance my efficiency and productivity?

·                           Does it contribute to my success and prosperity?

·                           Let go of those items that don’t pass.

Step 2: Declutter your computer and communication devices:

Get rid of useless apps, programs, old emails, VMs, etc. Organize desktop icons too.

Finally, the best thing you can do to deal with digital clutter is to designate as few as five minutes each day to deal with downloads, email, apps, and whatever else crosses your digital workspace. Get rid of what you don’t need immediately, so you don’t have to spend hours sifting through it down the road.
