Liver Pâté Vehicle or Nut and Lingonberry Bread

Sometimes you just need something to put your liver pâté on and you don't fancy another carrot stick or cabbage leaf (although these are very good alternatives). That's when you bake some nut bread. This one is a bit lighter than our other go-to bread (Danish Paleo Bread).

Makes one loaf:

125 g nuts (e.g. almonds, cashew nuts, hazelnuts, walnuts)
125 g seeds (e.g. sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds)
2 tbs psyllium husk powder (available in health stores - "fiberhusk" in Swedish)
1/2 tsp salt
2 tsp baking powder
1 tbs cinnamon
6 eggs
200 ml coconut milk or cream
100 ml dried lingonberries (if you don't have any, then use any other dried berry or dried chopped fruit)

Blend the nuts and seeds in a food processor until you have some flour-like material, but still some small bits of nuts. Mix with psyllium husk powder, salt, baking powder and cinnamon. In a separate bowl whisk coconut milk and eggs. Then mix everything together and pour into a loaf tin lined with baking paper.

Bake for 80 minutes at 175 degrees, but start checking at 60 minutes.

Enjoy!

Filling a chest freezer or two

We finally decided to get another chest freezer. That makes two chest freezers, two normal freezers and two fridges. That sounds like a lot of capacity, but I am sure it will feel too small in a year’s time.

Most of the space is taken up by our bulk purchases of organic/ grass-fed meat. However, in a year’s time, we will need some of that space for our own meat! Although our rare breed lambs won’t be that big, an estimated 14 x 15-20 kg of lamb meat will probably fill up our freezers pretty quickly. 

These ladies will hopefully put a lot of food on our table (however macabre that may sound). 

In addition, we are currently topping up our freezers with all the berries that we can find. We’re preserving as well, but since we don’t use much sugar in our household, we would rather not try our luck by making preserve with ALL our berries, lest it should fail (low sugar/ honey content = more likely to spoil). We’re currently at 120 litres and counting, blueberries and lingonberries…

They're alright to pick, but cleaning is another thing...

Now we just need to find some space for the all the mushrooms we’re planning to pick!
