What is... AGAR AGAR

This is made from seaweed and is ideal for vegetarians who prefer not to use gelatin, which is made using animal bones and tissue. You can buy agar agar as flakes or as a powder. Although more expensive, flakes are tge more natural product as they undergo less processing.

Agar agar has more setting power than gelatine, and sets well at room temperature whereas gelatin must be chilled. Like gelatin e , though, avoid using agar agar with fresh fruits such as kiwi, papaya, pineapple, mango and peaches as their enzymes prevent it from setting.

Tuna and tomato pasta

-4 cloves of garlic, diced
-olive oil
-2 cans of chopped tomatoes
-handful of fresh chopped flat-leaf parsley
-1 can tuna (in oil)

-pasta (penne or farfalle, etc.)

Sauté the garlic in the olive oil. Add the canned tomatoes and the chopped parsley, then simmer on the stove for 15-20 minutes. Season to taste. (While the tomatoes are simmering, boil the water for the pasta and cook the pasta for specified time.)

At the very last minute, after the pasta is cooked and drained, add the tuna and chopped basil to the simmering tomatoes. Toss everything into a large bowl and serve.

Carlo's Lite Banana Bread

Carlo's LITE Banana Bread
*****************************


INGREDIENTS:

2 cups flour (I only use whole-wheat flour but my wife says it tastes so "healthy"! You can mix with white flour or use white flour alone, depending on what you prefer.)

1 and 1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1 and 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1 cup apple sauce (I make my own in the restaurant; but when at home, I just use the ones bought in the supermarket.)

3 pieces very ripe bananas (The more ripe the bananas, the sweeter your bread will be.)

2 eggs

2 tablespoons low-fat yoghurt

4 tablespoons honey

1 teaspoon vanilla extract


PROCEDURE:

1. Pre-heat your oven to 175°C (350°F). If you have a convection oven, preheat to 150°C (300°F) only.

2. Mix flour, baking powder and baking soda in a bowl.

3. In another bowl, mash bananas with a fork. I like mine chunky, so I don't mash too much. Mix together applesauce, bananas, eggs, honey, vanilla extract and yoghurt.

4. Incorporate the two bowls together (dry ingredients with the wet ingredients). Mix just enough to bring the batter together. Do not overmix.

5. Place in a silicone-paper lined loaf tin and bake in the middle of your oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a knife comes out of the middle of the bread completely clean.

6. Remove the tin from the oven and allow to cool slightly before removing the bread from the tin and placing on a cooling rack to cool fully.

7. ENJOY!
