Re: Dr. Megson - Results- almond paste pizza

[Guest guest]

Hello,

I got this recipe from the s website

http://www.healthfulliving.org/recipes/recipes/

but I changed it a bit. I just started making this and it works pretty well.

First, you have to have a good food processor. I got an " as seen on TV " " Ninja "

from bed bath and beyond, and it is wonderful(and cheap) but any powerful one

will do. My son has always had trouble with almonds due to the high phenols, but

I found out that soaking them first can help diminish that effect. Here is the

recipe:

soak a bag of GFCF organic almonds (whole foods or trader joes) in a glass bowl

overnight, in a pinch 2 hours is enough...then:

1 1/2 cup ground nuts

4 eggs

1tsp GFCF organic vanilla

1/2 tsp salt

1 to 2 jars of organic baby food pears (earth's best organic is the only one I

use)

Grind nuts in food processor until paste-like looking, remove nuts.

Blend eggs, vanilla and salt in food processor until smooth

Add ground nuts and blend again.

It will be a thick paste, add pears until a bit thinner

Don't panic it is thick and sticky.

Heat up pan, add GFCF butter (Earth Balance- Vegan and GF)

When hot, spoon a golf ball size or so and flatten a " pancake " into the pan cook

until light brown on each side.

I make these in pizza shapes, add GFCF pizza sauce from GFFOODS.com and some

turkey sausage, cookie sizes with some (a tiny bit) of powdered sugar for a

treat, thicker for sandwiches etc...

It takes a few to get it right. The original calls for baking soda & honey, but

soda usually has corn in it or isn't GFCF (contaminated facility that processes

it) & honey can increase his yeast so to be safe I make it without.

I eat these as well and they are good! Hope this helps. Enjoy!

PS: I am experimenting with hot dogs and this as batter. I figured, roll the dog

on a stick in this goop, deep fry, corn dog! I will let you know how it goes.

Thank you so much,

Hopefully I 'll get it right.

And the corn dog idea sounds great, too.

Thanks a lot,

Hi ,

Just curious since the topic of GFCF nuts is heavy on my mind right

now--what brand of GFCF organic almonds did you purchase at WFs? I was

there on New Year's Eve and could not find ONE brand of nuts--shelled or in

the shell--that didn't say they were processed at a facility that could be

cc'd with wheat and dairy (even WF's 365 brand). I left there so frustrated

and about to go NUTS, but w/out any edible nuts for my faux-whipped cream

recipe I was supposed to be making for a New Year's get-together.... I

would love to find a good source of GFCF nuts (almonds, pecans). Also

looking for " safe " cooking oils--olive, sesame, almond oils. COuldn't find

those at WF's either

Blessings,

~Robin

Ok, question. If the nuts are in the shell and you take them out, wash the

shell first. Do you think there is a huge issue with contamination issues? I

can see if they shell them?

Kind of the like not buying shredded cheese, understand.

If you really want to use a lot of almonds, try ordering from places like

www.justalmonds.com or other nut growers. Avoid gluten/casein cross

contamination by going directly to places that grow the nuts; or at least i hope

so!

Hello,

I made a mistake, I got the nuts from trader joes. But, I have a nut guy in van

nuys that I googled. They sell large amounts of them. I don't get them in a

shell, just in their skin and I soak them to ferment them and somehow decrease

the phenols. You are right, it is hard to find nuts without the warning about

facilities and milk/wheat. It didn't say it on my bag of nuts from traders. I am

with Pam, go online or to a farm. I think they have them at the farmers market

by me, but I can't get passed the pony rides since my son is getting better. He

is becoming more interested in everything and able to ask for stuff, very

different from the guy I could take everywhere and he would just sit in his

stroller. It's a good thing, but I am not used to an interactive 3 year old.

LOL.

I will check this weekend at the market. Let me know what you guys come up with.
