NAMAZ OD ŠAMPINJONA I HELJDE - Ajme, koliko nas je

Ovaj simpatičan i zdrav namaz je moja ulaznica za igru Ajme koliko nas je, igru koju je osmislila i pokrenula Monsoon. Domaćica za ovaj mesec je Lusitania sa temom pečurke. Prvi put koristim heljdu u mojoj kuhinji, a mora vam priznati da sam ostala zatečena ovim divnim srcolikim plodovima koji su sami za sebe divan ukras iz prirode. Lekovita svojstva heljde su brojna, a više o tome možete pročitati ovde. Šampinjoni  ne spadaju u najcenjenije gljive, ali su svakako vredni pažnje. Šampinjoni imaju istu, ako ne i veću količinu antioksidanata kao i sve skuplje i izvikane gljive, tako da ih ne treba tako lako zanemariti. Njihova dostupnost i cena ne umanjuju njihovu lekovitu moć. Dokazano je da žene koje konzumiraju sveže gljive i zeleni čaj svakodnevno imaju 90% manje šanse da obole od karcinoma dojke.




Ukus ovog namaza, da se ne lažemo, nije za padanje u nesvest, ali je dobar način da se započne ili završi dan, a u isto vreme vodi računa o zdravlju. Idealan je za dane posta, a ukoliko se luk prodinsta na vodi može se koristiti i u danima posta na vodi. Oni malo probirljivi mogu dodati koju kašiku pavlake i majoneza namazu.




NAMAZ OD ŠAMPINJONA I HELJDE

200g šampinjona 
1 crni luka sitno sečen
2 kašike maslinovog ulja
200g zrna heljde
800ml vode
3 lista lovora
pola kašičice suve mirođije
biber
so
1 ravna kašičica suvog začina
1 kašičica mlevenog kima
1 kašika senfa
2 kašike seckanog peršunovog lista
3 kisela krastavca

 
Heljdu staviti u 800ml vode, pa dodati suvi začin, kim, lovor, i biber. Od momenta ključanja kuvati još 25 minuta na srednjoj vatri. Heljda će upiti svu tečnost i ostati rastresita. Izvaditi lovor. Propržiti luk na ulju uz dodavanje vode ili možete početi sa većom količinom ulja. Dodati mu seckane šampinjone, pa pržiti dok ne ispari sva tečnost iz pečuraka. Ohladiti šampinjone i heljdu, pa ih spojiti i dodati senf, biber, so i svež peršun. Dodati rendane krastavčiće. Samleti u multipraktiku ili na mašini za mlevenje mesa.


 
BUCKWHEAT AND MUSHROOM SPREAD

This healthy spread is my ticket entry for a food bloggers's game Ajme koliko nas je, a game that was started by our fellow blogger Monsoon. Our hostess is Lusitania and she gave us a theme for this month, mushrooms. This is the first time that I have used buckwheat in my kitchen and I must tell you I  fell in love with these heart shaped seeds, a perfect gift from nature. Health benefits of using buckwheat are numerous and you can read about it here.  Button mushrooms, since they are widely used and are of the cultivated kind, are not appreciated as much as some rare and wild mushrooms.  They have the same amount of antioxidants as their more expensive relatives, so they should not be tossed aside so lightly. In clinical trials it has been shown that they reduce the amount of estrogen and can help in the fight against breast cancer.


200g of sliced button mushrooms
1 onion finely chopped
2 tablespoons of olive oil
200g buckwheat seeds
800ml of water
3 bay leaves
half a teaspoon of dry dill
Knorr stock cube
pepper
salt
1 teaspoon of ground cumin
1 tablespoon of mustard
2 tablespoons of cut parsley
3 shredded pickles
 
Place buckwheat seeds in a pot and pour 800ml of water over it. Add the Knorr stock cube, bay leaves, cumin and pepper to it. Place on a stove and cook for 25 minutes from the moment it starts to boil. The buckwheat will absorb all of the liquid. Take the bay leaves out.  Fry the onion on olive oil adding a bit of water or extra oil until they are translucent. Add the mushrooms and fry until they are done and all the water has evaporated. Cool the mushrooms and the cooked buckwheat. Place mushrooms, buckwheat, mustard, salt, pepper, parsley and pickles in a food processor.Turn into a paste. Serve with crackers or whole wheat bread.
