Next term I am going to be competing in a cooking competition online. For our school there will be around 3 - 4 teams competing. On the night we will be given 10 mystery ingredients and we have to use 8 of them, we will also ave the pantry essential (e.g. oil, butter, flour, sugar)
So on a Thursday lunchtimes we do some research for substitute ingredients that we could swap with core ingredients and on Friday afternoons we do some experimenting. Last Thursday we were given 6 tins (green peas, chickpeas, red kidney beans, corn, apple and beetroot) we had to find out what they could each replace as. On Friday we made a recipe substituting 80g of the tinned variety and with 60g flour, 60g eggs, 60g sugar and 60g fat (butter). The recipe had to total in 240g which meant there was a bit of maths behind it.
Luna and I paired up and decided to make Red Kidney Bean, Beetroot and Apple Muffins because there were so many groups we only made a very small batch each so that we could sample each others. I found ours were fluffy, sweet but not overly sweet, a little crunchy on top and had a pretty pink colour. I sampled another pairs which were Chickpea, Beetroot and Apple Muffins and theirs had the same attributes except were a little more sweet. I tried one lot that just tasted of a green pea and had not a cakey taste at all!
I have shared the recipe with you down below and converted some of the ingredients into cups as best I could. Do you think you would try our muffins?
Hello Zara,
ReplyDeleteThis is recipe for Red kidney beans, Beetroot and apple muffins. I think this recipe can be very helpful when actually making those items. Did you think about adding the instructions on how to make apple muffins, and was this recipe hard to follow?
Keep up the good work!
Kia Ora Oliver,
DeleteThank you for taking the the time to comment on this post.
The recipe was not hard to follow because we made it up ourselves, but it was definitely tricky to get the ingredients to add up to 240 grams and have an equal amount of sugar, fat, flour and egg.
The method to making these muffins: melt the butter, beat the eggs and combine it with all the other ingredients then spoon the mixture evenly into lined muffin tins and cook until golden and when a skewer when inserted comes out clear.
Hope this was helpful.
