Chick Pea Balls Mother’s recipe instructions are in bold, what I actually do is in italics.8oz Dried Chick Peas or 400gram tin Pre-cooked chick peas3oz Breadcrumbs1 small Onion1 small Garlic ClovePinch of Garam Marsala (or mace)½ teaspoon marjoram, oregano or mixed herbs (I tend to go with oregano)Water to cook the Chick Peas1 EggSalt and Pepper Soak peas overnight and cook for 1½-2 hours. Drain and mash (retain some of the water). Drain tin of chick peas and whiz around in the food processorFinely chop onion and crush garlic – cook a couple of minutes in a little oil. Process the onion and garlic, I put them in the mixture raw to cut down on fatAdd to the peas with crumbs and other ingredients, mix well. Roll into small balls with floured hands. I don’t use flourCoat with egg and crumbs and fry in hot oil until golden. I don’t coat them with egg and crumbs, calories again, or fry. I spray with a little oil and cook them in the oven at gas mark 7 for about 35 minutes. The above picture shows them at about 30 minutes as I’m finishing them tomorrow.

Food as Medicine: Raw Chocolate Mousse
No, I am not crazy. You read correctly. A healthy chocolate mousse. 
Cacao is good for your brain. I am not talking about the processed chocolate that has lost many of its nutrients. I am talking about using high quality cocoa powder or 99 – 95% bars. Cacao has a high level of antioxidants, and is one of the highest dietary sources of magnesium. It is also a source of serotonin, dopamine and phenylethylamine, which are said to help alleviate depression and increase feelings of well-beingThis is a dairy free recipe. A raw version. You will not believe how good this is!I was skeptical myself at first. I read the recipe and thought “no way!”.But I made it and I swear to you: It is the most amazing recipe. It taste just like (or even much better than) the “real” thing. You can use it for icing cakes and cupcakes, as a pie filling or serve it with slices of fruit (strawberry and banana are great options).Please give it a try. Trust me. It takes 10 minutes to make.(And after licking the spoon clean and fighting with your husband (or children) for the last bite let me know what you think.)The recipe is @ Cantina di Dom Fuas
