Chili Oil Recipe
Ingredients
• 2 tbs sesame seeds
• 1 cup neutral vegetable oil with high smoke point (sunflower or peanut)
• 2 cloves garlic, whole and squashed slightly (use a knife handle)
• 1 inch chunk ginger, peeled
• 1⁄2 cup chilli flakes
• 1 bay leaf
• 1 stick cinnamon
• 1 whole star anise
• 2-3 whole dried red chillies (Asian Grocers)
• 1 teaspoon Sichuan pepper (Asian Grocers, if you can't fine, sub with black pepper)
• 1 teaspoon Chinese five-spice powder
• 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
• 1⁄2 teaspoon black vinegar (Asian Grocers)
Method
1. Heat a pot over high heat and toast the sesame seeds, tossing them in the pot until they are
golden grown. Pour the sesame seeds into a heat-safe bowl. In the bowl add the chilli flakes, bay leaf, cinnamon stick, star anise, chillies, Sichuan pepper powder, Chinese five-spice powder, salt, black vinegar and MSG if you’re using this. Set aside.
2. In the same pot, add the oil, garlic and ginger and heat on medium-high. When the garlic and ginger turn golden brown, remove these and continue heating until you reach about 120 degree which should be about the same time the ginger and garlic start browning.
3. Pour the oil over the chilli mix and allow to cool completely.
4. Transfer the mixture into an air-tight jar and store in the fridge.

Chickpea Flour Gravy
4 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon mixed herbs
½ teaspoon dried thyme
¼-½ teaspoon black pepper
1 cup of chickpea flour (besan flour)
3 cups water
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 tablespoons soy sauce
¼ cup nutritional/savoury yeast (optional)
Sauté the first 4 ingredients in a saucepan for a minute or so. Add the chickpea flour and continue to sauté until lightly toasted. Take off the heat and allow to cool a little, to help prevent lumps forming in the gravy! Using a whisk add the water gradually. Return to heat and bring to a boil to thicken. Add the lemon juice, soy sauce and nutritional yeast and stir in thoroughly. (This tasty gravy can be used with many main dishes.)
Gravy will keep in the fridge for up to 7 days. It will thicken when cooled so just add more water, whisk and then heat it up.

Chocolate Salami
Ingredients:
1 400g packet of digestive biscuits or plain biscuits of your choice
1 cup mixed nuts roasted or raw or nut of your choice, you may like to add only pistachios or almonds for example
2 cups dark chocolate, block or chips, anything goes
1 cup coconut cream
Method:
In a large plastic bag, beat the biscuits into small pieces using a rolling pin
Coarsely chop the nuts, I only cut the large nuts like Brazil nuts and walnuts roughly, I like it chunky.
Heat the chocolate and cream in the microwave or in a double boiler until just melted, don’t overdo it, you don’t want to cook the chocolate.
Add the biscuits and nuts to the chocolate and mix well
Spread out a large piece of plastic wrap and pour the mix into a rough log shape Gently roll the log up so it is tightly wrapped
Secure each end tightly like a lolly wrapper
Refrigerate until firm
Once firm, unwrap, roll in icing sugar and slice
This would make approx. 26 slices depending on how thick you cut the slices Would last in the fridge for 2 weeks and it also freezes well.
