Discover this typical gluten-free healthy dessert recipe that comes from Ancient Egypt.
Historically, the main ingredient for this dessert is tiger nuts which, together with honey and fruit, have been an essential sweetener in ancient Egyptian bakery and confectionery.
In Dokki Agriculture Museum in Cairo, there are tiger nuts illustrations from various periods of Ancient Egypt and the nuts found in tombs of all ages are said to have been used as a dessert.
The recipe of this dessert can be read from the representations on the wall of the tomb of an ancient Egyptian noble named Rekhmire.
I have recreated the proportions of the recipe of this cake based on another ancient Greek recipe based on flaxseed and honey, with a modern twist, since I`m using Bsisa Harmonia as a base which contains the tiger nut, almond, flaxseed hulled hemp seed meal and ancient Egyptian spices such as Aniseed and fennel seeds.

The pharaoh's favourite cake 

Combine all the ingredients in a large saucepan and bring to a boil while constantly mixing everything with a wooden spoon. Simmer it on low heat until it thickens and is obtained. It must smell toasted, not burnt when thoroughly cooked; it will start emitting a pleasant smell.
Generally, after 10 minutes, the mixture will become really thick and taste less sweet than initially.

Pour the mixture onto a plate and let it cool enough to touch it by hand and become slightly more solid.
It will take about 25 minutes for the mixture to solidify enough to be moulded into a shape.

With your hands, shape the mixture into small cones and place it onto a ceramic plate. Wait until the cake cools to room temperature. To speed up the cooling process, put it into the refrigerator.

To make the mochi : Combine the rice flour and sugar in a microwave-proof bowl. Add water and mix until combined. Microwave it for 1 minute, stir, then microwave for another one more minute. Stir, then heat again for 30 seconds. Stir until it thickens and comes together.

Flour work surface with potato starch or cornstarch. Put the mochi on top and cut it into 12 pieces. Flatten the mochi into a circle (use more cornstarch if needed).

Wrap the strawberries with Bsisa paste. Put some cornstarch on your hands. Place flattened mochi dough and put the covered strawberry on it (with the tip facing down). Wrap it and pinch the bottom closed.

Add the buttermilk and water to the flour mixture and mix well and keep aside for 15 mins.

Heat the pan, then add the Ajowan seeds; let them heat for few seconds until the seeds crackle, which helps to draw out their flavour and allows their qualities to permeate through a dish.

Now add the chopped onion, ginger, cilantro, capsicum, carrot, chilli powder, turmeric powder, and the toasted ajowan to the batter and mix well.

Heat the Tawa or non-stick pan and wipe it with little olive oil .

When the pan becomes medium hot, pour a ladle full of batter on the Tawa and gently spread it thinly. Take care that it will not break while spreading.

Let it cook on medium to low heat till the top looks dry. Then drizzle a tsp of olive oil o over and around the edges of the pancakes, and then flip it over

Cook from the other side and drizzle a tsp oil around the edges, so the bottom sides also become nice and golden.

Bsisa Chilla Recipe

These delicious crisp, golden walnut-shaped cookies filled with a very creamy, caramelly dulce de leche still reminding me of a lovely episode of my childhood in Czech.
These are perfect treats for holidays events like Easter or Christmas. Lovely food gift with a caramelly surprise inside!
I experimented with the following recipe using the Bsisa products as a partial flour substitute to give the cookies more special and unique flavours.
To cook these cookies, you may need a particular walnut cookie-shaped mould.
Unfortunately, it is pretty hard to find such walnut-shaped cookies moulds in the shopping centres in Australia. So I bought the non-stick electric walnut cake online.

You may find similar online like this one on  

Russian

Revisited Oreshki : The Dulce De Leche filled Walnut Shaped Bsisa Cookies

In a bowl of a stand mixer, combine all the ingredients for the shells (butter, powdered sugar, egg yolks, flours, baking soda, salt) and continue mixing for about 4 minutes until it clumps up and forms a chunky dough. 

Wrap the dough with plastic food wrap. Refrigerate dough for 30 min or up to 2 days if planning to bake these later.

Fill one teaspoon with dough, and then scoop it out with your finger. Roll egg-shaped dough balls. Make at least 24 to fill all the moulds (depending on what is your mould maker ). 

This is the fastest and easiest way to make dough balls. It will ensure all cookies are similar and the excess dough is not oozing out of the walnut cookies maker. In addition, you will have enough cookie scraps for the filling.

Preheat the walnut cookies maker. Once it is ready, place one ball into each cookie mould and gently press to close the lid.
Press just until clicked (same principle as with the electric pie maker ).
Bake for 2 minutes; the shells should be yellow-ish to lightly golden. Keep rolling the dough balls for another round while these are baking.

Remove baked cookie shells to a clean tray using a fork. Repeat the previous step until all the shells are baked. Then, trim the edges of each cookie for a perfect shape. 

To fill the cookies, you can either fill a ziplock bag with the filling and fill half of the cookie shells by squeezing about two teaspoons into each half or use a teaspoon and fill half of the shells.

Place the matching half on top of the filled half and squeeze them together. If the filling squeezes out the sides, scrape it with a knife or a spoon.
Let the filled cookies rest in a tightly closed box in the fridge overnight. This will make the cookie shell-less crumbly as they are eaten.

For a fresh approach to party nibbles, I offer you these magic little savouries that can be served warm from the oven or, if made in advance, frozen, defrosted and reheated.

Gruyere Muffins with roasted garlic and Bsisa

Turn on your oven to 180ºC or Gas Mark 4. Place the garlic cloves (still in their skins) in foil, drizzle with a bit of oil, and place in the oven (as it heats up) for 20 minutes. Remove and leave to cool.

In a large bowl, mix the dry ingredients, flours, baking powder, most cheese (hold back a few tablespoons for sprinkling later), rosemary, thyme and salt.

In a jug, beat together the wet ingredients, eggs (silken tofu), buttermilk (the water and the vegan sower cream mix), and oil. 

Remove the garlic cloves from their skins by chopping off the root end and squeezing the insides out. Add this garlic paste to the wet ingredients and beat. If any large lumps of garlic remain, squash them with a fork.

Add half of the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and fold together gently to combine. Gradually add the rest of the wet ingredients until just combined. Be very careful not to over-mix (don't use a food mixer. Your muffins will end up heavy and dense).

Divide the mixture between six muffin cases, and sprinkle with the remaining gruyére. Bake for 20 minutes or until an inserted skewer comes out clean.

In a blender or food processor, add your coconut milk and blend until smooth and creamy. Next, add your Bsisa and dates and blend until a thick and creamy texture remains.

Transfer the ice cream to the loaf pan. To ensure it doesn't become too icy, lightly mix your ice cream every 20-30 minutes for the first hour.

To enjoy it soft-serve style, let it thaw to desired texture

These sweet potato brownies are soft, gooey, and oh-so-chocolatey! So simple but delicious; they are gone in seconds!

Vegan Fudgy Bsisa Brownies  

To make sweet potato purée, halve sweet potato and brush the cut sides with oil (optional). Add to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake at 190°C  for about 25-30 minutes or until tender to the touch. Move to one side of the pan and wrap the parchment paper over the top to steam. Let steam for 5 minutes. Then peel away skin and mash in a mixing bowl (or food processor). Set aside.

Adjust oven temperature to 180 °C and line a Brownie Pan 20cm (or similar-size pan) with baking paper. Set aside.

To a large mixing bowl, add sweet potato purée, maple syrup, almond butter, vanilla extract, and oil and stir to combine.

Add cacao powder, sea salt, and baking powder and stir to combine. Then add oat Bsisa and stir until a thick, scoopable batter is achieved

Transfer batter to your pan and spread into an even layer using a spoon or rubber spatula. Then top with walnuts and chocolate chips (optional)

Bake on the centre rack at 180°C for 30 minutes. The brownie edges should appear slightly dry, and a toothpick inserted into the centre should come out mostly clean (a few crumbs are okay, but it shouldn’t be overly gooey). Remove from oven and let cool in the pan for 30 minutes – 1 hour.

Lift out of pan and slice.  These brownies are delicious on their own but elevated with a scoop of ice cream and salted caramel.

Store leftovers covered at room temperature up to 3 days, in the refrigerator up to 5-7 days, or in the freezer up to 1 month.
