Avocado Chocolate Brownies ~ 鳄梨巧克力布朗尼


These fudgy and gooey brownie squares are not only pretty to look at with swirls of peanut butter but they are delicious as well.  This is a healthy brownie recipe as I've replaced butter with avocado and used wholemeal flour instead.

Ingredients

  • 2 medium size ripe avocados, cubed
  • 2 eggs
  • 150 ml honey
  • 75 gm wholemeal flour

  • 2 Tbsp peanut butter
Method
  1. In a blender or food processor, combine avocado, eggs, honey and vanilla till smooth.
  2. Whisk wholemeal flour with baking powder and cocoa powder.
  3. Fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until a batter forms.  Pour the the batter into a parchment lined 8 x 8 inch baking pan.  
  4. Soften the peanut butter in the microwave for a few seconds, then drop dollops on the batter and swirl.
  5. Bake in a preheated oven @ 180 deg.C for 20 to 30 mins.

  7. Remove from oven and let cool before slicing up to serve.

Herbal Jelly ~ Gui Ling Gao

H erbal Jelly ~ Gui Ling Ga o literally translated means 'Tortoise Jelly' is one of my family's favourite desserts.  It's much more economical to prepare this at home for you'll need to fork out between Rm 9 to Rm 11 for a bowl of this cooling dessert in any of those herbal tea outlets.  This soothing jelly, served chilled, is supposed to be able to help reduce our body heat, helps to get rid of toxins and is believed to be good for the skin thus culminating a healthier complexion.

Braised Pork Belly with Mui Choy ~ 梅菜焖五花肉

Mui Choy is preserved mustard greens and there are two types, one is salty while the other is sweet.  There are many ways of cooking mui choy with pork belly.  Instead of braising, you can steam it with minced pork but here I am using only the sweet mui choy and I braised the pork belly with it.  This is a flavourful dish and you can serve it with plain rice or plain porridge.
