Fruity Treat

Some of you have been asking me what do I get as a treat on the low GI diet. It varies, from a piece of dark 85% chocolate to a piece of muffin with tahini. Here is a fresh recipe great for those hot summer days, which we don't have much here in Gillam. Today, it is 16 C outside!

I have used some strawberries and rhubarb, one of the few vegetable things that is growing healthy here. I picked a few pieces outside yesterday and I created this recipe:

-3 cups of fresh rhubarb stalks cut in small pieces in 1/2 cup of water
-3 cups of fresh strawberries
-3 tbsp of Agave syrup
-1 1/2 cup soy milk
- 1tsp vanilla
-2 tsp of agar-agar (or a pack of gelatin)

Cook the rhubarb cut in small pieces in the 1/2 cup of water (5 min in microwave work). Add a cup of strawberries sliced and heat another two minutes until the rhubarb and the strawberries become a uniform texture. Heat soy milk and the agar-agar to dissolve it completely. Add to the fruits with vanilla and agave syrup. Cut the remaining strawberries, and put around the container close to the edges, and in the mixture.

Put in the fridge for a few hours and turn over to make a nice jelly cake.

Enjoy! )
