12 Kick into spring with a plant-based diet Alison Lambert has been balancing her weekly food budget by digging into her pantry and experimenting with pulses and grains, with warming results Panelle – Sicilian chickpea fritters Ingredients 230g chickpea flour 3 cups water, room temperature 2 Tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped 1 litre vegetable oil 1 lemon Sea salt flakes Freshly cracked black pepper PHOTOS: SIMON LAMBERT Directions Pour the water into a large bowl. Gradually add the flour, stirring constantly to remove all lumps. Pour the mixture into a saucepan, and cook over medium heat until thick like polenta or porridge. Remove from the heat and add salt and pepper to taste. Add the parsley and stir to combine. Have a clean chopping board or something similar ready. Pour the mixture immediately on to the board and spread evenly. Cover with baking paper and gently roll to a thickness of 4mm. Cool the dough for at least 2 hours to firm up. Cut the dough into rectangles sized 5cm x 3cm. Pour the oil into a deep-sided, heavybased pan. Heat to 170degC. Cook two to four panelle at a time – it is important not to overcrowd the pan. Fry until golden for 3 minutes then turn and cook for a further 3 minutes or until golden and puffy. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on kitchen paper. Continue until all the panelle are all cooked. Squeeze over a little lemon juice and sprinkle sea salt and pepper. Enjoy them as a tasty snack. continuing education Adult and Community Education Courses at Papanui High School As the weather gets warmer and the evenings get longer it is the ideal time to get out of the house and learn something new.

Quinoa crepes Makes 10 Ingredients 1½ cup quinoa 1½ cups filtered water 1 cup tightly packed greens such as spinach, silverbeet or kale 2 tsp coconut oil or olive oil 2 spring onions, roughly chopped ½ tsp salt ½ chilli Coconut oil for cooking Suggested toppings: Grated carrot and beets Tofu or tempeh Cashew or chickpea hummus Salad leaves Sprouts, seeds and nuts Directions Begin by generously covering the quinoa in cold water. Let sit for 12 hours at room temperature. Drain the quinoa and rinse. Place the quinoa, filtered water, greens, coconut oil, spring onions, salt and chilli in a blender. Blend until smooth. Pour the batter into a non reactive bowl and let sit at room temperature for at least 6-12 hours. You will notice little bubbles appearing on the surface. This is perfectly fine, in fact this is part of the fermentation process. This stage will help be kind on your gut. When ready to cook, place a medium sized fry pan over moderate heat. Add a little coconut oil and ladle or measure about ¼ cup, gently smooth out the crepe so it is a circle 12-15cm diameter. Cook for 3 minutes or until you see the crepe change colour, flip and cook the other side for 2 minutes more. Remove and repeat until the crepes are all cooked. You can eat these with a filling and roll up and enjoy, you can use as you would bread and scoop up dips etc. I like to have many tasty bowls of ingredients laden over the table and place the crepes around so you can assemble your own.
continuing education [Edition datE] 3 Thursday September 29 2022 13 Risingholme Community Centre sticking to their roots with new brand “Risingholme Learning” We are pleased to announce that Risingholme Community Centre is now trading as Risingholme Learning. The rebrand includes a rollout of a new logo and a new website. Our new brand pays homage to the last 75+ years, the present and is a `nod to the future’. The rebrand highlights Risingholme’s focus on the importance of lifelong learning. For over 75 years Risingholme Learning has operated under the same roof, with the same goals and values: to promote community spirit through face-to-face adult education. Although the centre has officially rebranded from `Risingholme Community Centre’ to ‘Risingholme Learning’ Director Lynda Megson, wants to ensure the message is still the same. “We’ve been running for over 75 years and plan to run for another 75+ years” Megson says. “We are continuing to provide the community opportunities to gain new skills, knowledge and experiences by providing a wide range of exciting courses at different locations across the city. Every term, we have over 800 enrolments, so the demand for learning new things is a priority for many” Megson says. “The Risingholme homestead and park in Opawa is still our base and so acknowledges our history. We have kept our green colour and the ‘R’ of our name to reflect the park and previous branding and are using one of our park’s trees to better reflect our mission. Our own ‘tree of life’ represents the relationships we nurture with our communities: growth, learning, connections, enjoyment, and strength, all held within the maturity of our 75+ years of operation. We believe our rebrand is a fresh way of communicating this” Megson says. With term 4 fast approaching, it’s the perfect time to check out our new website and see the amazing variety of courses. Most of Risingholme Learning courses start the week of Monday 17 October 2022. Check individual course starting dates on the website. Come learn with us!
