Pizza Night With Real Mozzarella and Sugar Free Marinara Sauce

Pesto with tomato and sweet potato

With the abundance of basil we were able to make a modified version of pesto - parmesan cheese from the city and minus the pine nuts makes for a pretty good sauce to put on bread.  Yeast is available in the market so tonight we will be trying out for the first time to make bread over a charcoal fire.  With the readily available tomatoes, garlic, onion and bell peppers we should have a pretty decent pizza/flat bread.

Cinnamon and sugar

Falafel Recipe

(1) can chickpeas

1 cup bean sprouts

2 small red onions

1/2 head roasted garlic

1 bunch green onions

5 calamansi (juiced)

1TBS cumin

1tsp cayenne pepper

1tsp nutmeg

salt and pepper to taste

1 egg

1/4c flour plus additional flour for coating

1/4c bread crumbs

Blend all ingredients in blender or food processor except for egg, flour and bread crumbs.  Once the ingredients are blended stir in the egg, flour and bread crumbs.  Once the batter is mixed form balls - the batter should stay in this form.  Add more flour or bread crumbs if it doesn't hold.  Roll the ball in flour to coat.  Fry balls until golden brown.
