Cardamom Recipes

I had a bag full of plums from my farmer's market that were going to go bad soon, so I wanted to use them up. Came up with this yummy snack! This would make a divine fruit leather, as well, I imagine.

Sweet, low-fat granola bars with a zing of cardamom!

Leave uncovered for the last part of cooking, if cooking in the oven, for a skin to form if desired.

(NB. This can also be made on the stove top, wash and drain the rice and continue as per recipe, only instead of pouring it all into an oven proof dish, cook in saucepan. It will need continuious attention, stirring occasionally this way though, so as to ensure it doesn't burn or stick to base of pan.)

When I first came across this recipe, I could not believe that these ingredients could create a cake-like consistency. I was wrong. The cake is fluffy and light, and I cannot wait to try it with other citrus fruits. In this recipe, oranges provide vitamin C and antioxidants. Each egg provides approximately 5.5 grams of protein, adding substance to the cake. Lastly, almonds are high in vitamin E and magnesium, acting to lower cholesterol. This cupcake is gluten-free and adapted from one by New York Times food writer Martha Rose Shulman. The oranges can be prepared the day before and refrigerated overnight.

A delicious Finnish twist on cinnamon rolls. Not particularly healthy- that's probably why they're usually eaten only at Christmas.

Enjoy a cup of this delightfully fragrant Cardamom Tea! Try the mild recipe and if you care too, add some spice to make it a hot and spicy Cardamom Tisane!

Wonderful sugar cookie...perfect to enjoy with tea and coffee

This recipe is prepared in the Spanish-style in which saffron, peas, and quality rice make a side dish filling enough for a main course. The episode of Spain . . . on the Road Again with Mario Batali and Gwyneth Paltrow published the recipe for Paella and suggests some other ways this dish could be made even more flavorful with prawns, tomatoes, and authentic Spanish paprika.

Delicious healthy no-bake snack cookies! Vegan too. Not raw, but I bet could be easily adapted to be raw if you crazy like that.

My mom used to make these with coconut, peanut butter and carob nibs back in the days of yore. I Imagine her standing in our kitchen in a long ethnic type skirt when I make these :) Silly hippie.

The orange and cardamom give these cookies a unique, lightly spiced, floral taste. If I made them again, I'd add another half teaspoon of cardamom, but this recipe is perfectly balanced as is. Bon Appetit knows their stuff.

I've also used non-fat yogurt in place of the sour cream and get equally good results. For this nutritional calculation, I did use Egg Beaters and not real eggs. Up the cholesterol count to about 37 if using real eggs.

Found this recipe in a brownie cookbook - didn't expect the calories to be so low! Good alternative to banana bread when you keep some bananas around too long!
