75 Things You Can Compost, But Thought You Couldn't
Informative and useful article about what you can put in your compost. I’ll bet there’s stuff on this list you didn’t know. I know I didn’t.
Swedish sponge cake
50 gram margarine (I usually use half of that and I actually prefer that)
4 1/2 deciliters (225 gram) wheat flour
3 deciliters (190 gram, I usually use 2 thirds of that amount) sugar
2 tsp vanilla (I always use 2 tblsp)
1 tblsp baking soda
2 1/2 deciliters soy milk
- Pre-heat the oven to 200 C (390 F) degrees
- Grease the pan (1 1/2 liter) and coat with breadcrumbs
- Mix the dry ingredients.
- Melt the margarine and add the soy milk.
- Mix it with the rest of the ingredients
- Bake it in the lower part of the oven for 25 minutes.
Tips for variants:
2 tbsps cocoa powder for chocolate cake
thin apple slices, dipped in sugar and cinnamon
Serve as it is or with thick or whipped soy cream or oat cream (or any other vegan cream you like).
Soya meat
1) Mix 2 dl soy flour and 1 dl water into a firm dough.
2) Split into four parts and roll them into four long ‘sausages’.
3) Pour about 1 cm of water into the pressure cooker. Put the ‘sausages’ in the basket.
4) Set the cooker to the highest pressure. When it’s up choose 10 minutes.
5) Cool and take out. Let the steam out, cut into pieces roughly as long as they are thick.
6)
a) Fry in frying pan and add spices. This is a little looser than ordinary soy meat.
b) Let dry in the oven for about 10 minutes, low heat. Fry in frying pan and season. A bit like soy chicken meat.
c) Dry in the oven at low heat, for several hours, preferably over night. The dried ‘meat’ can be used as ordinary soy meat.
