Scottish Multi-Grain Bread “Struan” Recipe

|

This bread in Scotland used to be baked on the eve of the feast of St. Michael, on September 29, when all the grain was removed. Bread was traditionally baked by the eldest daughter in the family from the grains of the fresh harvest. A mixture of different grains was used for “Struan”: rye, oats, barley, wheat. The grains were pre-ground and soaked in water or milk. Then they baked bread, and in the morning they carried it to the church to receive the blessing of the priest, who asked St. Michael for a plentiful harvest.

Broccoli Soup with Sweet Potatoes Recipe

|

Broccoli soup with sweet potatoes and chicken can be safely attributed to proper and healthy nutrition. It is light, low-calorie and very useful. Even those who hate broccoli eat it, as a rule, with great pleasure. Yes, to be honest, broccoli is not felt there at all. The soup turns out to be slightly sweet due to the sweet potato, so if you want, you can add a little acid to it – lemon juice, white wine vinegar or a small tomato will perfectly cope with this task.
