Since the following recipes all call for
ground hempseed,
Rather than merely grinding the amount called
form in one recipe, do up, instead, 5 or 6 cups at a time and
store the extra in a bag in the freezer until ready to use.
Generally speaking, the hempseed sold
today is very dirty and must be washed. An easy method is to measure a quantity
of hempseed into a pitcher; about 1 cup. Fill the pitcher with water and stir
the contents. Let sit for a bit. The seeds will float to the top and the grit
and stones will sink to the bottom. Slowly pour the seeds into a sieve taking
care to not disturb the silt at the bottom and to stop before it begins to spill
out with the seeds. Drain the washed seeds and spread out on a T- cloth. Scan
the seeds and pick out any obvious longer stems. Repeat this procedure a few
times with more seeds.
Regarding grinders, the best machines are
those specifically designed for grinding nuts and seeds. These are usually sold
as flour mills with optional burr kits. Burrs are made of metal and designed to
enable the grinding of soybeans and other hard field beans, millet, damp grains
and high oil content seeds and nuts. Mills, on the other hand, are made of
stones and are preferred when grinding wheat, rye, barley, oats and other dry
grains.
Although commonly found in the average
European kitchen, most North American kitchens lack this marvelously hand
machine. They can, however be obtained in a wide range of prices, through most
Health Food stores or ordered from Mennonite and “Back-to-the-Land”
lifestyle catalogues. Big bread fans may consider investing in the high ticketed
electric grinders to supply them with all their flour needs. There is simply
nothing quite like a loaf of bread made with freshly ground flour. Hand grinders
are inexpensive by comparison and not too tiring to operate on a minimum basis.
Please note that neither the modern electric coffee grinder nor the household
blender perform a satisfactory job at pulverizing the hard hempseed into a fine
consistency.
Hempseeds don’t need to be entirely dry
when using a grinder outfitted with burrs. Laying them out on a T-towel after
washing adequately soaks up the majority of the excess water. Once seeds are
ground, their precious essential oils become exposed to the light and air. To
retard rancidity, pack the surplus grindings into a plastic bag and put in
freezer for future experimentations.
Hempseeds can be included in many recipes
but excel when used in breads and cakes. Their high oil content enables the
possibility of cutting back or even eliminating other oils called for.
Undoubtedly though, blender drinks are the ultimate way of infesting hempseeds.
Besides there being no chewing involved with hempseed’s hard out shells, only
swallowing, there is no cooking involved either. This means the enzymes which
are found in all uncooked foods and beneficial for digestion have not been
destroyed by heat. Also, non of the highly susceptible essential fatty acids due
to high temperature exposure. It’s true baking also involves high heat, but
basically only the outer crust is exposed to extreme temperatures whereas the
inner part cooks within its own steam, enough to kill the enzymes but not enough
to damage the oil molecules. Frying however, is not recommended. Hempseed’s
healthful fatty acids distort quickly under these conditions. Instead, try
lightly toasting bean-based burgers containing hempseed as an alternative.
Inventing recipes using hempseed challenges
the imagination.
The following recipes are mere doorways into
possible avenues. Enjoy!
Place on baking sheet cut side up and lightly
brush with virgin or extra-virgin olive oil. Bake until tender, about 20
minutes. Scoop out the cooked pulp and discard the skins.
Drain and place in large pot. Cover peas with
fresh water and bring to boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook peas until soft,
about 2 - 3 hours. Keep an eye on water and make sure peas are covered
throughout the entire cooking period. Drain.
Heat oven to 375 F. Drop walnut-sized balls of
dough 3” apart onto greased cookie sheets. Grease bottom of glass. Dip glass
in sugar and lightly flatten each cookie. Bake 10 to 12 minutes. Makes about 4
dozen cookies.
Heat oven to 350 F. Form dough
into 1” round balls and place onto cookies sheets 2” apart. Make a
depression in each cookie ball with your thumb or middle-finger. Fill depression
with favorite jam or jelly. Bake 20 - 25 minutes until
lightly browned. Makes about 40 cookies.
Dough should be firm like a noodle dough. Knead
till it is smooth and longer sticky. Let dough rest for 15 - 20 minutes. Roll
out on a floured table-cloth to as thin as possible. Then, work hands between
the cloth and pastry, palms down, and encourage, without tearing, the dough to
stretch further. Or, alternatively, use a noodle machine to make long paper-thin
strips that can be laid side by side, slightly over-lapping, first one way and
another layer the opposite way with a brushing of melted butter in between.
Pastry should measure 1 1/2’ X 3’ single layered or 1 1/2’ X 2’ double
layered.
Brush entire pastry surface with a
coating of some of the melted butter.
Sprinkle on top a mixture of:
1/4 cup breadcrumbs
1/4 cup brown sugar
4 tbsp. soft butter
followed by the hempseed
mixture. Using the cloth, bebin flipping the dough loosely onto itself
jelly-roll style, taking care to flip in either end an inch or so as well.
Continue to roll right onto a greased cookie sheet. Brush with more melted
butter. Heat oven to 400 F and bake for 15 minutes. Remove. Lower heat heat to
350 F. Brush strudel again with melted butter. Sprinkle
with sugar and return to oven for 10 more minutes.
Make up a batch of your
favourite pastry or try combining:
1 cup white pastry flour
1 tbsp. full-fat soya flour
1/4 tsp. coriander
1/4 tsp. mace
Lightly toss in a mixture of:
3 tbsp. virgin or extra-virgin olive oil
3 tbsp. cold water
Form into a firm dough. Chill. In a bowl
combine:
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup ground hempseed
1 egg
Roll chilled pastry out and cut into rounds to
form pastry shells. Fill shells 3/4 full with hempseed mixture. Heat oven to 450
F. Reduce to 350 F and bake tarts for 15 - 20 minutes, until pastry is golden
brown. Let tarts cool completely before removing from pans.
Mix half the crumble (1 cup)
with the syrup mixture and pour into prepared pie crust. Sprinkle
remaining crumble mixture on top. Heat oven to 450 F. Place pie into oven.
Reduce to 350 F and bake for 35 - 45 minutes until puffy and golden. Banana
Hempseed Bread
Cream together:
3/4 cup ground hempseed
2tbsp. virgin or extra-virgin olive oil

Dough should be stiff. Add a bit more water if
necessary. Turn out on floured board and knead until smooth and no longer
sticky. Let rest briefly. Meanwhile, set to boil on high heat a large pot of
water. With a pasta machine, roll and cut dough into fine noodles.
If no machine is available, roll
as thin as possible and cut into strips by hand. Place noodles in rapidly
boiling water for 3 - 5 minutes (no more) and drain. Toss with your favorite
sauce or pesto.
Shake the pan a little or stir
to lightly and evenly taste
. Remove from heat to cool a bit then add:
2 cups boiling water
1/2 cup ground hempseed
1 large chopped leek
(including the greens)
Cover pan, turn heat down low and gently
simmer for 15 minutes. Turn heat off and let sit for another 10 minutes.
Meantime, in a bowl mah:
1 cup tofu (250 g)
Add the hempseed, millet mixture along with
1 tsp oregano
pepper and/or salt
Pour into lightly baked prepared pie shell.
Heat oven to 450 F. Put pic in oven and turn oven down to 350 F. Bake for 25-30
minutes. Serve with salad or steamed vegetables.
Drain and place in large pot. Cover peas with
fresh water and bring to boil. Reduce heat to a summer and cook peas until soft,
about 2-3 hours. Keep an eye on water level and make sure peas are completely
covered during entire cooking period.

Mash together:
2 cups cooked chick peas
1 cup ground hempseed
1/2 cup rolled oats
2-3 finely chopped cloves garlic
juice of 1 lemon
2 tbsp. cilantro
1 tsp. cumin
1/2 tsp cayenne
Form into small, round, flat patties and place
together on cooling racks or greased cookie sheets. Flour hands if batter is too
sticky. Turn oven to broil and slide the patties closely under the heat. If
using cooling racks, set them on an un-greased cookie sheet before setting them
under the broiler. Carefully toast the tops of the patties. Turn and carefully
toast the other side. If using cooling racks, remove from stove when tops of
patties are toasted. Place another cookie sheet over top of the one holding the
racks and turn the whole apparatus over. Lift the sheet and racks off of the
patties. Toasted side is now face down on new cookie sheet. Return to broiler to
continue the toasting. Serve in pitas with tomato and cucumber slices and cover
with favorite sauce or salsa. Or, try the traditional Lemon-Tahini sauce:
