Video: Polenta pizza with courgette (zucchini) and sundried tomatoes


I love pizza! I have loved pizza for almost all my life. 
I love it so much that we have pizza almost every Friday. It would be boring, though, if I always made the same one so I like to mix things up a little and experiment with different toppings as well as different crusts.

This one is one of my favorite. Instead of the bread crust I use polenta. It´s much easier and quicker to make, healthier and tastes amazing.
Put on top of your pizza whatever you fancy. I love the combination of courgette (zucchini) and sundried tomatoes which add extra flavor.
You can find the recipe for my polenta pizza here below the video.

Video: Homemade coconut milk

It´s really easy to make coconut milk in your own kitchen. It saves a lot of money and produces much less rubbish. 
Use the left over coconut after draining for your next smoothie, porridge or musli. Nothing needs to go to waste :)
In the video I am using half-cup mugs. I have adapted the recipe to regular coffee mugs of 250ml.


RECIPE

for ca. 700ml coconut milk

Ingredients
1/2 cup desiccated coconut
1/2 +2 cups of water

Method
1. Place the desiccated coconut in a bowl and cover it with 1 cup of water. This has to soak for about 4 hours or over night.

2. After the soaking time put the coconut into a high speed blender or a high mixing bowl if you are using a hand-held blender, like I do, and add 2 cups of water.

3. Now it´s only a matter of blending this until it´s smooth. When it looks just right blend for another minute.

4. Strain the milk through a nut milk or cheese cloth and squeeze.

5. Fill the milk into a sterilized bottle and keep it in the fridge.
