High-profile chefs in the
UK, including Jamie Oliver, Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall and Jane Clark are
emphatic Hemp converts!
Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall
drizzles it onto toast, adding a little salt, as well as using it for roasting
potatoes which he describes as “the ultimate test”. As with all oils high in
Omegas - including olive - much of the goodness breaks down with heat, but it
can still be used simply for its flavour.
"“Hemp Oil is the most interesting
culinary oil that has come my way for a long time. It
stacks up with the best extra virgin olive oil, making
all kinds of dressings and – perhaps the ultimate test –
it makes excellent roast potatoes”"
Hugh
Fearnley-Whittingstall |
Jamie Oliver got hold of
some Hemp Seed Oil and rather thrillingly poured it over a bowl of ice cream.
Everyone thought it would be disgusting but it was delicious.
The
"hautest" thing in
Toronto dining is cuisine prepared with Hemp
Oil or Hemp Seed.
Daniel Clairet of Daniel et Daniel who caterers for the rich and famous, has
incorporated Hemp Seed Oil into his recipes. These include salads, grilled and
poached vegetables, fish and poultry. The Paris-trained chef says this about
Hemp
Oil:
"It's a little like
Walnut
Oil, which is much used in France
for salad dressings. It has a very pleasant nutty flavour and I see a big
future for it in fine dining."
Daniel Clairet

Clairet's Warm Baby New Potato Salad to get a feel for the richness
of Hemp Seed Oil.
Bon apetit!

Hemp Milk
Ingredients:
1/4 cup
Hemptons Shelled Hemp Seed
1 cup water
Flavourings (vanilla, maple syrup or
honey)
Directions:
Place seeds into a blender and add
a
small amount of water - approximately 1 inch above the seeds. Turn the blender on
and use a
multiple of speeds to agitate the seed/water mixture so they become a thick cream.
Then add your
flavouring of choice - vanilla, maple syrup
or honey or only a ripe banana and serve as a thick drink or add water at a
ratio of 4.75 water to 1 part seed for a lighter Hemp milk.
A great alternative to soy milk!

Hemp Ice Cream
Follow the above recipe for
Hemp Milk, but skip the second step of adding more water and consider adding
more fruit instead - banana, berries or peaches are ideal.
Place the thick Hemp
milk in a freezer resistant container and freeze for approximately 5 hours
or until frozen through.
Run the frozen Hemp
milk through a juicer with the blank attachment or an ice cream maker and
serve.
Absolutely heavenly!
