Instructions

  • Heat the oven to 400°F.
  • Toss 6 chopped leeks and 2 chopped parsnips with the oil onto a roasting pan.
  • Sprinkle half the thyme leaves (3 TB) and season well with salt and pepper.
  • Roast for 30-35 minutes, until the leeks are soft, and parsnips are soft all the way through.
  • Once the leeks and parsnips have softened, remove from the oven.
  • While the veggies are baking, you can make the oat creme fraiche.
  • Place oats in a bowl and cover with hot water, so oats are submerged.
  • Let it rest for at least 30 minutes up to 1 hour. *(Longer and it will get slimy)
  • Drain and rinse the soaked oats in a fine sieve or strainer.
  • Add to a blender along with the 2 cups water, oil, and salt.
  • Blend for 3-5 minutes or until very smooth.
  • Pour the cream back through the fine mesh sieve or strainer.
  • Use a large spoon to gently press the liquid through the strainer.
  • Dispose of the oat gunk and pour the cream into a glass jar, leaving 1 cup out for the recipe.
  • Keep the remaining creme refrigerated for up to one week.
  • Mix all (but ½ cup) of the grated parsnips in a bowl with the oat cream, garlic, lemon zest, ACV, broth, and beans.
    *(Remaining ½ cup of parsnips is used for the topping.)
  • Taste and season with salt and pepper.
  • Toss the leeks and parsnips with the bean and oat cream mixture.
  • Then put the entire mixture back onto the baking pan.
  • In a separate bowl, make the crumble topping.
  • Using your fingertips, rub the oats, oil, flour, and pumpkin seeds together.
  • Add the remaining ½ cup of grated parsnip and 3 TB thyme leaves.
  • Continue until it starts to clump together.
  • Sprinkle the crumble topping over the filling.
  • Optional: Sprinkle the cheese on top and return to the oven for 30 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven when done and let it sit a few minutes.
  • Enjoy warm, fresh out of the oven!

Notes

You can put the crumble together, cover and chill in the fridge a day before you bake it. You can also make the oat creme fraiche ahead of time and place in the fridge until you’re ready to use it. 
I ended up wanting more beans in the dish and added a can to the dish when reheating it for left overs.

Since it's so versatile and easy to transport, Muesli makes the best treat to have at work, take it with you on the road or just enjoy it as a meal with a variety of toppings. Put it in a mason jar, screw on the lid, and take it with you! Oats are very satisfying and this snack can keep you full for hours. The end result is a lightly sweetened, slightly crunchy muesli. Try it with cold oat milk, or heat it up together with the milk to create a hot cereal. The add ons are endless from coconut yogurt to dried fruit, fresh fruit or seeds. I love the texture, flavors, flexibility and creativity in this delicious muesli!

These spicy spud balls are packed full of flavor with fresh herbs, spices, oats and red potatoes. They are incredibly delicious and nutritious with a nice crunchy outside. I've made many versions of balls and burgers using beans and grains but never potatoes. So why not try it! I can honestly say they were way better than I'd expected them to be and a big hit with my taste tester. We enjoyed eating them with pasta, salad and just by themselves with sauce.
