Recipe - Bergen German Muesli With Crunchy Date And Coconut Granol

FOR THE MUSELI
100 g Porridge oats; (4oz)
2 Apples; peeled
2 Pears; peeled
250 g Greek yoghurt; (9oz)
2 teaspoon Runny honey
1 25 grams whole hazelnuts;
(1oz)
400 ml Semiskimmed milk; (3/4
pint)
One half Lemon; juice of
1 pn Ground cinnamon

FOR THE GRANOLA MIX
100 g Sunflower seeds; (4oz)
1 100 gram whole blanched
almonds; (4oz)
1 100 gram whole hazelnuts;
(4oz)
100 g Pumpkin seeds; (4oz)
100 g Desiccated coconut; (4oz)
100 g Sultanas; (4oz)
100 g Dried dates; (4oz)
100 ml Runny honey; (3 1/2fl oz)
4 tablespoon Sunflower oil
1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon

For the muesli: In a small frying pan toast the hazelnuts until
lightly golden brown and then either crush or chop into small pieces.
In the same pan add the porridge oats and toast lightly and then
remove from the heat.

In a large bowl grate coarsely the pears and apples and then mix with
the porridge oats and all of the other remaining ingredients. Fold
the mixture well and add more milk depending on desired texture.

For the granola mix: Preheat the oven to moderate temperature of
approx 180øC/350øF/gas mark 4.

Either place all the nuts into a strong plastic bag and crush roughly
with a rolling pin or place them in a blender and quickly pulse the
nuts so that they are in rough pieces. You do not want them to be too
rough or too fine, as this will affect the texutre of the granola

Now using a deep roasting tray (the one used for Sunday roast is
ideal) place in all of the ingredinets except the dried dates and
sultanas. Mix the nuts and desiccated coconut together well with the
oil and honey. Place the roasting tray uncovered in the oven to cook.

Now chop the dates into roughly the same size as the sultanas and mix
together ready to add 10 minutes before the end. Meanwhile I would
suggest you have another job that you can be doing in the kitchen as
it is best to stir the granola every 1015 minutes.

10 minutes before the end take the granola out and add the dried
fruits. The granola and roasting tray will be very hot and only mix
the fruits with the granola with a spoon or fork. Place the tray back
in the oven and continue to cook for a final 10 minutes.

Once the granola is a beautiful dark golden colour remove from the
oven and leave to cool. As the granola begins to cool, the mixture
will become crunchy and slightly chewy, these are the two hallmarks
of a good granola.
