Help me Urban, what do I do with this ingredient?

[Elpenor]

I’ve been reorganising my dry food and came across a packet of seed mix. I can’t remember what I bought it for, I’ve not used it, and I’ve certainly got no idea what to use it for.

Anyway, I thought posting a thread on urban would be the best way to get an inspiring recipe, and perhaps a thread entitled “what do I do with this ingredient” would be handy for others too.


This is what the packet looks like:

This is what it consists of:

Pumpkin Seeds (35%), Sunflower Seeds (35%), Golden Linseed (15%), Hemp Seed (15%).

Any ideas very welcome, and please post up your own random ingredients too!

Make seeded bread with it?

Or just sprinkle it on to a salad.

 

[weepiper]

Put it on a salad. Or a stir fry/fried rice.

 

[SpookyFrank]

Toast in a dry pan with a teaspoon of marmite. Eat.

E2a: Not marmite, what am I on about. Soy sauce. A dash of soy sauce.

 

[kittyP]

Bread, salad, smoothie, porridge, snack....

 

[kittyP]

Make some protein balls

 

[maomao]

Add to wholemeal bread just before baking.

 

[WouldBe]

Toast in a dry pan with a teaspoon of marmite. Eat.

Feed it to the birds.

 

[Saul Goodman]

Buy some lard, melt lard in a saucepan, add seed, mix, spoon mixture into moulds, allow to cool, remove from moulds and feed to birds over winter.

 

[cupid_stunt]

Put it in the bird feeder?

Fruit salad, Greek yoghurt, seeds on top, is what I would do. But yes, savoury salads as well. Add to breakfast cereal. Add to crumble topping!

 

[Elpenor]

Thanks all for the suggestions - a lot of good ones.

Sadly no bread maker at chez Elpenor and I’m meant to be avoiding carbs so the rice option isn’t ideal. Far too cold for salads in October!

I like the idea of fruit salads / yoghurt topping though, that’s the winner so far. Topping cereal would be ideal but again that’s the dastardly carbs.

Flapjacks!

Eat it as is?

 

[WouldBe]

Eat it as is?

Cheep, cheep.

 

[farmerbarleymow]

Eat it as is?

Yeah, that's what I'd do. Seeds make great snacks - and dead healthy too.

 

[Numbers]

Make some protein balls

And then bone them.

 

[sojourner]

Make some muesli.

 

[clicker]

Sprinkle in porridge, with blueberries.

 

[Badgers]

[kalidarkone]

I have a few packets of these. I sprinkle them with soya sauce garlic and lemon juice or cider vinegar, toast them and out them in salad.

Eugh, bird food. Birds eat seeds. Ha ha ha. Haha. Hahaha. Ha.

/all the tiresome old men on here.

The obvious is make bread with them (which you do not need a bread machine for, I can't knead so use a food processor blade setting on slow to knead the dough and just bake it in the oven)

BUT since you are avoiding carbs, the only thing I can think to do with them is make fat balls for the birds for winter, as long as the seeds are unsalted. I'm not really massively into seeds like that unless they are in bread so nothing else springs to mind!

Elpenor could plant them and see what grows.

That's what you took from people suggesting to be nice to birds over winter?
How very sad.
