Morning Tea Slice | Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall

This scrumptious raw recipe comes from my friend and former River Cottage colleague Nonie Dwyer and the title sums it up nicely - these fruity bars are great with your morning cuppa as an effort-free but energy-packed breakfast or elevenses.
Flakes of millet - a nutritious, gluten-free grain, easy to find in health food shops - help to bind these sweet, tasty slabs together.
• Recipe taken from Hugh's new book, River Cottage Light & Easy, published by Bloomsbury.

INGREDIENTS:
Makes 10 bars
100g millet flakes
75g whole, skin-on almonds
175g unsulphured dried apricots
200g pitted dates, chopped 100g dried apples
50g raisins
2 dried figs, tough stem ends snipped off
Freshly grated nutmeg (optional)
1⁄4-1⁄2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
Finely grated zest of 1 orange and juice of about 1⁄2 the fruit
DIRECTIONS:
Line a 19-20cm square tin or dish with cling film or baking parchment.
Put all the ingredients, except the orange juice, into the bowl of a food processor.
Pulse until well chopped and combined, stopping once or twice to scrape down the sides so the blades can process all the ingredients.
Slowly add the orange juice, pulsing the mixture until it comes together into a very stiff, chunky paste.
Press the mixture firmly into the prepared dish in an even layer, smoothing over the top.
Refrigerate for 3-4 hours or, preferably, overnight, then slice into bars. Store in the fridge. These bars will keep happily for at least a couple of weeks.

    Thankyou Hugh for all fanastic programs .Loved watching them over the years . When you came out too Australia here and starting with the Aussie guy,s farm River Cottage . Its being repeated again at the moment . Spent years goung too my now ex husbands family farm 3 kids in toe .School holidays they,d spend a week on the farm . I learned so much from such a beautiful lady she still my 2nd mum .she,s off the farm and one of her son and his wife taken over .I learned too grow veggies ,perserve fruit ,make jams and pickles. . Plant fruit trees .My eldest daughter has too. I have veggie gardens lots herbs , a few fruit trees that where already here . Belong too a veggie garden group go once a mth and we swap veg fruit ,seedling and seeds . I have eaten gf for 34 years for an illness has helped quite a bit . Often wonder how I,d be if I hadnt .I call it feeding my sole.

    The end result looked decidedly like something you'd find in the bottom of a budgie cage, but having seen the ingredients I imagine they do taste lovely. Oh and it's useful to know that millet is gluten free as my sister has Crohns and can't tolerate gluten.

    Morning Hugh, I have just seen your recipe and am planning to introduce it as a healthy snack, at any time really. It also reminded me to make "pan de higos" [maybe you wish to have a go at that on video for all youtubers...;-)? I haven't got a camera yet to do so... ] a sort of Spanish counterpart made with dried figs which is, obviously very healthy and delicious and yummily gooey, and last but not least, a great Mediterranean reminder of the days I was living in that country. Thanks for sharing all these recipes! Warmly Jerry at Verde Basilico Hosting & Table d'hôte .

    Looks amazing....loving all these River Cottage offerings and Hugh's cooking and presentation! One small critique...please have your camera person modify there style a bit and not cut off the food and prep, in an effort to keep Hugh in the shot; perhaps stepping back some to include all. Just a well intentioned thought! Cheers, Greg Douglass

    I'm sure it's delicious, but it would drive my bloodsugar through the roof. And then it would crash and I would want another one. As a pre-diabetic, I escape the insulin ride by not indulging in snacks that are nearly a hundred percent carbohydrate (= sugar).

    I love River Cottage and I've bought the book . . . but as a video production professional these little videos irritate: The colour cast, the shallow depth of field and resulting wandering focus all detract from my enjoyment of Hugh and the food. Please just shoot it in a more standard style, light it well and have the food in focus. Thank you for all that you do.
