  • 1 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1/4 cup raw buckwheat
  • 1.4 cup blanched sliced almonds
  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp honey
  • 8 oz strawberries washed and hulled, plus additional whole strawberries for garnish
  • 1 tsp sherry vinegar
  • 2 tsp maple syrup
  • 1/2 tsp freshly ground pepper
  • Pinch salt
  • 20 mint leaves
  • 14 oz can coconut cream

Instructions

  • In skillet, combine olive oil, buckwheat, and almonds. Heat on low and toast for 7 to 10 minutes, stirring to ensure even browning, until buckwheat and almonds are lightly browned. Remove skillet from heat, add cinnamon and honey, and stir rapidly to coat. Set aside and allow to cool. Once cool, transfer mixture to bowl of food processor and blitz for a few seconds. Press mixture into 6 small Mason jars.
  • Dice strawberries and, in bowl, combine with vinegar, maple syrup, black pepper, and salt. Add mint leaves and mash them with a muddler or back of wooden spoon. Stir strawberries and allow to stand for 20 minutes.
  • Reserve and refrigerate about 1/2 cup macerated strawberries. Add the remaining to blender jug with coconut cream and process until smooth and thick. Pour mixture over buckwheat layer in each Mason jar. Seal and allow to chill for 1 hour.
  • Top cream pots with a layer of reserved macerated strawberries. Garnish each pot with an additional fresh strawberry and sprig of mint.
