Power seeds pie: sesame, quinoa & hemp

Versiunea in limba romana: Placinta cu susan, quinoa si seminte de canepa

placinta cu susan (1 of 1)-6

Better said: seeds pie :). I have this idea from my friend Andreea GK (thanks, honey) and I transformed it according to my taste. I adore sesame, these cute healthy little seeds  ♥ I have a passion for power foods and lately I've discovered that sesame is full of calcium, magnesium, iron, phosphohorus, vitamin B1, zinc, fibers, sesamin & sesamolin. Quinoa is also a power food I love ( see my post Healthy breakfast - raspberry quinoa breakfast and Quinoa with chickpeas and dry fruits). Recently I've discovered another power seed: hemp.  2 tablespoons of hemp seeds  equals the daily necessary amount of Omega 3 & Omega 6. As I really dislike taking pills as suplements, this was great news to me. Calm, beautiful skin, lower cholesterol + delicious dessert = love. Enjoy!
 
 
Placinta cu susan, quinoa si seminte de canepa

1 pie dough (defrosted)
4 - 5 tbsp melted butter
450 g sesame seeds +  4 lg quinoa + 6 tbsp hemp seeds + 250 g grounded almonds + 1 tbsp  grounded cinnamon + 1/2 tsp grounded cloves + 250-300 ml honey (I don't like it too sweet) + zest of one orange

Cut the defrosted pie dough in 2 pieces, brush it with butter, put one piece in an oven tray. Preheat the oven to 160 degrees C.

Wash the quinoa seeds thoroughly, then let drain really well. Heat a pan and put the seeds in it, stirring often, until golden. Mix quinoa, sesame, hemp seeds, almonds, orange zest, spices and honey. Put this mixture in the tray and cover with the second dough piece. Brush with butter. Bake for aprox 50 minutes. When sesame pie is done, let cool, then sieve some confectioner's sugar on top. Enjoy!
