Beverages

Herbal Coffee

Clean Living Blend:

• 4 oz. Roasted Chicory Root

• 4 oz. Roasted Dandelion Root

• 2 oz. Burdock Root

Option: After brewing & before drinking, add 1/2 tsp Maca powder and 1 tsp raw cacao to each cup for additional flavor.




Happy Liver Blend:

• 2 oz. Roasted Chicory Root

• 1 oz. Roasted Dandelion Root

• 1 oz. Roasted Carob (

• 1 oz. Organic Milk Thistle Seed

• 1 oz. Organic Burdock Root


Brewing Instructions Since this blend is made with a lot of root herbs, it is not an instant product. The longer you brew it, the better it will be in flavor and nutrition. This is called “decoction” in herbal language. For more information on decoction and common herbal preparations, please read this post. You can adjust the proportions to suit your tastes. Some people prefer 1-2 teaspoons per 12-14 ounces of water, while others prefer a stronger brew at 1 tablespoon or more per 12-14 ounces of water. Experiment and see what you like best.


STOVE TOP METHOD

1. Bring 12-14 ounces of filtered water to a boil.

2. Add 1 tbsp of “coffee” blend to water.

3. Cover and reduce heat to low.

4. Simmer for 15-30 minutes.

5. Remove from heat and strain out herbs.

6. Serve as is, or with your favorite sweetener and creamer.

TIP: You can make this in large batches and store it in the fridge for 7-10 days. I make mine by the half gallon so I have it on hand whenever I want it.




Herbal “Coffee” Tips & Tricks

• You can make this in large batches and store it in the fridge for 7-10 days. I make mine by the half gallon so I have it on hand whenever I want it.

• When it comes to straining your herbs, use a super fine-mesh strainer. I personally prefer a reusable coffee filter. You can easily find those at your local health food store for just a few dollars and they last forever.

• For frozen beverages, try freezing your herbal “coffee” in ice cube trays so that your iced beverages are not diluted by regular ice.

• Try using an immersion blender, or a regular blender, to get your “coffee” drinks (both hot and iced) frothy and light.

• You can use this herbal “coffee” in recipes that call for regular coffee. Think ice cream, soups, breads, and more! I use this in Bulletproof type of coffee blends.

• If you need to roast your dried roots, heat oven to 350 degrees (177 degrees c), place mixture on a cookie sheet and roast for 10 - 20 minutes. Stir half way through.

4 oz (112 g) good quality dark chocolate (77%+ choc content)

8 oz (240 ml) heavy cream

Eggs

Quiche With No-Flour Crust

Generously rub a pie plate with butter or coconut oil. Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C).

Crust: Crush coarsely chicharrones (pork rinds) to yield about a cup (240 ml). Press into pie plate

Filling: Beat 5 -6 eggs, season generously with turmeric and black pepper. Add whole milk or sour cream or combination thereof in equal measure.

Put a layer of any type of cheese on top of crust (goat cheese is my favorite). Add a layer of lightly cooked veggies (spinach!) with water squeezed out (leftovers are great).

Pour filling over top. Dust with paprika or more black pepper.

Place in pre-heated 450°F degree oven and immediately reduce heat to 350°F (177°C). Cook until slightly firm when touched and slightly brown on top (20 - 30 mins). This quiche will cook more quickly than a traditional flour crust.

Note: The black pepper (bioperine) enhances the absorption of the curcumin in the tumeric.

Grilled Pastrami-Style Salmon

The classic seasonings associated with beef pastrami taste fantastic on this grilled salmon. Allspice is a fairly strong spice, so if you're sensitive to its "burn," use the lesser amount.

  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper

Prep time: 25 minutes

Cook Time: 10 minutes

  • 2 cups walnuts, halves and pieces
  • 2 cups chopped mushrooms
  • 1 cup chopped red beet
  • 2 cloves garlic, peeled, or 1/4 garlic powder
  • 1/2 cup chopped red onion
  • 1 teaspoon paprika, preferably Hungarian (I did not use it)

Put the walnuts, mushrooms, beet, garlic, 1/2 cup of onion, paprika, parsley, salt, pepper in a food processor. Pulse until blended but still chunky.

Transfer the mixture to a mixing bowl, and stir in the basil, and the flour. Grease your hands with the oil, and knead the mixture to fully combine ingredients. Form the patties, each about 4 inches in diameter and 1 inch thick.

Pizza with Cauliflower Crust

Crust:

  • 12 oz of riced cauliflower (half frozen)
  • 1 cup of almond flour
  • 2 pastured eggs
  • 2 tsp garlic powder
  • pinch of salt

-Mix together in a large bowl several hours before putting the pizza together. I rolled it out on parchment paper, keeping the edges thick so it wouldn't crumble. I placed a second piece of parchment paper on the crust and left it on the counter until I was ready to assemble. When ready, preheat oven to 400F. Remove top parchment paper. Transfer to a pizza pan leaving the bottom parchment paper in place. Cook for 20-25 mins until slightly brown and firm. With a spatula gently loosen from the parchment paper.

Sauce:

  • Organic tomato sauce
  • Italian seasonings to taste

Toppings:

  • Pastured chicken sausage (optional)
  • Sweet onion
  • Mushrooms slices

-Lightly saute these three before placing on the pizza

  • Goat cheese
  • Tomato slices
  • Fresh basil
  • Kalamata olive slices (preferably pitted & soaked in brine)


-Spread sauce as desired. Dot with goat cheese. Spread the sausage, mushroom, onion medley evenly. Top with tomato slices, fresh basil and kalamata olives. Cook for an additional 10 mins.

Creamy Salad dressing

Half bunch of cilantro

Half bunch of parsley

½ Avocado

1 medium Persian cucumber (or a piece of english cucumber)

½ cup (120 ml) of Extra virgin olive oil

1-2 tbsp. (15-30 ml) MCT oil (Optional)

1 tbsp. (15 ml) apple cider vinegar or fresh squeezed lemon juice

Salt and pepper

Pinch of stevia or xylitol (optional)

You may need a splash of water if too thick to mix


Put all the ingredients into the blender, and blend to create a thick, creamy dressing. This dressing is great on any greens or as a dip for your favorite vegetables. Keep refrigerated.

No-Fail Mayo

1 cup (240 ml) Extra virgin olive oil (prefer a high polyphenol variety)

1 Pastured egg (Wash the shell with soap and water beforehand to avoid salmonella contamination.)

Juice from 1/2 lemon or lime

Pinch of salt


Combine all ingredients into a tall cylindrical container such as the one that comes with an immersion blender. This matters because successful mayo is the result of a chemical reaction and all ingredients need to be in close proximity. Start by pouring in your EVOO, then adding one egg. Scantly squeeze the juice of a half lemon or lime (avoiding seeds) and add in a pinch of salt. Place an immersion (stick) blender into the very bottom of the container and blend for 15 seconds. This is important. If you turn the blender on before it touches the bottom of the container, your mayo can fail. If you carefully follow instructions, I promise perfect no-fail mayo every time.

Another One Minute Mayonnaise Recipe

Makes 1 cup

1 whole pastured egg

1 or 2 tablespoons raw apple cider vinegar (more or less to your taste)

1 teaspoon dijon mustard (more or less to your taste)

1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt

1 cup avocado oil

Add all of the ingredients (with the oil last) into a Mason jar or the container that came with your stick (immersion) blender. Place your stick blender in the jar. Pressing firmly on the bottom, turn it on and keep it still on the bottom of the jar for at least 20 seconds. You'll start to feel the mayonnaise emulsifying. Once that occurs, slowly start to bring the stick blender up, blending in the remainder of the oil.

You can ferment this mayonnaise by adding 1 tablespoon live (not canned) sauerkraut juice with your ingredients. Transfer to to a pint size mason jar and put lid on firmly. Leave on counter for about 7 hours to ferment. Transfer and store in your refrigerator where it will last for several months.

  • 150 ml tahini
  • 1-2 cloves of garlic crushed
  • 50-75 ml water
  • 50 ml freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • pinch of salt

Whisk all ingredients together in a bowl. (You may wish to use less water if you like the dressing a bit thicker.)




No Cooked "Cooked" Greens

  • Rocket (Arugula)
  • Kale
  • Silverbeet
  • Spinach
  • Radicchio
  • Beet leaves
  • Or any garden leaves on hand....

Chop into thick or thin slices. Place into bowl.

Dress with olive oil (or your preferred oil) and give your greens a quick vigorous massage.

Add a pinch of good quality sea / rock/ Himalayan salt

After 5-15 mins the leaves have softened considerably and are wonderful alongside of anything really. Omelettes, meat, fish, haloumi etc etc.

  • Variation: You may wish to add shaved Parmesan, toasted nuts or seeds or some sardines/ mackerel.

Vegetables

Braised Kale with Bacon and Cider

Ingredients

  • 2 bacon slices
  • 1 1/4 cups thinly sliced onion
  • 1 (1-pound) bag chopped kale
  • 1/3 cup apple cider
  • 1 Tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 1/2 cups diced Granny Smith apple (about 10 ounces)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper


1. Place a Dutch oven over medium heat. Add bacon; cook 5 minutes or until crisp, stirring occasionally. Remove bacon from pan, reserving 1 teaspoon drippings in pan. Crumble bacon, and set aside.

2. Increase heat to medium-high. Add onion to pan; cook 5 minutes or until tender, stirring occasionally. Add kale, and cook 5 minutes or until wilted, stirring frequently. Add cider and vinegar; cover and cook 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add apple, salt, and pepper; cook 5 minutes or until apple is tender, stirring occasionally. Sprinkle with bacon.

NOTE: I made this and left off the apple cider, and it still tasted good. I bought 1-lb frozen organic kale from whole foods, and used one chopped apple, and avoided nitrates/nitrites in the bacon.

Yield: 6 servings (serving size: 2/3 cup)

Roasted Brussels Sprouts

  • 2-3 lbs Brussels Sprouts
  • Olive oil- {would change this to Avocado Oil because of smoke point and oxidation issue)
  • Optional: (after baked) lemon, salt, Nutritional Yeast


Directions:

Preheat oven 375 degrees F

Shave the Brussels sprouts (I use the attachment on the food processor). Lay flat on sheet pan in one layer and drizzle with olive oil. Bake at 375-400 until golden and start to crisp (maybe 30-45 min? Keep an eye on them though). They brown quickly. When you remove them from the oven, sprinkle lemon on them and salt them! Salting after they come out of the oven is key!! + Or add Nutritional yeast

Fermented Foods

How To Ferment Sauerkraut

1. Rinse vegetables in cool water but do not scrub. The soil born bacteria on the vegetables help with fermentation.

2. Shred, chop or slice the vegetables and place in a large bowl.

3. Add salt and massage thoroughly into the mixture using your hands. Start with the smaller amount listed in a recipe and taste before you add more. It should be salty but not overwhelmingly salty (more like a pleasing potato chip). If it isn’t salty enough, add more salt and keep tasting until it is to your liking. The mixture should taste fresh and pleasing. The vegetables will start to look limp and moisture will start to accumulate in the bottom of the bowl. If you don’t see any liquid, let the mixture sit on the counter for 45 minutes to let the salt start pulling the moisture out of the vegetables. Massage again before packing into the fermenting vessel.

4. Begin packing the mixture into a crock or glass jar. I’ve found wide mouth 2 quart mason jars to be my favorite fermenting vessel for smaller batches. Add the mixture a couple of handfuls at a time and pack down firmly with either your fist or a tamper to remove air bubbles. More brine will release during this process. Keep pushing down the mixture until the brine starts to rise to the top of the vegetables.

5. Leave 4” of headspace for a crock and 2” - 3” headspace for a jar. Headspace is the space between the top of the mixture and the top of the vessel.

6. Top the mixture with a “follower” to keep the mixture from floating above the brine. A follower can be a couple of cabbage leaves or a layer of plastic wrap. I’ve seen silicone muffin cups used as well so you can get creative with this.

7. Top the follower with a weight to keep the mixture under the brine (and maintain the anaerobic environment). A weight can simply be a jar or sealed plastic baggie with water added or a plate. There are more and more options available on line too like glass and ceramic weights, etc. Again, you can get creative here.

8. Cover with vessel with a cloth if using a plate or top with an airlock device. Airlocks tend to keep bugs out better and reduce the occurrence of mold.

9. Label your vessel and set the it on a plate, baking sheet or in a bowl (to catch brine that may bubble out) and out of direct sunlight and in a cool area (between 55° and 75°). The top of my refrigerator works well for this. I use painters tape and write the name of the ferment, the date started, the range of fermentation time and anticipated harvest date to give me a quick visual to keep me on track.

10. Watch to make sure the mixture stays under the brine and push it down as needed. If you see mold, scoop it out. You can start to taste it after a week to see if you like it but most people prefer a 2 - 4 week fermentation time. It will become more sour, less salty and the veggies will still be crunch in 3 - 4 weeks. If the kraut smells bad or doesn’t taste good it is best to toss it and start over. Mold is normal but remove it before eating the kraut.

11. When the kraut is ready, remove the airlock, weight and follower, carefully remove any scum, mold or discolored veggies from the top and transfer into jars for storage. If you are using a smaller jar, you can top it with a plastic lid. Tamp down the kraut if needed. Store your finished product in the refrigerator.

Signs that your Kraut is ready:

• it looks somewhat translucent (not bright green anymore)

• it smells sour

• it is firm to the touch and not slimy

• it tastes pleasingly sour and pickle-like or tastes fabulous to you!

Some people don’t like their kraut as sour as others do. For a less sour kraut, reduce the fermentation time to between 2 & 3 weeks. Taste it along the way and refrigerate when you like it.

Basic Sauerkraut Recipe

yield: 1 quart

1 quart or larger fermenting vessel

1 1/2 pound green or red cabbage

2 teaspoons fine sea salt (non iodized)

1. Remove any course outer leaves from the cabbage and rinse in cold water. Keep an unblemished outer leave to use as a follower.

2. Quarter and core the cabbage and thinly slice. Transfer the slices to a large bowl.

3. Add the salt and massage it into the cabbage until the cabbage is limp, wilted and you can see liquid beginning to pool at the bottom of the bowl.

4. Pack the mixture in to a 1 quart mason jar a few handfuls at a time. Tamp down with your fist or tamper to remove air bubbles and to bring the brine to the surface. Leave 2 or 3 inches of head space.

5. Top with the folded up cabbage leaf (or other follower) and top with a weight. You can top the jar with an airlock too.

6. Set aside on a plate (to catch any brine drips) out of direct sunlight for 4 - 14 days. You can start to test the kraut on day 4. You’ll know it is ready when it tastes great to you.

7. When the kraut is ready, remove the airlock, weight and follower, carefully remove any scum, mold or discolored veggies from the top and transfer into jars for storage. If you are using a smaller jar, you can top it with a plastic lid. Tamp down the kraut if needed. Store your finished product in the refrigerator.

Homemade Ghee

1 pound (453.592 grams) grass-fed butter (such as KerryGold)

Place butter in large saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring butter to boil. This takes approximately 2 to 3 minutes. Once boiling, reduce heat to medium. The butter will form a foam which will disappear. Ghee is done when a second foam forms on top of the butter and the butter turns golden. This takes approximately 7 - 8 minutes. Keep an eye on the butter towards the end as it can finish fast and become very brown quickly. Brown milk solids will be in the bottom of the pan. Once the mixture has settled down a bit, gently pour into a heat-proof glass container through a strainer to strain out the solids or let them settle to the bottom and scoop out later after you've eaten the ghee. Store in airtight container being sure to keep free from moisture. Ghee does not need refrigeration and will keep in airtight container for up to 1 month.
