Sprouting Lentils - Page in NT: 115

Here are the benefits of sprouting:

Sprouting neutralizes phytic acid, which if present will not allow as much calcium, magnesium, iron, copper and zinc to be absorbed during digestion

It also increases the amount of B vitamins and carotene

Vitamin C is created in the process of sprouting

Complex sugars responsible for intestinal gas are broken down

Sprouting also inactivates aflatoxins, which are potent carcinogens found in grains

During sprouting additional enzymes are produced during the germination process that help digestion

Ingredients:

1 cup dried lentils
1 quart Mason jar with the screw top, but either no lid or with a circle of screen so that air can get through (can poke holes in the lid)

Preparation:

Rinse lentils and pick out any small stones or floaters. Drain, put in the Mason jar, put on screw top and lid with holes or screening. Set the Mason jar on its side. Rinse lentils a couple times per day (this is where the screen is good). Sprout the lentils for 2-3 days until the sprouts are about 1/4 inch long. Steam or cook lightly, or use in lentil recipes such as Teriyaki Lentils.

1 tablespoons lemon juice
1 dash coconut amino
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil – add more to desired consistency
2 T apple cider vinegar
Freshly ground black pepper

Place the garlic on a cutting board, smash/chop, make a paste with mustard, whisk the whole egg, egg yolk, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar and liquid amino, and beat until smooth. Slowly add the oil, whisking constantly until the vinaigrette has emulsified. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

two tablespoon lime juice

3 cloves garlic minced

1/2 cup fresh cilantro

1/2 jalapeno pepper minced

two tablespoon green onion minced

1/2 teaspoon salt or more to taste

add avocados and the rest of the ingredients, process to combine

Kale Guacamole
* 3 to 4 big leaves of curly green kale (the Tuscan/lacinato variety also works well)
* 4 medium ripe avocados, halved and pitted
* 3 to 4 tablespoons lime juice (about 1 ½ medium limes), divided, to taste
* ¾ teaspoon kosher salt, to taste
* ⅓ cup roughly chopped red onion
* ¼ cup roughly chopped fresh cilantro, lightly packed
* 1 small jalapeño, seeds and membranes removed, roughly chopped

INSTRUCTIONS
1. To prepare the kale, first remove the tough ribs with a chef’s knife and discard them. Chop the kale into small, bite-sized pieces. Sprinkle it lightly with salt, followed by a squeeze of lime juice (about 1 teaspoon). Massage the kale by scrunching it up in your hands, repeating until the kale is darker green and fragrant (this step softens the kale and makes it less bitter). You’ll need 1 cup (packed) kale for the guacamole, so measure it out and set it aside
2. Next, use a spoon to scoop the flesh of the avocados into the bowl of a food processor, discarding any bruised, browned areas. Add 3 tablespoons lime juice and the salt. Blend until the mixture is fairly smooth, pausing to scrape down the sides as necessary.
3. Add the massaged kale, onion, cilantro and jalapeño. Blend until the mixture is mostly smooth, with only tiny bits of kale and onion remaining (or completely smooth, if you prefer). Taste, and add additional salt and/or lime juice, if necessary, and blend again (I usually add up to ½ teaspoon more salt and another tablespoon of lime juice). Serve immediately.

Hot Spinach Artichoke Dip

Tips for making Hot Spinach Dip

I like the frozen artichoke hearts instead of the canned since canned is either too vinegary or oily with questionable oils

It is most important to get the spinach and artichokes as dry as you can or your dip will be a bit watery (but still good!).

Make this a complete gluten free appetizer by serving with veggie sticks and/or corn chips fried in coconut oil.

Ingredients:

1 cup (packed) thawed, chopped frozen spinach

1 1/2 cups thawed, chopped frozen artichoke hearts

6 ounces cream cheese softened

1/4 cup sour cream or crème friache

1/4 cup mayonnaise

1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes or Tabasco (omit for nightshade free and use black pepper instead)

1/4 teaspoon Celtic sea salt

1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

Preparation:

Steam spinach and artichokes until tender, let drain and cool. Remove as much liquid as you can with paper towels. Mix all ingredients together well and put in an oval oven safe crock. At this point you could put in fridge until the next day or right before the party if you want.

Set oven to 325 and cook the spinach artichoke dip for 15-20 or until bubbly and slightly brown on top. Serve with homemade whole grain crackers, fresh cut vegetables, or tortilla chips fried in coconut oil for a gluten free treat.

Tzatziki- starting with well-drained yogurt is key.

2 c NF plain yogurt, (see below for straining instructions)

1 cucumber peeled, seeds removed, shredded and juices squeezed out

1 Tb White Vinegar

1 Tb Olive Oil

Fresh chopped dill to your preference

2 cloves finely minced/pressed fresh Garlic*

Line a sieve or colander with 2 layers of cheese cloth. Pour in the 2 cups of yogurt. Gather up the edges of the cheese cloth and fasten with a twist-tie. Set the sieve into another bowl to drain. Set in the refrigerator to strain for at least 2 hours, preferably over-night. Occasionally wring the cheesecloth to press out more fluid.

Combine all ingredients together with strained yogurt and mix well. Serve with Pita wedges or fresh vegetables for dipping, or use to garnish Gyros or Falafel. Keep refrigerated. (Continued)

(Continued) * While this will last several days in the fridge, the fresh garlic can become very spicy and overpowering by the second day, so consider reserving the garlic until last, divide the recipe and only add garlic to the portion you will serve that day. Or reduce the amount of garlic that you add and add more as the days progress if you desire.

Mary's Oil Blend:

Mix the following ingredients together in a glass jar, cover tightly and store at room temperature:

1 cup coconut oil, gently melted

1cup expeller-expressed or cold-pressed sesame oil

1 cup extra virgin olive oil

"This wonderful blend of three oils can be used in salad dressings or as cooking oil. When used for cooking, flavors come through beautifully and the blend does not burn as easily as pure coconut oil. In salads, it provides all the benefits of coconut oil and does not have the strong taste of olive oil. In mayonnaise, it provides firmness when chilled. Be sure that the sesame oil you purchase is truly expeller expressed or cold pressed, since the very high temperatures used during processing destroy the

Unique protective antioxidants in sesame oil. Since we use this blend in many recipes, we suggest you make enough to have on hand whenever you need it."

Ketchup

Ingredients:

12 ounces tomato paste

1 teaspoon salt

0.5 teaspoon cinnamon

2 pinches cloves

2 pinches all spice

2 pinches cayenne

.5 teaspoons garlic powder

1 teaspoons onion powder

4 Tablespoons white wine vinegar

.5 cups water

Ketchup

Tomato Ketchup (Lacto-Fermented) - yields about 1 1/2 cups)

12 ounces organic tomato paste (no salt added)
1/4 cup water
1/8 cup whey* (or an additional 1/8 cup water)
2 Tablespoons apple cider vinegar; I prefer natural raw, organic for this recipe (i.e. Bragg's)
1/4 teaspoon ground mustard (dry mustard)
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon cloves
1/8 teaspoon allspice
1/8 teaspoon cayenne
pinch garlic powder
pinch onion powder
1/2 to 1 teaspoon sea salt (to taste)
1/4-1/3 cup sweetener of your choice (agave syrup, honey, maple syrup, molasses, barley malt, or a combination of any of those.)

Note: This recipe is a basic guideline, so I suggest starting with 1 Tablespoon vinegar, and add more to your taste. (I use the full 2 Tablespoons.) You may prefer to add more sweetener if you like sweeter ketchup, and be sure to taste after you mix it, adjusting seasonings to your liking... the ketchup mellows as it ages.

Directions:

Place all ingredients in a non-reactive bowl (glass or enamel), and whisk together until completed blended. Pour or ladle sauce into clean, dry containers (I prefer glass). Cover and leave at room temperature for two days (to encourage fermentation.) After two days store in refrigerator.

Lacto fermented mustard:

1 ½ cups ground mustard

½ cup filtered water

2 T whey

2 tsp. Sea salt

Mayonnaise

Ingredients

1 whole egg
1 egg yolk
1 tsp. organic Dijon mustard
1 1/2 TBL lemon juice
1 Table liquid whey (optional - do not use powdered whey from the store)
1 cup expeller pressed sunflower oil, extra virgin olive oil or a combination (olive oil makes a much stronger tasting mayo)
large pinch of sea salt

Mayo: Making Homemade Mayonnaise-tastes yummy, is quick and easy to make

Equipment:

You will need a stick blender. I bought this blender in order to make my mayo, but have found it to be a great kitchen tool for many other things. I can puree my tomato soup right in the pot, and have found it to be very useful in pureeing things for my baby as well. It is super easy to clean, which is a big plus for me!

Ingredients:

2-4 egg yolks (I use farm fresh eggs from my local farmer)

½ tsp. mustard

1-2 Tbsp. lemon juice (of course fresh is optimal, but you’ll notice below I cheated with store bought stuff L )

1 tsp. balsamic vinegar

2 tsp. white wine vinegar

1 tsp. Celtic sea salt

¾ c. oil- hemp or grape seed (I use grape seed)

1. Combine everything EXCEPT the oil. I use a container just large enough for the stick blender to go into.

2. Mix with a stick blender until creamy.

3. While blending, add the oil in small increments and mix until it’s homogenized. My daughter holds the container in place while I pour oil with one hand and with the other I lift the blender up and down as its blending- the quick up and down motion helps the mixture to homogenize, and it will thicken right up.

The finished product!

That’s it! This mayonnaise lasts about 2 weeks in the refrigerator

Honey Mustard Dip or Salad Dressing

Rating: 3 forks (key)

Difficulty:

Easy

Tips for making Honey Mustard

Use different mustards such as Dijon for a slightly different taste.

This recipe is good enough to serve to guests! It has a ton of flavor.

Add fresh herbs to dress up this sauce even more, such as thyme.

Mix up per the recipe but then taste and add more of any ingredient as you wish. The ratio should be pleasing to you.

Ingredients:

1 cup mayonnaise
1 Tablespoon prepared yellow mustard
1 Tablespoon raw honey

Preparation:

Combine all ingredients and thin down with the milk if using for salad dressing. Will keep in the fridge for a week or more, depending on the freshness of the mayonnaise used.

Seasonings:

TACO SEASONING MIX

3 TB chili powder

2 TB flour (wheat works)

2 teas. Ground cumin

2 teas. Dried oregano, crushed

1/2 teas. Onion powder (I omit)

1/2 teas. Garlic powder

1/2 teas. Salt

1/2 teas. Cayenne pepper

Combine and store in glass jar with lid. I at least triple this recipe, so I only have to make it once in a while. It calls for 1/4 cup of the above mix, for 1 # of ground beef, but I just guess and dump. Works well in browned ground beef, cooked chicken or turkey. I have made up huge batches for taco bar for extended family gatherings and then kept them warm in a crock pot. When serving to guests I usually mix in tomato juice, or V-8, or tomato sauce (for ground beef), or chicken broth (canned, for chicken or turkey). Otherwise, add a bit of water so it doesn't get too dry when you warm it up. This mix also works for last minute seasoning for beans, for enchiladas, etc.

Ingredients

½ cup freshly peeled and grated ginger root

½ cup freshly grated horseradish root

1 medium onion chopped

10 cloves of garlic crushed or chopped

2 organic jalapeño peppers chopped

1 lemon zest and juice

2 Tablespoons dried rosemary leaves

1 Tablespoon turmeric powder or 2 Tablespoons freshly grated turmeric root

¼ teaspoon cayenne powder

organic unfiltered apple cider vinegar

¼ cup raw honey or to taste

Instructions

Add ginger, horseradish, onion, garlic, jalapeño peppers, lemon zest and juice, rosemary, turmeric and cayenne powder into quart-sized glass jar.

Pour apple cider vinegar in the jar until all the ingredients are fully covered and the vinegar reaches the top of the jar. You want to be sure all the ingredients are covered to prevent spoilage.

Use a piece of natural parchment paper under the lid to keep the vinegar from touching the metal, or use a plastic lid if you have one.

Shake jar to combine all the ingredients and store in a dark, cool place for 4-6 weeks, remembering to shake the jar a few seconds every day.

After one month, use a mesh strainer or cheesecloth to strain out the solids, pouring the vinegar into a clean jar. Be sure to squeeze out as much of the liquid as you can. This stuff is liquid gold! The solids can be used in a stir-fry or you can compost/discard them.

Add honey to the liquid and stir until incorporated.

Taste your fire cider and add more honey if needed until you reach your desired sweetness.

Store in a sealed container in the refrigerator or in a cold, dark place.

Drink 1-2 Tablespoons when needed.

For an extra protein boost (which helps curb hunger pains), add almond butter or protein powder. For an extra dash of sweetness, add maple syrup and stir through.
