alternativista 1243 Share Posted February 3, 2009 Easy Lemon Lentil Soup with SpinachIngredients * 1 1/2 cups red lentils, rinsed * 1 cup chopped tomatoes with their juice * 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil * 1/4 teaspoon turmeric * 8 whole garlic cloves, peeled * 4 slices fresh ginger (each about the size of a quarter) * 1 sprig fresh rosemary * 1 bay leaf * 10 ounces (1 bag) washed baby spinach * 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice * Coarse sea salt or kosher salt to taste * Freshly ground black pepper DirectionsCombine 6 cups of water with the lentils in a 3- to 4-quart saucepan over high heat. Skim off the foam as the lentils begin to boil. Add tomatoes, oil, turmeric, and garlic. Reduce the heat to a simmer. Wrap ginger, rosemary, and bay leaf in a piece of cheesecloth, tie it closed with kitchen string, and add to the pan. Simmer until the lentils are tender and the garlic is soft; discard the cheesecloth.Add the spinach and simmer until wilted. Stir in the lemon juice. Crush the garlic against the side of the pot with the back of a spoon and stir so that it melts into the soup. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and serve.------------------------Except you should crush or finely chop the garlic and let it sit for 10 minutes or so before cooking, rather than cook whole. Crushing the cells activates enzymes that start converting compounds into their most usable, potent form and would otherwise be prevented by cooking and destroying the enzymes. This applies to onions and apparently to many other plant foods foods.

meat_pirate86 1 Share Posted March 3, 2009 Acne-Free Spaghet-ti!Gluten/Casein/Sugar/Soy/Nut/Egg-Free - Low-Protein/Carb, High-Fat serves 11 zucchini1 can pure tomato paste2 tbspns olive oil1 pinch sea salt1 pinch apple cider vinegar or balsamic vinegar1 dash hot sauce1 pkg chicken or turkey sausage gluten-free1 tsp tamari soy sauce gluten-free1 tsp ghee1/4 cup waterTurn on an element to low-medium and add ghee and water. Place a couple sausages in the mixture and cover. I have a small peeler that creates thin noodles, so I peel the zucchini and make spaghetti out of it. It takes less time to prepare than cooking pasta, it's raw too - much less processed! I combine the olive oil, sea salt and zucchini 'noodles' and mix well. The oil and salt slightly soften the 'noodles' and they'll end up al dente. Check on the sausages. Flip them over. Adjust heat if necessary. When one side of them browns, flip them over and add the GF tamari, cover again. Once the other side is brown, turn off heat and place sausages on cutting board to cool.Next I add a heaping teaspoon of tomato paste to the 'noodles'.I add the clear yellow fat from the sausages to the spaghetti mixture. I'm used to a high-fat diet so if you want to skip this step, feel free =) but it does make it taste wonderful.Cut up the sausages. Add some and put the remainder in the fridge, remainder of tomato paste as well. Finish with a pinch of vinegar and hot sauce for digestion; bon apetit!I just ate this, and oh man...better than pasta.Do your dishes yo! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

meat_pirate86 1 Share Posted April 14, 2009 Canadian Pea Soup1 pork shank (I used the meaty bones of a bone-in salted ham I got on sale and prepared for family dinner @ Easter, therefore I added small cubes of ham in with the veggies)3 quarts water2 1/2 cups peas1 medium chopped sweet onion1 medium grated carrot1 bay leafSoak and rinse peas for 10 minutes in lukewarm water.Combine first 3 ingredients and boil gently for 3 hours. Add vegetables and simmer for 1/2 hour more. This soup is delicious. If you have a large bone-in ham, I would suggest doubling this recipe, as it is really very good and makes for quick meals on nights you can't cook. Healthy! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

alternativista 1243 Share Posted May 21, 2009 Canadian Pea Soup.... You mean dried split peas, right? Not fresh? I love split pea soup. It's not a Canadian thing, though it is kind of a cold weather thing. I think this a good thing to do with fresh or frozen peas: Veggie Puree Soup Just boil up some aromatics like onion, garlic, carrot, along with peas and a potato, then puree. You can use any veggies you like, but I think the texture and color is nicest when it's primarily peas and a bit of potato. Also, you get more flavor for soups if you saute and even brown the onions, garlic and other hard veggies first, then add water to boil other veggies. Also, that way you can make sure the hard things get cooked without overcooking the softer things. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I wish I could eat pizza I use this safetoeatfood brand with: 83% tomatoes 14% tomato puree 1.5% extra virgin olive oil Sea salt Black pepper Can't be safer than that If you want to make your own just put some tomatoes and a clove of garlic with a small bit of olive oil and puree into a blender, that's what I do Quote Link to post Share on other sites

alternativista 1243 Share Posted July 6, 2009 Kale & Potato Hash From EatingWell Magazine October/November 2005 A variation of a mashed potato and kale dish traditional in Ireland and elsewhere in Europe. Do this with sweet potatoes instead or in combo. And you can use frozen chopped greens Serve as a side with a steak or pork chops or set a poached egg on top for a hearty breakfast or brunch.Makes 4 servings, 1/2 cup eachACTIVE TIME: 35 minutesTOTAL TIME: 35 minutes8 cups torn kale leaves (about 1/2 large bunch; see Tip)2 tablespoons horseradish1 medium shallot, minced1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper1/4 teaspoon salt2 cups cooked shredded potatoes (see Ingredient note)3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil1. Place kale in a large microwave-safe bowl, cover and microwave until wilted, about 3 minutes. Drain, cool slightly, and finely chop.2. Meanwhile, mix horseradish, shallot, pepper and salt in a large bowl. Add the chopped kale and potatoes; stir to combine. 3. Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the kale mixture, spread into an even layer and cook, stirring every 3 to 4 minutes and returning the mixture to an even layer, until the potatoes begin to turn golden brown and crisp, 12 to 15 minutes total.NUTRITION INFORMATION: Per serving: 240 calories; 12 g fat (2 g sat, 8 g mono); 0 mg cholesterol; 30 g carbohydrate; 6 g protein; 5 g fiber; 244 mg sodium.TIP: Tip: A 1- to 1 1/2-pound bunch of kale yields 16 to 24 cups of chopped leaves.When preparing kale for these recipes, remove the tough ribs, chop or tear the kale as directed, then wash it--allowing some water to cling to the leaves. The moisture helps steam the kale during the first stages of cooking.Ingredient Note: Fresh, partially cooked, shredded potatoes for hash browns can be found in the refrigerated produce section and sometimes in the dairy section of most supermarkets. Alternatively, boil potatoes until they can just be pierced with a fork but are not completely tender. Let cool slightly, then shred. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Also I added a bit of Silk soymilk to make it creamier. 1. Soak lentil overnight. 2. Cut onion and crush garlic - let sit. 3. Simmer lentils in pot. 4. In another pot add onion, garlic, tomato juice/paste, vegetable stock, and bananna peppers and simmer. 5. Once lentils are mostly cooked remove from heat and drain/rinse and add to your other pot. 6. Let simmer maybe 5 minutes stirring occasionally. 7. Remove from heat and transfer to bowl where you stir in agave nectar, cumin, turmeric, EVOO, pepper, and other spices. 8. Enjoy!
