Creamy Golden Chick Pea & Kale Stew
Spiced chick peas are crisped in olive oil, the simmered in coconut milk for a crazy creamy stew often found in South India & parts of the Caribbean. The chick peas alone would be a great side dish, but then you'll add in stock, bolstered with dark, leafy greens of you choosing, and finish with a handful of fresh mint. Be sure to avid low fat coconut milk or the meant fo drinking: all are very different and would not be suitable here.
Ingredients:
1/4 cup olive oil, plus more for serving
4 garlic cloves or 2 shallots, chopped
1 large yellow onion, chopped
3 stick celery sliced thin
3 carrots cut in chunks
1, 2inch , peeve of ginger, grated

2, 15 oz cans of full fat coconut milk
2 cups vegetable or chicken stock

Garnish:
1 cup mint, chopped
Yogurt
Step 1
Heat oil in large pot over medium heat. Add garlic/shallots (if using), onion, celery & ginger. Season with sea salt & pepper. Put on low and let simmer for 5 min until onions are translucent.
Step 2
Add in turmeric, cumin, red pepper flakes, if using, and check peas. Let fry in spices for 8-10min. Stirring frequently. With a master, mask the chick peas to release the starch to thicken the stew.
Step 3
Add in the carrots, stock, coconut milk. Season with seas and pepper again.
Let simmer, stirring occasionally, until carrots cooked as you like and stew has thickened. 30-35 minutes.

Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies
I have adapted and "health-ed up' this recipe from a fantastic cookbook (ThePerfect Chocolate Chip Cookie) my roommate Cynthia gave me in business school. She knew when I was overwhelmed because ... I would start baking! This was in 1989! It was the start of my alternative baking and cooking career. I updated this recipe, multiple times, with the help of my kids, who have learned my 'techniques for years, and fully approve of this version! This is the latest version based on a double recipe of the original. If you only wan half the batch, do NOT just cut the amounts in half, email me and I'll let you know a smaller version. You can always contact me through the FB page: My Healthy Path * Manger Bien Etre Bien (Jennifer Triger). I make this quantity, then freeze what I do not want to bake that day. Typically I bake 6 at a time.
Makes 29 LARGE cookies
INGREDIENTS
Dry
515r whole flour (I use 50:50 buckwheat & einkorn (sarrasin & petit epeature) )
2 tsp (10gr) baking soda
1 tsp (6gr) seasalt
2 cup (300 gr) coconut sugar or rapadura
3 cups (600 grams) dark chocolate chips
Wet
4 eggs
2 TBL (25gr) pure vanilla extract
375gr butter- melted with the white foam (milk fat) skimmed off the top and put aside -
Measure out 285gr of this liquid. (or use ghee or clarified butter- which is what you have done here if you follow the instructions)
Method
Melt butter. As it melts you will see a white foam (the milk fat) rise to the surface. Skim this off. Let it simmer a few more minutes, you will hear popping noises. This is the water evaporating out of the butter. This takes about 10 minutes + . Put aside to cool a while you prepare the rest.
In a large bowl, sift flour with baking soda and seasalt. Mix in the 2 types of sugar. Make suer you press out and hard lumps of sugar with a fork or you hands.
In a separate bowl/container, blend all WET (liquid) ingredients together well. Clarified butter (ghee) + 4 eggs + vanilla. I use a very tall cup and blend with an immersion blender.
Pour blended liquid ingredients into dry. Mix.
Add chocolate chips.
I like large cookies. Scoop up batter with an ice-cream scoop.
Place on a cookie sheet and refridgerate for 1-3 hours.
Heat oven to 375F (175C).
When ready to bake place balls on cookie sheet well spaces. I put 6 per sheet. Press with the heel of you hand, so they flatten a bit.
Bake for 10-12 minutes. Let cool. ENJOY!
I freeze them most of them for the future once I have flattened them a bit.

VIn Chaud. Hot Wine
The best recipe you will ever find. Seriously. This crosses oceans- USA, UK,, NL, France. It will warn you up, but not knock you over.. ;)
It is actually a mix
of various Martha Stewart inspired hot
wine and hot cider recipes. You MUST
personalize the taste with the amount of spices you use. If you serve it in the afternoon, make sure
you serve it with Pepernoten, Dutch Spice Balls. You can find that recipe in the search. Heavenly. I love this season ... it is so Sweet and Spicy!!
2 bottles (750ml
each) fruity wine (ex. : Beaujolais,
Côte de Rhone, Shiraz))
1 bottle (1 liter) apple cider juice the more « raw and cloud the better
1 cup (250ml) maple
syrup
2 oranges or 4
tangerines, sliced
2 apples slices whole
so you get a « star » in the middle where the seeds are (it is so
pretty)
1 vanilla bean
4 cardamon pods
2 star anise
10 whole cloves
2 sticks of cinnamon
8 black peppercorns
Put wine and maple
syrup in large pot to slowly blend over medium heat. About 5 minutes, stirring
now and then. Add apple cider/juice, spices and fruit. Heat slowly over med
low heat as long as you can. Get the fruit well imbided.
The longer you heat it,
the less alcohol is in it. Add more
maple syrup to make it « smoother » if that is how you like it. Filter onto bottles. This will keep for weeks
in the fridge.
For +/- 100 people,
like for an Elementary School Christmas Market….
5 boxes of wine as
above , 3 bottles in each box
5 liters of apple juice/cider non alc
2 liters of maple
syrup
10 oranges
20 apples
large handful of star
anise
--- half that much of black peppercorns and of cloves and of cardamon
pods
10 cinnamon sticks
4 vanilla beans

Quinoa Salad
J'ai appris cette recette de ma cher ami
alcalinisant, Fiona. La «salade» ressemble à une salade de riz, mais oh,
tellement mielleure. Quinoa ( "keen-wa") est une graine qui nene
deviant pas de trempe au contact des la vinaigrette.
1c quinoa (sec)
1tsp sel de mer
4 cuillere a soupe d’huile d'olive
1/2-1 oignon (selon la quantité d'oignon
cru que vous voulez)
1 gousse d'ail finement haché (facultatif)
1 tomate hachée
1/2 concombre haché (enlever les pepins
d’abord)
1/2 bouquet des radis râpés
1 petit bloc de fromage feta brebis
1/2 bouquet de persil frais
1/2 bouquet de coriandre fraishe et / ou du
basilic et / oude l'estragon et / ou de
la menthe (cela dépend de vos saveurs ce jour-là.)
Cuire le Quinoa:
Mettez d'abord le quinoa dans une passoire
et rincez bien,en le massant pendant que l’eau coule a travers. Le quinoa a une
saveur amère si on ne le lave pas d’aboud.
Mettez dans une casserole avec de l'eau 2c
et 1 cuillère à café de sel de mer.
Porter à ébullition à feu vif. Couvrir. Tournez
ensuite à feu doux sur le plus petit feu.
Cuire pendant 15 minutes. Enlever le
couvercle et remueravec une fourchette pour laisser refroidir.
Pendant que le quinoa cuit:
Dans un plat pour servrir, mettez l'huile
d'olive. oignon hacher finement puis l'ail et le mettre dans l'huile d'olive.
Remuez en sorte qu’ie donne de a saveur a l’huile .
Enlever ;es pepins du concombre par 1)
l'épluchage, 2) coupé en 1/2 dans le longeur 3) coupé en 1/2, 4) avec une
cuillère juste gratter les graines.
Hacher finement le concombre et la tomate.
Émincer ou râper les radis. Vous pouvez vraiment ajouter vous les légumes crus
que vous voulez, coupés très bien, si vous voulez ajouter plus de légumes ou
plus de saveur! Hacher la feta, si utilise, en trespetits morceaux de sorte que
vous obtenez beaucoup de petits morceaux de blanc dans la salade. Ajouter les
herbes finement hachées.
Mettre le quinoa sur le dessus de l'huile
d'olive / oignon / ail (opt) vinaigrette
et laisser refroidir ensans remuler.
Ensuite, mettre tous les légumes et les
herbes hachées sur le dessus, tandis que le quinoa se refroidit. Bien que vous
pouvez faire tout cela tout de suite si vous avez besoin de le servir!’est tres
bon legerment chaud aussi!
Enfin, Remuer le tout à la dernière minute
pour donner les oignons assez de temps pour aromatiser la vinaigrette(c’est une
vieille technique italienne que j’ai apprise par mon ami Guiseppe!)
Servez! Apportez-le pour un pique-nique et
vous n’avez pas a vous soucier ramener les restes! Meme les enfants aiment ce
plat.
Gateau a la Banane- ULTIME!
Cette recette est inspirée de
"The Banana Bread Ultime” Cook's Illustrated magazine, une source
d'inspiration et de science culinaire pour moi. Cette recette est tout à fait
extraordinaire. Il réduit le jus des bananes pour augmenter la saveur .... En
bonus, seulement de bonnes graisses et sans sucre, sans œufs ou de
produits laitiers. :) Les graines de lin non seulement remplacent les œufs
comme liant, mais ils ajoutent un goût de noisette étonnant .... la nature telle
qu'elle peut être.
SEC
300 gr de farine non blanchie
(j'utilise l'épeautre)
1 cuillère à café de bicarbonate de
soude
1/2 cuillère à café de sel de mer
250 gr pepities de chocolat (facultif)
HUMIDE
6 grosses bananes très mûres et
pelées. **Congelez les et décongelez (gardez le jus !! - il est la clé!)* Vous
pouvez aussi les utiliser fraîches et utiliser un micro-ondes (voir les
instructions)
8 cuillères à soupe (125 grams)
d'huile de noix de coco, fondu, légèrement refroidi
3 cuillères à soupe de graines de
lin moulues + de l'eau (voir les instructions)
175 ml de sirop d'érable ou du sirop
de riz ou de sirop d'agave
1 cuillère à soupe d'extrait
de vanille
1. Préparer le lin moulu en le
fouettant dans un petit bol avec 7 cuillères à soupe d'eau. Laisser reposer
pour obtenir une texture gluante.
2. Préchauffer le four à 350F /
175C. Huilez les moules , saupoudrer un peu de sucre muscovado non raffiné pur
(ou ce que vous avez) sur le fond. Trancher une banane et disposez sur le
fond des moules. Les meilleures options sont des moules à pain ou
carrés. Il suffit d'ajouter un peu
plus de temps de cuisson pour le moule à pain car il est plus épais. Mettre de
côté.
3. Si vous utilisez des bananes
décongelés, récupérer le jus !!! Mettez-le dans une petite casserole et
chauffer à feu doux pour réduire en un sirop léger. Habituellement, environ 5
min. Réduisez le plus possible.
SEC
4. Mélanger tous les ingrédients
secs dans un grand bol. La farine, le bicarbonate de soude et le sel de mer.
HUMIDE
5. Ecrasez les bananes et
ré-incorporer le jus réduit. Mélanger tous les ingrédients humides ajouter les
graines de lin. Finalement, ajoutez l'huile de coco fondu, le sirop d'érable /
riz / d'agave, l'extrait de vanille et le mélange graines / eau de lin.
Personnellement, je mélange toute les ingrédients humides avec un mixer à IMMERSION.
6.Verser dans le mélange
d'ingrédients secs.
7. Verser dans le moule et taper le
moule jusqu'à ce que le mélange soit uniformément répartie.
8. Ajouter les petites de chocolat.
8. Cuire au four pendant environ 45
minutes! Vérifier la cuisson. La cuisson est similaire aux muffins.
9. Essayez de garder ce gâteau sur
un plat de service plus d'un après-midi ....
Soit dit en passant, pour vous
amateurs de France ... ce gâteau est parfait pour cacher une fève lors de la
saison de la Galette des Roi !!
