0 Comments

 
Picture
2 large pieces cod
salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste
3 tablespoons dairy free sour cream
1/4 tsp. garlic powder
1/4 tsp. dill weed
2 drops Lemon Essential Oil
3 tablespoons sliced green onion, finely chopped

Place cod in baking dish and blot dry with paper towels. Let it come to room temperature while you prep other ingredients. Preheat oven to 375F.

In a small bowl, stir together the sour cream, garlic powder, dill weed, and lemon oil. Stir in 2 tablespoons green onions. Spread an even coating over each piece of the fish, using all the topping mixture.

Bake fish until the internal temperature reaches 145F/62C, or until firm, but not hard to the touch. They should be flaky. Probably about 20-25 minutes. Serve hot, sprinkled with remaining sliced green onions.

Carrot and Ginger Rice with Mint

12/18/2014

0 Comments

 
Living magazine had a great recipe this fall. I omitted the mint, but it's up to you.

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 cup jasmine rice
1 and ¼ teaspoons salt
2 cups carrot juice
5 drops Ginger Essential Oil
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh mint

Preheat oven to 350 degrees (325 convection)
Heat a 1 or 2 quart saucepan over high heat until heat can be felt radiating from the surface of the pan when your hand is held about six inches from the bottom of the pan. Be sure to stay with the pan while being heated and turn off heat source.
Add olive oil to the pan and tilt to spread evenly.
Add rice and salt; stir frequently to keep from burning. When rice starts to turn opaque, remove pan from heat and gradually add carrot juice.
Add ginger essential oil and place lid on the pan (or cover tightly with foil) and place in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
Remove from oven and let sit covered for 10 minutes
Remove cover and fluff rice with a fork.
Stir in the fresh chopped mint and serve hot.

  • 1 cup quinoa
  • 2 cups water
  • Pinch of salt
  • Sweet Citrus Dressing:
  • 3 tbsp agave or honey
  • 2-4 drops lemon/lime essential oil
  • (add 1 drop peppermint essential oil for a fun variation)
  • Fruit:
  • 1 cups blueberries
  • 1 cups chopped blackberries
  • 1½ cups chopped strawberries
  • 1 cups chopped pineapple chunks
  • (use whatever fruit you’d like in whatever proportions you’d like)

Prepare the quinoa by rinsing under cold water and then adding it with the water and salt to a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Boil for 5 minutes.

Turn heat to low and simmer for around 15 minutes, or until water is absorbed. Remove from heat and fluff with a fork. 

To make the dressing, mix the agave with the drops of essential oil and pour over the quinoa.

 Add fruit to the quinoa mixture. Stir well to mix. Serve chilled or at room temperature.

Chicken Thigh Stew with Squash and Rice

12/11/2014

0 Comments

 
Picture
8 bone-in skinless chicken thighs
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
GF flour for dredging
3 tablespoons coconut oil
2 tablespoons EVOO
3 to 4 cloves garlic, chopped
2 medium or 1 large onion, chopped
1 fresh red chile
2 round tablespoons ras el hanout (recipe below)
1/8 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
3 cups chicken stock
1 medium butternut squash, peeled and cut into 2-inch chunks
One 28-ounce can diced tomatoes
1 bunch spinach leaves (about 3 cups)
2 drops Ginger Essential Oil
1 drop Cardamom Essential Oil
2 drops Cinnamon Essential Oil
1 drop Clove Essential Oil
1/2 cup red or brown lentils
1 cup long-grain rice
1 drop Cilantro Essential Oil
1 cup pomegranate seeds
1/2 cup thinly sliced scallions

Sprinkle the chicken thighs with salt and pepper and dredge in flour. Melt 2 tablespoons coconut oil with the EVOO in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Brown the chicken until crisp, and then remove from the pan. Add the garlic, onions and chiles and sprinkle with some salt. Stir in the ras el hanout, and nutmeg, and cook until the vegetables are tender, 10 to 12 minutes.

Pour in 2 cups of the stock along with the squash and tomatoes and simmer 15 minutes. Return the chicken to the pot and simmer to cook through, 10 minutes longer. Add the essential oils and the spinach. Cook until it's wilted. (I didn't have any this time, so it is omitted in the picture.) 

Cook the lentils in boiling salted water until tender, 7 to 10 minutes for red lentils, 15 minutes for brown. (I usually black beans this time, so use what ever legume you like.) Drain and reserve. Meanwhile, bring the remaining 1 cup stock, 3/4 cup water and the remaining 1 tablespoon butter to a boil in another small saucepot. Add the cilantro oil. Add the rice and bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer and cook until tender, 16 to 18 minutes. Fluff with a fork, and then combine with the lentils, pomegranate, and scallions. Serve with the chicken.

Ras el hanout Spice Recipe
1 1/2 teaspoons chili powder
1 1/2 teaspoons cumin
1 1/2 teaspoons coriander
1 1/2 teaspoons turmeric

Living Magazine from Spring 2014 had some great oils to add to your tea or just with water. To avoid an overpowering flavor, dip a toothpick in the center of the dripper cap and swirl in liquid. Repeat until desired strength is reached. Also, make sure your water is taken off the heat right before it begins to boil. Essential oils can be used in hot as well as cold drinks.
