This beauty of a gem belongs to Butter Believe.
Starting out with the new lifestyle and way of eating one has to go through the pantry and fridge to look at the labels and read all the harsh additives and what not to see if it's trash or keep.
It will be a slow process but this also give one time to hone those kitchen witchery skills to make better and healthier products at home. Why spend good $$$ when you can make it cheaper but healthier? I've been doing this for a while but if your just starting out making it yourself it's worth it and with time and practice you hone these skills and mass market products will be a thing of the past.
So I am sharing with you a few recipes that will help you get started on this journey if you so choose to do it.
Recipe: Coconut Oil Mayonnaise
Makes about 1 1/2 cups mayo.
Ingredients:
1 whole, pastured egg2 pastured egg yolks
1 T dijon mustard
Juice of ½ small lemon
½ teaspoon sea salt
Pepper to taste (I like a few shakes of white pepper) <- I agree with this, I use white pepper as well
½ cup quality olive oil
½ cup coconut oil, extra-virgin or refined
Secret ingredient: 1 T plain whole milk yogurt, plus an additional 1 T whey (optional)
Instructions:
In a blender or food processor, mix the eggs, yolks, mustard, lemon juice, salt and pepper. Melt your coconut oil over a very low heat, just to let it turn from a solid to a liquid. You do not want it hot, or it will “cook” the eggs.
Now, you’re going to need to slowly pour in your oils while your food processor/blender is running at a low speed. You need to do this very slowly, just pouring a very thin stream—pouring through the two little holes in the lid of your food processor help to accomplish this. Once all the oils are emulsified, add in your yogurt and/or whey if you’d like. The yogurt gives it a semi-sweet and tangy flavor and can help it stay fresh, but the whey is what will really help the mayo keep longer (about a month, versus a week or so). Refrigerate and enjoy! ( Please to make sure that you thank Butter Believe it this recipe!)
The Picture above is coconut butter. Now I did ask if I could use my emulsion blender and apparently that's a no go you need a kick ass blender or food processor to make this. She's got tons more recipes that you can check out (here)
When you look at the index don't get scared that she has so many wonderful recipes. Just start with basics. She has such recipes as: Ghee, Guacamole, Homemade Vanilla Almond Milk, Magic Mushroom Powder, and more. She also has book out with the same name (Nom Nom Paleo).
The great thing about making broths and stocks is that yes you can- can them up and use for recipes in the future that call for them. I have done this many times and sadly I have none left. Thanks to Stupid easy paleo I can make them better and healthier!
