Holy Guacamole!
4 servings
20 min. prep time

4 ripe avocados
1 medium heirloom tomato
1 fresh squeezed lime or lemon
1 tbsp olive oil
1-2 fresh minced garlic cloves
¼ cup red onion
½ minced jalapeno
1 tbsp minced shallot
2 sprigs cilantro
½ tbsp chipotle or cajun spice
2 tsp turmeric
1-2 tsp cayenne
1 tsp chili flakes pinch himalayan pink salt pinch of black pepper

optional additions:

1 cup of beans
½ cup local
raw goat cheese
1 tbsp of butter
1 tbsp nutritional yeast
1 tsp cayenne

In a large bowl mash the ripe avocados together.
Add olive oil, fresh-squeezed lemon or lime and all spices into the avocado mash.
Mince red onion, shallot, garlic, cilantro and chop heirloom tomatoes. Add to guacamole.
Mix all the ingredients until desired texture is achieved.
Adjust flavors as necessary to liking and enjoy!

Tips:

Adding chipotle is nice for a smokey flavor, especially if you choose to add in beans. The beans will also enhance a more satiating effect making this a great potluck item leaving everyone satisfied!
Butter may sound weird, but it actually taste great! Cut about a tbsp amount of butter and throw it in your guacamole. We use Kerigold unsalted butter if we do this.
If you have access to a local, organic and raw source of goat cheese this makes a nice addition. However, due to the scarcity of this circumstance you may choose to add pasteurized cheese if you are dairy-friendly as you’d like.
Nutritional yeast makes a great alternative for that zesty, cheesy flavor everyone can enjoy!

1-2 cups of filtered water
½ cup apple cider vinegar
1 medium-sized lemon (fresh-squeezed)
2 tbsp of himalayan pink salt
1 tsp cumin powder

Prepare the red onions by placing them into a large Pyrex bowl. The total yield is dependent upon how much the amount of onions added.
Add water, apple cider vinegar, lemon juice and all spices to the Pyrex bowl.

Image by Caitlyn Tischer

6-8 servings
1 day

5 cups water
2 cups gluten-free oats
2 cups oat groats
1 tbsp vanilla extract

Blend all of the ingredients.
Strain the mixture using a cheesecloth into a glass container.
The remaining fibrous oat mixture can be turned into oat yogurt or can be dispensed.
Depending on taste and texture, add cup of water to acquire a thick and creamy consistency.

Tips:

The milk can be sweetened by adding 1-2 Medjool dates.
Flavored oat milk can be obtained by adding freeze-dried fruit powders or extracts.
Don't use metal lids or spoons to stir this, it may alter the flavor. This milk will separate after short a period of time and need to be mixed after sitting.
This recipe pairs well with buckwheat granola.

Oat Yogurt

3/6/2017

0 Comments

Image by Caitlyn Tischer

2 servings
2-3 day prep time

4 cups filtered water
2 ½ cups gluten free oat groats, steel cut or rolled oats
½ cup unsweetened coconut shreds
4 Brazil nuts
1 tsp vanilla bean or extract
1 tsp cinnamon or cinnamon chips
½ tsp Himalayan salt

topping additions:

1 cup local, seasonal fruit (if possible)
2 T nut butter
1 T raisins
1 T hemp seeds
1 T sunflower seeds
1 T cacao nibz

optional additions:

⅓ cup local honey, stevia, maple syrup or medjool dates
1 T cacao powder
1 tsp maca
¼ tsp cardamom
¼ tsp nutmeg

Grind oat groats, steel cut, rolled oats cut oats into flour using a high speed blender, grain mill or food processor.
Soak oat grinds/flour overnight. Be sure to leave a little water for the oats to absorb.
Blend the soaked oats with 4 cups of water and remaining ingredients. Add in any optional additions here. Save the toppings for later.
Add the blended consistency into a large sealable container and cover using a plate, coffee filter or cheesecloth with a rubber band.
Allow oat mixture to ferment in a warm or sunny spot in your home for the next 2-3 days. Depending on sour preference end the process at anytime as long as 12 hours was granted to ferment.
Once ready to eat add in parfait toppings. Enjoy!

Tips:

We prefer our yogurt on the sour side. We let it go for 3 days including the first 12 hour soak. It also depends on your climate how fast the process will go and the home you live in.
If you’re feeling creative blend in fresh fruit after the fermentation process to give it a specific flavor or simply meal prep your parfaits mixing in frozen or fresh fruit the night before.
