“Peaty” Sweets, Sauces, Starches & Other Splurges

[Rinse & rePeat]

Somewhat. They look really really fantastic. I think you should make a cookbook. Seriously. It's so hard to come up with Peaty kind of ideas. Your family must love you for sure.

Thank you! You I have gotten to their hearts through their stomachs alright. I have so many more "Peaty" and not enough time to get to them fast enough!

Well thanks for sharing with us. I am looking forward to seeing your ideas.

"Peatier" PESTO

1. Gather ingredients. Wash the basil and parsley and pat dry well.

2. Measure equal parts of both organic fresh basil leaves and Italian parsley leaves, no stems of either, equaling a pressed, but loose, 2 cups.

3. Put the basil and parsley in a small food processor (or chopper, like mine). Add in about 1/4 cup of roasted & salted macadamias.

4. Squeeze in a couple teaspoons of fresh lemon juice and give it a couple big pinches of salt.

5. Add to the leaves and macadamias some freshly grated parmesan, about 1/4 cup.

6. Add in 2 tablespoons each liquid coconut oil and good olive oil. Puree to desired texture.

This is "Peater" for a couple of reasons. First, the use of the RP approved macadamias, rather than the usual almonds or pine nuts and also because of the liquid coconut oil swap. Homemade pesto calls for pure olive oil and store bought pesto is even worse with safflower and canola oils! I like this best to dip marinated and grilled shrimp skewers in. I also have been known to use it on a Caprice salad, sub sandwiches, homemade pizza, pasta, or as a warm sauce with added cream on chicken cutlets. Even a couple of slices of mozzarella dipped in it is a dream!

Here is a few seconds of Ray talking about macadamia nuts.

[Are orange blossom, rose water, saffron and hibiscus tea safe/beneficial?]

"I think they are safe; I have enjoyed all of them at different times. Hibiscus tea is recognized as a treatment for high blood pressure, and saffron has been used successfully for treating many problems." -Ray Peat e-mail exchange

I know "Peaty" store products can be hard to find, but I have run across some really tasty stuff with no additives! These are my four favorite hot sauces! The Lingham's, recommended by Yerrag, I use on my boiled and broiled crispy wings. The Tabasco Habanero is good on creamy seafood chowders like, clam chowder or oyster stew. The Arizona Peppers habanero chipotle pepper sauce I use on my liver tostado. It is spicy, like a more fruity Tabasco Habanero sauce. The Chipotle Pepper Adobo is smokey, sweet and reminiscent of a good enchilada sauce, but spicy! This is a good product to use making a quicker mole sauce, enchilada sauce or a Chile Colorado dish. I rely on sauces like these as shortcuts to making my own in a variety of dishes.

I don't. I'm just trying to be helpful to my fellow "Peaters".

Here is my weekend breakfast splurge, sprouted oats cooked with orange peel and topped with fresh blueberries! To make it, I cook the zest of an orange, or two or three, in the oatmeal. The sprouted oat directions called for one cup of oats cooked with 2 cups of water, but I swapped a half cup of the water for a half cup of whole milk and added in a big pinch of salt. When it was good and thick, I divided it amongst two bowls and topped them with sugar, butter, skimmed raw half & half and perfectly ripe sweet blueberries, it feels good!

“When I get sour oranges I make marmalade from the peels, if they are organic. Shred, soak, cook slowly simmering in water for about an hour before adding sugar, and letting that simmer without boiling until it thickens a little. When it’s cool it thickens more. The peels are rich in antiinflammatory chemicals, more than the juice, and the marmalade is a good way to get sugar with the cottage cheese or parmesan.“ -Ray Peat

Chamomile & Orange Marmalade Tea

Oh yum this is good! Since reading "Peat" say marmalade is like a "super drug", I have been trying to find as many ways as I can to eat marmalade and this did not disappoint! I just put a couple of spoonfuls of marmalade in my hot tea, so amazing!

"However, according to a January 2013 study in the Asian Journal of Scientific Research, orange peel contains substantial amounts of potassium and calcium, as well as small amounts of magnesium and phosphorus. All of these are essential minerals that the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health recommends consuming on a daily basis.

You're unlikely to get substantial amounts of magnesium or phosphorus from eating orange peels. However, you can obtain a fair amount of potassium and calcium.

Potassium is important for cardiovascular health, and both calcium and potassium are also needed for bone health. Calcium also supports the function of your nervous system cells."

Orange peel is safe to eat. Orange peel nutrition contains fiber and vitamin C like the rest of the orange. It also has trace amounts of other nutrients.

Grilled Cheese Sandwich w/Orange Marmalade


I am still in my orange marmalade kick! For those who have access to yeastless sourdough or French bread, like I do, making this grilled cheese sandwich is a treat! I just fry two thin slices of the bread in butter, then put shredded cheese on each one and cook it on a medium heat to let the cheeses melt. When the cheeses start melting I put the two pieces together and continue cooking the sandwich, and flipping to make sure the bread doesn't overcook. I used a sharp cheddar and mozzarella for this sandwich, but i would think a fontina or a havarti could be good too!

"Naturally fermented sourdough is less harmful than standard or unleavened wheat products, but any starch tends to stimulate appetite by activating fat synthesis. The same number of calories in fruit would be less fattening, and would keep your blood sugar steadier, improve your sleep and mental energy." -Ray Peat

BUTTER MARINARA

1. Gather ingredients for the marinara.

2. Pour the crushed, or pureed tomatoes in a non-reactive pot and add half of a large sweet onion, or a whole small onion, cut into fourths, and a stick of unsalted sweet butter. Bring to a boil, turn down and put a lid on it. Simmer for 30 minutes.

3. Fish out all the onions and season with salt and use however you intend to!

This sauce is so easy and flavorful! I put it on corn & soy free chicken cutlets tonight, pounded thin and sauteed in a little olive oil and butter, but it is good the many other different ways I posted!

ROASTED GARLIC CREAM SAUCE

1. Gather ingredients (add some shredded parmesan if desired for quicker thickening. Preheat oven to 375°.

2. Cut the tops off of two head of garlic, leaving the root intact). Be sure to go around the edges and cut each unexposed clove. Put the tops and bottoms of the garlic on a piece of aluminum foil and drizzle the exposed garlic with a little olive oil. I am sure refined conconut oil could work, though I have never thought to try it.

3. Fold the long end together first, and wrap securely.

4. Then fold the ends up securely, leaving a little air around the garlic to work it's magic. Bake on a middle wire rack in the oven for 45 minutes. Remove and cool enough to handle.

5. When garlic has cooled, for 20 minutes or so, squeeze the cloves out from the root end into a small saucepan.

6. Put in a couple of pinches of salt and mash the cloves to a paste with the back of a spoon.

7. Add in a cup and a half of cream. Heavy cream works best if you don't want to use parmesan for thickening. Turn on the heat to medium and cook for about 15 to 20 minutes to reduce and thicken the sauce. If using a thinner cream, add in some shredded parmesan to thicken or flavor it. Use as desired.

I have been making this sauce for 20 years now, and it is an all-time favorite around my house. I serve it on pasta topped with sauteed chicken cutlets, green onion and chopped tomato, but last night I had put it on shrimp.

APPLE PEACH CRISP

1. Gather ingredients. I added frozen peaches to this list, after discovering 2 of my apples were not as lovely as they seemed.

2. Preheat oven to 375 °. Put sprouted oatmeal in a blender.

3 Blend the oats untll it they are broken down and fine, like flour. You will have to blend a cup or two to break it down well, but you will only need a half cup of it. I just store the remainder in the fridge for another time.

4. In a bowl, put one stick of softened butter, add to it a half cup of the oat flour, a half cup Einkorn heirloom flour, a half cup white sugar, a quarter teaspoon of flaky finishing salt or regular salt, if you dont have that, and a half teaspoon ceylon cinnamon (optional).

5. Combine until crumbly and just barely incorporated.

6. Peel apples and slice thin. I like to use the side of a box cheese grater. Two of my apples not ideal so I had to think quick, before my good apples started browning as to what I wanted to sub in instead.

7. I thought I had some frozen blueberries, but I saw that I used them all up, but some frozen peaches looked like a perfect substitution. Because the peaches were frozen I tucked them at the bottom, under the apples, so their watery juices wouldn't soggy up my topping. Cover the fruit lightly with the topping and bake for 37 to 40 minutes. Take out of the oven and let cool for a half hour or longer before serving.

I like this splurge because you can pack in so much fruit and use very little flour. As it turned out the mixed fruit was even better than ever. I can't wait to try the blueberries next. This is SO GOOD!

I made a fresh apple blueberry crisp this morning for breakfast with the recipe above. I used two Fuji apples and a small basket of fresh blueberries. I kept the half sprouted oats and half Einkorn flour combo, but left out the cinnamon. It was the bomb! I think in the next couple of days I am gonna make an apple pie meets cherry pie combo :)
