Apple Almond MILA Granola Cookies (RAW)

December 5, 2011 by  
Filed under Food & Recipes, MILA

Alive with enzymes, Omega-3′s, great nutrition and outstanding flavor, these raw cookies will quickly become a favorite staple for a quick snack when on the run or a morning get-me-going breakfast served with Goji Nut Mylk.  Apple Almond MILA granola cookies are sweetened with apple, pear and a little coconut palm sugar. Cinnamon is added to bring out the sweet nature of the other ingredients and balance blood sugar levels. Ginger powder, which has no resemblance to fresh ginger in taste, adds a little spark.

Orange Cranberry Relish
by Mikaële Holzer
Inspired by the one and only… Jia Patton
Serves 6 (about 1/4 cup per serving) 

A holiday meal is not complete without the zesty sweet sparkle of a cranberry relish.  This one is quick to make, and served in an attractive crystal bowl it will add an elegant touch to your holiday or feast day table as well as a spark of color and a sweet tart taste.  And . . . don’t forget that cranberries are rich source of antioxidants and vitamins and the “Mila” bumps-up the nutritional profile with lots of Omega-3′s, fiber and more.  Our foods are our true medicine and cranberries are a good one to include in your diet when they are in season.
.
Tips to the Chef: Orange Cranberry Sauce can be made several days ahead of your dinner and kept in a covered glass container in the refrigerator. If your dates are dry and hard, soak them until they are soft, 3 hours to overnight.
.
1/3 cup dates, pits removed & soaked if hard
2 strips orange rind
1 orange, peeled and seeded, cut in large chunks
2 cups fresh or frozen cranberries
1 fuji apple, cut in chunks
2 tablespoons Mila, by LifeMax (The most nutrient dense blend of chia seeds available)
To order Mila:  www.lifemax.net/mik
..
In a food processor, with the S-shape blade, put the dates, orange rind and orange.  Process until smooth.  Stop the food processor, add the cranberries, apple and “Mila” and pulse about 15 times to coarsely chop the ingredients.  Do not over process as this relish is best when it is chopped coarsely. Remember, texture is important to consider when preparing food.
.
Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.

How to Store: Store in a covered glass container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

Mik’s Curry Miso Green Soup

November 30, 2011 by  
Filed under Food & Recipes

Thanks to my dear friend Jia Patton (cookingwithjia.com) for finally getting my curry miso green soup creation in recipe form for others to enjoy!
.
This quick and easy raw blender soup can be made in minutes and is a good way to come off a green juice fast or enjoy anytime. It is so nourishing and delicious you may want to make it often. *When washing and preparing the ingredients for this soup sing a song or chant out-loud. In this way you will be adding your divine joyful energy into every bite of this nourishing soup!
.
To the Chef: South River Garbanzo Miso is my personal favorite but any light colored miso will do. Be sure to purchase miso from the refrigerator section as this miso will be alive with enzymes and friendly bacteria.
.
Equipment Needed: High speed blender or if using a kitchen blender blend in 2 batches.
Soup
.
2 ½ cups purified water or coconut water
1 lemon, peeled, seeded and cut in large chunks
1 medium avocado, cut in chunks
1 stalk celery, cut in large pieces
1 handful sunflower spouts or other sprouts
1 handful buckwheat sprouts or pea sprouts
1 handful fresh dill weed
3-5 leaves of kale or chard
3 cloves garlic, peeled
2 tablespoons South River Garbanzo Miso or other unpasterized light colored miso
2 tablespoons Nama Shuyo or tamari
2 tablespoons dulse flakes or ¼ cup dulse
2 teaspoons curry powder
1 pinch cayenne pepper
.
For An Artful Presentation
2 tablespoons raw tahini (sesame butter)
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon Nama Shuyo or tamari
.
Blend: In a high speed blender, put all the ingredients and blend until smooth.
.
For An Artful Presentation: In a small bowl, put the tahini, lemon juice and Nama Shuyo and whisk until smooth. The mixture needs to be the consistency of a thick oil. If too thin add more tahini or too thick add more lemon juice or water. To Create a Feather Pattern: Drizzle the tahini mixture in 3 lines or 3 consecutive circles across the top(s) of the soup that has been placed in a serving bowl or individual bowls. Using a thin knife, draw a line across the lines  or circles of tahini in 4 or 5 places. This will make a beautiful feather design on top of your soup. Now your soup has a beautiful and professional look.
.
Serving Ideas: Best served immediately. To make this soup a complete meal add a Kale Salad and flax crackers.
.
How to Store: If you can not finish this soup in 1 setting, put the remainder in a glass jar and secure with the lid. Refrigerate for up to 12 hours.
