Avanti Roasted Garlic Coconut Spread
It's delicious & nutritious, easy to make and a fragrant comfort food that perfumes your kitchen w/ glee. And look at all the ways you can use Avanti Roasted Garlic Coconut Spread. Just as with traditional organic butter, the possibilities are endless. Buon Appetito!
Let's start w/ something easy and amazing. Organic baby power greens from Earthbound Farm sauted w/ Avanti roasted garlic coconut spread, thinly sliced shallot, a splash of dry marsala. Saute the shallot first in the coconut spread, add the greens and the marsala, a wee bit of salt and pepper to taste. Don't over cook the greens. Et Voila!
¡Adios pinche Paleos! Amber waves of grains rule the plates of the states. Heart healthy, full of fiber, protein and B vitamins this mix of quinoa, wild rice and a whole grain brown rice medley is the kind of dish we all love to eat. Well rinsed and soaked for at least a half an hour, then topped w/ fresh water, a dollop of miso, a splash of sherry, a sprinkle of matcha or green tea leaves, some lemon verbena, a couple of spent organic lemon carcasses, a bit of Avanti roasted garlic coconut spread. Look how that fluffs up! Fear not, all those flavoring ideas are optional. Use one, two, three or more as u wish.
Use a peeler to slice some organic colorful carrots, place them on top of the HOT rice and add another whisper of Avanti roasted garlic coconut spread. Put the lid back on and let steam for 15 mins or so.
The roasted garlic coconut spread flavors the dish oh so subtly w/ great mouth feel and unctuous delight.
Next let's move on to one of my favorite preparations using this delectable rich flavor spread. Easy oven night time roasted tofu. You can use any ingredients and fresh herbs you have at the ready. And do it in the evening before bed. It'll be perfectly done by morning in no time flat. See what Dr. Mark Hyman tells us about the controversy and benefits of good quality tofu and soy in our diet
Add diced tofu on a bed of fresh herbs or greens in a baking dish. I used pineapple sage and lemon verbena. And to the roasted garlic coconut spread I added some tomato lime cilantro salsa, but you can use almost any sauce type condiment that you have around.
Top w/ the flavor sauce and a sprinkle of sesame and hemp seeds. I added a little toasted sesame oil too.
Put into a cold oven, set temp to 375 and timer to 40 mins. When it looks like this turn off the oven and let cool until morning. This is what you get. I love rubbery food.
This is great hot or cold, wonderful on salads, great in any stir fry to add protein and substance. Tofu is a staple we all should have more of in our fridge. Always choose organic or GMO free soy products.
Have y'all ever been gifted one of those soup cylinders of dry ingredients from a great charity. Folks are often helped to get back on their feet by making culinary creative products. We love to support them and swapping out the generic oil or butter they use in their suggested recipe for Avanti roasted garlic coconut spread can make you want to go back and support some more.
To this hearty split pea soup from The Tomorrow Project, I used the garlic coconut spread instead of the oil and the flavors complemented the savory spices to create a dish memorable in full nuanced flavor and spirit. Always substitute up in the kitchen. A well stocked pantry can give you a whisper of this and a soupçon of that. Great food, like all real connections, is a succession of pinches. Like Martin Yan's flavors there are often wee bits of a lot of ingredients that come together harmoniously on the tongue.
Always be fearless in the kitchen. Avanti gives y'all permission to roast up the courage to tantalize the taste buds.
