Soba Noodles
Follow instructions on package. Once cooked, strain noodles and return to empty pot. Add 1 teaspoon of sesame oil per serving and sea salt to taste. Mix noodles. Serve onto a dinner plate, place trout fillet on top and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
Note: There are many varieties of Soba Noodles – rice and sweet potato, buckwheat, ginger etc. They are all delicious with this fish.
Bok Choy
Thoroughly wash 6 – 8 bok choy’s without removing the leaves. If they are large, they can be quartered. Steam them in a steaming pot until leaves are tender, but not wilted.

Baked Whole Grain Spelt or Brown Rice
Bone Broth
3-4 pounds of meat bones – organic beef, chicken, pork marrow, knuckle or joint bones are best
½ cup raw apple cider vinegar
4 quarts filtered water
3 celery stalks, halved
3 carrots, halved
3 onions, quartered
Handful fresh parsley
Sea salt to taste
Place bones in a pot or crockpot, add vinegar and water, let simmer for 1 hour. Add more water if needed to cover the bones. Add vegetables and bring to a boil. Remove any scum that forms on the top of the pot. Reduce to low heat and let simmer slowly for 8 – 12 hours. Strain broth. Vegetables can be pureed and any meat from the bones can be removed to make a soup. Add parsley and sea salt to the clear broth and cook for 10 more minutes. Broth can be stored in the fridge for up to 1 week or frozen for up to 6 months.
Benefits:
- The gelatin found in the bone broth attracts and holds onto liquids, including digestive juices, which helps to support proper digestion by healing and sealing the intestinal lining of the gut.
- Bone broth reduces joint pain and inflammation because the reduced cartilage contains chondroitin and glucosamine.
- There are several amino acids present in bone broth that have an anti-inflammatory effect.
- Bone broth also contains high amounts of calcium and magnesium which play and important role in bone formation and regeneration.
Breading for Chicken, Veal, Pork or Fish
10 -12 cutlets or strips of meat 2 cups bread crumbs * ½ cup grated Pecorino Romano Cheese 2 eggs 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley 2 cloves crushed garlic sea salt to taste grape seed oil * There are several alternative grain and gluten free bread crumbs available in the organic section of your grocery store. Or, you can make your own by toasting your favourite bread and grinding it in a food processor (once it has cooled). Wash and dry your meat with a paper towel. Place flat on a cutting board and add sea salt to taste. In a bowl whisk eggs, parsley and garlic together. Next add strips of meat to the mixture and allow to marinate in the refrigerator for a minimum of 1 hour. Mix bread crumbs and cheese on a flat dinner plate. One at a time, take a strip of meat and by pressing it into the bread crumbs, ensure it is completely coated. Once all of the meat is breaded choose one of the following cooking methods: 1. Frying – coat the bottom of a shallow frying pan with grape seed oil
– heat the oil on high until hot – place your breaded meat into the pan and cook just until each side is golden – transfer meat to a parchment paper lined baking sheet – bake at 325 degrees for approximately 10 minutes or until meat is completely cooked through to the centre 2. Baking – coat the bottom of a parchment lined baking sheet with 2 tablespoons of grape seed oil
– place breaded meat onto the baking sheet and bake at 325 degrees for approximately 20 minutes, turning once halfway through
Serving Variations: – squeeze lemon juice over cooked meat – coat meat in tomato sauce before putting in the oven (not fish) – sprinkle meat with grated goat mozzarella cheese (not fish) – replace ½ cup bread crumb mixture with corn meal, ground nuts, sesame, chia or flax seeds
Quinoa
Quinoa is a complete protein. This means it contains all 9 of the essential amino acids humans require to maintain good health. It is a good source of dietary fibre, phosphorus and is also high in magnesium and iron. It is gluten free and therefore, very easy to digest.
Not only is it incredibly good for you, it is delicious too! Preparation is very similar to rice, however, you must not skip the soaking step. This grain tends to be bitter if it has not been soaked or at least, rinsed very well.
It is great in soups, stews and on its’ own. You could have it for breakfast by mixing in some maple syrup. Leftovers can be turned into a salad by adding diced vegetables and fresh herbs. You’ll love this super-food!
