Cedar Grilled Salmon
Soak a cedar plank as directed on label. Prep salmon with salt and pepper to taste and grill on plank over an open flame about 20 minutes depending on size of salmon and heat of fire. Salmon should still be moist on the inside but not raw.
Braised Greens
Chop garlic and simmer in olive oil. Wash and prep your hearty greens by pulling from ribs. Place in the oil not worrying about wa- ter from washing and slowly cook over a medium flame. Toss is some salt and turmeric and turn greens frequently. Take out when bright green and just wilted.
Apple Pecan Date Torte with Pinenut crust
Find a date compote or make your own by covering a pot of dates with sugar and some water and boiling down almost to a jam. Mix in vanilla extract and remove from heat. Slice apples in thin quarter sizes and toss with a teaspoon of sugar, cinnamon and fresh lemon juice. Prep the crust by griding pine nuts to a powder and mix with some chickpea flour. Cut in small chunks of cold butter and some sugar. Use hands to squish and spread on bottom of a pie pan. You can dry bake for a few minutes using the beans in a bag trick or simply mix pecans with the apple slices and date goodness and then arrange the slices overlapping around the entire pie over crust. Bake about 30 minutes at 350. Enjoy!
