Herbed Alkalarian Butter | Alkaline Recipes | Alkaline Foods
1 cup of Wilderness Family Naturals Coconut Oil
(I use Organic Extra Virgin cold pressed)
1/2 cup Barlean's Flax Oil
(you will find this in the refrigerated section of your health food store)
8 large garlic cloves
1 yellow onion
1/2 - 1 tsp. Real Salt
2 tsp. Italian Seasonings Spice Hunter (or your choice)
1 tsp. fresh Rosemary minced optional
2 tsp. minced sundried tomatoes
Directions:
Introduction: With Dr. Young's science based more and more around healthy fats, I have attempted to find another butter replacement. Many of you Alkavorians have been putting different oils (Udo's, Flax, Olive, and Essential Balance) on your steamed veggies and grains (Quinoa, Buckwheat etc), but now through the inspiration of Dr. Johanna Budwig who was a great advocate of the healing properties of Flax seed oil, I been able to come up with a combination of healthy oils and herbed seasonings that make a solid butter type spread. It melts beautifully once it hits something warm.. I call it Herbed Alkalarian Butter.
This is the Alkalarian's answer to butter. The coconut oil keeps the butter in a solid state (in the fridge) and the Flax oil gives it the rich golden appearance. Experiment with different herbs, spices and flavorings. Just put a paddy or two (a tsp. or two) over your steamed veggies or warmed grains such as Quinoa, Buckwheat, or millet or use it as a spread in your Tortilla wraps. It will melt on contact and spread a beautiful mix of herbs, seasonings, and healthy Omega and Lauric oils over your dish. Shiny and beautiful, and so good for you. Enjoy!
Dice the onion and garlic and put in a non stick pan with 3 TBS. of the coconut oil. Heat and cook until onion is clear, stirring as you go.
If desired, you may slightly brown the onions and garlic for a more roasted flavor. Then add the rest of the coconut oil and let it melt until clear. Stir to mix together. Do not cook. Take off burner.
At this point you may strain the mixture thru a strainer to take out the pieces of onion and garlic or you may leave them in.
Add salt, spices and seasonings of choice and the Barlean's Flax Oil. Stir mix well, and pour into small tubs and place into the refrigerator to set up.
Use on all your veggie dishes as a butter garnish or spread. Do not cook or fry with this Herbed Alkalarian butter as the heat will cause trans fatty acids to form. Keep the mixture raw and use only after you have cooked or warmed your food.
Great on the Zippy Breakfast!
Other suggestions: Add lemon juice to tang it up Use Frontier seasonings bottled without alcohol to enhance the taste..example Mint or put fresh mint minced in the butter. Add diced pecans or almonds to make a more nutty butter.

This is because we are all living in a fast pace lifestyle, we are all busy with our daily schedule and forgets to be health conscious, and we only become a health watcher once we feel some pain that we cannot tolerate anymore.
