I've made Thai-style coconut ice cream. Dairy-free and no sweetener! Here is the first recipe that came up on google, and it looks pretty similar to the one I made:

Thai Inspired BBQ Chicken

Take a few TBL of chopped cilantro (stems, leaves, whatever you've got), about 1/3 of that quantity of mint, onion (I used powdered or minced because I HATE CHOPPING ONIONS!), and lime or lemon juice (enough to make it all kind of watery). Put it into a blender or processor and whir it until it is well mixed.

Soak the chicken in that mixture until your BBQ is ready. Slap the chicken on the BBQ and grill until done. Be sure to pour the marinade over the chicken breasts and that the herbs stick to the chicken, I scraped them out of the bowl it was marinating in.

It is very refreshing and light. I served it with Sweet and Sour Veggie salad and Thai peanut sauce. It was GREAT!

Default Lemon Treats

Copied from the Whole Foods site. I'm trying this the next time I'm treating myself, without the dried coconut (YUCK). Maybe this weekend. (See, we have something in common with the vegans after all!)

Lemon Treats

Low-Sodium, Dairy-Free, Gluten-Free, Vegan

Tart lemon, nutty walnuts and sesame seeds, rich coconut and smooth, sweet dates come together to make these delightfully refreshing treats.
Makes about 18

* 1 cup chopped pitted dates
* 1/4 cup lemon juice
* 2 teaspoons freshly grated lemon zest
* 1 cup raw walnuts
* 1 cup sesame seeds
* 1/2 cup unsweetened dried coconut flakes

Place dates, lemon juice and zest, walnuts and sesame seeds in a food processor. Pulse and blend until completely mixed. The mixture will be slightly sticky. With dampened hands, roll tablespoons of the mixture into balls. Roll in coconut and chill until ready to serve.

I just invented this practically* paleo salad and I've made 3 batches in the last week. I'm craving it so much I had it for breakfast, so I must share.

1 16? oz can quartered artichokes
1 same size can artichoke bottoms cut into bite sized chunks
1 jar of palm hearts. (My jar has 7 hearts, about 4 in long) Cut into disks.

1 palm full (1T maybe?) each dried tarragon, basil, and chervil. Mix with some (1/2c maybe) vinegar, I like to mix apple cider and red wine and let soak a few minutes.

Dump everything in a bowl and add olive oil until you like the coating. Best if chilled before serving.

Seriously, my new favorite food and absolutely perfect for the unrelenting heat we're having out here.

*Practically because it required canned food, which I don't usually use, but starting with fresh artichokes wouldn't really do it in this case.

Default Beef cheeks

Beef cheeks are very flavoursome and if cooked for a long time, are extremely tender.
This recipe from our local ABC broadcaster: ground almonds can substitute for the flour.

You need:

4 large beef cheeks
4 rashers bacon
4 medium brown onions
12 cloves garlic, peeled and left whole
4 sticks celery
1 medium leek
2 large carrots
2 red capsicum
4 egg tomatoes
2 tablespoons oil
seasoned flour
1 1/2 cups red wine
fresh thyme
salt
pepper
1 dessertspoon sugar
flour
2 litres beef stock

Method:

1.Remove fat and sinew and cut cheeks in half. Cut bacon in lardons, peel and dice vegetables.

2.Using a stainless steel pot, heat oil. Toss cheeks in seasoned flour and shake off excess. Brown in oil on both sides, then set aside.

3.Saute vegetables until golden brown, sprinkle with a little flour, add wine and reduce a little. Add cheeks, thyme, seasoning and stock and bring to a simmer. Cover and cook in 150deg.C. oven for approximately 1 1/2 hours.

4.When meat is cooked, remove cheeks and reduce sauce to a good consistency. Return cheeks to sauce and keep warm until ready to serve. Serve with garlic mashed potatoes topped with gremolata.

The original recipe had 2 Tbl of Soy and 3 Tbl of Fish sauce but it was WAY too salty. I love this Thai cookbook but she uses too much fish sauce.

Default Mango Pudding

I was horribly jonesing for something sweet last night and found Frozen mango slices in my freezer (probably been in there 2 years... but I was desparate!). So I heated the mango in the microwave, poured coconut milk on top and heated that. It was really nice!

Last night for the first time I tried thickening a sauce with and egg yolk. It worked BEAUTIFULLY. I can't believe it took me so long to try.

It does work well! Bernaise, Hollandaise... all use egg yolk. Only problem is reheating it doesn't work so well.

APPLE ROASTED CHICKEN:
-------------------------
this recipe is adapted from The Silver Spoon italian cookbook

1 whole chicken
2 apples, grated
4-6 strips of bacon
black pepper and salt to taste

preheat the oven to 475
wash the chicken and pat it dry, then arrange in a roasting pan breast side up
rub salt into the skin
stuff the grated apples into the body cavity and then seal it shut with either string or a toothpick
wrap one piece of bacon around each drumstick/leg, then arrange remaining bacon across the top of the bird (or just wrap your birdy in bacon any which way you want, this is just how I did it)
season with black pepper
roast at 475 for 20-30 min, then lower the oven temperature to 350 and cook until your bird is done (cooking times will vary depending on how big it is)

I made this for family over the weekend and they loved it!
