When you think of coconut oil, if you’re anything like me, then lazy days on the beach as a teenager come to mind. Slathering yourself with SPF4 and rotating slowly might have hurt those shoulders afterwards, but the scent was heavenly! Little did I know it might have done more for my physique (in a healthier way!) if I'd used an edible form rather than a tanning formulation. Garden of Life Extra Virgin Coconut Oil is a versatile whole food supplement that can be used in a huge range of dishes -- today we look at four of our favorites 'a la carte' that can utilize it.
Nothing can put your imagination on a tropical Asian beach faster than the combination of seafood and coconut flavors. This recipe calls for both coconut milk and butter -- you'll use your Garden of Life Coconut Oil in place of the butter rather than the milk. As a bonus, this one is really fast -- it is designed as a first course, and you could throw it together while your guests or family are waiting at the table.
Sounds odd, tastes delicious is the general verdict on this recipe! You can sauté your scallions and onion as well as the gingerroot in the coconut oil, rather than in ordinary butter if you like. It helps create a more comprehensive flavor.
You can use the coconut oil in cooking the rice in this recipe -- there are no heavy sauces to weigh you down, so the Garden of Life whole food supplement is as healthy as its context, in this recipe! There's a bit of prep to do and a few seasonings to buy, but it should become a weekend favorite.
Dhal is a South Indian staple, and this version of the recipe uses coconut milk to create a filling meal with a silky texture. You can simply add a little Garden of Life coconut oil to the recipe, or use it to sauté the onions, garlic, ginger and spices to bring out their flavors.
