Tuesday MAY 8, 2018  and Certified Ayurvedic Health Counselor Andrea Catherine is here to share with us her recipe for cooking Bok Choy.       What’s cooking? https://www.groundedhere.com/tea ()   https://www.groundedhere.com/fearless-self-love-retreats ()   Farmer’s Market is live I taught yoga in the morning, needed food, as I walked out and thought ah!  I told some farmers I’m gonna buy them out! So excited! I had so much food that I bought at the grocery store it didn’t make sense to drive there.  I know that http://www.growravenridge.com (Raven Ridge Farms) had some Baby Bok Choy! Bok Choy! One of my favorite things I describe it as a mixture between butter and celery butter on your celery not what I mean I love bok choy because it has this rich consitency It’s good raw I like it grilled or in the oven My favorite way is to cook it braised and curried bok choy adding curry spices tumeric black pepper himalyaned pink salt til they’re aromatic toss those spices one or two bunches of bok choy Take those leaves and leave them whole place the spiced choy in a warm skillet or do it on the grill 1-3 minutes on each side till their tender, grill is nice! another way to enjoy spices so simple another way to enjoy those spices i mentioned before you can use just salt and pepper bok choy pick it up and eat the whole leaf eating with your hands can’t get in the garden to grow food it’s an excuse to eat with our hands get that tactile sense eat it alone layer it in your eggs Benedict put it on your hamburger might bite down I prefer to eat it alone definitely one of my favorite vegetables has some cool nutritional benefits bone growth Vitamin A beat off bacteria healthy vision love this vegetable! excited that it’s already here! I think my mom always put bok choy on stir fry or Chinese food. Does it taste like cabbage? Kind of tastes like cabbage but richer, has that buttery taste! buttery on it’s own at the base at the bottom it’s thicker juicy cook it you get that quality you don’t get with kale or cabbage maybe with a Napa cabbage Chinese cabbage baby bok choy smaller easier to work with I wonder what it’s like to grow that? You just get one head per seed that your growing more like a cabbage in that way It is so good! Especially right now while people are fighting allergies fighting off some of that bacteria right now Great time of year to visit the farmer’s market and see how you can nourish yourself could use it to make Chinese food meal chop it and put it in a salad I was gonna ask can you eat it raw? Absolutely Yeah! slice it real thin put it in your salad kind of like a cucumber texture! I hope people will see it at the farmer’s market and support their Local famers. I think as we go through pull up some recipes http://thewickedgoodfarm.com (Wicked Good Farm) Brooke suggested I contact you originally recipes keep up with I’d be curious to hear how other people prepare Bok Choy or what they got at the farmer’s market! If you’ve been enjoying hearing about food? I’ve been eating so much healthier. I hope if listeners are a market farmer they’ll share these tips with their customers! https://www.groundedhere.com/tea () https://www.groundedhere.com/ (Fearless Self Love Podcast with Andrea Catherine) https://www.groundedhere.com/fearless-self-love-retreats () https://www.groundedhere.com/fearless-self-love-retreats (Retreat at Spirit Ranch at Home in Your Heart) That is an awesome time to come to Montana.
