Bon Appétit ! <video> Beef Shank Persian Style | Mahiche with Baghali Polo | Eat with Persian herb Rice Description: Although lamb shanks are quite popular with the herb rice, I prefer the beef version. Feel free to make this recipe with lamb shank if you prefer. If you need the recipe for Baghali Polo (fava Bean Rice), Here it is : https://youtu.be/rEDzuDsXA6g ~ Ingredients ~ 2.5 -3 lbs beef shank (some bone present) 3 tbsp olive oil 1 large red onion 3 cloves garlic 3-5 bay leaves 2 cups water 1 lemon saffron water Spice Mixture ------------------------- 1.5 tsp salt 1 tsp eppper 1 tsp turmeric 1/2 tsp cinnamon 1 tsp coriander 1 tsp cumin - - Bon Appétit - - </video> <video> The Healthiest Hummus Recipe | Home Made | Organic Description: Hummus can be considered health food if it is made the correct way. Most hummus made in stores has some sort of a seed oil which is inflammatory. In addition, stores won't use organic chickpeas either ! Chickpeas can carry the herbicide glyphosate if they are not organic, so you want to make sure you get your chickpeas organic only ! Hope you enjoy the recipe. ps. If you prefer the garlic taste, feel free to also add a clove of garlic in there. Roasted garlic can also make it taste great ! I prefer it plain and simple ! ~ Ingredients ~ - 2 cups dried organic chickpeas - 2 tsp salt - ~ 3-4 tbsp Organic Tahini Sauce - 3-4 organic lemons juiced (1/3 cup) - 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil - 3/4-1 cup of water you cook the chickpeas in - 1 tsp baking soda - Bon Appetit - </video> <video> Khoresh Karafs | Persian Celery Stew Description: Ingredients - Bone Broth - 1 or 2 pieces of bone 2 bay leaves 12 cups water - Stew - ¼ cup olive oil for onions 3 tbsp olive oil for the celery 1 bunch parsley 1 bunch mint Celery leaves 2 bunch celery 1.5 lb stew meat 1 onion 1 tsp turmeric 1.5 tsp salt ½ tsp pepper ½ tsp chili flakes - - bon appétit - - </video> <video> Tomato Rice | Armenian Rice | կարմիր փլաֆ Description: The key to getting as much flavor out of this rice recipe is using organic and good quality tomatoes to begin with.

You can also add 2 -4 tbsp of tomato paste to get a richer red color. ~ Ingredients ~ 2 cups of basmati rice 2 tbsp tomato paste 2 tbsp olive oil 1.5 tsp salt 1/2 tsp black pepper 4 large organic tomatoes 1 cup chicken broth Bon Appétit </video> <video> Adjaruli Khachapuri | Georgian Stuffed Cheese Bread | Xachapuri Description: ~ Ingredients ~ 150 g all purpose flour 40 g warm milk 75 g warm water 1/2 tsp yeast 1 tsp sugar 1/2 tsp salt 1 tsp olive oil Cheese Mixture ----------------------------- 125 g mozzarella Cheese 50 g Feta Cheese 75 g Ricotta Cheese - - Bon Appétit - - </video> <video> Chicken Coconut Curry | Healthy Recipe Description: ~ Ingredients ~ 10 cloves garlic 1/2 hand of ginger 1/4 cup water 8 large tomatoes 1 whole chicken cut into pieces 2 tbsp ghee 1 red onion tbsp tomato paste (1/2 can of tomato paste) 1 tsp chili powder 2 tsp garam masala 1.5 tsp salt 1 tsp coriander 1 tsp turmeric 1 tsp cumin 1 can of coconut milk 2 tbsp honey 1-2 carrots 1/2-1 cup broccoli 1/2 tsp chili flakes - - Bon Appétit - - </video> <video> Baked Sweet Potatoes for Weight Loss | Resistant Starch Recipe Description: ~Ingredients~ 3-4 large sweet potatoes 2 tsp salt 1 tsp garlic powder 2 tsp smoked paprika 1 tsp black pepper 1/4 cup olive oil Roast the potatoes for 25 minutes.
