I am so happy that I was introduced to the Paleo eating lifestyle. Last week I learned about 'GHEE" which is easily put 'clarified butter'. This process should separate the butter into three parts, 1) the golden oily part of the butter, 2) the white fatty part that forms at the top, 3) the brown grainy part that settle at the bottom. "Ghee is the oily portion that is FULL OF FAVOR.
For this veggie plate I used the last of my weekly staple veggies so I didn't have a measured amount, I used:
2 zucchini diagonally sliced in chunks
thin asparagus sliced
sweet mini peppers cut in halves
white onion quartered
fresh snipped green beans
3 garlic cloves
fresh shredded ginger
1 quarter of green & red cabbage shredded ***(I purposely used the cabbage to absorb any remaining oils but the seasoning from the veggies fused in and they tasted good)
peppered EVOO
coconut oil
**Ghee - this can be homemade or store bought
1) brown the onions in EVOO on all sides but allowing them to remain crunchy, set aside
2) brown the asparagus in tsp. of Ghee just until brown,
3) **if after cooking the asparagus leaves brown drippings simply wipe out with a dry napkin.
Use tsp. of coconut oil to brown the green beans then add a little water and grated garlic clove, cover with a lid and steam them until the water evaporate, but still crunchy, set aside
4) Use 1 - 1 1/2 tsp. of Ghee to brown the zucchini on all side sprinkle with sea salt and fresh ground pepper, and set aside.
5) add the pepper skin side down first and brown, then turn and allow to cook 2-3 minutes longer then add fresh grated ginger and sauté.
Return ALL the veggie to the skill and toss sprinkle with additional sea salt to taste.
6) place the shredded cabbage mixed on a serving plate or bowl top it with the cooked veggies.
7) serve and ENJOY!!!
