My favorite things to add to a salad are roasted beets and toasted walnuts. To roast the beets, clean and chop them into cubes, toss with olive oil and kosher salt (or sea salt) and bake them at 375- 400 degrees until tender. Serve with a vinaigrette dressing over greens
Newark Natural Foods along with good produce, organic finds, health items should try very hard to market items, household products and gifts that are made in america and free trade countries with good human rights. For the 14 or so years I’ve been a member and shopping with the co-op there has been an abondance of products made in China. China is not a free country, does not have a good human rights record and is putting many other manufacturers in other countries out of business because they can not compete with the manufacturing costs. Also many yrs ago you had lovey, unique holiday gifts, angels and animals made of natural wool, made in america along with pottery, it would be great to see unique gifts from the US, Europe or come cottage industry.
Clarified butter (GHEE) is made by heating butter long enough to allow moisture present in the milk solids, which cause spoilage, to evaporate. The slow heating and cooking process gves the GHEE a gentle nutty aroma, a pale yellow color when cool, and distinctly grainy texture. (From Indian Vegetarian Cooking by Julie Sahni)
To make 3/4 cup GHEE, place 1/2 pound (2 sticks) sweet unsalted butter in a heavy bottomed saucepan and put on a burner. Keep the heat low until the butter melts completely, stirring often during the process. Increase the heat to medium-low and let the butter simmer until it stops crackling, thus indicating that all the moisture has evaporated and the milk residue is beginning to fry. As soon as the solids turn brown (10 to 15 minutes), turn off the heat and take the pan off the stove. Let the residue settle to the bottom of the pan, then strain the clear butterfat (GHEE) into another container for storage. When completely cool, it will turn a cream color.
For an additional treat, take the seperated brown residue and mix with a little sugar, chill, and enjoy! Kids love it!
