<h3>The heart of a thistle...</h3><p>The artichoke is actually a type of thistle that has been cultivated for its subtle, absolutely lovely flavour. The commonly eaten parts of the artichoke comprise the flower buds before the flower actually comes into bloom. Doesn't that make you see the tightly clenched artichoke leaves just a bit differently? &nbsp;&nbsp;</p><p><a href="https://erbology.co/product-category/personalized/"><img src="https://erbology.health/storage/images/2020/02/Personalised-Crackers_Plums-Herbs-Muscat-Wine_CRAPH_3-1024x683.jpg"></a></p><h3>... dreamy for flavour and for health...</h3><p>Artichoke hearts are so sensually delicious that it's easy to forget that they are actually highly nutritious. They are among the foods to include in your cooking if you are changing your diet to include more plant-based foods but are keen to retain a sense of luxurious richness. If you look at the antioxidant content of vegetables, artichokes rank very highly.(1)(2) </p><p>However, what exactly are antioxidants? To clarify, oxidation within the body can release free radicals, which are harmful cells that can go on the rampage. Although some free radicals are necessary and healthy, too many free radicals in our body can set off all types of negative side effects within us.(3) For instance, damage due to an imbalance of free radicals has been linked to diseases from diabetes to cancer.</p><p>Further, this imbalance is called oxidative stress. Scientists have looked at how factors from sugar, alcohol, pollution, and toxins can accentuate it.(4) That is to say, antioxidants are foods that fight free radicals and help to right the balance in our body. Moreover, in our world, more and more elements are unknown, from what is in our food to what is in what we wear to what is in our atmosphere. As a result, many people feel that shoring up with antioxidants is especially wise.</p><h3>... so scoop up, scoop up!</h3><p>We aren't telling you about the antioxidant content of artichoke hearts so you will make this dish. But as you savour this pleasure in a bowl, going back for one more repeatedly as you certainly will, the knowledge that what you're eating is going into battle within you on the side of good forces certainly won't hurt. Will it, now?</p>

Easy Artichoke Hummus Recipe - Erbology

It's not completely accurate to call this a hummus recipe. This dish is actually somewhere wonderfully in between hummus and a creamy, indulgent artichoke dip. That makes it a perfect hybrid creature in our book, as the addition of chickpeas brings protein and ballast. This spread could now carry a sandwich all on its own, with the addition of a few fresh vegetables. Or, as seen here, it's a nice variation on a party dip. Glowing magenta pomegranate seeds add colour and tartness. You could also add fresh chopped herbs on top for colour and flavour. Parsley, mint, or both would work beautifully.

<h3>Cheese, cheese...</h3><p>That was before we tried this recipe for homemade vegan cream cheese dip. It satisfied all cravings, and we also loved the backstory. The recipe was inspired by a dip that the mother of the person who put together the recipe (which I sadly did not!) made on special occasions. It is these deep, entwined emotions that one can only unlock through specific sensations that we find so challenging about going completely vegan - or about making any permanent lifestyle changes.</p><p><img src="https://erbology.health/storage/images/2018/03/Tkemali-cheese-dip-1-1024x676.jpg"></p><p>Granted, we never tried the original, dairy-based dip. But tasting this one, we find it hard to believe that there is any longing that it would leave unsatisfied. Make extra, so that you have some in your refrigerator to include in sandwiches throughout the week. This cashew cheese is also a wonderful addition to breakfast smorgasbords and salad platters.</p><h3>Bathe your cashews, darling.</h3><p>Cashews have a mellow flavour that we have always been fans of. But when soaked, they attain a remarkably smooth consistency that comes in very handy for all matter of vegan recipes. However, you need to be careful not to leave them in water for too long, or they will become mushy. Think of it as the cashew version of wrinkly raisin fingers. Overnight is fine, two or three hours will do at the very least. Soak your cashews in filtered water to activate the enzymes. You will digest the nuts much more easily. Once blended, soaked cashews go easily with all sorts of flavourings.</p><h3>Back to essentials</h3><p>Linoleic acid (omega-6) and alpha-linolenic acid (omega-3) are essential fatty acids. You need to get these acids through your diet because your body cannot make them. An optimal balance of these two acids is very important to keep your body functioning as it should. These acids are important for all types of biological processes, like blood clotting. However, this doesn't mean that you should consume as much of these acids as you can. </p><p>The typical Western diet is far too high in omega-6s.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0753332206002435">Scientists now theorise that this imbalance may lie behind many health problems experienced far more by people today than by our predecessors</a>.(1) Processed seed oils are a huge contributor to this issue.&nbsp;<a href="https://erbology.co/shop/organic-chia-seed-oil/">Chia seed oil</a>, as contained in this recipe, has a good ratio of omega-3 acids. If you also make&nbsp;<a href="https://erbology.co/shop/organic-milk-thistle-oil/">milk thistle oil</a>&nbsp;a regular part of your diet, you will have attained a good proportion of omega-6 to omega-3 fatty acids.

<p>Baba up your baba ganoush! We've taken the liberty of slipping in some non-traditional ingredients, and it tastes amazing! Baba ganoush is a simple dish that inspires great passion. There are as many ways to make it as there are chefs, and each way comes with its dilemmas. First up would be - should you grill the aubergine or char over a gas flame? </p><p>Next up - probably the decision of whether mashing the aubergine or cutting it into thin strips would be tastier. Still going? You should think about if garlicking up or garlicking down is your way. How about which herbs you are going to use? But, most importantly - should you use tahini in the recipe? &nbsp;&nbsp;</p><p><img src="https://erbology.health/storage/2024/Dec/b1Hew7Jwi5.jpg"></p><p>After all that, we dare to offer this recipe for your kind consideration. Note that the characterising combination of smoky aubergine and garlic is unchanged. However, we've taken the liberty of slipping in some non-traditional elements. Certainly they will go a long way towards supporting your poor body. After all, you probably bombard it daily with toxins and stresses.</p><h3>An apple cider vinegar a day keeps the doctor away.</h3><p>Apple cider vinegar is an ancient folk remedy and its benefits are currently being backed up with scientific research. For instance, studies have supported its ability to lower blood sugar and help with weight control.(1)(2)</p><h3>The holy thistle</h3><p><a href="https://erbology.co/shop/organic-milk-thistle-oil/">Milk thistle oil</a>&nbsp;is&nbsp;rich in omega-6 fatty acids, vitamin E and other valuable phytonutrients. As a result, milk thistle oil can gently cleanse your body, boost your heart activity, and renew your skin. The lightly earthy flavour complements the mildness of aubergines. </p><p>Moreover, both milk thistle and aubergines come from the Mediterranean, another reason that they make for natural companions. If you're wondering about the <a href="https://erbology.co/when-how-long-to-take-milk-thistle/">best time to take milk thistle</a>, you can be flexible and enjoy it at any time of the day that suits you.&nbsp;<a href="https://erbology.co/milk-thistle-benefits/">Learn more about milk thistle benefits</a></p><h3>Dip into sprouted buckwheat</h3><p>We recommend Erbology Greek Olive raw crackers to go with your baba ganoush. Unlike the traditional pitta bread, these crackers contain sprouted&nbsp;<a href="https://erbology.co/product-ingredients/buckwheat/">buckwheat</a>. This ingredient helps your body take in valuable minerals and digest them with greater ease.(3) </p><p>Likewise, the tangy olive, sensual tomato, and peppery coriander notes in these crackers are a very contemporary finishing touch to the spread.&nbsp;<a href="https://erbology.co/buckwheat-health-benefits-pseudo-cereal/">Learn more about buckwheat benefits</a></p><h3>Back to basics</h3><p>Abundant natural goodness is contained in aubergines and tahini. Rich in fibre, aubergines also possess extremely powerful anti-inflammatory nutrients.(4) In turn, tahini offers healthy fats and amino acids, which are the building blocks of energy.(5) &nbsp;&nbsp;</p><p><img src="https://erbology.health/storage/images/2021/09/R5D31319-1024x683.jpg"></p><h3>Baba up your baba.</h3><p>A lot of the fun of dips lies in how you garnish them. Might we suggest topping your baba ganoush with amaranth pops? They would lend a light, nutty crunch, not to mention all nine essential amino acids. </p><p>Similarly, drizzling any of Erbology's delectable oils on top of your baba ganoush instead of the traditional olive oil would top up the nourishment of this recipe very nicely. After that, how about trying delicate twists of lemon peel on top? They might be a lovely detail. After all, lemon is often found in varieties of baba ganoush. Just because we have apple cider vinegar in ours does not mean we have to completely sacrifice the addictive tang of citrus fruits. </p><p>In the same vein, you could also go further down the fruit road and accompany your baba ganoush with some pomegranate seeds. We don't know about you, but we find the act of removing the seeds from a pomegranate quite meditative, and the seeds themselves are just exquisite beings. Hey, you can't say we didn't warn you. We are fully devoted to the joys of baba ganoush!&nbsp;</p>

<p>Celeriac has been keeping us snug as a bug in a rug this winter. Root vegetables are always warming inside when it's cold outside. However, the delicate flavour of celeriac offers an intriguing piquancy. This vegetable, which is technically a stem rather than a root, is a member of the carrot family. </p><p>It is a wonderful source of vitamin K, B-complex vitamins, and various minerals. Like its close relative the celery, celeriac has an incredible ability to help other flavours shine. The classic ways of preparing celeriac - in soups, as a mash, and in gratins or a remoulade - are all appealingly indulgent. Sometimes, though, you long for something fresh and clean. </p><p>Blending celeriac with green peas re-birthed both vegetables for us. Celeriac has a light, precise taste which is allowed to stand out as it sometimes cannot when clouded by heavier foods. Peas attain complexity in return. </p><p>Erbology Crackers&nbsp;bring body to the dish as a whole, not to mention all the benefits of sprouted<a href="https://erbology.co/product-ingredients/buckwheat/">&nbsp;buckwheat</a>. When you prepare your celeriac, don't toss out the peel! Once cleaned, it will bring richness to homemade vegetable stock. Freeze stock in ice cube trays and toss into your cooking as needed.</p><h3>A pea in the pod</h3><p>A root that is actually a stem.... and now we have peas, which are actually fruits! They are so commonplace that it is easy to forget what a star the humble green pea is. Peas are able to offer almost every mineral and vitamin that one might need, as well as a great deal of fibre. </p><p>The variety of world cuisines that green peas make regular appearances in are testimonies to how versatile they are. From classic Continental European dishes to Indian curries with an intricate elaboration of spices, peas undeniably earn their places. If you, like us, get a kick out of spotting references to food in literature, don't forget the tale of the princess and the pea.</p><h3>Herb it up.</h3><p>We happened to have dill and tarragon in the fridge. However, the pliability of both peas and celeriac lend themselves well to a wide range of herbs. Parsley is a longtime friend to both, as is thyme. For something stronger, how about basil, rosemary, or sage? </p><p>Depending on which you end up with, you could also experiment with other varieties of Erbology crackers - Tkemali or Greek Olive. We love our citruses, so we would be tempted to add a squeeze of lemon or orange.</p><h3>.....And adorn</h3><p>Part of the reason we are looking forward to making this dish again and again is to decorate with different toppings every time. The bright green of the dip is intensely energising to the eye, and that is almost as important as how it tastes. The pearly white of sliced radishes, circled with a pink that Schiaparelli would delight in, is a wonderfully flamboyant accessory. </p><p>For more restrained days, black Greek olives and pumpkin seeds would add texture and interest. Or you could reunite celeriac with its cousin, the carrot, and grate some orange ribbons to present alongside.</p><ul></ul>
