<p>Fennel... once you like it, there is no turning back. A friend once described this green, anise-tasting vegetable as one of the true pleasures of adulthood. In other words, responsibilities, schedules, and five-year plans urgently need subtle, ever-deepening gratifications such as fennel. Above all, summer or winter, it adds a fresh, alive flavour. So cook it, don't cook it. Certainly the texture sharpens the palate either way. Moreover, fennel stands on its own just fine. In other words, slice delicately. </p><p>Dress minimally with high-quality extra virgin olive oil, a squeeze of lemon, some sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. Then add a handful of finely chopped parsley if you wish. And you have a winner right there. </p><p>Take on picnics; serve up alongside other small salads; plate up with the protein of your choice. Make more than you need and leave in the refrigerator. Certainly, it just tastes better the day after. </p><p><a href="https://erbology.co/product-category/personalized/"></a></p><h3>Fennel salad: Take fennel further</h3><p>The only problem with keeping it simple? Fennel works brilliantly with a surprising array of ingredients. In other words, its bright qualities transform foods you thought you knew. It works across cooking traditions too. For instance, accompany fennel with Middle Eastern pickled lemons and harissa. Serve up with Italian burrata and radish on a hot day. Or you could go French and top with hazelnuts. And you haven't really lived til you try fennel with apples and honey. The clean flavour of fennel slices through potentially cloying sweetness. In return, apples and honey lend fennel softness. The texture of dried barberries are a nice contrast with the crunchiness of our star ingredient. And the slight bite of green onions back up fennel in tilting the dish firmly but gently away from sweetness. Finally, apple cider vinegar and extra virgin olive oil dilute honey with richness and clean flavour. </p><p>Accompany with <a href="https://erbology.co/product-category/personalized/">Erbology Crackers</a> for extra fibre and crumbly pleasure attuned to your taste buds. Just be sure not to under-dress the salad. After all, dipping your cracker into your salad dressing is to adults what dipping your cookie into your milk is to children. &nbsp;&nbsp;<a href="https://erbology.co/product-category/personalized/"><img src="https://erbology.health/storage/images/2020/05/Fennel_salad_CRACS_2-1024x682.jpg"></a></p><h3>... and it's really good for you</h3><p>Flavour comes first. Always. But health comes a close second. And fennel is really good for you. For example, it contains a nice amount of vitamin C. Vitamin C is a water-soluble antioxidant which supports the immune system among other things. Further, fennel is a good source of potassium and manganese. </p><p>Additionally, it contains an impressive array of potent flavonoids, brought together in an unusual combination. Flavonoids are plant-based natural chemicals which have antioxidant effects. The main flavonoids in fennel are quite powerful. They include quercetin, apigenin, and rutin. The presence of these substances all help modern science understand the use of fennel in healing since the days of ancient Rome. </p><p>Roman writer and philosopher Pliny the Elder wrote about fennel, "Fennel has a wonderful property to mundify our sight and take away the film that overcasts and dims our eyes.” In conclusion, why not take a moment to ponder this as you clarify your worldview over your fennel, apple, and honey salad.</p>

Apple Fennel Salad: Fennel, Apple and Honey Salad Recipe - Erbology

Apple fennel salad recipe

<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>

Baba ganoush with milk thistle oil recipe

<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>
