I need recipes for taking coconut oil making it taste good

[Guest guest]

Greetings All ~

I am increasing my consumption of coconut oil by using it daily. It is easier

for me if I celebrate the flavor by adding a coconut ingrediant and the flavor

seems more normal. My best success has been a dish my husband dubbed " Island

Potatoes " .

I like to use a large straight sided pot with a lid. Low heat, two tablespoons

of oil - can use more, medium to low heat.

Chop one large or two medium onions, toss in

Scrub and chop a double handful of potatos, toss in

Chop a large yam or two small ones, toss in.

Fold and turn with a spatula.

Put the lid on to encourage sweating togather.

Add a chopped clove of garlic.

Sprinkle chicken boullion on.

Throw in a handful of grated coconut - 1/2 cup

Fold and turn as needed, remember to relid each time.

Yummy. What we don't eat that night, we have the next day.

I particularly like to heat a small portion and gently lay

my overeasy eggs (also cooked with coconut oil) on top.

Wow!

I also have made a coconut chicken using a coconut shrimp

recipe. My macaroon recipe was a failure, but interesting.

The day I made coconut milk using dehydrated coconut,

hot water and a blender, then squeezing the milk out.

Left me with a cup or so of coconut, so I pulled out

the coleslaw, added the rehydrated coconut and an

equal amount of pineapple. I tossed a spoon of oil in

and the family was pretty happy.

I am using it after my shower, I melt the oil in an old

cold cream jar and rub in everywhere. I am happier with

this than with any other I have used in the past. I don't

know if any sinks in for nutrition, but my skin is glowing.

Cheerio ~

Three ways I like to use it:

One is to put a dollop on top of my meat and broil or panfry it. This tastes

great with pork, chicken, steak, fish, everything. Just season your meat the

way you like it, then top it w/ a dollop of CO, as much as will stay on the meat

w/o wasting it, and broil. Add another dollop when you turn it, if you like.

This also works well with BBQing.

Another way is to make the chocolate candy by gently melting some oil in a sauce

pan, adding good quality coco powder or unsweetened dark chocolate squares, and

stevia or xylitol to taste. I like to add a splash of heavy cream, since I'm

not a huge fan of dark chocolate. Add coconut flakes or chopped nuts, etc, as

you like. Line a plate or dish with wax paper, pour the liquid chocolate in, and

chill or freeze, then break into small pcs to snack on. (Can also spoon it into

lined mini muffin tins.)

I also like to make my own almond butter by blending raw, organic almonds and

coconut oil until it's just the right texture. I add a little sea salt to

taste.

I hope this helps. But there are so many ways to do it once you get a little

creative!

OK, but not too much xylitol, thanks.
