MOUTABEL Baba Ghannouj(keywords: MOUTABEL Baba Ghannouj, Baba Ghanoush, eggplant, chiropractic, what are phytosterols, )MOUTABEL, spicy Eggplant, aka Aubergine, aka Brinjal, has proven cholesterol-lowering properties. But it's so delish I'd eat it any way! I refuse to eat margarine, it tastes terrible and it's full of those hydrogenated oils that are so dangerous for your nerves. So there's that big toss up! Butter which is bad for your heart, but good for your nerves, or Margarine that's bad for your nerves, and maybe, maybe is less bad for your heart. Remember that heart disease didn't arrive until the last century, just about the time when the food companies in their wisdom started removing the wheat germ (with anti-coagulant vitamin E) from our bread and persuaded us to change from butter to margarine. True, stess arrived too in a big way. Compromise! Eat Moutabel Baba Ghannouj! ... also spelt Baba Ghanoush! Then you can enjoy some animal fats. (To be honest my blood cholesterol is dangerously low not just because "she-who-must-be-obeyed" and I eat Moutabel every week. It's also because we love those yummmy, healthy foods you'll find at Healthy Living Tips every single day.
 Custom Search PREPARATION TIMEI timed it. Eight minutes. 8. Well, that's not quite true, I forgot the chilli, so the whole lot had to be blended again. Plus one minute, but you wouldn't make that dumb mistake would you!Eight minutes, that's all it takes, start to finish to make MOUTABEL Baba Ghannouj.
INGREDIENTS @ MOUTABEL Baba GhannoujPure healthy delicious goodness!
How to Make TAHINI in your own kitchen in two minutes.
Oops, forgot the chilli! Roughly chop your aubergine in two halves. Place in an oven-proof dish. Add the little clove of garlic and microwave for five minutes.
So, you've got five minutes to kill. Put on the kettle, for a cup of tea. Peel one third of your lemon, pinch a few drops for your tea, and keep the rest for a Tabouleh dish. Know the recipe for Tabouli Tabouleh? Or perhaps some Hummus. That's a Chickpean Garbanzo bean dip that I make EVERY week. Never miss...
Normally, if I was you, I'd let your eggplant cool. I burnt my fingers, trying to beat ten minutes. Moutabel in ten minutes? Mmm, yes I was convinced it could be done. Can it?
So, back into the blending bowl, and another quick blend. Not too much chilli, unless you really like it hot. One slither is enough for us. Nine minutes, and I have my Moutabel. I didn't count the time to clean the blender! But then I went straight on and made a bowl of Olive pate. A bit of aubergine wouldn't do any harm to my Olive pâté.
DISCIPLINEJup, I'm sure you guessed it. When I'm dealing all day with serious slipped disks, nasty ankle joint pain, a horrific frozen shoulder I have to be very disciplined, and it's done by the book.I love cooking, but it's here that I let my hair down. I hate being disciplined and cornered by recipes. If I don't have a lemon, well, how about an orange. Forgot the chilli, that's no big deal. Baba Ghannouj without a chilli is fantastic in its own right. No parsley? Mm, I wonder how it would taste with a few slices of cucumber. But the Tahini? That I can't live without!
BERNARD-PRESTON.COMAh, the other place I can let my hair down is by keeping my alter ego busy. But the editor keeps complaining that I split my infinitives, and I still don't know what that is! Here you can read the first chapter from my next book of anecdotes from the Chiropractic Coalface. Take a tour through Holland: STONES IN MY CLOG ... it's available for only $2.99, guaranteed hilarious fun, or your money back. What have I got myself into ? @ STONES IN MY CLOG...I cover many conditions in Stones in my Clog, pains like SLIPPED DISK ... an everyday condition at the Chiropractic Coalface, but the ANKLE JOINT PAIN ... and the most painful condition treated in my clinic, a FROZEN SHOULDER ... always something bizarre, funny and occasionally tragic. These are fun stories, great bedside reading, one chapter a night.
HYPERTENSION AND SESAMEResearch reported in Yale J Biol Med. 2006 that 50 hypertensive patients were instructed to use sesame oil as the only edible oil for six weeks. Their blood pressure returned to normal but, on withdrawing sesame seed oil for a further six weeks, their blood pressure returned to its previous hypertensive status.Whilst using sesame seed oil, body mass index (BMI) was reduced, (they lost weight) as was serum triglycerides, whilst serum anti-oxidants such as vitamin C and E in the blood increased. Conclusion: "The results suggested that sesame oil as an edible oil lowered blood pressure, decreased lipid peroxidation, and increased antioxidant status in hypertensive patients." COMPACT COMPOST TUMBLERSuccessful organic gardening is all about composting and, if you have a tiny garden, this tumbler is perfect, if a little expensive. Use all the raw waste from the kitchen and garden... for the larger garden I recommend the composting methods described on the same link... Then you can grow your own eggplant for your MOUTABEL Baba Ghannouj. COMPACT COMPOST TUMBLER and composting from sticks and small logs.
At Healthy Living Tips you'll find the reason we take no drugs at all, NONE!, haven't lost our marbles (yet!) and we're feeling younger, and working a darn side harder at 60+ than we did at 30! SLOW FOOD, MADE FAST is our slogan. Well, yes, I should also give my regular Chiropractic adjustment some credit, I guess, but there I have a vested interest and so you wouldn't believe me... And my bicycle, he gets credit too. It's a rare day I'm not on the bike and if this crazy Dutchman gets in a car once a month it's a lot! That I don't miss one iota. Now my motor-bike, that's another story... I miss ancient BMW like crazy! Have a good morning, make someone's day, say a prayer or two... thank you Jesus, life's good.
