New and Exciting Dish!

By



I know that we usually do recipes on only Mondays, but we figure this is something to help everyone get through the rest of the week!


Sometimes its good to step outside the box. There's nothing wrong with tried and true, but trying something new is always exciting. Today's recipe involves azuki beans. An east Asian and Himalayan bean that is a good source of a variety of minerals. It's very popular in Asia, but not so much stateside, so let's give it a try!



Creamy Beany Coconut Curry
(Serves about 4)

 6 ounces adzuki beans, soaked overnight
 3 ounces coconut chips
 2 ounces ground almonds
 2 cups warm water
 1 tblspn eSutras Organics extra virgin Olive Oil
 1/2 tblspn apple cider vinegar
 2 tspn eSutras Organics Raw Cane Juice sugar
 1 1/2 tspn eSutras Organics Curry Powder
 1 tspn eSutras Organics Turmeric powder
 1 tspn onion granules
 1/2 tspn eSutras Organics Greek Seasoning blend
 1/2 tspn eSutras Organics Ground Cardamom
 1/4 tspn eSutras Organics Cinnamon Bark
 2 carrots, diced
 1 sweet potato, diced


Directions:

1. Place the adzuki beans in a pan and fill with plenty of water, a couple inches above the beans. Bring to a boil then cover and simmer gently for 45 minutes. Make sure they are done and tender.
2. Meanwhile, place the rest of the ingredients, except the carrot and sweet potato, in a bowl and cover with the warm water. Leave to soak for 30-45 minutes.

3. After the coconut mix has finished soaking, transfer to a blender and blend until smooth, stopping a couple of times to scrape down the sides. Once it is a smooth consistency, set aside. Once the beans have cooked, transfer them to a colander and rinse.
5. Rinse the pan, and add the cooked beans back to the pan along with the coconut mixture, carrots and sweet potato. Cover the pan and bring to a boil, then simmer for 15 minutes until carrots and sweet potato are tender.
Serve with rice. This is one of the most delicious curries you'll ever taste!!  Great for leftovers, too! Try this unique dish and check out many more at www.esutras.com

Mother Earth, Mother Nature, We the Children & Easter

By
Did you know the first Greek God was actually a Goddess?. he is Gaia, or Mother Earth, who created herself out of primordial chaos. From her fertile womb all life sprang, and unto Mother Earth all living things must return after their allotted span of life is over.  Gaia, as Mother Nature, personifies the entire ecosystem of Planet Earth.  Mother Nature is always working to achieve and maintain harmony, wholeness and balance within the environment. Mother Nature heals, nurtures and supports all life on this planet, and ultimately all life and health depend on Her. In time, Nature heals all ills. The way of Mother Gaia is the passive, feminine, Yin way of healing. All we need to do to regain our health is to return to the bosom of Mother Nature and live in accordance with Her laws. The Gaia archetype underlies all notions of the Nature Cure. Mother Nature is a healing goddess for the ancients whose glory was celebrated each spring, long before organized religion came into...
