White Bean, Basil, Sun-dried Tomatoes and Turmeric Spread

You know we like our spreads and dips, especially classic Italian ones. These days, on the #NaturopathPrescribedDiet I serve them on rice crackers. The Pure Harvest ones with quinoa are one of my favourites. We keep the cupboard well stocked with a variety of them.

This spread is a simple recipe that purees beans seasoned with olive oil, garlic, turmeric, lemon juice and fresh basil, and can be made mostly out of cupboard ingredients.

It is divine in flavour and texture, with a multitude of uses. We made it a lot during Covid lockdowns when it was difficult to get fresh ingredients. So we substituted a lot. Parsley for basil, or coriander, or chives. I have even used rocket and baby spinach. Or simply left the basil out. It is so versatile.

We often add sun-dried tomatoes and fennel seeds - it is a fabulous idea that came out of #Moosewood by #MollyKatzen – we've adopted this combo and use it in all sorts of things now.

I have also been browsing #TheUdupiKitchen by #MalatiSrinivasan - I have cooked a number of dishes from this book, and all are marked "Divine!", "Gorgeous", "So good!" and similar. I hadn't realised that this was the case, until I started browsing through it.

Udupi is one of the food capitals of South India. It is not surprising that the recipes of a 95 yr old, recorded by her daughter as her mother writes them from memory, are fabulous. She wrote out 175 recipes, 100 of which appear in this book. I would have loved to have seen the other 75.

The cover. A brass container with food sits on a red tablecloth scattered with flowers and next to a tray with flowers and 2 simple, lit oil lamps.

Cookbook browsing today....

The cookbooks that have really good recipes for my #NaturopathPrescribedDiet are all Ayurvedic cookbooks with simple, Indian dishes.

This one is included. Not all recipes are Ayurvedic in this book (she does have one focused solely on Ayurveda). And not all are Indian-style recipes. But they are all simple and good. And vegetarian.

Living Ahimsa Diet: Nourishing Love & Life, by Maya Tiwari

A good one to browse today and refocus life.

A green cover, swirly Indian-suggestive patterns, circles with emblems in them suggesting seasons and food.
