Artichoke Hearts with Chef Aron

Artichokes are native to the whole Mediterranean region. The whole Mediterranean area is known for the lowest rates of chronic disease and with that,… longevity

Mediterranean cuisine does not often feature Artichoke, but they are delicious and feature here. They are great, and should feature in a healthy Mediterranean Diet. A couple of Artichokes only contain about 25 calories and no fat. They are a good source of vitamin c, potassium, folate, magnesium, anti-oxidants and fibre.

The most beneficial way of serving Artichoke, is to keep the sauces, dips, and dressings, low in fat, and you are on the way to well-being incorporating Artichoke in your Diet..

How to do Artichoke Hearts

https://mediterraneandietrecipies.wordpress.com/ All Written Recipes here in full.

I use the wilted Artichokes as the little older ones have more flavour.
Peel them back until you only get the beautiful yellowy green look. Strip the stem too and remove any brown bits.

In the Pot

In the pot Chef Aron has the juice and skins of about ten (10) Lemons and two (2) whole Oranges.
Cut up a handful of Fennel and add to pot.
Crush up four (4) cloves of Garlic and add.
Palm full of Peppercorns always goes well.
Two table spoons of white vinegar and two table spoons of Apple Cider, or Ginger Beer is ok.
Vegetable Oil infused with Orange of about 80 mils. and about the same in Peanut Oil (avoid using Extra virgin Olive Oil) Might add here, if you are allergic to Peanut Oil, just use a quality Veg. oil as substitute.
At this point add half a bottle of White Wine and give it all a good stir.
TASTE
Probably needs Sugar to sweeten up a bit, add a small hand full to start with, and taste again.
Now it needs a few good pinches of Sea or Rock Salt.
Add all the remaining Wine from the bottle, barring one glass full, as you deserve this.
Cut up the Artichoke as per the Video.

Important to bury the Artichoke in the mix to avoid it going brown, also during cooking.
Bring all that hard work up to the boil and turn down a bit to simmer just off the boil.
Simmer for about one hour, reducing the liquid, then stand to cool and there you have it.
Happy Days!

The Written Recipe

How to do the Mediterranean Diet Recipe Collection, Asparagus Omelette

Crack 6 eggs into a large bowl, and whisk vigorously, so there is no egg spam. You will want to strain the eggs with a fine strainer to remove any clots of egg and possible shell and set aside.

Egg straining, Mediterranean Diet Recipes Collection removing shell and egg clots, — Egg straining, Mediterranean Diet Recipes Collection

Then heat the pan on high heat, ready for asparagus.

(Tip 1. Blanch asparagus before adding egg mixture, so it’s half-cooked and set aside)

When pan is hot enough, add the asparagus so you can hear sizzle noise.

Then measure boiling water into jug, 500mls – 750mls.

Add the boiled water and move around and separate asparagus, then simmer gently for approx 1min 30.
(remove most of the water from the asparagus so it can reduce, and does not over cook)

Now add the extra olive oil (EVO) approx 3 – 3 1/2tbs, stir around a bit, the popping noise is the EVO and water evaporating, so all is good.

With the remaining liquid, let it reduce to enhance the flavors, therefore let reduce to nearly no liquid.

Here you add ingredients

Add the garlic to the egg mixture, and then give it a quick whisk. Add some salt and pepper, and add the egg mixture to the asparagus, then turn pan down to just under the high mark.

You don’t want to color it too much, and do not stir. Put the lid on the pan, and after one minute take the lid off and turn the pan down to low, so then it will cook all the way through,

Once cooked flip onto a cutting board or larger flat plate ready to cut a serve to the whole family and your besties.

Asparagus Omelette Remembering one thing in the whole process of cooking great food for a group of people…are you making enough? This recipe feeds a hungry 4 or so, therefore add more if required, up to what you think…you can only destroy this recipe by over cooking.

Here’s the one we did for all the Besties…amazing what double the recipes ingredients can do…more like a Frittata . It fed the throng.

MEDITERRANEAN DIET RECIPIES

CHICKEN with ALMONDS (Galletto con le Mandorle)
by Chef Aron Harder
This recipe is part of the Mediterranean Diet Recipes Collection in the written form is not exactly how Chef Aron describes it in his video attachment. Most importantly, you be the judge as to which way you would like to do this as it works both ways.

Yummy Chicken with Almonds in Mediterranean Diet Recipes Collection

CHICKEN with ALMONDS (Galletto con le Mandorle)

What you will need.
1 Chicken, cut into 8 pieces as shown in the video accordingly.
The chicken should be fairly large about 3-31/2 pounds.
3/4 Cup blanched almonds and crush them into crumb like size.
1/4 Cup blanched whole almonds and toast them.
1 Tbs. tomato paste.
4 Tbs. white or red wine vinegar
6 Tbs. olive oil.
2 Tbs sugar.
1 Tbs. salt.
1/2 T pepper.
1 T salt.

STARTING THIS WAY
You start with browning the chicken pieces in 2 Tbs. of the olive oil over a low heat. This will take about 15 min. in total. Set aside so as to drain the chicken of excess oils therefore collecting, to add later on, therefore adding more volume and taste.

"That You Penny" adding flavor to the Mediterranean Diet Recipes Collection 4,seven tasty chickens sitting on a fence, — “That You Penny, adding flavor to the Mediterranean Diet Recipes are you?…hmmmm”.

BRINGING TOGETHER MEDITERRANEAN DIET RECIPES

Carefully pour in the balance of your olive oil into the pan with the tomato paste previously dissolved in one cup of luke warm water. Bring this up to temperature bubbling, then add the crushed almonds, pepper, salt, sugar, and finally the vinegar, because these add the essential flavors (seasoning) to the mix.

ALL IN THE MIX

When this mix comes up to the boil, add the chicken pieces, then reduce the heat and cook uncovered for about 45 or so minutes. Besides this, always check to see if the liquid is evaporating, so you can add a little water if the now sauce, gets a little thick.

DO THIS THEN ARRANGE ON YOUR BEST PLATTER

Don’t for get to turn the chicken over to baste both sides, because this will also make you check to see if the chicken is in fact cooked right through with a fork. Sprinkle the toasted almonds on top

KANGAROO TAIL with ROASTED POTATO

Australian Kangaroo is a game meat and should be cooked “rare”

Mediterranean Diet Recipies

Kangaroo Tail with Roasted Potato
Why is “Kangaroo Tail with Roasted Potato”… even a part of Mediterranean Cuisine you ask?

Got your attention?

This recipe is one of my favorites as it uses good old Aussie Kangaroo Tail with Roasted Potato. This is one of the leanest of red meats available and only contains about 2% of fat. These fats are the good ones, and I thought I would share this with you for your enjoyment. Please feel free to use Goat if you can’t get any “Roo”

I am aware that this recipe should have been done with Goat, to be in keeping with the Mediterranean theme, but Australians just love to eat their national wild animals. They are so tasty, and in this case Kangaroo (Skippy) is the greater substitute for Goat.

Australian Kangaroo Tail with Roasted Potato in Mediterranean Diet recipes Collection - 2 should be cooked Rare. — Australian Kangaroo

Kangaroo is a game meat and should be cooked “rare” Like Venison in the Scandinavian countries, along with Crocodile, Buffalo, and Emu in Australia, are culinary delicacies. All in high demand in Australia, and exported to all but remote countries around the world. Very tasty…Aussie “Roo”, do try some before you comment. Enjoy the video and the written recipe.

Mediterranean Diet Recipes Collection – Kangaroo Tail

The Written Word – How To do It

How To Do It

Using Kangaroo Tail with Roasted Potato for this recipe… just remove the sinew from the cuts of Kangaroo Tail as demonstrated by Chef Aron, and the cut sizing should be about the same as an average chicken breast.
