Ethiopian Green Beans and Potatoes

Delicious accompaniment to Berbere Stew.

Berberé Stew (Ethiopian Lentil Stew)

I love this highly spiced (but not spicy) lentil dish!

Curried Eggplant Salad with Peas

Cut 3 medium eggplants (about 1 lb each) into 1 inch cubes…

Creamy Mashed Cauliflower

All the low-carb versions of mashed cauliflower are filled with butter, cream, or cheese. This fat-free version is just as tasty and won’t clog your arteries with animal fat!

Baked Falafel Sandwich

If you’ve been craving the deep-fried falafel served in Middle Eastern restaurants but don’t want all the fat, this baked falafel is for you. Cooked chickpeas are combined with a blend of exotic herbs and spices, formed into a patty, and then pan-browned before baking. Stuff it into a warm pita with crispy vegetables and top it with tahini sauce–delicious!

Cold Asparagus with a Chinese Dressing

You won’t believe how delicious this simple recipe is. The asparagus is barely cooked and retains its bright green color.

Cold Eggplants with Spicy Chinese Peanut Dressing

Peanut sauce takes eggplant to a new level.

Claypot-Cooked Vegetables with Shiitake and Chinese Five-Spice

This recipe uses a traditional Chinese clay pot to bake the vegetables in the oven, but you can use any covered casserole dish. If using a casserole dish, there’s no need to set it in water–just put it directly into the oven.

Algerian Cauliflower

1 cup chopped tomatoes
2 large cloves garlic…

Basil Eggplant (Pud Makua Yow)

Basil eggplant is a simple dish to make. The basil and chili pepper, however, turn the mundane eggplant into something exciting. It can also be made without peppers for kids.

Chinese Asparagus in Ginger-Scented Brown Sauce

1 pound medium or thick asparagus
1/2 cup vegetable stock or canned broth…

Melon Salad

4 cups watermelon balls or cubes
2 cups cantaloupe balls or cubes…

Strix’s Raw “Orange Julius”

2 large juicy oranges, peeled and seeded ( use the white part surrounding the orange — it’s good! Adds creaminess)…

Strix’s Pecan Pralines Ice Cream, Raw

Okay, this reads long and looks like it’s a lot of work and complicated, but it it is not; I’m just very wordy This is actually very quick and easy, lowfat or fat free, and delicious!

Walnut-Flaxseed Hummus

Instead of sesame tahini, this hummus recipe uses walnuts and flax seed, which are rich in important Omega-3 fatty acids. The result is milder-tasting than traditional hummus, but equally delicious. An added bonus: People following the Eat to Live nutritional program can eat this without guilt!
