Servings: 12
Preparation Time: 30 minutes

Crust:

Lemon Ginger Chocolate Mousse:

  • 12 ounces semisweet chocolate, coarsely chopped
  • 3 ripe avocados, pitted and peeled
  • 1/4 cup raw honey
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • pinch pink Himalayan salt

Combine all the crust ingredients in a large food processor. Process until mostly smooth, scraping down the sides when necessary.

Transfer the nut mix to a plastic wrap lined baking sheet and smooth out into one large “crust” using the flat edge of a spatula.

Chill for 30-60 minutes, until “set.”

Using a round cookie cutter or the top of a glass jar, cut out tartlet rounds. Transfer the rounds to a wax paper or parchment lined cookie sheet and freeze for 2-3 hours, until hard.

For the mousse, melt the chocolate in a double boiler until silky smooth. Transfer to a high speed blender, along with the rest of the ingredients. Process until silky smooth.

Serve mousse over tarts.

whole-grain-rolled-oats-5lb-bag-large

Traditionally Produced Rolled Oats. Buy them here.

Our new rolled oats are grown on a small family farm in Wisconsin using sustainable methods without any pesticides, herbicides or chemical fertilizers. As an added assurance they are also tested for the presence of glyphosate and no trace was found. We have tested many batches of oats nationwide, including those certified organic, and it has been extremely difficult to find sources with no trace of the herbicide glyphosate present.

These oats are processed by a small family-run mill, also in Wisconsin, and are never subjected to any heat processing and are truly raw. This mill is dedicated to milling only grains grown on nearby farms that are free from pesticides and herbicides.

The oats are processed in small batches in order to keep them raw and as fresh as possible, making them an artisan, handcrafted product. As such you may find they contain more oat hulls in the package than you would normally find in oats that are processed by huge machines in factories.

A simple way to remove any remaining hulls is to soak the oats before consuming them. Soak your desired serving of oats in water and the hulls will begin to float to the top and can be skimmed off, then stir the oats and skim again, repeat this until no more hulls float.

Truly raw rolled oats

  • Grown sustainably on a small farm
  • Glyphosate-tested and no trace found
  • Processed in a family mill in small batches

Given that these are truly raw oats we recommend storing them in your freezer until ready to use for optimal results.

Shredded Coconut. Buy here.

Tropical Traditions 100% natural Shredded Coconut, Coconut Flakes, and Coconut Chips are made from organic dried coconuts in the Philippines that are grown with no fertilizers or pesticides. This premium dried coconut contains no additives or preservatives, and is not sweetened. Unlike most dried coconut on the market, our dried coconut products are not treated with sulfites to keep them white.

They are a great addition to recipes and baking, or just for snacks! Note: The Shredded Coconut is a very small cut, suitable for baking, such as making macaroons. The Coconut Flakes are a larger shredded coconut cut, perfect for garnishing or toppings, such as the top of a coconut cream pie. The Coconut Chips are a much larger cut that can be used as a snack food. You can mix them with nuts and dried fruit, for example.

Servings: 4
Preparation Time: 50 minutes

  • 1.1 pounds fresh clams
  • 1/2 cup dried coconut
  • 1 large onion, finely chopped
  • 1-2 green or red chilis (not dry) slit into halves
  • 4-5 Kokum / Gracinia indica
  • 1 teaspoon red chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
  • salt to taste
  • some water

Open clams into halves using a sharp knife. Then lift all the flesh from one shell, and drop it in the other and discard the shell with no flesh. Repeat for all the remaining clams.

Wash clams well in pure water 3-4 times then coat in turmeric powder and set aside for 10 minutes.

In a heavy bottom vessel, add these clams, and cook uncovered on medium high heat for 5 minutes, stir occasionally. (If you feel the clams are too dry, then add a tablespoon of water. Usually you do not require water for this.)

Now add dried coconut, chopped onions, slit chilis, and red chili powder. Mix well. Cover and cook on medium high heat for 10-15 minutes. Check in between for dryness. Add water if required but keep in mind this recipe needs to be very dry. After 15 minutes, add kokum and salt to taste.

Mix well and cook another 2 minutes then switch off the stove. Serve with fish curry rice.
