Carrot Lox, Cream Cheese & Bagels

Carrot Lox, Cream Cheese & Bagel

This vegan carrot lox is DA BOMB , so smoky and delish as the real deal!!!

Def use large and thick carrots for this, it’s way easier.

INGREDIENTS:

  • 4 large carrots
  • Sea Salt for coating
  • 3 tablespoons extra olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Big squeeze fresh lemon juice
  • Fresh ground pepper

for serving:

  • bagels
  • vegan cream cheese
  • cucumber slices
  • Capers

DIRECTIONS:

  • Preheat the oven to 475°F and line a medium baking dish with parchment paper.
  • Coat the bottom with about a ¼-inch layer of salt.
  • Then place the whole carrots in the dish and sprinkle with a good amount of salt. Don’t worry, you won’t be eating all this salt in the final result. Roast the carrots until easily pierced with a fork, but not mushy. The timing will depend on the size and freshness of your carrots. Check them, starting around 40 minutes – my very large carrots took 60-90 minutes. This step can be done in advance.
  • Make the marinade.
  • In a shallow dish or small bowl, combine the olive oil, rice vinegar, paprika, lemon juice, and several grinds of freshly ground black pepper.
  • Remove the carrots from the oven and let cool. Use your hands to rub off any excess salt.
  • Use a knife to slice a thin strip off one side of the salty skin.
  • Then use a peeler to peel the carrot into ribbons. If your peeler gets snagged on the soft carrot, don’t worry. Just slice pieces as thinly as you can with a sharp knife. Place the strips in the marinade and toss to coat. Transfer to the refrigerator and marinate for 15-30 minutes.
  • Serve with bagels, cream cheese, cucumber slices, capers, chives and/or dill.
  • If you have extra carrots, cover and refrigerate them in the marinade for up to 4 days.

Steamed Orange For Cough and Cold Remedy

Ancient Cough & Cold Remedy

Steamed orange is an ancient Chinese Medicine remedy to strengthen the Lung and balance the Stomach. In order for your Lungs to be strong, you need a balanced Stomach.

This remedy is perfect for coughs and colds too!!!! It’s so easy to make and it tastes delish too. Highly recommended during cold and flu season.

Directions:

  1. Wash the oranges with salt and rinse. I usually use 2 oranges for 1 serving.
  2. Cut off the top of the orange to create a cap.
  3. Sprinkle a teaspoon of salt on the inside of the orange. Alternatively you can use black sesame seed oil.
  4. Poke holes in the top of the orange to allow the salt or sesame oil to penetrate.
  5. Put the cap back on and place the oranges in bowls.
  6. Steam on the stove for about 20 minutes.
  7. Remove the caps and eat the orange in wedges or scoop out the inside with a spoon.
  8. Eat while hot!!!

Soak the oranges in salt water for 15 minutes. After soaking, steam them for a deeper cleansing. This method is useful if you’re really feeling unwell. You can also add a little honey on top of the salt before closing the tops and steaming. But make sure it’s unpasteurized honey.

You should eat steamed oranges once or twice a day until your symptoms improve.
