Commercial Ice-cream is generally full of refined sugar, artificial additives and emulsifiers. This recipe is a great alternative and is so easy to make.
When cooked it does actually look like spaghetti. So cool! And delicious too.
To Cook:
Cut it in half, rub over a little ghee, season and bake it in the oven for 45 mins – 1 hour at 180 deg. Scoop out the strands of flesh and use as desired and freeze the rest in portion sizes for added convenience.
It is so versatile. It can be used wherever you would normally use pasta. Soups, pasta dishes, omelettes – possibilities are endless.
They are in season now (April) and nature does this for a reason. They have fabulous antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties providing us with an immune boost in readiness for the flu season.
1 Probiotic Supplement (fermenting option – I use ‘Kefiran’)
Whisk together the egg yolks, apple cider vinegar, turmeric/mustard powder and salt in a bowl. Very slowly pour in avocado oil as a thin stream while whisking continuously until thick. Store in the fridge and use within 5 days.
To ferment – once mayonnaise is thick, sprinkle contents of probiotic supplement and stir through thoroughly. Place mayonnaise in a jar and cover with a lid and let it stand on the bench for 7 hours. Fermented mayonnaise will keep in the fridge for up to 2 weeks – if it lasts that long!
I’m not keen on the flavour of mayonnaise made with olive oil or macadamia oil and vegetable oils are not natural oils (I recommend you avoid them like the plague). I love the flavour of avocado oil mayonnaise and it goes really well with eggs, meat (especially seafood and chicken) and great in coleslaw and salads. My husband, very affectionately, calls it green goop! Store bought salad dressings are usually made with unnatural vegetable oils, sugar and other suspect additives – not a nourishing food at all!
