5 Spice Grilled Peaches

There’s a little honey in this recipe, which, if the peaches are sweet and ripe enough, you could omit for Whole30.

In all of my years as a pastry chef, I determined that there are two types of dessert people in this world. Ooey Gooey and Fruity Crunchy. Which one are you? Although I am a fan of the darkest chocolate on the planet, I am truly a Fruity Crunchy person. Perhaps it stems from fruit being the primary form of dessert in a Greek household. I love an apple with a little honey and cinnamon. Fruit pies in the summer, mmmm. But alas, no gluten crust for me anymore. The filling is the best part anyway, right? If you agree, you’ll love this simple method for grilled peaches.

If you’re doing a Whole30, you can omit the honey and make the syrup from just ghee and 5-spice powder. Or, if you’re doing a reintroduction, honey is a good way to try out added sugars. (If you don’t like 5-spice powder, use cinnamon!)

Lentil Soup

Cook modePrevent screen from turning off

Ingredients

• 2 Tablespoons olive oil
• 2 cups onion, diced, or leeks
• 1 cup sized carrot, diced
• 1 cup celery, diced
• 3 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
• 1 cup dry green lentils
• 8 oz can tomato sauce
• 2 bay leaves
• 4 cups chicken bone broth or vegetable broth
• 1/2 teaspoon pepper
• 1 1/2 teaspoon salt
• splash balsamic vinegar

Method

1. Clean lentils and remove any “stones” or odd shaped lentils and set aside. If you like, you can soak them for 2-3 hours before beginning to cook. Place in a bowl with enough water to cover. Then drain before proceeding. I have found however, that this step is not necessary, and the lentils yield a creamier consistency if I cook without prior soaking. Choose your preference.
2. Add olive oil to a large stock pot. Add “mire poix” onion, carrot and celery, and sauté until fragrant and onions are translucent.
3. Add garlic and sauté until fragrant.
4. Add lentils and sauté to heat through and begin cooking process.
5. Add stock,salt and bay leaves, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until lentils are tender, about 40 minutes.
6. Before serving, season with salt and pepper to desired taste, and stir in a splash of good balsamic vinegar before serving.
