Apples in Ghee

With all of us here doing the GAPS diet (to improve our health - very similar to the Weston Price diet based on the principles of traditional peoples, but this is a little different for people who have serious health issues, which sometimes do not respond to the Weston Price diet), we are always looking for new breakfast ideas. Bacon and eggs... free range organic eggs from chickens getting lots of minerals and iodine are hands down favourite along with our own home cured bacon, but this is our next best favourite these days. This recipe was Emma’s idea, but we all love it, especially with the heritage apples that have good flavor and some sharpness, cooking type apples are way the best (Reinette du Canada, Worcester Pearmain, we found a wildingroadside seedling apple thsi summer near where weare living which wecalled Craggy Range Star becaueseach apple had a red  star on top that was the best for breakfast).

Apples in Ghee:

  • 1 apple per person, cored and sliced into 1cm thick slices, or cubes
  • 1 Tbsp ghee or butter for each apple
  • a pinch of solar dried seasalt
  • 1 heaped Tbsp per person of toasted coconut
  • full fat yoghurt or kefir (home made from raw milk) to serve

Fry the apples in ghee with the salt, and serve with yoghurt and
toasted coconut.

Optional: some organic raisins or date slices, or even some blueberries added to the ghee when cooking apples. We froze organic blueberries when they were in season for this breakfast.

It’s pretty good, with loads of flavour enzymes and traditional fat (ghee, coconut and yoghurt) which is the aim of this exercise! It’s also what makes the meal satisfying and makes you feel full all
morning!
