The soul of clean eating is consuming food in

its most natural state, or as close to it as possible.
It is not a diet; its a lifestyle approach to food
and its preparation, leading to an improved
life one meal at a time.
Eat five to six times a day three meals and
two to three small snacks. Include a lean
protein, plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables,
and a complex carbohydrate with each meal.
This keeps your body energized and burning
calories efficiently all day long.
Choose organic whenever possible.

If your budget limits you, make meat,
eggs, dairy and the Dirty Dozen (ewg.org/
foodnews) your organic priorities.
Drink at least two liters of water a day
preferably from a reusable canteen, not plastic;
were friends of the environment here! Limit
your alcohol intake to one glass of antioxidantrich red wine a day.
Get label savvy. Clean foods contain short
ingredient lists. Any product with a long
ingredient list is human-made and not
considered clean.
Avoid processed and refined foods

such as white flour, sugar, bread and pasta.
Enjoy complex carbs such as whole
grains instead.
Know thy enemies. Steer clear of anything
high in trans fats, anything fried or anything
high in sugar.
Consume healthy fats (essential fatty acids,
or EFAs) every day.
Learn about portion sizes and work toward
eating within them.
Red, White & Blue Cheese Cobb Salad
Smoked Salmon Burger

Reduce your carbon footprint. Eat produce

that is seasonal and local. It is less taxing on
your wallet and our environment.
Shop with a conscience.

Consume humanely raised and local meats.
Slow down and savor. Never rush through
a meal. Food tastes best when savored.
Enjoy every bite.
Take it to go. Pack a cooler for work or
outings so you always have clean eats
on the go.

Happy summer clean eaters, and please stay in touch!
Seasonal Obsessions I'm (Embarrassingly) Excited About

basil, oregano, thyme,
rosemary, mint,
sage and chives,
and have been planning all my meals
around their intensely fresh favors!

LAKESHORE RUNS
We wait all winter for
warm weather here
in Toronto and once
it fnally hits, I force
myself out of bed

COOL COOKING
Im obsessed with
super-fresh meals
such as the caprese salad and the
pesto pasta salad I
recently made for
my best friends baby
shower using the
basil from my herb
garden, of course!
peppered throughout this

issue (peruse them all on page
97), each and every recipe was
curated especially for you,
with your jam-packed summer
schedule in mind. So how do
we quantify the term easy?
According to an overwhelming response from our readers,
easy means recipes that are
30 minutes, 10 ingredients and
3 simple steps or less. Nearly
every recipe inside was developed and tested using that
simple formula with many of
them requiring even less time
and fewer ingredients! Let us
take the time and stress out of
meal prep this summer so you
can continue to eat incredibly
well, but also carve out time
for plenty of play.

Q:
Oil pulling seems to be all the rage lately. Is there any

scientifically proven truth to its touted benefits?

PARK RAPIDS, MN
From her country roots to the finedining kitchens of Manhattan and

back again, Amy Thielen took inspiration from her Midwestern upbringing
to pen The New Midwestern Table:

practiced for centuries by ancient peoples. Antibacterial, antiviral and

antifungal, coconut oil is a powerful tool in maintaining a bacteria-free mouth.
The pulling refers to the way in which the oil is believed to extract or pull
bacteria and other toxins out from the mouth. I have been using sesame or
coconut oil for this purpose and love how clean my mouth feels after I have
done it. For best results, you are supposed to swish the oil around your mouth
for 10 to 20 minutes each time. When I recently told my dentist that I had been
oil pulling, she was blown away at how healthy and clean my mouth was, and
she remarked at how much brighter and whiter my gums and teeth looked.
While there is little scientific evidence on oil pulling, there are at least 3,ooo
years of anecdotal evidence suggesting the power of the process.

instructed to chop some veggies,
run them through the food
processor, and then later called for
another trip to the food processor.

Health-Watch Expos:
How to Break Through
Your Weight Loss Plateau
By Amber Rios
eing a health and nutrition

correspondent means that companies
frequently send me their products,
and ask for my stamp of approval. Most
of the time I dive into research, give the
product a try, and send the company honest
feedback about what theyll need to change
before Ill recommend it. Plus, my hectic job
and my determination to stay ft means Im
always hunting for a quick and nutritious
way to fll up on nutrients my body needs.
So I can confdently say, Ive tried it all.
Like many people out there, one of
my biggest frustrations when I am trying
to lose weight is when my progress halts
despite the fact that I continue to follow a
strict plan. On my last workout, I expressed
my frustration to my elite personal trainer,
Tony, a triathlon winning, organic-to-thebone ftness guy with a ten mile long track
record of whipping the whos who into
shape in record time. Tony handed me a
meal replacement drink and told me to
include it in my regular diet. He simply said,
You will be astounded by the taste and the
results you will see!
With more than a healthy dose of
scepticism, I decided to investigate the
shake Tony handed me to try called
INVIGOR8.
Turns out, he was right about the taste.
After one sip I thought there is no way
this can be healthy because the creamy
chocolate favor is just too delicious. I was
stunned because virtually every other
meal replacement shake Ive tried has
tasted chalky, clumpy and are packed with
hidden no-nos like cheap protein, tons
of artifcial ingredients, not to mention
harmful synthetic dyes, additives, sugars,
preservatives, and hormones. And even
though INVIGOR8s full meal replacement
shake costs more than many of the shakes
Ive tried, it was about half the price of my
favorite salad, and the nutrition profle
looked second to none.
Still sceptical, I looked up the reviews
online and reached out to a few people to

get their feedback on the product. By the
next morning three people got back to
me saying, As a trainer I love Invigor8. Its
defnitely helped me to have more all-day
energy, plus build the kind of lean sculpted
muscle that burns more fat.
Yes, Ill recommend it, it tastes great,
and I really like how it keeps me feeling full
for hours.
Im a marathon runner and a friend
recommended it to me. Drinking it has
become a part of my regular training
routine, because my time has improved, my
energy is up, and Im thinking more clearly
than ever before.
I decided to take my investigation
one step further by researching the
development of INVIGOR8. I was pleasantly
surprised to fnd out that the company went
to great lengths to keep INVIGOR8 free of
harmful ingredients.
The makers of INVIGOR8 were
determined to make the frst 100% natural,
organic, non-GMO nutritional shake &
superfood. The result is a meal replacement
shake that contains 100% grass-fed whey
that has a superior nutrient profle to the
grain-fed whey found in most shakes,
metabolism boosting raw organic coconut
oil, hormone free colostrum to promote a
healthy immune system, Omega 3, 6, 9-rich
chia and faxseeds, superfood greens like
kale, spinach, broccoli, alfalfa, and chlorella,
and clinically tested cognitive enhancers
for improved mood and brain function.
The company even went a step further by
including a balance of pre and probiotics
for optimal digestive health, uptake, and
regularity and digestive enzymes so your
body absorbs the high-caliber nutrition you
get from INVIGOR8.
As a whole-foods nutritionist with
a thriving practice, I understand the
importance of flling my body with the best
Mother Nature has to ofer. I am always
reluctant when trying new products because
I am never sure of the impact they will have

on my energy and weight. INVIGOR8 is
diferent, not only because its delicious,
but because it helps me to maintain the
energy I need to run my busy practice, while
staying ft and toned. Considering all of the
shakes Ive tried, I can honestly say that the
results Ive experienced from INVIGOR8 are
nothing short of amazing.
A company spokesperson confrmed a
special ofer: if you order this month, youll
receive Free Enrollment into the companys
Loyalty Program where youll qualify to
receive a $10 discount on every bottle of
INVIGOR8. And so you dont go a month
without INVIGOR8 - helping you lose weight
while getting toned, youll automatically
receive a fresh bottle every 30-days. There
are no minimum amounts of bottles to buy
and you can cancel at any time. You can order
INVIGOR8 today at www.DrinkInvigor8.com
or by calling 1-800-958-3392.
MARKET NAMES: Red Daikon, Shinrimei,

Roseheart and Red Meat
SEASON: Available year-round, but
peak season is spring and late fall
PICK IT: If possible, purchase watermelon radishes with greens and roots
attached. Select firm-to-the-squeeze
radishes with leaves that are still perky
and crisp
STORE IT: Remove stems and leaves
and store radishes separately in a
punctured, zip-top bag in the fridge for
up to 2 weeks. Occasionally check in and
consume before they soften. Use leaves
in soups, stews, sauts and stir-frys within
2 to 4 days
SUPERFOOD:
Watermelon
RADISHES
A member of the Brassica family of vegetables, along with cabbage,

cauliflower, Brussels sprouts and kale, these vibrant Chinese radishes get
their moniker from their white-and-green exterior and fuchsia flesh that
resemble the summer picnic staple. Brighten up any dish and get the
cookout conversation started with this whimsical market pick.
BY ALICIA REWEGA
EAT IT: Slightly milder and much

larger than their peppery red radish
counterparts, watermelon radishes
have a sweet, subtle almond undertone.
Watermelon radishes are excellent raw
but also taste delicious braised, roasted
or mashed
PREP IT: Scrub radishes, trim root ends
and then soak; serve raw in salads or
pasta salads, or use as a garnish, shaved,
sliced widthwise or into matchsticks. Also
try them braised or roasted as a side or
in soups and gratins. Theyre brilliant for
pickling too!
HEALTH BENEFIT: A good source of
vitamins such as vitamin C, niacin, folate,
riboflavin and thiamin as well as minerals
phosphorus, potassium, calcium and
magnesium, watermelon radishes are
also rich in antioxidants and electrolytes.
Theyre an ultra-light snack with just

A: The notion of food addiction, specifically

carbohydrate addiction (since most folks dont
binge on steak and broccoli), has been around
for a while but remains controversial. Now a
study published in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition has documented the prevalence of
food addiction in a large US-based population
of women. Using the Yale Food Addiction Scale,
researchers found that over 8% of women 45 to
64 years old met the criteria for being addicted
to foods, while a smaller 3% percent of women
62 to 88 years old met the criteria. In view of
recent books documenting how food scientists
design their food products to be downright
irresistible by manipulating levels of salt, sugar,
and fat, these results show an alarming trend.
Best advice: If you know that a food is a trigger
food for you, the old adage everything in moderation may not work for you. Resist the first bite altogether to avoid an expertly plotted food addiction!
BABY
INSURANCE
A large, multinational study showed that if youre pregnant,
eating fish even just once a week may lower your risk of
premature birth. Women with a higher rate of fish intake
during pregnancy also gave birth to babies with a slightly
higher birth weight. Interestingly, that finding was even more
pronounced in smokers and in overweight or obese women!

NOT-SOSWEET HEART
Sugar and spice may be
everything nice in nursery
rhymes, but the sugar part of
the duo is anything but nice
when it comes to your heart.
A recent study found that
adults who consumed 10% to
24% of their daily calories from
added sugars (not those found
naturally in foods like fruits, but
added to food products by the
manufacturer) saw a 30% increased risk of dying from heart
disease compared to those who
consumed less than 10% of
their daily calories from added
sugars. Even more surprising,
those who consumed more
than 25% of their daily calories
from sugar had an increased
risk of dying from heart disease
of wait for it 175%! (For the
record, a whopping 70% of
adults consume at least 10% of
their daily calories from added
sugar.) Too much sugar does
not just make us fat," wrote
Laura Schmidt, PhD, in the
JAMA Internal Medicine. It can
also make us sick. Train your
palate to crave fewer sweets: Try
your coffee and tea au naturel
and opt for naturally sweet
whole foods over sugar-laden
packaged items. It may be an
adjustment, but soon youll
find sweetened foods will taste
too sweet for you and youre
already sweet enough!
Lack of
Exercise
Rewires
the Brain
Most of us look at clean

eating as part of an overall
lifestyle to improve health,
well-being, and longevity, and that lifestyle includes
physical activity. But exercising
or not exercising doesnt
just affect the waistline.
A new study by researchers
at the Wayne State University
School of Medicine found that
physical inactivity can actually alter, or rewire, the brain,
particularly the areas associated
with cardiovascular health.
The researchers theorized that
these changes to the brain
affect the areas that regulate
breathing, blood pressure and
heart rate, and may contribute
to an increased risk of cardiovascular disease in sedentary
individuals. So what are you
waiting for? Get out there, get
moving and enjoy the summer.
Blueberries, strawberries and raspberries taste

best at room temperature rather than chilled.
For optimal flavor, remove
them from the fridge
an hour or two
before eating.

Margarita Shrimp
SERVES 4. HANDS-ON TIME: 20 MINUTES.
TOTAL TIME: 20 MINUTES (PLUS MARINATING TIME).
INGREDIENTS:
cup 100% agave tequila
3 tbsp fresh lime juice plus 1 tsp lime zest
3 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp raw honey or 2 tbsp fresh orange juice
1 jalapeo chile pepper, seeded and
minced, optional
1 lb peeled, deveined and tail-on large
shrimp (raw fresh or frozen, defrosted
and drained)
High-heat cooking oil (such as grape
seed or safflower), as needed
PURE AGAVE
TEQUILAS have herbal
and mineral qualities
that enhance the
flavor of the marinade
and help the flavor
penetrate.
Pinch each sea salt and fresh ground

black pepper
EQUIPMENT:
Large bamboo skewers, soaked in
water for 1 hour
INSTRUCTIONS:
We all know that properly pairing

wine with food will enhance a dish,
but did you know that cooking with
wine, beer and spirits has an even
greater flavor-enhancing effect? It all
comes down to the science of cooking; evaporation and molecular bonding. Alcohol evaporates
relatively quickly and brings the flavor to our nose
think about macerated berries in a little liqueur
and how wonderful they smell. Thats the alcohol
carrying the flavor and aroma of the fruit. Alcohol
also has the amazing ability to bond with fat and
water, which is important in a brine or marinade.
Some marinade ingredients are only fat soluble,
while some are strictly water soluble, so alcohol
helps bridge the gap and allows the flavors to
penetrate. The same principle applies with stewing and braising. Alcohol also enhances sauces because of both evaporation and molecular bonding. When you dissolve ingredients in alcohol, and
reduce the sauce itself, the alcohol intensifies the
flavors. A sauce made with water or broth wont
be as flavorful. Lastly, a common myth is that alcohol burns off during cooking, which isnt entirely
true. The amount leftover depends on the original
amount of alcohol, cooking temperature, cooking
and resting time and the cookware used.

Dispelling the myth that gluten-free foods mean flavor-free fare,

author Erin Scott began developing gluten-free recipes after being
diagnosed with celiac disease and finding out her two children were
also gluten-intolerant. As a result, Yummy Supper is a compilation of
exceptional recipes that range from a simple Watercress Salad with
Balsamic Cherries to an elegant Oven-Roasted Pork with Fennel
Seeds, Garden Rosemary and Garlic Rub. Divided into well-organized
chapters such as Slurp, Veg, Egg and Butcher Shop, Scott delves into
her simple solutions to gluten-free living, such as cooking at home
and eating more whole foods. BY ERIN SCOTT (RODALE, $25)

inspired to share the recipes from her blog (along with new recipes) in
The Oh She Glows Cookbook. Now in her collection of totally-delicious
vegan recipes, including the Grilled Portobello Burger with Sun-Dried
Tomato Kale Hemp Pesto, Liddon promises to satiate the appetites of
vegans and meat-eaters alike. The cookbook also features smoothies

COOKING WITH
AMY THIELEN
The Food Network host dishes up a slew of useful tips

and tricks for garden bounty and farmers market finds.
utting a fresh spin on rustic fare

comes naturally to Amy Thielen
thanks to her northern
Minnesota roots. As the host of Food
Networks Heartland Table, Thielen has
an approachable cooking style that
maximizes fresh garden bounty.
People who grow their own food have
a lot; it may not be fancy, but its
generous and honest, she says.
Even though she refined her culinary
skills at some of New York Citys top
restaurants, she encourages home
cooks to simply follow their appetites
because everyone just wants great
recipes that offer the comfort and
quality of real food. Thielen spoke with
Clean Eating from her kitchen in Park
Rapids, Minnesota, sharing her secrets
for building flavors and the best
vegetables for beginner gardeners,
along with a recipe that makes the most
of seasonal, garden-fresh produce.
Thielen recently won a James Beard
Award for her cookbook, The New
Midwestern Table: 200 Heartland Recipes
(Clarkson Potter, 2013).
Q How did living in the Midwest

influence your view of clean
eating?
A The kitchen I grew up in reached back
to my great-grandmothers era where
they used a lot of vegetables. I havent
changed my eating habits because we
enjoyed food that was real. My mom
taught me how to peel carrots and core
apples. The food prep methods I grew
up with are a big part of how I cook now.
28
Clean Eating
JULY/AUGUST 2014
Favorite garden-variety and what

are three ways to prepare it?
Whats the secret to building

flavor in a dish?
Whether its from your garden or the

farmers market, beans are so much better
when theyre in season. In fact, I grow four
or five different kinds including green filet,
Romano, fava and soybeans. With young
green beans, I make a lemony sauce. I also
like to toast walnuts in a little olive oil and
thyme, then toss them with green beans
and a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese.
When youre searing chicken or pork

in a hot pan, for example, take out the
meat and leave all the brown bits in
the pan. For basic weeknight cooking,
youll want to incorporate whats in
the pan into your sauce by deglazing it
because its a simple way to build flavor. Add broth or wine, Dijon mustard,
capers, rosemary, lemon juice and a
dab of butter for a piquant sauce that
you can pour over your meat. You can
just do this in a pan and make the flavor
that youre crazy about.
What is your favorite

summer flavor combination?
Ground cherries, which are also known
as pineapple tomatillos, with yellow
cherry tomatoes. These two go well
together in a vinaigrette salad or in a
sweet and fruity pico de gallo.
Best starter-crop for novice

gardeners?
If you have plenty of sun, eggplant is
amazing. I grow Asian eggplant. Buy a
starter plant and keep picking it so that
itll keep producing. Its great for stir-frys,
curries and eggplant Parmesan. You can
grill it until the skin blisters and becomes
soft. Then, scrape off the black skin and
put the smoked eggplant flesh into a bag
and freeze it for winter. When you want
to make baba ghanoush, thaw out the
eggplant and mix it with garlic and yogurt
or mayonnaise, and it will have a really
smoky flavor.
Tricks for instilling healthy

eating habits at an early age?
Every morning, my mom would ask my
brother and me to pick the vegetables
or side dishes, and she would pick the
protein. If one of us chose corn and
the other squash, shed encourage us
to pick a green vegetable instead. It
taught us how to make a balanced plate
with different colors and also taught
us how flavors played together. Now I
find myself asking my 6-year-old if hes
eating his rainbow!

ouve heard the phrase an ounce

of prevention is worth a pound of
cure. The same can be said about
fresh berries a few minutes of
care are worth many extra days of enjoyment.
Fresh berries are often $5 or more per carton,
so when they drop in price during the summer
months its a good time to stock up. Because of
their delicate structure and high water content, it
may seem as though your fresh berries lose their
luster overnight, making your dollar savings seem
futile. Cold temperatures are a key component
of keeping berries fresh, which is why berries
purchased from a refrigerated case tend to last
longer than those from a pick-your-own farm
or a fruit stand. Keeping your berries free
of excess moisture is another important factor in
preventing spoilage.
This is where you need to answer a key
question. Whats your plan for those berries?
If you dont need them for a few days,
refrigerate unwashed berries between
32F and 34F in the container you
purchased them in, then follow
our washing instructions just before using them. However, if you
want your berries available as a
within-reach snack for whomever
JULY/AUGUST 2014
opens the fridge, complete our washing steps right

away. Theyll last up to 5 days and will be ready
at a moments notice to top your oatmeal, throw
in a smoothie or pop right into your mouth. If
you want to preserve your berries for a few weeks
or months, follow our instructions all the way
through the freezing steps.
Whether you gobble up your fresh berries
right away or stretch them out for months, the
health benefits of having berries on hand are
long lasting. All berries are hydrating and a
great source of natural fiber, plus they contain
pigments that have antioxidant effects. Numerous
studies show that people who consume berries
on a regular basis have a lower incidence of heart
disease and cancer. So stock up now, and then
handle with care.

How to Clean & Freeze Fresh Berries:

2
Sort through berries and discard any that

are soft, shriveled or rotten. Use a paring
knife to remove hulls from strawberries.
Spread berries out on kitchen towels and

let air dry; large strawberries may need to
be patted dry to remove excess water.
Berries must be completely dry before
refrigerating or freezing, as excess water
will accelerate spoilage.
Transfer frozen berries to freezer-safe ziptop bags. Seal and store in freezer
for up to 6 months.
Clean Eating
Drain berries in a colander and rinse well

under cool water.
The berries are now ready to refrigerate

or freeze. Berries will stay fresh in the
refrigerator for 3 to 5 days if stored in
a loosely covered paper towellined
container.
Before placing in freezer bags, berries must

be frozen separately to prevent them from
sticking together. Spread berries in a single
layer on a large rimmed baking sheet.
Transfer to freezer for 4 to 6 hours.
TIP: Theres no need to wash them again

before snacking!
TIP: If you prefer sliced frozen strawberries,

slice them before step 6 and place slices on
the baking sheet to freeze.
32
Place berries in a large bowl and fill

bowl with a solution of 3 parts water to
1-part distilled white vinegar. Let sit for
1 minute, then gently swish berries around
to remove dirt.
JULY/AUGUST 2014
To thaw, transfer desired amount of frozen

berries to a dish and refrigerate for 3 hours.
For faster thawing, transfer to a colander
and run under cool water.
TIP: Store whole strawberries in separate

bags from smaller berries, as the weight of
the strawberries can crush smaller, more
tender berries.

least 24 hours before using,
and ensure your ice cream
or sorbet mixture is chilled
before adding to the unit.
Cold food slightly numbs
your taste buds, making
the flavors duller. To
counteract this, flavor
your frozen treats a little
stronger than to taste.

Clean Eating
amburgers are one of the most

quintessentially American
foods I can think of. But a
classic burger, no matter how delicious,
is something you've seen before. In fact,
we've featured a variety of different burger recipes in Clean Eating over the years.
So, to make it a worthwhile addition to
this column, I wanted to add a twist you
may not have tried without straying from
the theme of American favorites. The answer turned out to be another classic that
complements a juicy burger like nothing
else: Thousand Island dressing.
Before I begin the process of making
over a recipe, I like to look at a textbook
version. To my surprise, it was difficult to
find a true from-scratch rendering of
Thousand Island dressing. Most versions
relied on store-bought ketchup, which is
great for a quick recipe, but not technically made from scratch. I already
knew that the basic concept behind this
dressing is combining a rich, creamy base
with the vinegary tang of ketchup. With
that as my starting point, I went to work.
A thousand problems
Of the all the condiments that healthconscious clean eaters want to avoid,
Thousand Island dressing just might top
the list. It contains generous amounts
of salt and sugar, not to mention that
another popular ingredient, sweet pickle
JULY/AUGUST 2014
relish, is generally soaked in high-fructose corn syrup.

That's the bad news. The good news
is that you probably already have most of
the ingredients for my updated version in
your kitchen right now. My all-time favorite ingredient for sauces and dressings
is plain yogurt. It never fails to add the
richness and mouth feel that our palates
anticipate when we're about to experience creamy foods. Since commercial
ketchup isn't exactly a health hero, I used
tomato paste, vinegar and a bit of raw
honey to stand in for the red stuff.
Since I feel that a proper Thousand
Island dressing is incomplete without
pickles, I opted for kosher dills, which
contain no added sugar. You'll have to
chop them yourself, but it's well worth
the minute of effort.
It's not ALL about the dressing

A juicy, satisfying burger that could stand
up to the creamy dressing was a must. I
chose lean ground turkey for its mild flavor that wouldn't overwhelm the toppers.
I opted for Provolone cheese (no way
was I going to skip the cheese!) for its
full flavor. As the final crowning glory,
I added one of the best flavor-enhancers
I know of: sweet, sticky caramelized
onions. When all these components come
together, you have a positively mouthwatering all-American burger.
Classic
Condiments
There's no doubt our
Thousand Island dressing is
a delicious twist on the great
American burger, but we
haven't abandoned options
for all the traditionalists
out there! If your ultimate
classic requires ketchup,
mustard and perhaps one
or two other tried-and-true
toppers, we've got you covered. Here are our all-time
favorite options that taste
great and that dont have a
laundry list of additives and
preservatives.

Seaweed
FUNCTIONS: Anti-inflammatory, weight management,

cancer risk reduction and healthy thyroid function
HOW IT WORKS: Long gone are the days when seaweed
was a just a beach-time bother. Today, studies show that the
fiber in the edible algae can help curb obesity while its iodine
can help maintain a healthy thyroid, spurring the sales of
everything from seaweed chips and powders to dried seaweed
salads and kelp sea seasonings. Meanwhile, a 2013 University
of Florida study indicated that sea lettuce may be able to fend
off prostate cancer and inflammatory diseases thanks to its
antioxidant-rich compounds.
TRY IT: Further studies

are needed on seaweed
dosages for reducing cancer
risk, but adding a serving
or two of seaweed to your
daily diet can help increase
fiber, minerals and vitamins
without adding excess
amounts of iodine.

Strawberries
FUNCTION: Stroke risk management
HOW THEY WORK: Perhaps the only thing sweeter

than a peak-of-summer strawberry is the news that the
red fruits high levels of vitamin C can help reduce your
risk of stroke specifically, blood vessel ruptures inside
the brain as French researchers announced at the 2014
meeting of the American Academy of Neurology. Their
findings werent just limited to strawberries, though
the study also found that other forms of vitamin C,
such as citrus fruits, peppers and broccoli, can also help
ward off your stroke risk.

FUNCTIONS: Skin health,

energy and digestive health
HOW IT WORKS: With oceans
making up 71% of the earths surface,
they must be doing some good, right?
In more ways than one: Research
shows that swimming in saltwater
can soothe skin rashes, thanks to a
protective barrier it creates. In one
study from the Journal of Investigative
Dermatology, researchers found that
bathing in Dead Sea salt with
5% magnesium chloride can increase
skin hydration while decreasing
inflammation. Other studies have
shown that Epsom salts made
with magnesium and sulfate
may help reduce bloating and
improve digestion.
TRY IT: If you cant get to the seaside,
look for bath salts containing Dead Sea
salt or magnesium chloride. Or you can
soak in 2 to 3 cups of Epsom salts for
10 to 12 minutes next time you want a
relaxing bath.

Fish oils
FUNCTION: Brain Power
TRY THEM: Spend the summer

eating oily fish such as sardines,
herring, tuna and salmon, at least
twice a week. And skip the deepfried stuff sold at seaside stands.
If youre supplementing, study
researchers recommend taking two
fish oil capsules per day that contain
between 500 to 1,000 milligrams of
both eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA)
and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA).
HOW THEY WORK: The

skinny on fatty fish? They may
help protect your brain cells,
reveal researchers in a January
2014 Neurology study. The
study found that the omega-3
fatty acids found in fish oils are
associated with higher brain
volumes, indicating that the
nutrient may help slow down
the loss of brain cells.
Black
raspberries
5
FUNCTION: Cancer risk

reduction
HOW THEY WORK: Black
raspberry may pale next to
vanilla when it comes to North
Americans favorite flavors
of ice cream (vanilla still tops
chocolate and butter pecan,
according to the International
Ice Cream Association), but
its the berry and not the bean
that may slow the rate of
cancer. In a 2009 study, Ohio
State University researchers
found that the combination
of vitamins, minerals, phenols
and phytosterols in freezedried black raspberries
altered cancer-related genes in
animal studies and helped to
restore normal activity in the
animals' genes.
TRY THEM: While further
human studies are needed, try
freeze-dried black raspberries
in their natural form or in
capsules or powders, which
concentrate the anticancer mix
of preventative agents by about
10 times, reported the studys
scientists.
Sunshine FUNCTION: Mental health
HOW IT WORKS: One more reason to get your daily dose of vitamin D:
It may boost your brainpower, slow the rate of multiple sclerosis (MS) and
reduce harmful neurologic activity. An international team of researchers
led by Alberto Ascherio, MD, from the Harvard School of Public Health,
wrote in the March 2014 edition of JAMA Neurology that people with
MS symptoms and low vitamin D levels of less than 50 nanomoles per
liter are more likely to develop brain lesions and deteriorate faster than
people with higher vitamin D levels. People with Parkinsons disease and
high vitamin D levels are also sharper and happier than those with low
levels, according to a December 2013 report published in the Journal of
Parkinsons Disease.
TRY IT: Taking in 10 to 15 minutes of sunshine three times per week is enough
to produce what your body needs for vitamin D, says the National Institutes of
Health. If youre using supplements, take at least 400 international units (IU)
daily, the amount used to help prevent MS and also the baseline amount to
help thwart other diseases such as osteoporosis.
Sand
FUNCTIONS: Exfoliation and fitness
HOW IT WORKS: You already know that the exfoliating particles in sand can help scrub away dirt
and dead skin cells just witness the array of products containing the stuff on beauty-store shelves.
Researchers from the University of Porto in Portugal and GeoBioTec University of Aveiro have even
proven that biogenic carbonate sand can make us look more youthful and renewed. And recently,
a December 2013 study in The Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research revealed that running
on sand can help make you faster and more fit.
TRY IT: Next time youre at the beach, do six sprints of 20 meters each and gently exfoliate your skin
with sand from the ocean floor the next time you go for a dip.

How to Buy and Cook Lobster
The quickest, though most expensive way, to purchase lobster is to buy the
vacuum-packed cooked, shelled and chilled meat (if using frozen, defrost overnight
in the refrigerator). But buying lobster in the shell isnt difficult once you know what
youre doing. Here, we give you the rundown on cooking your own live lobster,
buying cooked whole lobster and buying and cooking lobster tails.
HOW TO BOIL LIVE LOBSTER
The yield on a lobster is relatively small when

purchased live in the shell. You will get about
20 to 25% meat by weight for each lobster.
To get 1 to 1 pounds of cooked lobster
meat, you will need about 4 to 6 pounds of
live lobster.
LIVE LOBSTER
YIELDS 1 TO 1 LB LOBSTER MEAT.
INGREDIENTS:
Sea salt
4 live lobsters, about 1 lb each
INSTRUCTIONS:
ONE: Fill a 16-qt stockpot three-quarters full
of water and add 1 to 2 tbsp sea salt per liter
of water added. (NOTE: Water should taste
as salty as sea water.) Bring to a full rolling
boil on high.
TWO: Carefully grasp 1 lobster by the back
and plunge headfirst into water. Repeat with
a second lobster. Cover and return to a boil.
(NOTE: You will need to cook in batches,
unless you have a larger pot. A 16-qt pot can
hold 2 lobsters at a time.)
THREE: Once water returns to a boil, start
your timer. Reduce heat to medium-high
and cook lobster for 10 minutes for the first
pound and 1 minute for each additional
4 oz after that, about 12 minutes for a 1-lb
lobster. When the lobster turns bright red
and a leg can be pulled away easily when
twisted, the lobster is done. Repeat with
remaining lobster, allowing water to come
to a boil in between each addition of lobster.
Allow lobster to cool for about 10 minutes,
until cool enough to handle.
HOW TO BUY COOKED WHOLE LOBSTER

For step-by-step
instructions on how to
extract lobster meat
from the shell, check out
our guide on page 56.
Look for cooked lobster with no fishy odor.

The tail should be curled and firm (if tail is
straight and floppy, the lobster was not alive
before cooking; do not buy). You may also ask
your fishmonger to steam the lobster for you.
Refrigerate if not using immediately, then

crack when ready to use.
HOW TO BUY LOBSTER TAILS
There are two types of lobster: cold- and

warm-water lobster. Cold-water lobsters are
commonly found off the coasts of Maine,
Australia, New Zealand and South Africa
while warm-water lobsters are mainly from
Florida, the Caribbean and Latin America.
Cold-water lobster is more tender and has
brighter meat and a cleaner flavor. While
warm-water lobster tails tend to be cheaper,
there is also a higher chance of them going
bad signs of this are a mushy tail after
theyve been cooked or an odor of ammonia.
If you notice any of these signs, do not eat
the tails.
Before purchasing, look at the cut end of
the tail for discoloration in the flesh as black
spots indicate improper handling. And, if the
tail has a grayish color or any yellowing in
the meat, do not buy it. Your fishmonger is a
great resource to help identify these signs.
HOW TO BOIL LOBSTER TAILS
Tails are most often sold frozen, so be sure to

defrost for 8 to 10 hours in the fridge or defrost
under cold water for 30 minutes to 1 hour,
changing the water every 15 minutes or so. Fill
a 4-quart saucepan with water and add 4 6- to
8-ounce tails. Boil lobster tails for about 6 to
8 minutes until meat is firm, opaque and shells
are bright red (about 1 minute for every ounce),
then allow to cool slightly and remove shell
from tails as instructed in our step-by-step
guide on page 56.
HOW TO GRILL LOBSTER TAILS
Preheat greased grill to medium-high.

Defrost tails, as described above, and cut in
half lengthwise through the shell to expose
meat. Mist tail meat with olive oil cooking
spray and grill for about 5 minutes per side
until meat is firm, opaque and shells are
bright red. Allow to cool slightly, then lift
the meat from the shell.

A Step-by-Step Guide to Extracting Lobster Meat:

2
EQUIPMENT: You'll need a chopstick or thin skewer, lobster

cracker, kitchen shears, cutting board and rolling pin.
Separate claws from knuckles by twisting.
Clean Eating
Gently crack the pincher away from the claw and pull away.
Using a lobster cracker, crack the claws.
56
Remove rubber bands from claws. Twist to remove knuckles and

claws away from the body in 1 piece.
JULY/AUGUST 2014
Remove meat from claws. Next, use kicthen shears to cut open
shells of knuckles and remove meat.
To eat or not to eat?
The green tomalley, or liver, is considered a

delicacy. However, it tends to have a higher
level of toxins that may cause
illness if consumed in high amounts.
Ultimately, whether to eat it or not is
a personal preference.
Separate the tail from the body by twisting it off. Looking

inside the body, you may see two things, the green tomalley
(liver) that may be eaten or discarded. If you have a female
lobster, you may see bright red roe, or lobster eggs (if its
black its not cooked; it must be steamed until red).
Grasp the tail and bend the flippers back until they snap;
they can be removed or left attached.
10
Using kitchen shears, cut through the underside of the shell.
Pull tail meat out, prying apart shell as necessary. (Or, if

you've removed the flippers, use a chopstick to push meat
out.) On a cutting board, cut along top of lobster tail to pull
out dark brown digestive tract, similar to deveining shrimp.
11
12
Remove meat from the body (optional, works best for lobsters
over 2 pounds in size). Grasp legs and inner section of body
and separate the back of the shell from the legs (rip off the
bottom belly shell and detach it from the top shell). In
larger lobsters, there will be a bit of meat between the
shell and the body.
Break off each leg individually. You can either suck out the
meat, or using a small rolling pin, roll from the foot end of the
leg towards the opening to squeeze out the meat.

TOTAL TIME: 25 MINUTES (PLUS CHILLING TIME).
Serve fruit warm off the grill, or grill them in

advance and serve at room temperature.
INGREDIENTS:
whisk egg yolks with remaining 1 tbsp cane juice. Once milk
is warmed, very slowly pour milk mixture into egg mixture in
a very thin stream, whisking constantly. Stir mixture back into
saucepan and return to medium heat, stirring constantly with
a wooden spoon or spatula until steaming and thick enough
to coat the back of a spoon, about 8 to 10 minutes.
TWO: Strain mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a bowl. Using a knife, scrape any remaining vanilla out of pod and stir into
crme anglaise, discarding pod. Place plastic wrap directly on
surface and refrigerate until cold, at least 1 hour or up to 3 days.

a whole vanilla bean, substitute with 2 tsp
pure vanilla extract.)
2 tbsp organic evaporated cane juice, divided
2 large egg yolks
2 peaches, halved and pitted
2 nectarines, halved and pitted
THREE: Preheat a grill to medium-high and brush grates with

oil. Add peaches, nectarines and plums to grill, cut side down,
and grill for 3 to 4 minutes, until warm and lightly charred. Flip
and grill for about 2 minutes more. Transfer to a cutting board.
When cool enough to handle, cut each half lengthwise into
2 pieces. Drizzle crme anglaise over each serving plate and
divide peaches, nectarines and plums over top. Garnish evenly

Eggplant
Roti
What do you get when you mix East Indian

curried eggplant vindaloo with West Indian
roti? You get the ultimate, flavor-packed curry
with the convenience of a wrap. We prefer
madras-style curry powder here, though any
curry powder you have on hand will work.
If you like more heat, try adding a pinch of
cayenne along with the curry powder.
INGREDIENTS:
2 tsp safflower oil
1 small yellow onion, thinly sliced
4 Indian eggplants, cubed
(NOTE: Any type of eggplant can work

here; you will need 1 cups cubed.)
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tsp peeled and grated ginger
1 tsp garam masala
1 tsp madras curry powder
2 plum tomatoes, chopped
2 whole-wheat roti or whole-wheat

4 minutes, stirring frequently, until onion is
softened. Add eggplant and cook, stirring
frequently, until eggplant is browned on all
sides, about 5 minutes. Add garlic, ginger,
garam masala and curry powder and cook,
stirring frequently until fragrant, about
45 seconds. Add tomatoes and cook until

If youre a French toast lover, this is the

sandwich for you. Sweet and velvety maple
cream cheese spread, poached egg and
crisp turkey bacon are sandwiched between
2 slices of savory French toast. This is the
ultimate meal for any time of day.
INGREDIENTS:
3 large eggs, divided
2 large egg whites
cup milk
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
4 slices whole-grain bread
2 1-oz slices turkey bacon, no added
nitrates or nitrites (TRY: Applegate

Organic Turkey Bacon)
2 tbsp cream cheese, room
temperature
1 tbsp pure maple syrup
1 tsp white vinegar
INSTRUCTIONS:
ONE: In a large bowl, combine 1 whole
egg, egg whites, milk and vanilla. Mist a
large skillet with cooking spray and heat
on medium-high. Dip bread slices into egg
mixture, turning to coat. Add to skillet, in
batches if necessary, and cook for about
4 minutes, turning once, until golden
brown. Transfer to a plate and cover to
keep warm. Wipe out skillet, mist again
with cooking spray and return to
medium-high heat. Add bacon and cook,
flipping once, until crispy, about 5 to
6 minutes. Transfer to a plate and cover
to keep warm.
TWO: In a small bowl, beat together cream

cheese and maple syrup with a spoon.
Spread cheese mixture on 2 of bread slices,
dividing evenly, and top with bacon.
THREE: Fill a medium pot with 3 inches
water and heat on medium. Add vinegar
and bring to a gentle simmer. Crack
remaining 2 whole eggs into 2 small bowls.
(TIP: To help with poaching, you can place
the uncracked egg into simmering water
for 10 seconds and then crack it into a small
bowl. This gives the whites a head start
and helps them coagulate better when
poaching.) Swirl water vigorously with a
wooden spoon and slip eggs into water.
Poach eggs until whites are set but yolks
are still runny, about 4 minutes. Remove
from water with a slotted spoon and drain
off all water. Place eggs over top of bacon,
then top with remaining slices of bread.

Even on first
impression,
Massoud s
food presents a
dizzying
array of flavors
and textures
merging with
seemingly
little effort.
Health & Happiness

Chef Philippe Massoud finds joy and wellness through eating well.
BY PETER AGOSTINELLI, LIFESTYLE PHOTOS COURTESY OF ILILI RESTAURANT
hen meeting Philippe Massoud, ones first impressions might include

a thoughtful restaurateur and culinary professional with intensity.
The chef brims with energy and ideas as he talks about Mediterranean
foods, health and personal nutrition.
Pride in his family roots is also clear. A native of Lebanon, Massoud is at once
a champion of the cooking traditions of the Eastern Mediterranean and a modern
chef working to blend the past with the present.
Recent years have marked a critical change for Massoud, the chef and
co-owner of ilili Restaurant, a New York City destination in the Flatiron District
that serves the authentic flavors of Lebanon and the Mediterranean region. He
also oversees ilili box, a casual new extension in nearby Madison Square Park
that offers takeaway street foods.
A recent evolution in his health emerges while Massoud discusses his family,
the restaurants and their places on Manhattans teeming food stage. Far more
than a chef focused on the already enormous task of piloting a growing restaurant
enterprise, he talks openly about his personal transformation and his potential role
in advocating for basic nutrition.
Among other changes, Massoud began revamping his meal plans several years
ago to streamline his consumption of foods that seemed to trigger a number of
nagging health issues. He began analyzing the ways in which he combined specific
foods and food groups in his meal plans. He also began to incorporate a daily
juicing routine.
84
Clean Eating
JULY/AUGUST 2014
Overall the effort has been a major

step, Massoud says, in confronting lingering sleep issues, chronic fatigue and
what he now believes were the early
stages of an autoimmune disorder. Initially, he followed an elimination diet
to identify his problem foods, which
included certain nightshade vegetables
such as eggplant and tomatoes plus
Chef Philippe

believes in a
deliciously
holistic approach to
eating clean.
wheat and other ingredients that are high

in gluten. The findings prompted him to
decrease his intake of those foods as well
as change the ways in which he combined
foods in meals. In addition, he reduced his
caffeine intake significantly.
The results have been

extraordinary
It was the lightbulb moment of a lifetime, Massoud says. Over time, I have
really been able to eat almost anything
without issues. The trick at the end of the
day for me (with foods) is the frequency
of ingestion and their combination. For
example, if youre eating a lot of fermented
foods lets say youre eating Parmesan, a
piece of prosciutto and some eggplant and
a glass of red wine all of a sudden youve
kind of set up your body for failure. I call
it 'the reservoir of healthy eating,' and
once youve gone above a certain level, you
can reach a state where your body starts
fighting itself instead of rejuvenating.
I live as a total and absolute vegan
but with no nightshades four days per
week, and the rest of the week I eat whatever I want, Massoud adds. Thats how
I can work 80 hours a week and not drink
coffee and feel like Superman.
Fresh and light
The foods at
ilili are often
best shared in
small or large
groups.
Along with supplying him with new energy, the dietary regimen is helping Massoud sleep better and fend off the chronic
fatigue and inflammation. It also fills
him with a renewed joy in discussing his
food at ilili and ilili box, which reopened
this spring after debuting last year for an
initial test run.
Whether its an elaborate spread of
mezza (small plates) inside ililis pulsing
5th Avenue dining room or a take-out
meal at ilili box, Massouds food marries fresh, bright flavors and lightness
naturally. A meal can begin simply with
warm pita and labne, a strained yogurt
with olive oil, fresh mint and Zaatar, plus
chickpea hummus and moujadara, a green
lentil pure with crispy red onion.
Classic fattoush, the traditional
Lebanese salad, gets an update at ilili with
nutrient-dense kale. Massoud says other
nourishing greens such as mche, purslane
and arugula can be substituted or simply incorporated if desired. (TIP: Look for these greens, considered weeds by some,
at local farmers markets and in the produce section of natural
foods stores.) His updated fattoush is bolstered with peppers,
radishes, tomatoes and toasted pita cubes plus a light dressing of
extra-virgin olive oil, sumac, pomegranate and molasses.
Another noteworthy ilili dish is a comforting eggplant
moussaka, in which eggplant is oven-roasted rather than fried
in copious amounts of oil per the traditional Lebanese method.
The result is an eggplant dish that retains lightness and nutrient

Larger main courses at ilili are as beautiful as they are
delicious. Dishes have included striped bass scented with aleppo
pepper and accented with pumpkin chutney and a smoked
almond braising liquid. Lamb chops are seared with a Zaatar
salsa verde and lamb kebabs are paired with roasted fennel and
makdous, which are traditional tangy oil-cured eggplants.
Options at ilili box vary, and theyre just as easy to eat
walking away as sitting on a park bench. Brussels sprouts, duck
shawarma, Korean-style falafel and a lamb pastrami sandwich
are among the takeaway options diners could order again this
spring when the seasonal stand reopened for the year. The menu
at ilili box also serves green lemonade, a refreshing cold drink
that gets a lift from juiced cucumber, ginger and mint.
An ancient heritage
Even on first impression, Massouds food presents a dizzying
array of flavors and textures merging with seemingly little effort. Simplicity in each dish can surprise with each bite. Herbs
and spices that may seem exotic to Western palates are as
accessible as they are mysterious.
While its all backed by years of culinary sweat equity,
Massouds secret weapon is likely his heritage of food and hospitality. His family once owned and operated a hotel in Beirut,
plus his ancestral village in Lebanon (continued on page 86)

TIPS FROM THE CHEF

Chef Philippe Massoud is a big believer in better health through
a lifestyle of natural whole foods. Try some of his favorite
ingredients for boosting flavor while increasing the nutritional
quality of your home cooking.
TIP: Eggplant is a species of nightshade known

for its nourishing versatility in meatless dishes
such as this moussaka as well as ratatouille.
Lebanese-style
Moussaka
SERVES 6.
TOTAL TIME: 1 HOUR, 15 MINUTES.
Chef Philippe Massoud cleaned up

this traditionally meatless Lebanesestyle moussaka by roasting the eggplant rather than frying it, drastically
reducing the oil content. The result is
a lighter dish that still has big flavor.
Serve over brown rice and sprinkle
with fresh parsley.
INGREDIENTS:
2 lb eggplant, trimmed, peeled
and cut into 1-inch cubes
Explore the world of weeds, or wild greens that are often

still gathered in the wild or cultivated. Massoud enjoys using mche, purslane and dandelion greens as substitutions
for spinach, watercress and other greens.
cup olive oil, divided
The high nutrient density and versatility of certain greens

make them perfect for clean eating. Purslane can be
incorporated raw into green salads, cooked in sauts, used
in stuffings or added to pures. Massoud says 100 grams of
purslane yields significant daily values of vitamins A and C,
iron and omega-3 fatty acids.
lb Roma tomatoes, cored and

roughly chopped, or 1 14.5-oz
BPA-free can diced tomatoes
Explore new spices and herbs you may have never heard
of. For example, the flavors found in Zaatar, a traditional
Middle Eastern spice blend, can lift or intensify many
dishes. Zaatar is a blend of herbs (often sumac, oregano
and thyme) with sesame and salt. Massoud pairs it with
seared lamb chops and a green salsa.

(continued from page 85) is revered for its long line

of great cooks.
That lineage includes hospitality and food professionals, most notably Massouds late father and
grandfather. His uncle and cousin produce organic
olive oil in Spain. Another uncle closer to New York
City produces wines on Long Island. Other relatives
make their own arak, a traditional anise-infused
spirit, and press their own olive oil.
Massouds home village in Lebanon has supplied
the world with many professionals in the food
business, from grocers and butchers to cooks and
pastry chefs. Pretty much the whole village went
into food because they saw my grandfather succeed,
Massoud recalls. So, in essence, if you go today
to that village in Lebanon, everybody will say, Oh,
youre from that village. No wonder you can cook.
My grandfather and his kids, including my
father, were all foodies, Massoud adds. He
made his own wine, he made his own sausage
he made his own winter preserves by making pickles
and drying meats. The entire family grew up with
that, and when I speak to my aunts and my uncles,
they tell me how they would sit down and pick lentils
and spend hours and hours making their own pickles
to prepare their preserves for the winter. I grew up
in all of that.
And now that he has claimed a clearer sense of
well-being, Massoud appears to be armed with the
energy and inspiration to continue that heritage in
New York and beyond.

Making kalbi at home

Making kalbi is as easy as mixing up
a simple marinade and allowing the
meat to rest in it before cooking. In
a restaurant, there might be a grill in
the center of your table and youd cook
the meat yourself. But at home, you
can use a regular grill, a stove-top grill
or even a skillet.
When shopping for short ribs,
youll find Korean- (or flanken-style)
JULY/AUGUST 2014
and English-style. Korean-style ribs

are cut crosswise, so each strip of meat
includes a few cross-sections of rib
bones, while English-style ribs are cut
individually, each with a hunk of meat
(for kalbi, the meat is butterflied).
Although either type will work,
I prefer the Korean-style, simply because the ribs are easier to move
around the grill.
Making kalbi clean

Although youll see many marinade
variations, key ingredients include soy
sauce, garlic, sesame oil, scallions and
a sweetener. The sweetener might be
brown sugar, pured fruit (often Asian
pear), fruit juice, rice wine or a combination. Other ingredients might include black pepper, red pepper flakes,
ginger, onion and rice wine vinegar.
My marinade uses Clean Eating
approved Sucanat as the sweetener.
Its purposefully very basic, so that
you can experiment and make kalbi
your own.
For serving this meal, I like to
go easy on the (sometimes fatty) meat
and heavy on lettuce and rice. For
added nutrients, I substitute brown
rice for traditional white.
Your home should be rampant
with its sesame-umami scent. Dig in!
Typically, a Korean
meal includes banchan (or side dishes)
at least two or three
but up to a dozen.
Some are simple
while others are more
elaborate. Whether
they are fermented,
pickled or fried, these
side dishes are meant
as an accompaniment to balance
out the tastes and
textures in a meal.
The most well-known
is kimchi, which
comes in many
variations. Here are
several banchan to
experiment with:
Kimchi
Scallion pancake
Pickled radishes,
cucumbers or other
vegetables
Pickled garlic
Pickled or candied
lotus root
Spinach salad
Mung bean
sprout salad
Perilla leaves,
also known as

rom kimchi, the fermented

cabbage dish, to bibimbap,
a mixture of beef and vegetables over rice, the world
seems to be going crazy for Korean
food these days.
One dish thats fueling the fire is
kalbi Korean barbecued beef short
ribs which many consider to be Koreas signature dish.
Like bulgogi, another popular
Korean dish, kalbi is marinated beef
thats grilled and often served as a sort
of taco in a lettuce leaf with rice and
a dab of chile bean paste. And like
many Korean dishes, kalbi is typically
served with a variety of side dishes,
collectively known as banchan (see the
sidebar for more on banchan).
But really, no matter how you
serve this dish, its amazing.

12 lettuce leaves (TIP: Opt for red leaf,

green leaf, Bibb or Boston.)

TOTAL TIME: 30 MINUTES (PLUS
MARINATING TIME).
Chile bean paste or other Asian hot

sauce, optional
Also known as kalbi, this dish uses familiar

ingredients in a typically Korean combination.
The result is exotic and amazingly flavorful.
INGREDIENTS:
4 cloves garlic, minced
cup chopped scallions, divided
1/3 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
2 tbsp toasted sesame oil
2 tbsp Sucanat
1 lb Korean beef short ribs
(aka flanken-style), about -inch thick
2 cups cooked short-grain brown rice
NOTE: Korean- or flanken-style beef short

ribs are cut across the bones, so that each
strip of meat has a few cross-sections of
bone. English-style beef short ribs are cut
with the bones, so that each rib is about
4 inches long and has a hunk of meat
attached. If you can only find English-style
ribs, ask your butcher to butterfly them for
you, so that the meat unfolds into 1 long
-inch-thick piece.
INSTRUCTIONS:
ONE: In a small bowl, combine garlic,
6 tbsp scallions, soy sauce, sesame oil and
Sucanat, whisking to dissolve Sucanat.
Transfer mixture to a large, resealable bag

along with beef. Transfer to refrigerator to
marinate for at least 1 hour or overnight,
turning occasionally.
TWO: Heat a grill to medium-high and
brush grates with cooking oil. Remove
beef from marinade, discarding remaining
marinade, and add to grill. Grill until just
done, 2 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a
platter and sprinkle with remaining 2 tbsp
scallions. Serve lettuce, rice and chile bean
paste (if using) on the side for guests to
make their own ssams, or lettuce wraps,
at the table.

KICK IT UP A NOTCH
WITH
It's Summer
GET ME OUT OF THE KITCHEN!
Here are my top tips for maximizing summer playtime and

getting fresh, nutrient-dense meals on the table in a flash.
After the winter weve just experienced, I predict most of us will want to run out of
our kitchens and never return. I have the urge to park a brightly striped lawn chair
in my vegetable patch, whip my trusty Swiss Army knife out of my apron and settle
down in the summer sun to enjoy whatever is at hand in my garden. I will enjoy it
raw, free, fresh and at its nutritional peak.
This may sound like a fantasy, but I have put that idea to the test and do it every
summer when the pool opens. Summer weekends are not meant to be spent indoors,
fussing over complicated meals in front of a hot stove. But still the clock says, Dinner! and you must prepare something. Everyone is sipping gin and tonics on the
deck and there you are but oh no, youre not there because, yep, youre slaving
away in the kitchen.
This summer, because we want to exact revenge on Old Man Winter, lets keep
meals and food prep simple and get you out of the kitchen. I have worked out some
strategies for soaking up the sun while still serving up summer goodness. These
simple ideas will ensure you wont miss out on any of the fun.
When gardens and produce aisles are

brimming with summers bounty, eat
everything you can, raw. From raw
asparagus to raw zucchini, you can eat
your way through the entire alphabet
of produce without having to cook!
When foods are in season, as berries
are in the summer and apples are in
the fall, they are at their nutritional
peak so you get the maximum amount
of vitamins, minerals and other plant
goodies. This keeps you satisfied,

healthy and lean. The added bonus is
that seasonal produce is always cheaper.
CAPRESE SALAD WITH

GOAT CHEESE
Try this simple recipe when tomatoes are in
season: Slice a variety of fat, ripe tomatoes
and arrange on a platter alternating with
slices of goat cheese. Pick fresh basil leaves
and scatter over top. Dust with freshly
grated black pepper, unrefined sea salt and

drizzle with gorgeous extra-virgin olive

oil. This is an example of a raw meal that
anyone can make and its also an example
of one of my favorite ways to not cook
by making meals you simply assemble.
MARINATE MORE
Not only does marinating meat impart
delightful flavors but it also helps reduce
Dont forget your vegetables. Slice zucchini into ribbons and place on the grill
in a grill pan, giving them a hot three
minutes on either side. Get adventurous
with all produce. Most of it can take the
heat, responding nicely to a few minutes
on the barbecue. All you need is a bit of
salt and pepper and a healthy drizzle of
aromatic green grass olive oil and din-

cooking time. This is accomplished
by hardworking acids often found in
marinade recipes. I often use citrus
fruits, especially limes and lemons,
or I use vinegars for this purpose.
Lately I am enjoying coconut vinegar,
which interestingly doesnt taste like
coconut at all but has a unique, almost
caramel flavor. The best part about this
food is that it is raw and loaded with
enzymes, amino acids, minerals and
vitamins. Combine it with a hardworking healthy oil such as olive or rice bran,
add some seasonings and youll have an
amazing marinade. In fact, one of my
favorite ingredients to add to marinades
is espresso powder. Toss your meat of
choice into the mixture and let it stand,
then refrigerate overnight until you're
ready to grill.
GRILL IT ALL
Summer is the time to cook and dine
alfresco. Hardy Canadians are known
to grill in the dead of a blizzard, so
keen are they to remind themselves of
summer days. Remember that meat we
marinated? Pull it out of the liquid and
toss it onto your grill. Most meat doesnt
need much time in the heat, but an easy
way to gauge doneness is to use The
Squeeze Test, although the use of a
meat thermometer is always the safest
method. (Check out Resident Chef Jo
Lusted explain The Squeeze Test at
cleaneatingmag.com/julyaugust-2014.)
ners ready. Try grilling peaches, apricots

and other summer fruits too. The flavor
is unbeatable and cant be replicated
when the blizzards of winter return, so
take advantage while you can!
MAKE EXTRA
I often cook in bulk and this is especially
true of ingredients such as quinoa or
millet and other pseudo-grains. Instead
of making one cup of quinoa, Ill make
three (one of my favorites is organic quinoa from Bobs Red Mill). Half of it can
be reserved for use in blander recipes or
for making quinoa cakes, and the other
half can be turned into a mighty tasty
salad. My favorite quinoa recipe for
summer is Quintessential Quinoa from
The Eat-Clean Diet (Robert Kennedy
Publishing, 2007). Quinoa cooks like a
dream and doesn't burn easily. It fluffs
up nicely and takes on other flavors
beautifully. If you make it the night
before, the flavors become so richly developed by the time you serve it the next
day that youll wish you made more.
SALADS, SALADS, SALADS!

Summer is the season for salads, and
even folks who dont love salads can
overcome their pickiness in summer
because everything tastes so darn good.
Experiment with various leafy greens
(see the June issue of Clean Eating for
my ideas about what kinds of greens to
grow and eat) and become impressed
with the seemingly endless variety of

leaves one can eat. Become an artist
with your salads. Add the petals of edible flowers as well as nuts, seeds, salad
vegetables such as cucumbers or zucchini, figs and the kitchen sink. Your
salad bowl is your canvas.
NO-COOK SOUPS
If you are the lucky owner of a Vitamix
or another high-powered blender, you
must make cold soups for summer.
Cold implies no cooking. That means
more time for cocktails or mocktails by
the pool. You can go wild in the cold
soup department by tossing raw vegetables, leaves, herbs and onions and
garlic into the blender. Think about
making a green soup layered with the
vibrant greens of asparagus, crisp baby
peas, parsley and chives, and make it
creamy with avocado. Conjure up a
crimson-colored soup with sweet summer tomatoes, delicate new onions and
nothing more its a beautiful thing
with crusty bread.
I hope you are getting the idea
that with a little ingenuity and a lot of
Mother Natures bounty the kitchen
does not need to be your only cooking
destination. Let your creative juices
flow and whip up your own version
of Gazpacho, Tuna Nioise Salad
or Raw Lasagna. With so much to
choose from, your daily meal frazzle
will turn to joy!
