Jalapeno Poppers
Ingredients:
• 8 large jalapeno peppers
• 1/4 cup yogurt cheese
• 1 piece of bacon, cooked crisp
and broken into small pieces
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• pinch of salt
• 1 pastured egg, separated
Directions:
1. Roast the jalapenos at 400 de-
grees F (I use a toaster oven) for
about 15-20 minutes or until the
skin is blistered and brown, turn-
ing about half way through. Alter-
natively, you can roast the jalape-
nos on a comal or cast iron skillet
until done. Place the roasted jala-
penos in a dish towel and allow to
rest for about 10 minutes (this will
help with the skin removal).
2. Wearing rubber gloves, remove
the skin. Make a small vertical slit
in the jalapenos, careful not to re-
move the stem, and clean out the
seeds.
3. To make the filling, mix the yo-
gurt cheese, salt and garlic togeth-
er until combined. Add the bacon
pieces.

This recipe can easily be doubled or tripled for a crowd.
NOTE: Instead of an egg you may use 3 tablespoons water sitting for
5 minutes with 1 tablespoon ground chia seeds (use a coffee or spice
grinder).
Forbidden Fry Batter
This exotic batter makes
a flavorful, exceptionally
nutritious, crispy coating;
enough for approximately
2.5 pounds of fish (or
chicken filets). Recipe
makes 2 1/2 cups.
Ingredients:
• 1 cup black rice flour
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon chia seed meal
• 1/4 cup baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup soy milk
• 1/4 cup finely chopped Italian
parsley
• 1/2 cup kombucha vinegar (or mix of half water half apple cider vinegar)
• olive oil or walnut oil for frying
Directions:
1. Grind chia seeds into a fine meal powder using a coffee grinder or spice grinder.
2. Then Sift and mix all dry ingredients together.
3. Add soy milk, vinegar and parsley; mix well.
4. Let sit for 5 minutes before use.
5. Use to coat fish or chicken filets. Cover each filet completely.
6. Shallow fry with lid on pan in olive oil or walnut oil for 5 minutes per side on medium-high heat.
Note: the batter will cook on to a dark blue-black, looking charred, but that is just its natural color, check at
5 minutes to make sure its crispy but not overcooked when you flip it to cook the other side.
