DETOX RECIPE

*good for healthy people and in case of intoxication*

3 quartz (3 liters) water

6 tbsp raisins (organic)

It is easier to cook in a thermos bottle. Throw in the raisins, pour boiling water and wait for 1 hour.

On a stove, pour water over raisins, bring it to boil, cook for 2 minutes, turn off the heat and let it sit covered with lid for 1 hour.

You only drink this water and eat the raisins. Other foods are not allowed. You can do it for one day, three or five days or longer. In case you do a multiple days detox, when you finish it, you start eating vegetables stewed with water and a drop of oil. After one or two days you can eat other foods.

Recipe by a healer Hanna Kroeger.

FILIPINO RICE CAKES

*gluten free, vegan, no oven, quick, soft and fluffy*

These rice cakes are called Puto and are very popular everyday breakfast cakes in Asia. They take 5 minutes to mix the batter and 10 minutes to steam them.

2/3 cup (100 g) rice flour (non glutinous)

3,5 (100 ml) oz coconut milk

2 tbsp oil

2 tbsp sugar

1 tsp Baking powder

1/2 tsp vanilla extract (optional)

Heat a pot with water for steaming.

Mix flour, milk, sugar and baking powder. Add oil. If you want yellow puto, add 1/4 tsp turmeric powder, if you want brown puto, add 1,5 tbsp cocoa powder and 1 more tbsp of sugar. If you use brown sugar, the cakes will be slightly "tanned". You can divide the batter and make some white, some yellow cakes. If you use coconut oil, they will smell like coconut even more.

Be very careful with hot steam. Place a steaming rack in a pot with boiling water, put cupcakes mold on the rack, pour the batter into each mold a little lower than the brim. Cover with lid and steam for 10 minutes. If the water boils intensively in the pot, the cakes will rise and open up like a flower, as in the first picture. If the water boils not intensively, they will rise a little like in the last picture.

The steam may condense under the lid and drop down. If you don't like it, wrap the lid in a cotton kitchen towel.

PLUM DUMPLINGS

*potato dumplings with a sweet plum inside*

4 potatoes

2 eggs

8 tbsp all purpose wheat flour

4 tbsp semolina (you can substitute it with wheat flour)

1 pinch of salt

1 tbsp oil

2 1/2 tbsp butter

1 1/4 cup bread crumbs

sugar as desired

cinnamon powder (optional)

vanilla pod or vanilla sugar

11 sweet plums split into halves, pits removed

Peel potatoes and boil them. When they are well cooked, drain the water and let them cool down. Mash the potatoes, do not use electric devices. Add eggs, a pinch of salt, semolina and flour. Knead quickly until you obtain a soft dough still sticky to your hands. Heat oil in a pan, then add the butter. When the butter has melted completely, add breadcrumbs and brown them, stirring frequently so they do not burn. Add sugar (to taste) and seeds from a vanilla pod. Mix well and cover with lid, because vanilla seeds will develop flavor in breadcrumbs when hot. Meanwhile heat a large pot with water to boil. When the water almost boils, add salt and proceed to shape the dumplings. With hands constantly wet with water split pieces of dough about the size of a plum, flatten them using palms of your hand. On each piece place two halves of plum, close two halves as if it was a whole plum. Pick up the sides of the dough piece, close the dough over plum. Shape the dumplings as balls. Put them on a cutting board, when the water boils, put them in water one by one. Shortly after, the dumplings will float up to the surface. At this point reduce the heat to minimum and cook for 4-7 minutes on low heat. When ready, drain well water dumplings and roll them in breadcrumbs prepared beforehand. Arrange on a plate and serve.

If you don't have vanilla, you can use cinnamon. Mix it with some sugar and add a little bit to the center of each plum half when shaping the dumplings.
