SKILLET CHICKEN WITH APPLES AND POMEGRANATEThis one-pot meal goes from the stovetop, to the oven, to your table. It has a mild sweetness that is sure to please even the most finicky eater, with a fresh, tangy essence from the orange zest (beneficial for the Stomach) and basil. Chicken is a meat that strengthens Kidney yang. The natural sweetness from the apples and pomegranate seeds benefit the Stomach.
BAKED FISH WITH DILLDill is a popular herb that benefits the Liver and Kidney with its tangy essence, and its delicate flavor compliments the mild taste of white fish fillets perfectly. When choosing fish, Master Lu says to make sure to do a sniff test – fresh fish should never smell “fishy,” just clean and slightly briny! Tomato benefits the Heart, while fish (or any kind of seafood) strengthens the Kidneys and is a particularly good food to eat for fertility or while pregnant.
HERBED FISH TACOSThis recipe pairs bright favors of fresh herbs and lemon with delicate, flaky fish. The saltiness of the fish supports your Kidney function, while the lemon benefits your Liver. This recipe is listed in three separate parts: Herbed Fish, Roasted Corn, and Summer Cole Slaw (the latter two recipes can be found in the Vegetables section here. You can make each part separately or combine them into one delicious taco!
CRUNCHY CRAB CAKESThe taste associated with the Kidneys is salt, so any type of seafood from the salty ocean – especially shellfish like crab, shrimp, mussels, or lobster – benefits your Kidney function. The vegetables in these crab cakes also benefit other organ functions– red pepper supports your Heart, and yellow and orange peppers support your Stomach and Spleen. Cooking the crab cakes in grapeseed oil gives your heart health an added boost.
GARDEN FRESH SQUASH AND TOMATO SALAD WITH SESAME SOY VINAIGRETTEZucchini is beneficial for Liver health, and tomatoes help to balance the Stomach and the Heart. Sesame seeds and a dash of sesame oil round off this healthy dish with a boost of support for the Kidneys. Add a little lemon juice of vinegar to strengthen Liver function and a tad of hot sauce and spicy arugula to activate the Lung.
BROCCOLI/BEET SALADMost people like broccoli florets, but here’s something to do with the often less popular stalks. Although there are a number of steps in creating this salad, they are not all that time consuming. Cooking the beets takes the longest and can be done the night before.
LETTUCE SAUTÉ The essence of raw or uncooked foods is cold, which impairs healthy Stomach function. Cooked lettuce is delicious by itself or in soups. In TCM it is known to clear heat, and circulates Qi.
VEGGIE AND EGG SQUARESEggs represent harmony. They contain all the information of life. By mixing eggs with common ingredients found in your refrigerator you will create a nutritious dish and the left overs are equally as good.
ELLASARA’S BROCCOLI RABE STIR-FRY WITH PLUM TOMATO SAUCECombining broccoli rabe, which has a bitter taste, with plum tomatoes (all red foods support the Heart) is a win-win scenario for your Heart function. The Heart has an energetic preference for bitter foods. Broccoli Rabe is also good for the Liver. Enjoy this recipe as a stand-alone dish or serve it over rice or pasta.
