Re: Raw butter without bread -- how?

How about slathering it on cooked veggies? Sweet potatoes, zucchini, broccoli,

etc.? Or Does melting count as " cooking? "

Subject: Raw butter without bread -- how?

I just got a batch of bright yellow butter, and I feel like I'm ripping

myself off whenever I cook with it. Anyone have any good ideas of how to

eat a lot of completely raw butter without using bread or anything else

that doesn't fit into a low-carb diet?

TIA,

What we do with it is put it on steamed vegetables with some celtic sea

salt. We also put a tablespoon or two in our smoothies. Sometimes we make

a candy out of it by letting it soften, adding honey, vanilla, ground nuts

and sometimes carob powder. Then we put spoonfulls of the mixture on cookie

sheet or plate and put it in the fridge to harden. We also make a coconut

milk ice cream that we sometimes add butter to as well.

,

Try it in a smoothie. Melt over low heat and add at the end, that's how I

add coconut oil to my banana & kefir smoothie.

I add pieces of butter to veggie salads. And sometimes I just eat butter

off a spoon.

Here are some butter recipes:

butter candy: 3 parts butter, .5-1 part honey, 2 parts ground nuts, .5-1

tsp vanilla, couple tablespoons of carob (optional)

I came up with the above combination myself, but I have seen similar recipes

posted on the live food list, so you might want to try searching there too.

coconut milk ice cream: 14 oz coconut milk, 3 egg yolks, .25-.5 cups raw,

unsalted butter, .75 cups honey, fruit- usually 1.5 cups or about a 1-1.5

inch cross section of pineapple

Add half of the coconut milk, all the eggs and all the butter to a blender

and blend until smooth (it works better if the butter is soft). With

blender still running, add honey and rest of coconut milk. Then add the

fruit (we use pineapple). Blend well. Put in an ice cream maker! :-) If

you don't have an ice cream maker, I don't know what to tell you.
