FLU STEW



Flu Stew image

This originates from early fall of 2008 when I had the flu, and had looked up what to eat when you had it. The answers my research came up with were protein, and aromatic vegetables such as garlic and onions. I have made several versions of this stew using whatever meat I have at hand, and it always turns out well. NOTE: ONLY DRINK FLUIDS WITH A FEVER. After your fever breaks, then have the stew. A day after I had the stew my flu symptoms were 50 - 75% gone. This is not a cure-all, but it does give your body what it needs to get back on its feet. It's also GREAT for preventing the flu. To save time, in the directions, I prepare the next ingredient while the one I just added is cooking; for example, if I just added the wine, I will then start cutting the carrots and mushrooms, and add them when I'm done, and continue. You can try it with or without meat or cabbage, or you can substitute or add different veggies, tofu, or beans, and it should still turn out just fine. Hope it benefits you as much as it has me.

Time 1h15m

Yield 8-10 quarts, 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

6 garlic cloves (chopped)
2 medium onions (white, red, or yellow, chopped)
1/2 cup olive oil
1 lb lentils (steamed)
8 ounces mushrooms (chopped)
2 medium potatoes (chopped with skin on)
1 lb chicken (or other meat, 1-2 inch cubes)
6 carrots (1 lb bag, sliced)
1/2 head cabbage (chopped)
2 tablespoons salt (to taste)
1 1/2 cups white wine (a small 187ml bottle will do, red works too, although it will turn chicken purple)
1 (14 ounce) can chicken broth
6 -8 dashes Emeril's Original Essence (original) or 6 -8 dashes Italian spices

Steps:

  • Rinse lentils, add to small pot of boiling water, cover and turn down heat to simmer for 30 minutes.
  • In large pot add olive oil, garlic, onions and a few dashes of Essense; bring up heat to medium and stir until onions start to brown, then turn down heat to warm and prepare the meat.
  • Add meat. Bring heat to medium and stir until meat is half or almost cooked.
  • Add potatoes along with a few dashes of Essense, and stir until they start to brown.
  • Add wine. Cook for five minutes at medium heat or hot enough to boil the wine so the alcohol evaporates.
  • Add carrots and mushrooms and stir a few minutes.
  • Add chicken broth.
  • Add Salt.
  • Drain lentils after their thirty minutes time is up, and add to stew.
  • Add a few dashes of Essense, stir, and bring to a boil.

  • Stir, and serve.

Categories     dessert

Time 1h12m

Yield 30 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
Pinch of ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 stick unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 cup packed dark brown sugar
2 large eggs
1/4 cup molasses
1/4 cup low-fat plain Greek yogurt
1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger
2 teaspoons finely grated lemon zest (about 1 lemon)
1/2 cup old-fashioned oats
1 1/4 cups golden raisins
1 1/4 cups dried cranberries
1 1/4 cups roughly chopped walnuts, toasted

Steps:

  • Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper. Whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and salt in a medium bowl.
  • Beat the butter and brown sugar in a large bowl with a mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, 3 minutes. Beat in the eggs one at a time, fully incorporating each before adding the next. Add the molasses, yogurt, ginger and lemon zest and beat until smooth, scraping the sides of the bowl as needed. Reduce the mixer speed to low and beat in the flour mixture to make a sticky batter (do not overmix). Fold in the oats and half of the raisins, cranberries and walnuts. Mix the remaining dried fruit and nuts in a small bowl and set aside.
  • Drop heaping tablespoonfuls of batter onto the prepared baking sheets. Top each with some of the reserved dried-fruit-and-nut mixture and chill for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
  • Bake the cookies until dark golden but still soft, 10 to 12 minutes; cool on a rack. Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
