AIP Creamy Coconut Yogurt (Instant Pot)

AIP Creamy Coconut Yogurt (Instant Pot)

2 33.8 ounce contatiner full-fat coconut cream (without gums/thickeners)

1 25.36 ounce container full-fat coconut milk (without gums/thickeners)

2 tablespoons maple syrup

1/4 cup tapioca flour

1 5 ounce container coconut yogurt with active cultures

1. Add coconut cream and milk to inner pot of Instant Pot reserving 1 1/2 cups to set aside for later. Stir in the maple syrup. Turn Instant Pot to "Sautee". Stir occasionally as it heats up.

2. As the liquid heats, add the 1/4 cup tapioca flour to the 1 1/2 cup of reserved liquid. Using a hand blender, thoroughly combine until all the flour is completely incorporated. Set aside.

3. When the temperature of the liquid in the Instant Pot reaches between 180-200 degrees, remove the inner pot and place on a cooling rack. (If in a hurry, carefully place the inner pot in a cold water ice bath in the sink.)

4. Add the reserved flour mixture to the inner pot. Thoroughly combine using the hand blender.

5. Allow mixture to cool to at least 110 degrees (be sure to allow to reach 110 so that the live cultures will not be killed when added). 

6. Remove 1 1/2 cups of the liquid, add the container of coconut yogurt to the 1 1/2 cups and stir thoroughly (do not use hand blender to avoid killing the cultures). Thoroughly combine.

7. Add the yogurt mixture back to the inner pot and thoroughly combine.

8. Return the inner pot to the Instant Pot. Place the lid on the pot and lock it, adjust to sealing. Press the "Yogurt" function and adjust the time to 9 hours.  (Yogurt can be cooked from 8-10 hours.) When complete, the display will read "Yogt."

9. Transfer the yogurt to the desired storage containers. Place in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours to allow to thicken.

 PANDEBONO

(AIP Reintroduction Phase)

This recipe calls for feta cheese which is made with sheep's milk. Casein protein in the sheep's milk is often tolerated in people who don't tolerate cow's milk. This is the case for me.

Ingredients

2/3 cup cassava flour
1/4 cup coconut flour
7 oz feta cheese
1 gelatin egg (recipe below)

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
2. In food processor, place the flours and cheese. Process until well combined (you may need to use a spatula to scrape off the sides of the processor). Add the gelatin egg slowly while food processor is running.
3. Divide the mixture into 12 equal size portions and then shape them into balls.
4. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for between 15-20 minutes until golden on top.
5. Serve warm.

Gelatin Egg 

1 tablespoon grass-fed gelatin
1 tablespoon lukewarm water
2 tablespoon hot water

1. Mix gelatin and 1 tablespoon of warm water together until the gelatin is wet.
2. Pour 2 tablespoons of hot water over the mixture and whisk with a hand blender. You will see the gelatin start to dissolve and it will look like a thick, fluffy liquid. 
3. Add immediately to the batter.

1 tablespoon coconut flour

3 tablespoon water

4-5 cups shredded cabbage

1 medium onion, thinly sliced

2 tablespoons coconut oil

-diced green onions

-crumbled bacon

-wasabi avocado sauce

Instruction

1. Prepare gelatin eggs by mixing the gelatin and 2 tablespoons of warm water together until the gelatin is wet. 

2. Pour 4 tablespoons hot water over the mixture and whisk vigorously by hand or with a hand blender. 

3. Let the gelatin "egg" sit for 2-3 minutes.

4. In a large bowl, combine the "eggs," aminos, oil, vinegar and fish sauce and whisk until smooth.

5. Combine the salt, cassava flour, and coconut flour then add to the liquid mixture and whisk again to combine.

6. Add the water a tablespoon at a time, whisking after each tablespoon. Use only enough water to thin batter but not watery and runny.

7. Add the shredded cabbage and onion to the batter and toss to combine and coat everything.

8. Heat 1/2 tablespoon oil in a non-stick or cast iron skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add about 3/4 cup of the cabbage mixture. Press it down with a spatula to form a circle about 1/2 inch thick. Place a cover on the skillet for 3-5 minutes to help soften the cabbage. 

9. Flip the pancakes and cook another 3-5 minutes without the lid. If needed to get the first side golden brown, flip over one more time to crisp it up.
