leahcarn Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 I have opened a can of it but I have no idea what to do! Trying different ways to get fat into my meals, but apart from curries, I'm stuck. Ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jump4life Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 Have you tried making coconut cream? it takes some practice and patience but is lovely with fruit, especially berries. This recipe is a bit more complex, but the good directions on making the cream are all there. http://theclothesmakethegirl.com/2012/07/04/red-white-blue-bowl/ (Red, white and blue can be for a New Zealand holiday as well, right?) I made a batch and saved it in the refrigerator for 3 days and it was fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators ShannonM816 Posted August 11, 2014 Moderators Share Posted August 11, 2014 Add it to coffee or tea. If I'm stir frying meat and vegetables and I want it creamier, I'll add coconut milk (sort of reminds me of a stroganoff). This recipe for butternut squash. Use it in soups to make them creamy.

Clarabelle Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 I poured about 1/3 cup into silicone cupcake liners and froze it. Then I take one out as needed and mostly use it for my version of sunshine sauce, pad Thai. I like sauted broccoli, peppers, snow peas, carrots, cabbage slaw, chicken and sunshine sauce -yum! I make just one serving at a time so the coconut milk lasts longer being in the freezer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whole30 Certified Coach littleg Posted August 17, 2014 Whole30 Certified Coach Share Posted August 17, 2014 Real coconut milk? Not the light kind? If its real, its supper yummy. I'd have a hard time not using it up My husband and I usually open a can and pour it into a glass jar to store in the fridge (if you bought good stuff it will harden up in the fridge and may even be scoopable!). Goes bad pretty quick - 3 days max usually. We use it mostly on fruit. I love it on frozen mangos. He uses it on frozen mixed berries. Its good for stirring into mashed sweet potato with ginger too (just a bit - maybe a tbsp per fist size potato). You can also add it to scrambled eggs to make them a little creamier. To use up the whole can a curry is a good dish to make - I buy Thai Kitchen curry spice mixes (99% sure they are compliant but don't have one here to check) and then add meat and veggies.

praxisproject Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 * soak your chicken livers instead of regular milk * add it to bulletproof coffee (made with ghee or coconut oil) * add to black coffee or tea * thai curries * indian curries * malaysian curries * soups * (not for Whole30) mix with frozen berries for a kind of instant-icecream For more fat: * mayo * animal fats - duck, goose, chicken, bacon, beef etc * avocado * olive oil * egg yolks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JenninTenn Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Add to mashed sweet potatoes, along with some cinnamon, nutmeg, clove. Delicious accompaniment to many roast poultry or pork dishes. Adds a wonderful lusciousness which really enhances the deep earthy flavor of the sweet potatoes. Works well in other "mashes" made from winter squashes or even cauliflower.

praxisproject Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 Oh yeah, make a "cream" sauce with it for some protein, but beware of SWYPO territory, or foods with no brakes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
