Braised Chicken with Bok-Choi

You can substitute the chicken breasts with cutlets, thighs, or drumsticks.

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 large onion, sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 1 Tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 Tbsp minced ginger
  • 2 carrots, cut into coins
  • 1 head  of bok-choi

Fry the onions over medium heat until brown, about 5 minutes. Then add the garlic, soy sauce, ginger,  carrots, and white stalks of bok-choi. Cook for 3 more minutes. Add the chicken broth and bok-choi leaves, then nestle the chicken into the liquid. Cover with a lid and cook for about 15 minutes, until chicken is done.

Jalapeno Walnut Patties

jalapeno walnut

This recipe should be prepared 7 hours in advance of meal time, as the dehydration time is 6 hours. The recipe serves one to two people, as it’s possible to make two small patties with the ingredients.

  • 3/4 cup walnuts, soaked 4 hours (soaking optional)
  • 4 cherry tomatoes
  • 1 small shallot
  • 1 clove garlic
  • salt, pepper
  • 1/2 jalapeno
  • 1/2 tsp cumin
  • 1 Tbsp fresh parsley
  • 1 Tbsp fresh green onions
  • 2 Tbsp lemon juice

Cashew Curry Sauce:

  • 1/4 cup cashews
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1/2 tsp curry powder

Blend all ingredients except walnuts in a food processor or blender. Add one or two tablespoons of water if needed, less water means a shorter dehydration time. Add the walnuts and pulse the mixture several times. The nuts should only be processed/blended for a few seconds, so that they retain some crunchy texture. Spoon the mixture into small patties on a teflex sheet. Dehydrate at 105 degrees on a teflex sheet for 2 hours or until firm enough to flip. Transfer mixture to mesh dehydrator sheets and dehydrate for an additional 4 hours or until desired texture is achieved.

Prepare the cashew curry sauce by blending all ingredients in a high speed blender or food processor. Place the patty on a plate and add a generous portion of mixed leafy greens, chopped green onions, cilantro, parsley, and avocado slices. Pour the cashew curry sauce over the greens and patty. Serve immediately.
