Here is a delicious stew that is also pure medicine.
A century ago in England a doctor figured out that when he gave
his elderly patients, who were feeling poorly, thyroid
sandwiches, they felt years younger.
I don't know about you but I am not planning on eating those
sandwiches anytime soon. Yuck! Besides, how would you make
them? I know that some people also take raw thyroid in pills
and I also have done this.
This is actually even better than that because it has all the
nutrients from the head of the fish, not just the thyroid.
That's very important since we need all of it. So it is full
of iodine and many other goodies. Besides, wouldn't you much
rather eat gourmet food than just pop pills?
Spanish Fish Stew
1/4 cup olive oil
2 medium onions
3 cloves garlic, finely minced
1 stick celery, finely chopped
1 green pepper, finely chopped
1 large can plum tomatoes
1 1/2 teaspoons dried red pepper flakes
1 bay leaf
4 cups fish fumet (recipe follows)
Salt and freshly ground pepper
2 pounds fresh wild red snapper, cut in 3 by 2 inch pieces
Heat olive oil gently in a deep saucepan. Add onions, garlic,
celery, and green pepper and cook a few minutes until
transulucent on medium heat. Be careful not to burn the
garlic.
Add tomatoes, red pepper flakes, bay leaf and fish stock and
cook for about 10 minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Add red snapper and cook covered for 5 minutes.
Recipe modified from "The Mediterranean Kitchen" by Joyce
Goldstein (mine is more like a cajun redfish courtboullion)
Quick Fish Stock
Just a nutritious as stock made with heads and carcasses of
fish but without all the hassle.
1 cup bonito flakes (Asian markets and online)
2 quarts cold water
1/4 cup vinegar
Put all ingredients in a saucepan and bring to boil. Skim.
Lower heat and simmer 2-3 hours. Let cool and strain. Use
right away or freeze for later.
Fish stock recipe from "Eat Fat, Lose Fat" by Dr. Mary Enig and
Sally Fallon of the Weston Price Foundation
I serve this stew by ladling over a multi-grain cereal (Kashi
pilaf also works great) that I have previously soaked several
hours in 2 tablespoons raw vinegar and then cooked in the rice
cooker.
I hope you try this. If you serve it without the grain it is
truly low carb.
Everyone needs to take good care of their thyroid and I can't
think of a more tasty way to do this!
