“Oh My”, if you have not said these two words together in a while with food, don’t worry, you will with this dish. LOL There really is not much else to say. You will simply have to try to make this dish. It’s awesome with yucca or any other of our favorite side dishes.

Here are the amazing ingredients for this awesome dish:

4 large yellow onions sliced
5 large garlic cloves
2 thick bacon strips
1 inch ginger sliced
5 green onions, diced (separate white from green)
2 bottles strained tomatoes
1 can coconut milk
1 tbsp Turmeric
1/2 tbsp Cumin
1 pinch saffron
1 Tbsp coconut oil
3 lbs Halibut diced
Salt/pepper to taste

So begin with roasting the onions, etc. stir in all the wonderful spices and ingredients and bring to high heat, cover and reduce to low

1- roast onions with coco oil and bacon
2- add garlic/white part of onions (brown)
3- add tomato, coconut oil and spices simmer
4- add fish

OMG and enjoy!

Patacones

My brother Marc asked us to finally post this for him. So babe, here it is: Colombian Patacones for you! My husband and mom in law taught me how to make these amazing treats. You should have these like most carbs after your workouts, don’t forget.

Fabulous Ingredients Required:

2 Large green/unripe Plantains
Sea Salt, to taste
Water
1/4 cup coconut oil

Here is how you make these great companions for your food:

Peel and cut the plantains into 3/4 inch long slices.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
Douse Plantains with Coconut Oil and place into oven for about 10-15 minutes turning over as needed.
Remove Plantains from oven before completely cooked and use two cutting boards to smash them into a thinner “patacon”. These should now be about 1/4 the size you started with.
Splash with some water, sprinkle sea salt, and brush with some more Coconut Oil.
Place back into oven. Cook for another 10-15 minutes turning to make sure they are nicely browned on each side.

These are so incredibly delicious and healthier then the Colombian twice fried traditional; you will love them. These are amazing with guacamole, cuban style dinner, or anything else that you love!

Enjoy Jo & Henry
