Coconut Cumin Bok Choy

Servings: 3
Preparation Time: 12 minutes

Ingredients:

• approximately 3/4 pound (12 ounces) baby bok choy
• 1 tablespoon coconut oil
  
• 1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds
• 2 cloves garlic, roughly chopped
• salt to taste
• apple cider vinegar (optional)

Directions:

Pull apart baby bok choy leaves and wash well. Stack leaves of bok choy and chop into 1/2-inch pieces/strips.

In a 12-inch skillet over medium heat, heat the coconut oil. Add the cumin seeds and chopped garlic and let sizzle until fragrant (approximately 2 minutes). Add the chopped bok choy and cook, stirring occasionally until wilted and softened but still bright green (approximately 4 minutes). While it is cooking, you can sprinkle with some salt.

Radishes with Coconut Oil and Sage

Servings: 3–4
Preparation Time: 10 minutes

Ingredients:

• 2 bunches of radishes (I used Easter egg radishes so they were Valentine’s colors.)
• 2–3 tablespoons coconut oil
• 1-2 teaspoons sage (I used dried.)
• sea salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

Wash and remove the leaves and stems from the radishes. Cut in half or quarters depending on the size of the radishes.

Melt the oil over medium-high heat in a skillet and toss in the radishes. Let cook for about 6–7 minutes or until soft and browned, stirring occasionally

Sprinkle the sage, salt, and pepper.

Variations:

Diced onions and/or garlic would also be good in this recipe.
