August 17, 2023 by Ezra Cohen No Comments

Are you craving a nutritious AND delicious start to your day? Or perhaps an energizing snack for that midday slump? Dive into the world of Brazil nut recipes with our Brazil nut butter fruit wraps. This recipe is a culinary delight blending the rich flavors of Brazil nut butter with the natural sweetness of fruits.

Brought to you by Ezra Cohen Montreal, these wraps are a testament to how a simple breakfast fruit wrap recipe can evolve into a gourmet experience.

Ingredient Insight:

  1. Brazil Nut Butter: An adequate alternative to the traditional peanut or almond butter, Brazil nut butter delivers a creamy, slightly sweet flavor and is packed with selenium, a powerful antioxidant.
  2. Whole Wheat Tortilla: A soft, pliable base for our wrap. It’s not just a vehicle for the filling but adds its own subtle flavor and is rich in fibers.

  4. Ground Cinnamon: A spice that adds warmth and an aromatic sweetness, complementing both the nut butter and fruits.

Health Benefits of Brazil Nuts

Brazil nuts aren’t just tasty; they’re a nutritional powerhouse. Bursting with selenium, they help support a healthy immune system and regulate thyroid function. Additionally, they offer heart-healthy unsaturated fats and are a natural source of magnesium, copper, and zinc. And to top it off, including them in your diet can benefit skin health and combat oxidative stress!

Ingredients List

  • 1 8-inch whole-grain tortilla
  • 2 tablespoons of Ezra Cohen Montreal Brazil nut butter
  • 1/2 cup of your choice of thinly sliced fresh fruit (like mango, kiwi, or berries). Feel free to mix and match based on the season!
  • A sprinkle of ground nutmeg or cinnamon (optional for added flavor)
  • 1 tablespoon of coconut flakes or chia seeds (optional for texture and added nutrients)

Instructions

  1. Lay out the whole wheat tortilla on a flat surface.
  2. Evenly spread the Brazil nut butter onto the tortilla, ensuring you reach the edges to make a sticky “seal” for the wrap.
  3. Delicately sprinkle the ground cinnamon over the Brazil nut butter layer.
  4. Place the thinly sliced fruit of your choice across the center of the tortilla.
  5. Gently roll up the tortilla, ensuring the wrap is tight and compact.
  6. Slice the wrap into bite-sized pieces if desired, or enjoy it whole.

Cashew Butter Stir Fry
August 9, 2023 by Ezra Cohen No Comments

Get ready to experience our mouth-watering cashew butter stir fry, a unique fusion of flavors that will leave you asking for more. For those who love a twist on classics, think of this as a vegetarian take on the traditional cashew chicken stir fry. This recipe combines the tender crunchiness of vegetables with the decadent, creamy delight of cashew butter.

Discover the culinary brilliance of Ezra Cohen Montreal with this exquisite recipe showcasing our premium cashew nut butter. Elevate your weeknight dinner routine, all from the comfort of your own kitchen.

Ingredients Description

The cashew butter stir fry is a harmony of different ingredients. The heart of the dish is the cashew butter, renowned for its creamy texture and nutty flavor. The olive oil brings its own subtle flavor while also assisting in sautéing the vegetables. Onions and garlic form the aromatic base of the dish, releasing their distinct flavors upon sautéing.

Mushrooms provide a satisfyingly meaty texture, while the bright, fresh snap peas add a sweet crunch. The bedrock of the dish, rice noodles, is known for its versatility, absorbing all the flavors beautifully.

The stir-fry sauce is a masterpiece in itself. Spicy Sesame Oil lends a fiery kick, balanced perfectly by the salty umami of soy sauce and the zesty tang of lime juice. Coconut sugar and mirin add a hint of sweetness, with rice vinegar providing a pleasant sourness. Water is essential to achieve the desired consistency of the sauce.

Before we get into the instructions, here are some tips for stir fry: be sure to prep all your ingredients beforehand, as stir-frying is a quick process. Additionally, using a large enough pan will prevent overcrowding and ensure your ingredients cook evenly.

Ingredients:

  • 2-3 tbsp of Olive Oil
  • 1/3 Onion, finely chopped
  • 2 Garlic cloves, minced or finely chopped
  • 8 oz White Button Mushrooms, sliced
  • 1/2 cup Sugar Snap Peas (sliced or whole)
  • Rice Noodles, prepared as per package instructions

Cashew Butter Stir Fry Sauce

  • 1/3 cup Ezra Cohen Montreal’s Cashew Butter
  • 2 tbsp Spicy Sesame Oil (you can also use regular sesame oil combined with hot sauce)
  • 3 tbsp Soy Sauce
  • 2 tbsp Fresh Lime Juice
  • 2 tbsp Coconut Sugar
  • 1 tbsp Mirin
  • 1 tbsp Rice Vinegar
  • 3-4 tbsp Water, adjusted to desired consistency

Instructions:

  1. Begin by preparing your stir fry sauce. Combine all the sauce ingredients (excluding water) in a bowl and mix well. Gradually add water, stirring until you reach the desired consistency.
  2. In a large skillet, heat 1 tbsp olive oil. Add chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing for about 3-5 minutes until they start to brown. Once done, transfer to a bowl.
  3. In the same skillet, heat another 1-2 tbsp of olive oil and sauté the sliced mushrooms for approximately 5 minutes until browned.
  4. Incorporate the snap peas into the skillet, sautéing for 2-3 minutes until they reach your preferred tenderness.
  5. Return the onion and garlic to the skillet, combine with cooked rice noodles, and mix well.
  6. Drizzle with the desired amount of sauce, ensuring an even coat on all ingredients. Stir well.
  7. Optional: Garnish with fresh cilantro, crushed red pepper flakes, and toasted cashews before serving.
