With the triple digit heat, we're always in search of light and refreshing summer dishes!
24 Carrots owner Sasha Raj stopped with some delicious and healthy ideas for us - here are some recipes from today's show:
Jalapeño watermelon limeade
6 cups watermelon, cubed and blended
Juice of 4 limes
1 jalapeño, 2-3 pieces, seeded
2 cups water
1/2 cup favorite sweetener (date syrup is fantastic in this recipe, agave or sugar is delicious as well)
Purée together, pour over ice & splash with a little tequila ;)
Pulled jackfruit tacos for taco Tuesday
2 cans raw jackfruit in brine (not the fruit in syrup!), drained & chopped
1 bottle fav BBQ sauce
1/2 cup sliced onion
1/2 cup diced garlic
5 tablespoons olive oil
2 cups water
Soft taco tortillas
Favorite toppings!
Sauté onions, garlic & jackfruit in pan with two tablespoons oil, till lightly browned. Add water & BBQ sauce, simmer for 40 mins, till jackfruit is soft to the fork. Small with potato masher till it "pulls" like pork.
***Optional bonus round***
Transfer to a cookie sheet, drizzle with oil & broil on low for 3-4 mins till edges brown and caramelize.
Fill your tacos up with this and all your favorite toppings! Enjoy, no-harm taco Tuesday!
