Natural versions of Thousand Island, Worchestershire Sauce, Mayo and Soy Sauce

June 18, 2007

Sounds good except for the soy sauce in the thousand island.

Let me be perfectly clear: soy in any form other than fermented forms

like miso and tempeh is patently unhealthy. Anyone who thinks

differently has been duped by the multi-billion dollar soy industry

just like most of us have been duped by mainstream medicine.

So successful has soy been at promoting the big lie about its safety

and health benefits, that it is found in a huge percentage of our

so-called healths foods: yogurt, dairy substitute, vegetarian meat

substitutes, you name it - and almost 100% of organic salad dressings.

The only exception I know of is a single Braggs salad dressing product.

What we need is a healthy home-made thousand island dressing. Since

the best thousand island recipes call for mayonnaise, you need to find

a mayonnaise that does not contain soy or canola. if you cannot, you

can make your own mayonnaise.

Likewise, many thousand island recipes call for either soy sauce or

worchestershire sauce (I prefer the ones which use worchestershire

sauce). To make any of those recipes, you should first make your own

soy sauce substitute, which you can in turn use to make home-made

Worchestershire sauce.

OK, first the soy sauce substitutes:

QUICK & EASY SOY SUBSTITUTE

8 fl.oz Molasses

3 fl.oz. Balsamic Vinegar

Sugar to taste

Instructions:

1. Place all the ingredients in a mixing bowl and mix until well blended.

EXTRA TASTY SOY SUBSTITUTE

* 4 tablespoons beef bouillon

* 4 teaspoons balsamic vinegar

* 2 teaspoons dark molasses

* 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger

* 1 pinch white pepper

* 1 pinch garlic powder

* 1 1/2 cups water

Instructions:

1. In a saucepan over medium heat, stir together the beef bouillon,

balsamic vinegar, molasses, ginger, white pepper, garlic powder and

water. Boil gently until liquid is reduced to about 1 cup, about 15

minutes.

Now that we have our soy sauce, which you can also use to enjoy sushi

and other oriental dishes as well as use to make other home made

sauces like home-made terriyaki, it is time to make the home-made

worchestershire sauce

HOME-MADE NATURAL WORCHESTERSHIRE SAUCE

1/16 cup extra virgin olive oil

1 tablespoons ground horseradish (fresh)

1 each onions

1/2 teaspoon garlic chopped

2 each black peppercorns

1/2 quart water

1 quart white vinegar

1 cup Soy Sauce Substitute

1-2 anchovies

2 cloves (or allspice)

1 lemon (peeled)

1 teaspoon sea salt

1 small can of tamarind paste (sold in most Asian markets. The

tamarind paste looks like soft road tar, and a small amount dissolved

in a liquid is an excellent way to add a " soft " citrus flavor to any dish.

Optional:

jalapena deseeded

lemon grass

ground cardamon

cinamon

Instructions:

Sweat all veggies until translucent, then add all liquids and reduce

by 1/2.

Strain, then refridgerate and let sit overnight.

The nest day, bring to boil, then mix tamarind paste into liquid and

add spices.

Refrigerate when not being used.

HOME-MADE NATURAL MAYONNAISE

You'll be amazed at the bright flavor of homemade mayonnaise. It's

really very simple and fast to make with a blender or processor.

Variations are given for flavored mayonnaises as well.

Ingredients:

* 2 egg yolks

* 3/4 teaspoon salt

* 1/2 teaspoon powdered mustard

* 1/8 teaspoon sugar

* Pinch cayenne pepper

* 4 to 5 teaspoons lemon juice or white vinegar

* 1-1/2 cups olive or other salad oil

* 4 teaspoons hot water

Preparation:

Beat yolks, salt, mustard, sugar, pepper, and 1 teaspoon lemon juice

in a small bowl until very thick and pale yellow. (Note: If using

electric mixer, beat at medium speed.) Add about 1/4 cup oil, drop by

drop, beating vigorously all the while. Beat in 1 teaspoon each lemon

juice and hot water. Add another 1/4 cup oil, a few drops at a time,

beating vigorously all the while. Beat in another teaspoon each lemon

juice and water. Add 1/2 cup oil in a very fine steady stream, beating

constantly, then mix in remaining lemon juice and water; slowly beat

in remaining oil. If you like, thin mayonnaise with a little

additional hot water. Cover and refrigerate until needed. Do not keep

longer than 1 week.

Yield: 1-1/2 cups

Blender or Processor Preparation:

Mayonnaise Place yolks, salt, mustard, sugar, pepper, and 3 teaspoons

lemon juice in blender cup or work bowl of a food processor fitted

with the metal chopping blade, and buzz 15 seconds (use low blender

speed). Now, with motor running, slowly drizzle in 1/4 cup oil (use

moderately high blender speed). As mixture begins to thicken, continue

adding oil in a fine steady stream, alternating with hot water and

remaining lemon juice. Stop motor and scrape mixture down from sides

of blender cup or work bowl as needed.
