Golden Root Paste + Golden Latte #Sponsored

This weekend I stopped in at The Quail & Olive* and Anni shared these two spices from Diaspora Co. with me. I always love learning about new companies, especially one that has such interesting roots. Diaspora Co. was founded just a couple of years ago with a mission to forge an equitable spice trade that decolonizes spices back into a seasonal crop and restructures a broken system into an fair and sustainable exchange.

From the pantry section of The Quail & Olive, I picked up the Diaspora Co. Pragati Turmeric and Aranya Pepper. Both are single origin with the former coming from Vijayawada, a city in the southeast Indian state of Andhra Pradesh; the latter comes from Thirunelly, a village in the southern Indian state of Kerala.


I have long been a fan of golden milk, a traditional Ayurvedic recipe made with turmeric mixed with different spices. Some versions include black pepper, others cardamom. Some are sweetened with honey, others with dates. But I've always bought a mixture...and they're pricey. So, the two items from The Quail & Olive inspired me to make my own version. With just a few ingredients, you can have your own golden root paste...and make your own golden lattes.

Ingredients

Golden Root Paste makes approximately 1 cup paste
  • 1/3 cup turmeric powder
  • 5 Tablespoons organic coconut oil
  • 1" knob fresh ginger, peeled and freshly grated
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 3/4 cup water
  • 1 to 2 cinnamon sticks (organic Ceylon cinnamon sticks from RawSpiceBar)**


Golden Latte makes one cup
Procedure

Golden Root Paste
Place all of the ingredients in a medium saucepan. Heat until the coconut oil is melted. Whisk until smooth. Remove from heat and take out the cinnamon sticks. Transfer to a glass jar with a lid and store in the refrigerator. 

Note: the paste should be stored in the refrigerator and used within two weeks.


Golden Latte
Gently warm milk in a saucepan. Whisk in turmeric paste and honey until well-combined. Pour into a mug and garnish with a cinnamon stick. Serve immediately.

This month the French Winophiles group is looking at affordable wines from Burgundy.  Host Cindy of Grape Experiences wrote: "Burgundy, or Bourgogne, is known for its wines of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir... as well as Aligote, Gamay, Sauvignon, César, Pinot Beurot, Sacy, Melon in lesser quantities. Many of the well-known wines are quite expensive, but there are plenty of values to be found." Read her invitation here. And there won't be a Twitter chat for this event, so you will have to dive into the articles themselves to read about our pairings and findings. Here's the line-up...

Quick Pickled Red Onions and Radishes

By
If you've been reading my blog for even a short amount of time, you probably know how much I love to pickle things. I was just telling a friend you can pickle - with vinegar - or you can ferment - with salt - for similar delicious effect. The latter has digestive benefits and I love to do that, but when I need that pop of sour flavor quickly, I whip up quick pickles that are ready in as little as a day or two. I've Pickled Blueberries , Pickled Asparagus , Pickled Cranberries , Pickled Pumpkin , and even Pickled Chard Stems ! This I did last night for an upcoming recipe challenge that requires I include radishes. Ummmm...of course I'm pickling them! Ingredients  makes 1 quart jar radishes, trimmed and sliced organic red onions, peeled and thinly sliced (I used a mandolin slicer) 3/4 C vinegar (I used white distilled vinegar) 3/4 C water 3 T organic granulated sugar 1 T salt (I used some grey sea salt) 6 to 8 grinds of black pepper Proce...
