Carrot Burdock Saute

Burdock root is a satisfying, nutty flavored root vegetable that the Japanese use. It can be found in teas to heal sore throats and colds and contains inulin, a dietary fiber that aids in digestion. It has been found to regulate blood sugar, have anti-inflammatory and antibacterial qualities. It may help skin conditions such as wrinkles, psoriasis, eczema and acne.

Ingredients:

  • 2 tsp ghee or avocado oil (high heat tolerant)

  • 2 cups carrots cut into matchsticks

  • 2 cups burdock cut into matchsticks

  • 3 T Tamari

  • 1 T rice vinegar

  • 1 T sweetener (I use monkfruit)

  • Gomasio to taste (ground roasted sesame seeds and sea salt)

Here’s How:

  1. Heat a large skillet, and once very hot, add fat and burdock root, stir and cover for 3-5 minutes.

  2. Add carrots and stir. Cover for another 3-5 minutes.

  3. Mix remaining ingredients together and drizzle over saute. Cook uncovered until all liquid is absorbed and sprinkle with gomasio (ground sesame seeds and salt) for garnish.
