welcome home !

For our ❤️retreat guests - those who came and who will come 😊
Everyone here thoroughly enjoys our fermented olives which we often serve for breakfast or to accompany a meal. We make them from scratch the old fashioned, traditional way - hand made and labor intensive 😅 and it’s worth it!
We hand pick the first biggest green olives just before we collect the rest to press them for olive oil. Then we crack them. Then olives must soak in salty water (you change the water 5 times 5 days in a row) to get rid of bitterness. After we prepare brine flavored with garlic, lemon 🍋, rosemary, thyme, lemon grass etc. keep (ferment) olives in this brine for 2 weeks. Then we can eat them 👍🏻
A recent study done by the university of Barcelona found that when you eat fermented olives, they prevent your gut from absorbing heavy metals from the other food you eat at the same time. A very valuable health effect apart from olives being simply delicious 😋

Everyone loves Harmony Home almonds and asks what we do to them 😊. Now you know.
No we don’t really use soaked only almonds, they are tasteless. No you don’t destroy the nutrients by baking them below 160C.

As the fig season is coming to an end, here is our last seasonal recipe is Fig Chutney 😁
Similar to the Indian mango chutney, you make it with spices adding a touch of flavours like pungent and bitter to add depth. Salt and lemon juice will give you the salty and sour flavours. And suddenly your jam is nutritious, healthy and detoxifying 😃
💪Cut into pieces, cook in low fire 🔥 for a few hours to reduce water, add spices like ginger, cumin, turmeric, cinnamon, black pepper etc., blend and freeze what you can’t eat.
Enjoy on toast, in a baked fig roll, with fresh cheese and honey 🍯 ohhhh..

Another fig creation 😍and my favorite for breakfast, lunch or dinner. So easy to make. The secret for success is quality ingredients - goats cheese, organic sourdough, olive oil (basil pesto is made with it), sweet fresh figs (suppose you can substitute them with soaked dry ones, not sure).
Enjoy!!
With love ❤️ from Antonina’s kitchen @harmonyhomewellness
