Summer Soufflés for Each Blood Type

Jul 2nd, 2015 by The Blood Type Diet

Summer brunches are a great time to share a wonderful meal made with veggies from the local farmers market or if possible, your own garden. Here is a selection of four delicious and beautiful soufflés we love that can be the centerpiece of your meal. Serve with mixed greens, a fruit salad, and muffins or rolls that are right for each type.


Spinach and Zucchini Soufflé – Type O

Ingredients:

  • 1 tablespoon ghee
  • 2 tablespoons of brown rice flour
  • ½ cup almond milk or rice milk
  • ½ cup vegetable stock
  • 2 cups packed spinach
  • 2 cups chopped zucchini
  • 2 large egg yolks
  • ¼ cup chopped basil
  • ¼ cup crumbled feta cheese (NS omit cheese)
  • ⅛ teaspoon ground cloves
  • 4 large egg whites at room temperature

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray 4 (12 oz) ramekins with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
  2. In a saucepan over medium heat, melt ghee and whisk in flour. Gradually add almond (or rice) milk and stock, whisking continuously until thickened, about 3 to 4 minutes. Once mixture is thick and resembles the consistency of yogurt, remove from the heat and cool completely.
  3. In a food processor, puree spinach and zucchini; strain excess liquid through cheesecloth or paper towels. Place vegetables in a bowl and whisk in egg yolks, basil, cheese, and cloves. Set aside.
  4. Once cooled, fold milk mixture into vegetable mixture.

Spoon mixture into prepared ramekins, and set on a baking dish. Fill baking dish halfway with hot water. Carefully place in the oven and bake for 45 minutes or until tester comes out clean.
