Plan Z Phase: This is a Z2 (ZReduction) and a Zola To GO! recipe. I have made this sauce and used it several ways. I use it as a marinade and grilling sauce. I also use it in stir fry. It is designed to be SPICY. You can always back off on the cracked red peppers if you don’t want the heat factor. This is really a lovely sauce and so versatile!

You can also use this sauce as a spicy dressing.

Servings: Makes enough for 4 – 6 servings

Ingredients:

  • 3 Tbl of Braggs Aminos
  • 2 Tbl of wine vinegar. I use red wine or balsamic.
  • 1 tsp of Truvia
  • 2 cloves of garlic minced (jar garlic will work)
  • 1 tsp of ginger, minced (jar ginger will work)
  • 1 tsp of crushed red pepper flakes (or to taste) marinade

Instructions:

Mix all of these in a bowl.

If you let it rest awhile it will continue to strengthen and get hotter.

Here are some ideas on how to use it:

Marinate fish, beef or chicken in the sauce. Don’t marinate more than 4 – 6 hours. Then grill it. SAVE the marinade and when almost done grilling, put the marinade in a small sauce pan. Add ½ cup f broth and boil it down by half so it becomes almost syrupy.  Use that as a sauce to drizzle over your cooked entrée.

For stir fry: Cut up everything you want to stir fry. Begin to stir fry the things that take longer to cook. Then add half of the Asian sauce and optionally add some organic broth. Stir until the items are cooked through. I serve the rest of the sauce on the side so I keep down my amount of Bragg’s but you can decide what is best for you.

For Z2 just follow your options for fish, meat and veggies as well as the quantities. Today I made a stir fry with grilled chicken breast, pea pods, celery¸ green onions, cherry tomatoes and Napa cabbage.  Use my idea or use your own inspiration.

Enjoy!

Cheers,

Roasted Prime Rib

When I was a kid this was served at very special meals. My mother made hers plain. I had no idea how incredibly fabulous this meat could taste until I started adding the meat rub!

Zola-fied Berghoff Spinach

The Berghoff is a famous Chicago restaurant. Their creamed spinach is an institution in itself. This is my ZReduction version.

Cranberry Royale (EASY)

This is a takeoff of a cranberry bake recipe from Southern Living. This is homey, tasty, and not too sweet. Just a little cranberry twang but plenty of sweetness in the apples.

Chive Butter Biscuits

This is a combination of a few recipes I found. Love the fact that these are low carb and tasty!
