200 gram bar of Valrhona 61% cacao (or any bittersweet chocolate)
3 sticks (343 grams) butter
2-1/4 cups (445 grams) sugar
8 eggs
1-1/4 cup (180 grams) flour
1/4 cup (30 grams) cocoa powder, unsweetened
1-1/2 teaspoons (7 grams) baking powder
1/4 teaspoon Himalayan pink salt
3/4 cup (82 grams) goji berries, chopped

1. Chop chocolate and transfer into the bowl of a standing mixer.
2. Add butter to the chocolate and place the bowl over a pan of simmering water. Stir until chocolate melts and butter is combined.
3. Remove from heat and stir in sugar. Let mixture cool for 10 minutes.
4. Beat in an electric mixer for 3 minutes.
5. Add one egg at a time, mixing for 30 seconds between each
6. Sift the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt into the mixture, return to the electric mixer, and mix until blended.
7. Stir in the goji berries. Scoop into cupcake cups and bake at 350 F for 25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.

Note: If the oven is not hot enough than these cupcakes may over-flow. One way to be safe is to either fill 2/3’s full or another trick I use is to preheat to 375, then drop the heat to 350 once I put the cupcakes in. I also rotate the pans after 15 minutes of baking. It is safe to gently move then at that point and I find the lower back of my oven to be a bit cooler.

Goji-Ginger Almond Pears – from Jon Laruet
Pears are one of the few fruits that actually improve in texture and flavor after being picked a little green. You can store them in a paper bag for a couple of days to speed up ripening. A little softness around the stems and a change in skin color means they’re ready. Bartletts, red Bartletts, or Anjou varieties have the best flavor and are good for cooking.

When the time comes for thickening the pear sauce, I prefer arrowroot over cornstarch, although it is a little harder to find. Arrowroot comes from a tropical tuber whose root stalks are dried and ground into a fine starchy powder that’s very easy to digest. Sauces thickened with arrowroot are a little finer than those thickened with cornstarch but you can use either.

The Goji’s and the ginger are powerful energetic ingredients in this dessert. Ginger, Zingiber officinale, is known throughout the world for its tonic and spiritually uplifting properties. When used fresh, it’s especially effective at improving digestion and calming nausea and indigestion — making it a great follow-up to any hearty meal.

5 firm ripe pears
3 cups apple cider
2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh ginger root
3 tablespoons cornstarch or arrowroot
1/2 teaspoon pure almond extract Salt to taste
Preparation: 1. Peel the pears, quarter them lengthwise, and core. Slice pears thinly and place in a saucepan with the apple cider and ginger root. Add a pinch of salt.
2. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer until pears are tender, about 15 minutes.
3. Dissolve cornstarch or arrowroot in 1/3 cup cold water and add to the simmering pears, stirring, until the sauce is thick and clear.
4. Remove from heat and stir in almond extract. Serve warm or cold.

Chocolate Recipe Alternative With Goji And Prune from Alex Windall
Satisfy your chocolate cravings in a healthy way this holiday season with a simple recipe switch. You can replace up to three-quarters of the shortening in chocolate recipes with a puree of dried plums and a quarter part Goji Berries. The puree will add a dense, fudge-like texture to recipes and works especially well with chocolate. What’s more, dried plums, or prunes, are an excellent source of boron and both are an excellent source of fiber.

Tips: There are many ways to make your holiday menu healthier. Avoid self-basting turkeys, which are usually injected with butter or other fatty additives. Replace the shortening in baked goods with applesauce or pureed prunes. This will make your baked goods denser, but you can lighten them up by using a softer flour, such as pastry or cake flour, and by beating the egg whites and folding them into the batter. Use fat-free chicken broth to flavor mashed potatoes. And flavor your butternut squash or sweet potatoes with orange juice or pineapple juice, instead of salt and butter.

1 teaspoon lemon juice
dash ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon butter
Preparation: 1. To make the crust, place the flour and sugar or glycerin in a food processor. Process briefly to mix. Drop the chunks of butter into the feed tube with the motor running and process quickly until the mixture is crumbly. Add the egg, almond, and pecans and process until just combined. Do not over mix the crust.

Amchi B’s Carrot Soup with Goji, Orange and Ginger
Pale brown, knobby fresh ginger adds a note of exotic, sweet spiciness to soups and other dishes. Look for smooth, shiny ginger with no cracks in the skin. Before slicing, chopping, mincing or grating, remove the thin skin using a sharp knife or a vegetable peeler. To grate fresh ginger, use the finest rasps on a standard handheld grater or use a specially designed ginger grater—a small, flat ceramic or light metal tool with tiny, very sharp teeth.
1 Tbs. olive oil
2 Tbs. coconut oil
2 leeks, including tender green portions, thinly sliced
6 carrots, about 1 lb. total, peeled and thinly sliced
1 red potato, about 1/2 lb., peeled and coarsely diced
1 1/2 tsp. peeled and minced or grated fresh ginger
5 cups chicken or vegetable stock
1/2 cup fresh orange juice
2 tsp. grated orange zest
1 half cup Goji Berries
Salt and freshly ground white pepper, to taste
Thin orange slices for garnish (optional)
Fresh mint sprigs for garnish (optional)
Preparation: In a large saucepan over medium heat, warm the olive and coconut oils. Add the leeks and sauté until just slightly softened, about 3 minutes. Add the carrots, potato and ginger and sauté until the vegetables are just softened, about 5 minutes more. Add the stock, cover partially and simmer until the vegetables are completely softened, about 20 minutes. Remove from the heat and add the Goji Berries.
In a blender or food processor, puree the soup in batches, leaving some texture, and return the soup to the pan. Alternatively, process with a stick blender in the pan until the desired consistency is reached.
Set the pan over medium heat and stir in the orange juice and zest. Season with salt and white pepper. Ladle the soup into warmed bowls and garnish each serving with an orange slice and a sprig of mint. Serves 4 to 6.
Serving Tip: For an alternative garnish, top the soup with fried ginger. Peel a 5-inch piece of ginger and slice it into a very fine julienne. In a small fry pan over medium-high heat, pour in vegetable oil to a depth of about 1/2 inch. When the oil is hot, fry the julienned ginger until crisp and golden brown, 20 to 30 seconds. Using a skimmer, transfer the ginger to a paper towel-lined plate or tray. When cool, divide the ginger into 4 to 6 portions and use to garnish each serving of soup.

Goji/Rhubarb Shortcake with Almond Brown-Sugar Biscuits from Walter Reindale
One of the pleasures of spring is fresh rhubarb combined with the Tibetan Goji Berry, made here into a sweet-tart ambrosial sauce with orange liqueur, an exquisite pairing with richly flavored almond biscuits. Mouth-watering!

For the Filling: 1 1/2 pounds rhubarb, trimmed and cut into 1/2 inch pieces
1/2 cup Goji Berries
3/4 cup sugar or fifty drops of Stevia extract
2 tablespoons Grand Marnier or other orange liqueur
For the Shortcake: 1/4 cup blanched whole almonds or 3 tablespoons sliced almonds
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoons packed light brown sugar
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoons salt
3 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into about 10 pieces
1/4 cup whole or low fat milk
Lightly sweetened whipped cream
Preparation: 1. To make the filling, combine the rhubarb with the sugar and 1/2 cup water in a medium-large saucepan. Bring to boil over high heat, stirring. Reduce the heat to low and cook, add the Goji Berries and cover, stirring occasionally, until the rhubarb is tender but still hold some of its shape, about 10 minutes and remove from the heat, stir in the liqueur, and cool to room temperature. (The rhubarb mixture can be made a day ahead and refrigerated. Reheat in a microwave to return to a sauce-like consistency.)
2. To make the shortcake, preheat the oven to 425F.
3. Combine the almonds and two sugars in a food processor. Process until the nuts are finely ground. Add the flour, baking powder, and salt and pulse to combine. Distribute the butter over the flour mixture and pulse until most of the butter is the size of small peas. With the motor running, slowly pour the milk through the feed tube, stopping just when the dough begins to come together. Scrape out onto a lightly floured board, gather the dough together, knead a couple of times, and roll or pat the dough until about 3/4 inch thick. Using a 2 3/4- or 3-inch cutter, cut out 4 biscuits, recutting scraps if necessary. Place the biscuits on an un greased baking sheet at least 1 1/2 inches apart. (The biscuits can be made 3 hours ahead and stored, loosely covered, in the refrigerator.)
4. Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, until the biscuits are golden brown. Cool slightly on a rack.
5. To serve, split the biscuits with a serrated knife. Place the bottoms on serving plates, spoon about half the Goji/rhubarb mixture over, and replace the tops. Spoon the remaining rhubarb over and top with dollops of whipped cream. Serves 4.

Goji Recipe #4: Cream of Buckwheat with Goji Berries:
For people who struggle with wheat allergies and gluten intolerance,
buckwheat is an ideal food. Many people who are having physical and
emotional challenges find that removing wheat and other gluten containing
foods from there diet makes a profound difference in how they think and
feel. Buckwheat has plenty of protein and B vitamins, and is rich in
phosphorus, potassium, iron, and calcium. Although buckwheat has many
grain-like characteristics, it is from an entirely different botanical
family, and is actually a fruit. Since buckwheat is unrelated to the classic
cereal grains, those who are allergic to wheat can tolerate buckwheat. It is
also Delicious!

To make a serving for two people: Bring 2 ½ cups of water to a boil, slowly
stir in ½ cup of Cream of Buckwheat, return to boil. Add a handful of Goji
Berries per person. A dash of good quality salt is optional. Reduce heat to
low, simmer 10 minutes stirring frequently. Enjoy! Select your goji berries
here.
