    SCD yogurt has to be fermented for 24 hours to be SCD legal. In the process, the bacteria converts the lactose to digestive enzymes and protein. The amount of probiotics in SCD yogurt is estimated to be 50 times more than store-bought probiotics tablets. One spoonful in the early stages is enough to build a tolerance for this super powerful “medicine” in a cup. Personally, I find it easiest to prepare the yogurt in my 3 quart instant pot.

    Yoghurt is considered a “full liquid” for those after surgery or compromised GI tract. Depending on the milk that you use, you can assume at last the following nutrition facts per cup:

    • Press the YOGURT button on the 3 quart instant pot, and press the plus or minus until 24:00 appears on the display.
    • In a few seconds, a beep will be heard, signaling that the fermenting countdown has started.
    • Do not use the instant pot lid to cover the pot. Rather, use the lid from the large pot. The yogurt does not cook with pressure, so there is no reason to keep the pressure lid on.
    • After 24 hours, the 3 quart instant pot will beep and show YOGT on the display, signaling that your yogurt is done. Pour into storage jars and refrigerate. Your yogurt will stay fresh for at least a week.

  • Instant Pot Onion Soup – SCD Legal Gluten-Free Vegan

    Instant Pot Onion Soup – SCD Legal Gluten-Free Vegan

    This recipe is for onion soup, legal for the SCD diet and other restrictions. It is entirely dairy free, grain free, gluten-free, vegetarian, and vegan. I did not name it “French Onion Soup” because I won’t serve these in ramekins from the oven, or breadcrumbs. Here’s all the flavor of your favorite soup without the fluff. Done in less than 30 minutes.

    • 1/4 cup oil
    • 3 medium Spanish onions
    • 5 bay leaves
    • 3 cloves garlic
    • ½ cup vinegar
    • Salt, pepper, white pepper to taste

    *You may replace the oil with butter, the vinegar with lemon juice, and the water with broth stock tp meet your dietary requirements.

    Directions:

    • Peel and chop onions into half-rings. Separate the layers as you drop the sliced onions into the instant pot.
    • Add the garlic and bay leaves, and oil. Press the sauté setting. Stir, and watch for the onions to caramelize.
    • When they release some liquid, they are done.
    • Add 4 cups of water, and the remainder of the seasoning, making sure to taste for enough salt.
    • Seal with instant pot lid, and set to cook on HIGH pressure (manual setting) for 20 minutes.
    • Your soup is now done. Be careful, because it will be extremely hot, even for those accustomed to eating freshly cooked food.  Freezes very well!

    10 minute marinated-pickled beef flank steak in the instant pot, with video recipe  below. Now, go buy some steak! This mouthwatering medium-rare meat will taste like pickled deli that has been marinating in brine. Realistically, a few simple paleo/gluten-free, and SCD legal ingredients were used:

    1/2 onion, 1 lb premium angus flank steak, apple cider vinegar, salt, pepper, honey, 3 bay leaves.

    1. Five minutes of onion sauteed, plus ten minutes cooking time.
    2. I do not apologize for chewing in your ears!

    After cooking it, I was able to divide this one pound steak into three portions. I ate 1/3 fresh, and I cut the leftovers into thin strips. I will eat the strips tomorrow as cold deli, and try some inside a lettuce wrap.
