Asparagus provides a wealth of flavonoids, many of them undiscovered or unstudied, that are highly anti-inflammatory; they act as natural aspirin and soothe a hot, overburdened, struggling liver. The liver’s ability to cleanse increases greatly from this calming effect.

The “trunks” of broccoli are rich in phytochemical sulfur compounds that act as harmful gas to unfriendly bacteria and other microorganisms inside the intestinal tract and also travel straight to the liver, where they saturate liver tissue, allowing the liver’s immune system to have a fighting chance at controlling pathogens.

Sweet & Sour Stir Fry

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup chopped green onions
• 1 cup sliced carrots
• 2 cups broccoli florets
• 2 cups chopped asparagus
• 1 cup thinly sliced bell peppers (red, orange, and/or yellow)

FOR THE SAUCE

• 1 cup unsweetened or fresh pineapple juice
• 2 tablespoons lime juice
• 1 teaspoon grated ginger
• 1 teaspoon grated garlic
• 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon cayenne or red pepper flakes
• 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 1 tablespoon arrowroot powder

Directions:

In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the pineapple juice, lime juice, grated ginger and garlic, cayenne or red pepper flakes, maple syrup, tomato paste, and arrowroot powder. Set aside.

Add the green onions and carrots to a large non-stick ceramic pan. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes, adding a bit of water if needed to prevent sticking, until the carrots are almost tender. Add in the broccoli florets, asparagus, and bell peppers and cook for a further 5 minutes. When all the vegetables are tender, pour in the sauce and bring it to a boil, stirring frequently, until thickened. Remove from the heat and serve immediately.
