Benefits of Today’s Essential Oils
Used as Ingredients in Montreal Steak Seasoning Salt Rub Copycat
Coriander-
It has eleven components of essential oils, six types of acids (including ascorbic acid, better known as vitamin-C), minerals and vitamins, each having a number of beneficial properties. The disinfectant, detoxifying, antiseptic, antifungal and antioxidant properties of coriander are ideal for clearing up skin disorders . Coriander helps reduce the level of bad cholesterol (LDL) deposition along the inner walls of the arteries and veins.
Black Pepper –
Black pepper (Piper nigrum)stimulates the taste buds in such a way that an alert is sent to to the stomach to increase hydrochloric acid secretion, thereby improving digestion. Hydrochloric acid is necessary for the digestion of proteins and other food components in the stomach. And not only does black pepper help you derive the most benefit from your food, the outer layer of the peppercorn stimulates the breakdown of fat cells, keeping you slim while giving you energy to burn.
Piperine is the key chemical in black pepper. It is similar to capsaicin a chemical in chili and offers many health benefits. Piperine is said to help make curcumin from Turmeric more bioavailable. One study found that when even 2g of curcumin was ingested, its serum levels were very low. However, when 20mg piperine was added to curcumin the bioavailability increased by 2000%.
Dill –
The activity of dill’s volatile oils qualify it as a “chemoprotective” food (much like parsley) that can help neutralize particular types of carcinogens, such as the benzopyrenes that are part of cigarette smoke, charcoal grill smoke, and the smoke produced by trash incinerators. The total volatile oil portion of dill has also been studied for its ability to prevent bacterial overgrowth. In this respect, dill shares the stage with garlic, which has also been shown to have “bacteriostatic” or bacteria-regulating effects.
Fennel –
The most important nutrient in this vegetable might be anethole, a component in the volatile oil of fennel and one of the most powerful agents against cancer occurrence, possibly due to a biological mechanism that shuts down or prevents the activation of NF-kappaB, a gene-altering, inflammation-triggering molecule. Phytonutrients in fennel seeds include the flavonoids rutin, quercitin, and kaempferol, all antioxidants which resist infection, aging, and degenerative neurological diseases. Fennel seed oil can reduce intestinal spasms and increase motility of the small intestine. It alleviates gastric pain and discomfort associated with indigestion, abdominal bloating, nausea, belching, and flatulence.

3/4 cup sugar
1/2 tsp pepper (1 drop Black Pepper EO)
1/3 cup olive oil
2/3 cup vinegar
Drain beans. Add beans, onion and green pepper to bowl and toss gently.

- fresh herbs, such as thyme or rosemary
- 1 drop Thyme EO
- 1 drop Rosemary EO
Directions:
- Place peeled garlic cloves in a small saucepan, cover with olive oil, and place over very low heat on the stove. As the oil begins to warm, you will slowly see small bubbles form–they will gradually get larger until the oil is simmering slowly.
- Continue to cook the garlic in the oil over very low heat, stirring carefully every few minutes, for 12 to 18 minutes, or until the garlic cloves are tender and nearly cooked through, still retain their shape, yet are not caramelized–use a long sharp knife to pierce the cloves, they should meet little to no resistance.
- Remove from the heat, and allow to cool completely (stir every few minutes) before transferring the garlic and oil carefully to a large glass jar or other airtight container. Add the fresh herbs to the oil, if using. Store refrigerated for up to 2 to 3 weeks.

- Add the lemon juice and continue cooking for 2-3 minutes.
- Reduce heat to low – add the salt and red pepper flakes.
- Add the cooked pasta and toss with the lemon garlic sauce until fully coated.
- Transfer to serving dishes and top with a drizzle of olive oil, lemon zest, fresh grated parmesan cheese and red pepper flakes (optional).
