Rich & Creamy Dairy-Free Beef Liver Pâté With Blueberry Jelly
Shortly after I went on the autoimmune paleo protocol I got a hankering for pâté. Unfortunately, most pâté recipes contain one or more non-AIP ingredients, like butter, alcohol, or prohibited spices. I had tried some AIP pâté that was just pureed liver, onion, and seasonings and I was not impressed with the texture. I wanted to mimic that rich, creamy texture that butter lends a pâté, yet I needed to keep it dairy-free. Check out the secret ingredient I used here to get that perfect silky smooth texture!
Nightshade-free Shepherd’s Pie
Cauliflower is a wonderful and versatile vegetable, but I was left disappointed when I tried using it as the mashed topping for shepherd’s pie. This recipe utilizes tropical starchy roots as the mashed potato replacement in a nourishing, nightshade- and dairy-free version of the classic dish.
Nightshade-free Unrolled Cabbage Rolls
Want cabbage rolls, but don’t want to spend the time wrapping them up? This is a recipe for unrolled cabbage rolls that you can make in the oven or slow cooker. It also uses my nightshade-free “no-mato” sauce that’s suitable for the autoimmune paleo protocol. If you’re not on the AIP and want to use a tomato sauce instead, there’s an option for that as well.
Easy Aji Amarillo Meatballs and Guacamole
I love cooking with Peruvian hot peppers — especially the bright, hot, and surprisingly fruity aji amarillo. This is a quick and easy recipe for meatballs flavored with this wonderful chile. They pair perfectly with a big side of guacamole for dipping. Enjoy!
Slow Cooker Cuban Vaca Frita
Vaca Frita (which translates literally to “fried cow”) is by far my favorite Cuban recipe. The first time I tasted it in a restaurant I knew I had to recreate it at home. While it does take 2 days from start to finish to complete, the hands on time is very limited and it is actually really simple to make in your slow cooker. After slow cooking, the meat is marinated overnight and then quickly fried in some high-quality fat to make crispy-tender beef that is bursting with flavor. My mouth is watering just thinking about it! I hope you enjoy 🙂
Aji Amarillo Spiced Ground Beef & Veggie Hash
This is a Peruvian influenced quick and easy ground beef dish featuring the hot pepper aji amarillo and a unique blend of spices that will be sure to please. It’s easy to make a big pot to have leftovers and it also freezes well if you like to batch cook. You can substitute another locally-sourced chile pepper or other favorite pepper if you like.
Slow-Cooker Cuban Picadillo (with hidden, heart, liver, and kidney)
Picadillo is a spiced ground beef and vegetable hash and is a traditional dish in Spain, Costa Rica, Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic, Mexico, Cuba, and, interestingly, the Philippines. This recipe is for the Cuban style and sneaks in a healthy dose of grass-fed beef organ meats! It is so flavorful and well-spiced that you can’t even tell the heart, liver, and kidney hidden alongside the ground beef.
