Herbed Beef Breakfast Patties (AIP, Paleo)
Ground beef isn’t just for burgers and these herbed breakfast patties are sure to please! Great if you are following the paleo autoimmune protocol (AIP) or just need a change from bacon, eggs, and sausage.
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!
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.
