Cantaloupe and prosciutto are a classic combination as an appetizer – but on a bed of arugula with a caper/oregano dressing? YUM!
Main
Moules Marinière (AIP/Paleo)
Moules Mariniere (Sailor Style Mussels) are a fun way to get more fish into your diet. Traditional Moules Mariniere are steamed in wine, but adaptations have been made here for the AIP diet.
Bibimbap (AIP, Paleo)
Bibimbap, which is usually rice and vegetables, is re-imagined here as an allergy-friendly version over riced plantains.
Mediterranean Salad w/Shrimp
This Mediterranean Salad w/Shrimp is light and bright with an occasional hit of saltiness. It’s for everyone – not just folks on the AIP!
Picadillo (AIP, Paleo)
Picadillo is traditionally ground beef with tomatoes, peppers, onions, raisins and olives. I’ve taken out the nightshades, and added an ingredient that, according to my research, is often added in the Philippines – chayote squash!
Lamb Mint Meatballs w/Tzatziki Sauce
Lamb Mint Meatballs with Tzatziki Sauce is perfect for an appetizer, and meal, or for small plates. And it’s allergy friendly!
Intense Shepherd’s Pie
There is nothing like a hearty serving of shepherd’s pie when the temps get ridiculously cold. But it need not be bland! In this rendition, the meat is succulent bites of tender chuck roast, the gravy is embellished with some in-your-face balsamic vinegar, and the topping is white sweet potato mashed with turnips. It takes a while to make, but I promise you upon the life of my pressure cooker that it will be worth it.
AIP Spaghetti Sauce
This Spaghetti Sauce has NO TOMATOES in it – or peppers, or nightshades of any kind – but it is rich and tastes just like the original!
Mini Chicken Pot Pies (AIP, Paleo)
These Mini Chicken Pot Pies are worth all the time it takes to make them, especially for those of us on the AIP/Paleo who might miss the old-fashioned kind because of being gluten free and dairy free.
Brined Cornish Hens
These Brined Cornish Hens are seriously juicy and delicious! If you’ve never brined anything before, trying it on smaller birds like these is a great way to start.
