Recipes that follow PaNu



Roger and I have been following the nutritional recommendations of Kurt Harris (http://www.paleonu.com/getstarted), the key attributes being high saturate fat, minimal sugar, low carbohydrates, balanced omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acid ratios, and minimal lectins.
We drink 1/2 to a cup of heavy whipping cream mixed in coffee or tea. We eat when we are hungry which might be two times per day given the amount of fat and feeling satiated.
Each meal consists of one of the following items below:

"Hot Mess"- Fry an 80% lean grass-fed ground beef patty in a pan. We use the beef tallow remnants to saute onions and scramble two omega-3 eggs. Season with salt and pepper, top with sliced tomato and avocado, and garnish the whole "mess" with gremolata.
Nutrition notes: The grass-fed beef and eggs are rich in saturated and monosaturated fats and have a good balance of omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids.

Sardine Salad- Mixed greens, tomato chunks, avocado chunks, minced garlic, chopped onions, 18 month aged white cheddar cheese, and 2 cans of wild-caught sardines, seasoned with herb salt and dressed with balsamic vinegar and coconut oil.
Nutrition notes: The wild-caught sardines are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, and the coconut oil is rich in medium chain triglycerides. Olive oil is purposely avoided due to its not-so-flavorable ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 fatty acids.

Beef Stew- Chunks of grass-fed beef pan-seared in pastured ghee, avocado, onions sauteed in beef tallow, beef broth, wine, and herbs. After the wine and broth have reduced, add full-fat, plain yogurt from grass-fed cows, heavy whipping cream, and chopped celery, tomatoes, and carrots. Serve with chopped cilantro garnish.
Nurtition notes: The grass-fed beef, pastured ghee, cream, and yogurt are high in saturated and monosaturated fats and have a good balance of omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids.

Broiled Salmon- Marinate wild-caught salmon in white wine, minced garlic, and spices. Broil the salmon (skin on) with generous slabs of pastured butter.
Nutrition notes: The wild-caught salmon is rich in omega-3 fatty acids.
