Free Paleo Recipes #2
So as I mentioned in my Brower Powder recipe, I was cooking up a mean Paleo chili recipe. Seriously this stuff is amazing. What we need:
- Ground grass-fed beef – 1 lb
- Serrano peppers – 1 or 2 chopped or thinly sliced
- Tomatoes – 5 medium (on the vine type)
- Scallions – optional
- Brower Powder – 6-7 rounded tsp or to taste
- Cilantro
Don’t use serrano’s if you don’t like a lot of heat – but maybe add some more cayenne.
Quick Brower Powder:
- Paprika – 1 tsp
- Onion Powder – 2 tsp
- Minced Garlic – 2 tsp
- Cayenne Pepper – 1 tsp
- Seal Salt – 2 tsp
- Garlic Powder – 1 tsp
- Cinnamon – 1/2 tsp (trust me)
- Fresh cracked pepper – 1/4 to 1/2 tsp
- Thyme – 1/4 tsp (i grind it up with my fingers to break it down)
- Brown the ground meat in a sauce pan
- Blend tomatoes to a sauce – it will be very watery but thats ok, we are going to reduce it
- I use a Vitamix because its awesome, but feel free to use any blender
- Pour the tomatoes into the sauce pan with the meat
- Add Brower Powder, peppers, and stir
- Bring to a boil
- Reduce heat to a medium-low and allow sauce to reduce and thicken (45-60 minutes) or to your liking
- Temperature dramatically affect how fast the sauce thickens
- Scoop into a bowl and top with scallions and cilantro
If you can find the green onions that are very large – they are fantastic, a sweet fresh onion taste. I find them at a local farmers market.
Asian Spice Chili Variation
Add 3 tsp curry powder and replace Thai pepper instead of serrano. If you try this, leave a comment and let me know what you think. If it really sucks then maybe we can save others from suffering.
