Pulled Pork Tacos with Mango Yogurt Slaw
 
Pork Shoulder
1 40 gram bag of The Allergic Chef's Okanagan BBQ Rub
1 Jar of The Allergic Chef's Get Sauced in the Okanagan BBQ Sauce
1 cup of organic no sugar added pineapple juice
2 tbsp Coconut oil
Himalayan Salt to taste
 
Trim the fat off the pork shoulder. Cut into 2 inch cubes. Place into a bowl or zip bag large enough to hold the meat and to mix.  Add bag of Okanagan BBQ Rub. May need more depending how big your pork shoulder is. Thoroughly cover the meat with the Okanagan BBQ Rub. Marinate over night or at lease 2 hours massaging a few times. In your Instant Pot, set to sauté. Wait until it says “hot”. Add meat and brown on all sides. Remove meat from pot and deglaze the bottom with the pineapple juice. Add the Get Sauced in the Okanagan BBQ Sauce. Return the meat to the Instant Pot and mix through the sauce. Lock the lid on and press clear. Press pressure cooker until it is on “hi”. Manually set the time to 1 hour and lock the pressure release. When the time is finished, do not quick release the steam. Let the pin drop on its own. Remove meat with tongs or slotted spoon to a bowl. Press Sauté and reduce sauce by half adding Himalayan Salt to taste. In the mean time, shred the pork. Add shredded pork back to pot and mix or ladle some of the sauce over the meat in the bowl.

Bolognese Sauce with Black Kale

2 medium onions diced
1 kg lean grass fed ground beef
3 L favorite canned crushed tomatoes (homemade is best)
4 tbsp The Allergic Chef's Garlic Blend
3 tbsp The Allergic Chef's Italian Blend
4 bay leaves
1 tbsp coconut oil
1 tsp The Allergic Chef's Black Pepper
2 bunches black kale spine removed and julienned (optional)
Few pinches of The Allergic Chef's Himalayan salt to taste
 
Heat oil in large pot add onions and sweat until transparent. Add ground beef stirring until cooked and not lumpy. Add tomatoes bay leaves half the Garlic Blend, half of the Italian Blend, black pepper and one pinch of salt. Stir, cover and simmer on low heat for 3 hours, stirring periodically. Add black kale and the reminder of the herbs and spices and add the remainder of the salt. Stir once again, cover and simmer for an hour. Take off heat and set aside for an hour stirring and cooling. This will redistribute the flavors. I find this a crucial step when eating the sauce the same day. Meanwhile cook pasta and serve hot.

Cooking tip: Bring a large pot of water to boil. Add enough salt that it tastes like the sea. Add your pasta. Not to worry if you find the water too salty. You will not be consuming the water. Not salting the water makes the pasta bland and can destroy all your hard work that you put into making your sauce

 Moroccan Curry

1 TBSP of olive oil or coconut oil
1 large onion sliced
1 russet potatoes peeled and cubed
2 carrots diced
 2 florets of broccoli
5 -6 mushroom wedged

1/2 cup caned garbonzo beans
1 cup sliced green beans (organic)
1/2 cup fresh/frozen peas

Salt and pepper to taste

Sauté cubed chicken,  onion, mushroom and carrot in oil for about a minute. Add Moroccan Spice and sauté for another minute. Add potatoes, stir. Add stock and simmer until potatoes are semi cooked.

When the potatoes are fully cooked but not falling apart add the peas and salt and pepper to taste.  Serve by its self or over a bed of rice or quinoa.

*If you are using chicken, sauté in the first step.

As the potatoes absorb the water and the curry reduces you could add more stock for a thinner curry.

Gluten Free Holiday Stuffing
Amazing with turkey, chicken, duck, quail, pork roasts and pork chops

1 large bag of gluten-free bread cubes (in the freezer section of your health food store) This is equals 2 loaves of GF bread.
4-5 stocks of celery small dice
1 medium onion small dice
2 tbsp of coconut oil (veg oil or butter)
1/2 cup cooked wild rice
1/2 cup dried fruit blend (cranberries, apricots, peach, pear and apple) diced
2 cups of fresh turkey stock or store bought liquid stock (Imagine brand is good)
2 1/2 Tbsp The Allergic Chef's Gourmet Poultry Seasoning
1 1/2 tsp The Allergic Chef's Pumpkin Spice
Salt & pepper to taste

1) In a hot sauté pan add oil wait until hot mix in diced celery and onion sauté for 1-2 min. 2) Mix in dried fruit sauté for another 3-4 min until fruit is tender. 3) Take off heat; add  Poultry Seasoning and Apple Spice, cooked rice, salt and pepper. 4) In a large bowl mix bread cubes and fruit mix. 5) Pour stock in bowl mixing well, depending how much bread cubes you use you may need to add more stock. 6) Check seasoning add if necessary 7) Place in a oiled oven ware dish with lid. 8) Bake in a preheated 350° F oven for 40-50 min or until hot all the way through. 9) In the last 15-20 min take lid off to brown the top.

It's great to prepare this a day or two ahead of time so you can spend more time with your friends and family and less time in the kitchen. Then bake it the day you need it. I also like baking it in a dish for three reasons 1) It's not food safe to cook stuffing in large raw poultry (turkey)  2) When you cook stuffing in a large bird it takes forever for the stuffing to cook, thus drying the turkey out, and 3) It cuts the turkey cook time by a couple of hours.

You could also substitute regular bread and it tastes great.
