Garlic Blend, Italian Blend, Himalayan Salt & Black Pepper
|
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 In the photo to the right, I’m using gluten free penne |

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. |
