Episode 10: Meat and Seafood

Taco Salads

Ingredients:

• 1lb Ground Bison
• 1/4 C tomato paste diluted with water to equal the 1 1/2 C mark
• 3 T C Organic Taco Seasoning*
• 3 T onions finely diced
• 1 cup of raw grass-fed cheddar, shredded

* You can make your own seasoning. Blend paprika, garlic, black pepper, oregano, cumin, and your favorite chillies. I will sometimes use chipotle. 

Directions:

1. Sautéed ground bison about 3 minutes until you have some juice in the pan. Bison is lean so there will not be very much but it will keep the onions from sticking. Cook 2-3 minutes
2. Add tomato sauce mixture with Taco Seasoning and simmer on low for 10-20 minutes or until most of the liquid is gone.

Coconut Shrimp Curry*

Ingredients:

• 1 coconut
• 1-1/2 C water/chicken broth
• 1/2 lb of shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 6-8 baby potatoes, whole
• 1 leek or onion of choice, minced
• 1 carrot, sliced
• 2 Kefir lime leaves
• 1 jalapeño, finely diced
• 1 jalapeño, finely sliced
• 1 C broccoli, bite size
• 1 Bear lime, juiced
• 3-10 basil Leaves
• 6-8 Crimini mushrooms, thinly sliced
• 3 fresh garlic cloves, thinly sliced
• cilantro, green onion,  or basil to top

Directions:

1. Blend fresh coconut meat and water in a mixer (Vita mixer if you have one) to make the milk for the curry. Once emulsified add 1/2 the lime juice and blend
2. Add coconut milk to a large pot with Kefir lime leaves and heat. Once warm, slowly add water or chicken broth to curry until desired consistency and blend fully.
3. Add basil, potatoes, leeks, carrots and half of a sliced jalapeño. Cook for 20-25 minutes. 
4. Add remaining lime juice to shrimp pieces and set aside for 5-10 minutes.
5. Add broccoli, green beans and shrimp and cook for 3-5 minutes.
6. Top with fresh basil, green onions, or cilantro and thinly sliced mushrooms.
