...which is better than punk'd! This time I managed to paleolize (YES it's a word!) a very traditional Finnish food that is EVERY child's favourite. Lihamakaroonilaatikko (translates as a casserole made of minced meat and pasta.) Since there's no need for a human to eat any pasta and lots of reasons to eat none, it's naturally better to just ditch the wheat devil. Before I went fully paleo I used to do this by replacing the pasta with cottage cheese. That's also an excellent choice. But since I've also ditched all dairy (except butter) I had to come up with a new solution. This following was sort of an accident, but aren't the best inventions always? Like jeans? Yep. This is goooood as Jim Carrey would put it. casserole Paleo Casserole
  • minced meat
  • 3-4 organic eggs
  • 1 dl coconut milk
  • 2-3 Tbsps coconut flour
  • mushroom and/or eggplant (aka aubergine - sounds so much better)
  • onion
  • butter, salt, pepper
Chop the onion and fry in butter. Add minced meat and brown. Put the mixture in an (silicone) oven mould. Mix in some roughly chopped mushroom or eggplant: the key is their consistency which is sort of fluffy one. Add a splash of coconut milk, four eggs and couple of spoons coconut flour. Mix well but don't overdo it. Season with salt and pepa. Pour into the mould and note that it's better if the mould isn't full of the mixture but rather it should make a bit thinner, omelette like form. Bake in 200 degrees for about 30 to 40 minutes or until settled. Serve with ketchup! Supa delish! P.S. This one would also LOVE the paleo'd cheesy crust: mixed coconut flour and nutritional yeast on top, drool :-P
