Happy Friday - Paleo Lasagne!

Happy Friday! I love Fridays - glass of wine and relaxing without work in the morning. Bliss...

So this was a bit of an experiment. I tried to make bechamel sauce from coconut milk - FAIL! It didnt work at all... so I threw it out.

Anyway here is how I made the rest.

Paleo Lasange

1lb minced beef
2 x cloves garlic sliced
4 x slices of bacon cubed
3 x button mushrooms sliced
1 x large aubergine sliced lengthwise
1 x onion chopped
50 g Lactose Free Cheese
1 tin of tomatoes
1tbs oregano
1 tbs parsley
Black pepper
1 tbs coconut oil

Heat the oil and fry the bacon, onions and garlic until soft
Add the mushrooms and fry for 3 minutes
Remove from pan and set aside
Fry beef in pan until brown
Add vegetables back with the meat and add tomatoes and herbs. Fry for 5 minutes
Layer the sliced aubergine in bottom of a lasagne dish and top with meat mixture.
Alternate until mixture is used up.

Pop into oven at 200C for approx 30 minutes until aubergine is tender.
Allow to sit for 10 mins before serving
Serve with salad and sweet potato chips and a large glass of Pinot Grigio (optional!)

Curried Cauliflower

I haven't really been experimenting much this week but I had some leftover cauliflower and no mayo to make salad, so I decided to try something different.

1 x courgette sliced
1/2 head of cauliflower
1 onion
1 clove garlic
Curry Powder
1 tbs Coconut Oil

Heat the oil in a pan and add the onion and garlic and fry for 3-4 minutes
Add the courgette and fry for about 5 minutes until all the vegetables are softening.
In the meantime steam your cauliflower florets for 10 minutes or until tender.
Add to the pan with other vegetables.
Add 1 to 2 tbs of curry powder depending on how spicy you want it.
Stir well and fry for about 2 minutes

Serve.

Paleo "Potato Salad"

This potato-less salad is yummy. There are many variations of this and you add anything you like but this time I have added bacon. Its a great addition to any salad or sometimes I add it to dinner when my other half has potatoes.

5 florets of cauliflower
4 pieces of fried bacon
Mayonnaise
Pepper
Parsley

Steam the cauliflower for 10 minutes or until tender
Run under cold water to stop the cooking process and to cool down
Break the cauliflower into small pieces into a bowl
Add the rest of ingredients and mix until all incorporated.

enjoy!!
