Hi All,

I just wanted to share this great recipe that I cooked up for Paleo Hummus. It’s essentially a compilation and rework of a few recipes that I’ve tried. Hope you like it!

Ingredients:

• 1 head of cauliflower
• 2 tsp ground cumin
• ⅓ cup + 2 tbsp olive oil
• ½ tsp salt (optional)
• ¼ tsp ground black pepper
• ½ cup tahini
• 2 tbsp garlic powder
• 2-3 lemons
• 1 red bell pepper
• paprika (for garnish)

Directions:

Wash the cauliflower, core it and cut it into small florets (about the size of a half dollar).

In a bowl mix the cauliflower, cumin, 2 tbsp olive oil, salt and black pepper. Spread the mixture on a baking sheet and bake at 450 F for 30 minutes (keep an eye on this because it tends to smoke a little, you’re looking for the cauliflower to brown a bit).

After it’s done, let it cool slightly then place it into a food processor with tahini, garlic powder and lemon juice and blend till smoothed, while streaming in ⅓ cup of olive oil.

At the same time cut a red bell pepper into four sections, making sure to clean it out. Place it on a baking sheet and broil at 500 F for 10-15 minutes, until the skin starts to bubble. Add it to the food processor and blend until smooth.

Add additional lemon juice, garlic powder and olive oil to taste. Then garnish with paprika.

Enjoy!

Here’s to hoping that the sweet couple in the supermarket who asked me what I’ll be making with organic ground lamb find this recipe – this one’s for you – and everyone else who wants to try a South African style Paleo-perfect dinner:

INGREDIENTS

1 organic butternut
1 pound organic minced ground lamb
1 tablespoon coconut oil
1/2 cup fresh diced tomato
1/4 cup Sundried tomato cut into thin slithers
1 tablespoon fresh chopped basil
2 garlic cloves chopped finely
1 fresh jalapeño chopped finely (if you like it hot!)

RECIPE

In a large pot, bring water to the boil.
Cut the butternut in half (long ways down the middle), remove the pips and place both halves in the boiling water. Cook for about 15 minutes or until tender.

In a large pan, heat the garlic and tomatoes in the coconut oil for about a minute, stirring occasionally. Add the minced ground lamb and cook until brown, stirring often.

Remove the butternut halves when cooked and place on two plates, open side up.

Sprinkle the basil and jalapeños on the cooked lamb. Stir and let simmer for another minute.

Scoop the flavorful lamb mix onto the butternut halves and enjoy.

Tip: A nice glass of Cabernet Sauvignon pairs well with this healthy dish!

Happy Eating,

Camilla Carboni
