Or, portion out and refrigerate for up to one week or freeze for up to 6 months. Poila! Notes: Depending on which red wine you choose, the flavor on this could vary substantially. Also, we are missing the depth of flavor that comes from caramelizing the meat in a traditional Beef Bourguignon preparation. If you have the time to sear off the meat and bacon together first, the flavor will be much more developed. If wine is not your thing, maybe start by using half wine and half beef stock, as I ve listed in the recipe above. The final seasoning with salt and pepper is key. This is a technique that comes with practice. Another finishing garnish could be a nice nob of grassfed butter World s Greatest Asian Chicken Salad!!!

5 Sweet Potato, Shrimp and Chicken Chowder Yields: 21P, 18C, 24F 1 pound ground chicken 1 pound wild shrimp, peeled, deveined and sliced in half 6 cups sweet potatoes, medium dice 1 cup sweet potato puree 1 yellow onion (approx. 2 cups), medium dice 2 stalks celery (approx. 2 cups), medium dice 6 cloves fresh garlic, minced 1 quart chicken stock 2 cups light coconut milk 2 tablespoons PALEO GRIND Ga Ga Garlic ¼ bunch Italian parsley, stems removed, leaves finely chopped (save whole sprigs for garnish) Olive oil, as needed 1. Place a stock pot over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil and heat until oil flows like water when pan is tilted back and forth. 2. Add fresh garlic and stir constantly until toasted, approximately 30 seconds. 3. Add onions, celery and sweet potatoes and stir to incorporate olive oil and garlic with veggies. 4. If the pan looks dry, add a bit more olive oil. 5. Season veggies with 1 tablespoon of Ga Ga Garlic and stir to incorporate. Place a lid on the pot and cook for 2 minutes. 6. Season the top side of the ground chicken with ½ tablespoon of Ga Ga Garlic, remove lid from pot, give the veggies a stir, then scrape them to one side of the pot. On the other side, give a quick squirt of olive oil, and place the chicken in the oil, seasoned side down. Now, season the topside with ½ tablespoon Ga Ga Garlic. 7. Use your spoon to chop and fold the chicken into the veggies. Place the lid on the pot and cook for 3-5 minutes. 8. The chicken should be cooked at this point and you should see a lot of moisture dripping from the lid when you remove it from the pot. Allow that moisture to drip into the pot while giving the chicken and veggies a stir. Test one of the sweet potato chunks for doneness. It should give only slight resistance when bitten into. If that is not the case, return lid to pot and continue cooking until it is. 9. Add chicken stock, coconut milk and sweet potato puree and stir until puree is dissolved. 10. Bring the soup to a simmer and check sweet potatoes for doneness. They should be together, but tender. Not falling apart, but not crunchy. You follow? I know you do! 11. Add the shrimp and Italian parsley, stir and cut the heat. The residual heat from the soup will be enough to cook the shrimp. 12. Season the soup one last time to your liking using Ga Ga Garlic. 13.
