Serves: 4 x 3 blocks protein, 3 blocks carb Ingredients
15oz / 450g lean mince beef (10 protein)
2 eggs (2 protein)
1 cup / 100g onion, diced (2 carb)
2 apples, cut into chunks (4 carb)
2 Tbsp jumbo sultanas (2 carb)
5 cups / 800g cauliflower, small florets (4 carb)
2 Tbsp tomato puree
4 Tbsp beef stock
Black pepper
For the filling
1) Pre heat oven to 180 / 350
2) In a frying pan 'dry fry' (no need to add oil) the beef and onions until browned. Mix in the apples, sultanas, tomato puree, beef stock and season with black pepper.
3) Transfer the beef mixture to an oven proof dish and cover with tin foil. Cook in the oven for 30 mins. Meanwhile....
For the 'mash'
1) Steam the cauliflower florets for 5-8 mins until soft.
2) Then mash, or use food processor for a smoother consistency. Stir in lightly beaten eggs and black pepper.
3) When the beef has had 30 mins, remove from oven, spoon cauli mash on top and then return to oven for a further 15 mins.
Because you don't need to add any oil for cooking (I found enough was released from the beef even though it was lean), remember to balance your meal with a source of fat. We had a paleo nut cookie for dessert.
TIP: If you're not strictly paleo you could also try adding some grated cheese to the cauli mash, although be careful with amounts as this will increase the protein element.
