MINI TURKEY MEATBALLS

/

I'm a sucker for a meatball and I must admit I've finally done it, I've mastered the Turkey Meatball and it's super fucking delicious. The secret ingredient? Parsnip! Who knew hey?

INGREDIENTS:

1lb super lean turkey mince

1 cup grated parsnip

1/4 cup super finely chopped Onion

2 tbs thyme (fresh or dried)

2 tbs fresh basil chopped

3 tbs chickpea flour

3 tbs Tiger nut flour

1 tsp cracked black pepper


HOW:

- Pre heat oven to 350 F.

- In a pan lightly sauté the grated parsnip for about three mins, then stir through the thyme and onion and continue to sauté for another 2mins.

- Take veggies off the heat and place in a mixing bowl.

- Add all other ingredients to the mixing bowl, stirring thoroughly with a wooden spoon.

- Take mix and make into mini meatballs, I used about a tbs of the mix per ball.

- Once balls are made lightly spray fry pan with coconut oil, once the pan is heated add the meatballs and cook until lightly browned. 

- Take balls out of the fry pan and place on a baking sheet, place balls in the oven for 5-10 mins. This will make sure the balls are cooked all the way through and if you decide to double up and do an extra large mix then this will keep them warm or give you time to make a salad to go with them.

- Serve with tahini or salsa and ENJOY!

GLUTEN FREE - PALEO - VEGAN : BASIL BROCCOLI BREAD

/

I love a veggie substitute in place of flour, my usual suspects are using Cauliflower or Zucchini but with an overload of Broccoli in the fridge, Broccoli Bread sounded like a great idea!

2 Cups of blended Broccoli (I blanched it pre blend so i was easier to blend)
1/2 cup blended flax seeds  
1/4 cup blended chia seeds
1/4 cup coconut flour 
1/4 cup chick pea flour (use coconut flour for paleo version) 
3 tbs coconut oil 
1/4 tsp black cracked pepper
1/4 tsp Himalayan salt 
1 tsp baking powder 
1/2 cup almond milk
2 Tbs of freshly chopped Basil

HOW:

Pre-heat oven to 400deg F.
Combine all ingredients in a bowl until a dough like consistency is formed. 
Place in a bread tin, sprayed lightly with coconut oil and cook for 30-40mins. 

Not exactly a difficult recipe to follow. I served the Broccoli bread with Tahini and it was RIDIC.

PALEO & VEGAN ZUCCHINI COCONUT BREAD

Smashed Avo is something us Aussies do best, sorry it really is true. 
So being a gluten-free, grain-free, egg-free fitness freak with eyes on a bangin' bikini bod this is something I miss out on until TODAY. 

ZUCCHINI COCONUT BREAD! 
Inspired by @wheretogowhattoeat, I tweaked it to suit my allergies and yahhhhs!
I did it.
It actually has the texture of REAL bread.
It's vegan, paleo, low fat, lowcarb and completely guilt free. 

RECIPE: 

1 med zucchini grated (once grated put in fabric and drain out any moisture) 1/2 cup blended flax seeds  
1/4 cup blended chia seeds
1/4 cup coconut flour 
1/4 cup chick pea flour (use coconut flour for paleo version) 
3 tbs coconut oil 
1/4 tsp black cracked pepper
1/4 tsp Himalayan salt 
1 tsp baking powder 
1/2 cup almond milk

HOW:

Pre-heat oven to 400deg F.
Combine all ingredients in a bowl until a dough like consistency is formed. 
Place in a bread tin, sprayed lightly with coconut oil and cook for 35-45mins. 
If you don't have a bread tin, why not make rolls? Roll dough into palm size balls and cook on a baking tray for 20mins (cook time will vary on size so check frequently after 15mins.) 

Top with smashed avocado, freshly chopped radishes and hemp seeds. Ahhhhhh hell yessss!
