The Contest:
Every Saturday I publish a Primal Blueprint recipe, but this Saturday is different. This Saturday I want you to point the Mark’s Daily Apple community to a delicious, must-try recipe you’ve found in the interwebs. In other words, include a link in the comment board below to a Primal meal you recommend. The link needs to be to another site, not MDA, and the recipe needs to be decidedly Primal; no vegetable oil fried wheat cakes topped with sugary sugar. Also, please include the name and/or a brief description of the dish.
Feel free to link to your own blog if you’re a Primal foodie blogger.
By the end of this contest the comment board will be a resource for the community, with (hopefully!) hundreds of links to Primal bloggers around the world that are dishing out healthy meal ideas.
Note: All comments with links have to be manually approved by a moderator before they are published in the comment board. Your patience is appreciated.
The Deadline:
September 19, 10:00 a.m. PST. You’ve got the weekend to find and publish your favorite Primal recipe link in the comment board.
Who is Eligible:
Anyone in the world that knows how to copy and paste a Primal recipe link to a comment board.
How a Winner is Chosen:
A random drawing will be held among all entrants. Check back on Monday to see all the submissions!

Ya beat me to it. I’ll have to come up with another recipe. This stuff is the bomb! I’ve made it many times & my husband will still eat it!(He’s picky sometimes)I’ve made it with macadamia nuts, pecans & coconut oil. The possibilities are endless. I’ve yet to try it with chocolate. It doesn’t need it.
Yum! Cereal is the one thing my daughters miss sooo much since we’ve made the leap to this lifestyle. I can’t wait to surprise them with this some morning!
I’ve made another one of her breads that uses less egg & no coconut flour. (grain-free sandwich bread) so nice to see one of her recipes without agave nectar & grapeseed oil!
When I went gluten free years ago I learned that cucumber slices and green peppers make excellent “vehicles” for all kinds of yummy things, like egg salad, tuna salad, lunchmeat…etc.
My favorite primal meal is the Meatza: A pizza made from meat “crust” with whatever toppings you enjoy. I like to put olives, mushrooms and cheese on mine but I often mix it up.
Well I love this combination, broccoli and apple just seem to go well together for me… sometimes I throw in a little bit of kiwi, almost turning the salad into a dessert! It´s great, you MUST try it: https://mypaleokitchen.blogspot.com/2008/02/broccoli-and-apple-salad.html
Grok on, I hope I win!
It’s a breakfast pizza!! A few variations that I typically do are: grass-fed beef or bison in place of the sausage, coconut oil instead of olive oil, and in lieu of the spaghetti sauce I’ll use some homemade pico de gallo. I love this recipe because it is really easy to change and scale up and down depending on how many you are feeding.
Except I swap around the meats by using 1lb grass-fed ground beef and 1lb of Italian chicken sausage. I also sub green chile powder for the red pepper flakes (my hubby is from New Mexico – if it has green chile, he’ll eat it!). I cook them up and store in the fridge. They are tasty cold when I need a little something, or great heated and topped with marinara when I have time for an actual meal.
Can you believe it, I could not find ONE primal recipe for a proper caesar salad? So I had to write my own (by which I mean, Alton Brown’s without the croutons).
This is seriously the best recipe I’ve found since going Primal, Latest in Paleo’s Pho or Vietnamese Beef Soup. How can you go wrong slow cooking a chuck roast, short ribs, AND beef bones in one pot?
Thank you so much April! Tom Yung soup is one of my favourites! especially in winter when feeling a bit under the weather, it makes me feel better (the chicken stock perhaps?) I love adding a ton of cabbage to mine. I never had a recipe before & always made a packaged version – so I’ve gone without for several years now. Thank you I’m gonna make this alot this winter…
A fantastic blend of South American spices and herbs mixed into a thick coconut milk based sauce and served over pan-seared chicken breast. Trust me, this is one of those recipes you will come back to many times! If you are really feeling primal, feel free to throw some quality grass-fed butter right into the sauce as well!
As someone who is venturing into paleo after spending close to two years as a vegeterian (I know, I know…), this chicken recipe looks amazing and I can’t wait to try it! Thanks for posting!
This is a recipe for a whole chicken cooked in coconut milk. It is really delicious. We often make it on sundays and eat the leftovers for lunch for the next few days. It suggests serving it on rice, but that is totally unnecessary.
https://www.janssushibar.com/?p=11683
These bacon wrapped chicken livers are amazing!! I found them through Chowstalker.com. I am a cook at a health food coop and I made these there to sell and I tell ya…they swayed even the “I-HATE-liver!-I will-never-eat-it” crowd. I literally saw some faces light up!! I am always looking for was to use the offal, because usually it gets thrown away (SHAMEFUL, I know) and I hate to see any animal food tossed. I have tried things in the past that I thought were great, (however, I like liver; I grew up eating offal) but NO GO for most folks. These babies went quick!! I will definitely make these again. I actually got a “request” from a customer to make them
again!! I did use a local brand of BBQ sauce that’s really “clean”. You’ll have to find or make one on your own. I think I will make these for dinner tonight! Yum.
this is the best, easiest primal pizza out there . . . buffalo chicken pizza. and the cave girl even makes a ranch sauce topping out of ghee (YEY for ghee!!!)
There are so many good recipes out there it’s hard to pick. However, to me, this recipe tastes like Love and Happiness. Paleo Chicken Bastila — https://www.theclothesmakethegirl.com/2011/08/02/paleo-chicken-bastila/ —
It does take a commitment of time, but it isn’t hard although the ingredient list is long and there are several steps to the process. Consider it a special occasion dish.
This is one of my favorite breakfasts, made of leftovers from one of my favorite, simple dinners. It’s an unusual omelette, sweet and Indian-spiced, packed with protein, fat -(including coconut!) and safe starch. Perfect for an active day!
I LOVE keema. I LOVE sweet potato. Never thought of putting them together in an omelet before. Sounds gorgeous! Of course… this means I need to make enough keema that we have leftovers. A rarity in our house!
I love French cuisine, everything is all creamy and buttery, and its easy to substitute traditional breadcrumbs in breading (which is quite popular) with ground almonds or dessicated coconut, so bon appetit 🙂
I have made this once. I liked it. The “gravy” is delish.
Not a Primal site, but I first found some flax
“bread” and other low-carb Primal/Paleo friendly recipes here before I stumbled across MDA.
Margarita Pork Chops! I love this one! It was recently posted on a site I visit OFTEN, Purely Primal: Cooking with the Good Stuff. I like to sneak in primal meals when I cook for friends, just to show them how awesome the food is. My husband, father-in-law, and good buddy LOVED this one. But then again, they call pork “vitamin P”…so I’m pretty sure they would have liked anything with pork.
Braised beef short ribs with cabbage. I have made this recipe several times and it is so easy and so delicious. Just switch the veggie oil for olive or coconut.
This one is from Sarah Fragoso–quick, very easy and delicious. She suggests you pressure cook the sweet potatoes but since I don’t have a pressure cooker and I love mashed sweet potatoes, I buy a huge bag every week and bake them in aluminum foil ahead of time for about an hour at 425. I add heavy cream, Kerrygold grassfed butter and cinnamon to my mashed sweet potatoes.
Recipe is about 3/4 way down page. Article a good read — everything recommended not completely primal, though this recipe is. For your convenience, here is it:
Meffins
Makes about 1 dozen
1 pound ground pastured pork (other ground meats work too)
12 pastured eggs, beaten Salt and pepper to taste
about 1 cup cheese, shredded or crumbled
1 cup cottage cheese
1 cup chopped veggies of choice (onion, garlic, peppers, carrots, green onions, are all good)
Herbs and spices of choice (sage, thyme, rosemary, garlic powder, onion, powder, chili powder, etc.)
1/2 cup Greek or drained full fat yogurt (cultured!)
2 tbl sour cream (fermented!)
1/2 cup berries (frozen raspberries are cheaper and work great)
1/4 cup chopped walnuts
Mix it all together (or spoon the rest over the walnuts) and let sit for 10 minutes. It’s a fantastic dessert or lunch without any sweetener.
I hate eggs, but like this so much I make them about once a week! And I love that by changing up the seasonings or cheese you can have a different flavor.
Just made this (though a bit differently) for a food swap today! And GUESS WHAT?! Instead of coconut oil, I actually used GHEE – how perfect! It was really, really delicious and I think the ghee gave it a richer taste than the coconut oil actually. Here are the ingredients I ended up using:
-dried unsweetened coconut
-sliced almonds (they give a really great cereal texture)
-pecans
-walnuts
-sesame seeds
-ghee
-TINY bit of honey
-cinnamon
-vanilla extract
Sooooooo good – and now I get to share it with people who aren’t Paleo but this granola tastes 10x better than the oat crap anyway!
I’ve been coffee free since starting the ‘challenge’ ’cause I don’t want to do dairy. No dairy, nasty coffee. But I miss my coffee. I’ll try your recipe and see if I can tolerate coffee without sugar and cream. Thank you!!
I didn’t have any dates on hand to make date syrup so I made an unsweetened version of this. Since I’ve been drinking my coffee black, I didn’t mind the missing sweetness. It was super spicy and delicious.
We’ve been making our own sauerkraut. It’s easy to do and is awesome because it’s always there if you haven’t planned a veggie to go with your protein for a given meal. If you’re at all dubious about making this, I recommend checking out the book Wild Fermentation from the library – the one with the DVD. The DVD is a workshop of him making sauerkraut and answered a lot of the questions I had.
I’ve made the “noodles” out of zucchini as recommended, out of spaghetti squash, out of cabbage, carrots, bell peppers, and all kinds of summer squashes. The more, the merrier! I usually make the recipe with shrimp instead of duck (because I alway have a big supply of frozen shrimp). It is SO good.
I love venison backstrap. This is a great recipe for preparing it. I like it lightly seasoned with Cumin, and black pepper fried in bacon grease too! Yum!
Grain free artichoke sun-dried tomato stuffing. This uses a grain-free bread to make the “croutons” the stuffing is then made from. I LOVE this stuffing, which my mother-in-law makes with sourdough bread, but took it and primal-ized it.
My husband said he might even like the grain-free version better than the one he grew up with, so I count that as a win.
Nothing say Primal like Dulse. Its a seaweed that grows where I grew up – Atlantic Canada. I look forward to going home during the right tides to snag myself as much of this treat as I can fit in my suitcase. I don’t care if all my clothes smell like the ocean.
Good dulse is purple when dried and has a slightly sweet taste that you really appreciate when living a no sugar added lifestyle. Those not brought up with it are best to introduce it as flakes and work up to munching on the leaves but primal people I think are more adventerous and might go right for the full leaf.
1 large avocado, mashed
2 tsp dulse flakes
1-2 tbsp finely chopped red onion
4 cloves garlic
2 tbsp lemon juice
salt and cayenne pepper to taste
Combine ingredients and mix well. Let sit refrigerated for at least an hour to let the taste of the seasonings fully emerge.
Garden Salad with Dulse and Walnuts
2 large handfuls arugula or other salad greens
1/2 cup dulse fronds, picked over and torn into bite-size pieces, or 1/4 cup dulse flakes
Sea salt to taste
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
Freshly ground black pepper to taste
1/4 cup roasted walnut halves
Arugula blossoms for garnish (optional)
Place the arugula and dulse in a salad bowl and toss with salt. Drizzle on the oil and toss again. Add the lemon juice and pepper and give a final toss. Taste and adjust the seasonings. Garnish with walnuts and arugula blossoms if using. Serve immediately.
Oh, thanks for that one! Getting a quick breakfast for my husband has been a challenge and these can be made in advance and zapped. Getting him to fully accept primal has been a challenge, but now I can use his love of chorizo to tempt him into my cave a little further. ;o)
I’ve spent all afternoon bookmarking exceptional recipes! Good job, guys!
And just to be clear, ghee is my favorite fat in the world! I can’t do butter (dairy intolerance) but can handle the joys of ghee with no problems. What an awesome prize!! 🙂
CHEESY MARINARA WITH CUBED BEEF!!! -https://buzzingash.com/2011/06/09/cheesy-marinara-with-cubed-beef/
I made it up myself, it’s basically a savory steak, cut up and swimming in a creamy tomato sauce with your choice of soft or crunchy veggies topped with delicious Greek Feta cheese…
Hope you try it, in my opinion, it is the best!
A carrot cake smoothie that my toddler LOVES in the mornings! Gives you the sweet taste of carrot cake without excess sugar (and for the sweetener I simply use 2tsp local honey for this recipe.
I’m always looking for great sides for our grilled and broiled meats. This recipe for Butternut Squash with Walnuts, Ginger and Vanilla is scrumptious – and a great dish for fall. I would almost serve it as a dessert – if you roast the squash the effect is very sweet. Great for people making the transition to paleo!
This is a video and written instructions on how to make COCONUT MILK from packaged dried unsweetened shredded coconut.
There are various recipes on the web. This is a basic one to start with. I eventually made a simple cone shaped filter bag out of no-see-um fabric (used for tent windows me thinks) that works really well.
These are so good. Still more sugar on the candied ginger than I would like, but I’m definitely going to make them instead of gingerbread (with flour and Crisco – I can’t believe I used to do that) for the holidays.
https://www.elanaspantry.com/paleo-bread/#more-27979 someone else may have put this up too… but I had to add another ‘vote’ for it. I think this bread is saving my relationship. Since we are both going gluten-free and I am transitioning more and more to Paleo… (not sure I can get him to give up rice, made the switch to brown rice.) This recipe allows me to quit buying Udi’s (the best GF bread we found). Plus, he says he likes it better than Udi’s. And all you need to do is throw some bacon and a fried egg on a couple slices and you have one excellent sandwich.
Bacon and sausage wrapped Scotch Eggs. https://fastpaleo.com/bacon-wrapped-scotch-eggs/
Hard boiled eggs wrapped in sausage and bacon and baked. Yum.
Also this is a site I visit several time a week for great user uploaded recipes.
If that doesn’t get your attention and your appetite then I don’t know what to tell you. Tender tongue, salty bacon, caramelized shallots, and turnips to soak up all the goodness. This makes a soothing and lovely fall or winter soup. The Nose to Tail cookbook isn’t 100% primal but it is a great ‘odd parts’ cookbook.
I should add that THIS recipe is totally primal–there are other recipes in the book that have grains or beans in them, but on the whole this book is about cooking with animal fats and featuring rather than hiding organ meats and other odd cuts.
Twice Cooked Chicken and Cabbage Stir Fry from Life as a Plate is my go-to meal when I don’t know what to cook. My husband will eat it every week and never complain. We sometimes add 1/4 cup chopped raw cashews as well.
Spaghetti Squash-sagna. Sausage, Spaghetti Squash, Tomato Sauce, Spinach and Cheese make this is a family favorite. And it’s fantastic with or without the cheese.
The tenth recipe down on the page is for coconut flour drop biscuits. In my search for a few alternative bread dishes I found this and they were easy and fast to make. We serve them with a little homemade blackberry syrup or just butter and loved them.
What to do with Kholrabi? I was getting kholrabi in my CSA basket earlier this year and I couldn’t figure out what to do with it. I found this recipe for kholrabi puree online and it was primal friendly and totally awesome. Definitely a keeper! https://www.farmgirlfare.com/2007/11/recipe-what-to-do-with-kohlrabi-puree.html
This is a wrap that hold up to anything. I make them thin & get about 10 out of this recipe. They are great for tacos, hotdogs(for those that eat hotdogs it tastes like pigs in a blanket) or any sandwich or crepe recipe. I bet they’d be good for enchiladas although I’ve never used them for that. https://cavegirlinthekitchen.blogspot.com/2010/04/basic-crepeswraps.html
This is so yummy, a perfect primal version of one of my favorite comfort foods! With an almond flour crust, and filling of chicken, butternut squash, celery, and mushrooms….you really can’t go wrong here.
THIS recipe does call for ghee which is completely appropriate given today’s sumptuous prize. I haven’t tried it yet (and I think I’d not cook the cashews for 40 looong minutes)but I’m definitely printing it out so I don’t forget it. Easy to do with all these links!
Being a college student, a skillet and a stove top are all that I have to really cook with most of the time. Chicken breasts + herbs/spices/extra virgin olive oil are pretty much my staple foods, due to how economical and great-tasting they are.
I love Chipotle, and I especially love their barbacoa. Here’s how to make mass quantities of it at home on the cheap! I usually make barbacoa salads with arugala, avocado, salsa, and red onion.
I haven’t actually tried this one but I kind of want to, I’m just don’t have the guts! 😛
Raw fish at sushi bars I have done and very rare (blue) steak but I’m still a bit too squeamish for raw ground beef! If any of you have tried this let me know how it went.
This is one of those recipes that is shockingly easy to make and delicious. There is a lot of chopping involved, but otherwise, very easy. You’ll be amazed that you didn’t have to get this in a restaurant.
https://www.elanaspantry.com/paleo-bread/ Paleo Bread – easy to whip together in no time, relatively high in protein, and perfect for those times when you have a massive bread craving, but don’t want to give in to wheat bread.
Homemade roast beef – made with nothing but salt, pepper, olive oil, and love. https://www.thehungrymouse.com/2009/03/09/make-your-own-deli-style-roast-beef/
I cook this and freeze it, and depending on how much I’ve trained and walked during the day, I will eat up to 2 pounds at dinner. If I eat Boar’s head “organic” grain fed deli roast beef, it would cost me 11 bucks a pound; homemade roast beef from grass fed cattle never costs me over 5 dollars a pound.
They add onion powder and garlic powder in this recipe but you could feasibly make this however you’d like with whatever spices. I like mine spiceless so I can taste the meaty flavour – this comes from a former vegetarian 😉
A fall/winter staple at our house is Beef Carbonnade – Belgian beef stew with beef, beer and onions. We’ve slightly adapted this recipe, from Cook’s Illustrated originally, to be fully primal – just use arrowroot instead of all-purpose wheat flour to thicken, and use a healthy fat of your choice in place of the vegetable oil (ghee, coconut oil, lard, whatever!). If you can’t have gluten (I can’t), sub red wine for the beer. Serve by itself or with cauli mashed potatoes.
A little bit of work, but this Fried Eggs With Caramelized Squash and Tomatillo Salsa from Chef Tony Maw’s Craigie on Main in Boston is perfect for a fancy brunch!
In the process, I learned about Gut and Psychology Syndrome (GAPS) and the Specific Carbohydrate Diet (SCD). I don’t have any known gut diseases (myself or in my family), but I totally agree that what we eat affects both our gut health (I’m sure mine needs improvement) and mental health (probably could use some help there, as well), so surely the information available on this topic is worth checking into (even if I don’t have any symptoms of disease – as a prevention measure).
The recommended diet seems very much inline with primal / paleo / ancestral, so I’m interested in learning more. 🙂
SCD for sure is very much in line with primal / paleo / ancestral diets. I started following the SCD in Jan 2010 for IBS. It was someone on the SCD Facebook group that pointed me to this website 2 months ago. It was nice to find another big community of people eating the same way I do! And MORE RECIPES that I don’t have to convert. Yay! 🙂
Here is one of my old recipes. For those who still want to have “pasta” once in a while. It is working perfect in my primal diet. This one is a mix of fats and bright colored vegetables.
Another warning: I love their recipes, but they do go way over the top on the ‘food porn’ stuff. Brits just aren’t as uptight about that stuff as we are. 😉 I love these for breakfast:
This is a spanish tortilla recipe. At first, I admit, I was not sure if this would be good or if I could successfully cook it. I tried it and it was AMAZING!!! This was a recipe that really showed me that you can have wonderfully tasting foods on the paleo diet. You just have to be open and creative. And I have Sara from everyday paleo to thank for helping me learn how to cook. Her recipes are amazing!
This was the recipe that allowed me to convince my mom to give paleo a try at least. Still a long way to go, but well, Southern ladies need their grits and this showed her that anything is possible “even with paleo”.
It’s also great because since I’m living in Japan and ovens are rare to have at home, the more recipes without needing ovens the better!
Paleo Grits from the upcoming Paleo Comfort Foods book (the recipes is from a “sneak peek” of the book.
This is very easy to prepare recipe for chicken with bacon and asparagus. Clean-up is next to nothing and the chicken comes out buttery and moist, with a lovely bacon flavor!
Amazing coconut flour pancakes. When you use a fatty brand of coconut milk they’re surprisingly filling. I love to add cocoa powder to the recipe then top with strawberries, or toss in a good bit of cinnamon and ~10 drops of stevia (measurement is for the half-recipe I make for myself)for several servings of dessert. https://www.nourishingdays.com/2010/07/fluffy-coconut-flour-pancakes/
That is the link to the paleo hamburger helper thread of NerdFitness. It has a link to my blog. Go make it. Try it (I have since determined that it is even better with about a tablespoon of smoked paprika). mmmm. And it fills the hamburger helper crave that I sometimes get.
I recently made this (with slight modifications to use veggies I *had*) and it was fantastic to have ready food daily for breakfast, which is when I least feel like cooking. So, so convenient and tasty!
When you get your side or 1/4 of beef this fall (ours is coming Monday!) here is the best way I’ve found to use the heart- make Peruvian Antichuros, grilled heart kabobs.
These egg, bacon and spinach cakes are super easy to make, are delicious hot out of the oven and just as good cold out of the fridge. They have saved me as a quick snack or lunch on many an occasion. Thanks Sarah Fragoso! https://everydaypaleo.com/2010/03/24/egg-cupcakes/
I always feel very primal eating fish still with their heads. Also it’s very easy. basically stuff a trout with green onion and lemon, wrap bacon around it and tie the bacon on with butchers twine and barbecue. Really good.
This curried cod with greens from Cosmopolitan Primal Girl’s blog looks amazing! And you know, it’s funny I think I remember stumbling across her blog a while back and thinking she was nuts to say that grains were bad for you… back when I thought grains were the fruit of life. I’ll take my curried cod with a side of humble pie, me thinks. haha!
The wonderful FREE Cattail. Shows you how to collect, clean and fix Cattail Root. I have collected young Cattail during the spring and eaten them raw on salad. VERY good. This link will tell you how to cook them so they are like “mashed potatoes” and also slice and FRIED like fried potatoes. Hope you all give mucking around for Cattails a try.
Use a tbsp or two of bacon fat instead of vegetable oil, and skip the sugar – it’s not needed with all the green pepper. Add jalapenos, chili powder, cayenne to change it up the spice a bit.
Here’s my rendition of a recipe I found online. It’s a little odd with the ingredients (I got a few head shakes at it) but it was a winner in a local recipe contest!
Ground Lamb and sweet potato sheppards pie, made this several times. It’s easy to experiment with various spices if you wish. It’s also inexpensive and feeds a family of four for at least 2 dinners. In the context of the volume of the overall recipe, this calls for a very small amount of flour (2 TBSP) to thicken things up a bit. I usually omit the flour and and a bit less stock and it still tastes great.
I buy chipotle peppers fresh or canned in water, then make the adobo sauce myself (tomato paste, cumin, chile pepper, turmeric, olive oil, salt); ketchup is either homemade or just extra tomato paste; and of course, no hamburger buns.
This is one of my favorite ways to consume ground beef. I recently realized how much I like the flavor of curried dishes and it’s excellent with the tomato and broth based sauce.
What’s more primal feeling than eating with your hands!
I love this recipe(although I used the oven not a crock pot),
I am a huge hot wings fan and these satisfy that craving and I love eating meat off the bone….I’m reading more and more how beneficial it is for us.
It’s hard to make a bad crab cake because if all else fails, you can just eat the lump crab straight from the container. There are a lot of good crab cake recipes out there but this is the first one I’ve found that tastes just like the ones we used to get back in the day at Lexington Market in Baltimore. How appropriate that the recipe is called “Maryland Crab Cakes – The Real Ones”
I love this recipe. It’s from the book mentioned in the link and I especially enjoy making it for friends after we have the “what do you eat” discussion. 🙂
Well, I don’t have my own website, but I regularly post my recipes on MDA’s forum because I absolutely love cooking. I have my own personal “Food Porn” thread on the forums, but since I can’t link to MDA, I copied and pasted my recipe from my Food Porn thread to another forum. It’s a recipe for Braised BBQ’d Beef Short Ribs.
They’re pretty good and they’re 100% Paleo/Primal. If anyone’s interested in checking out my Food Porn thread for some other ideas, give this link a look:
Thai red curry paste (Has 1 Tbs of brown sugar in the recipe but I never include it and the curry is still delicious!!) Also, obviously use the tomato paste option rather than ketchup, which never has a place in Thai food, or just about any food for that matter.
I started my primal recipe trek right here…which sent me to lots of primal food links…like https://www.elanaspantry.com/paleo-bread/ and of course George at https://www.civilizedcavemancooking.com/ his site will make U want to climb thru the screen then there’s https://fastpaleo.com/ they R a recipe sharing site so there’s always lots of goodies….BUT i also like to think outside the box & forage thru the Internet for Really Good Chef’s who believe in local & sustainable cooking like Tom Kitchen a Scottish chef his site is gourmet, but simple ingredients. There’s some dishes that don’t conform to Primal, but things like https://living.scotsman.com/tom-kitchin/Tom-Kitchin-recipes-Asparagus-hollandaise.6760740.jp?articlepage=1 R right on the money. Primals interested in offal could find lots of great recipes. I am doing the Challenge and am having so much fun trying a lot of new dishes.
here is a link to one of my favorite dinners! its sweet from the yams and rich from the curry so perfect for after a workout. https://www.tastypaleo.com/recipe/1468/
I truly do not like spaghetti squash. Ever tried making pasta with slightly dried zucchini strips? Put a hot topping on them and they kinda cook themselves, too perfect.
Try Spaghetti Squash with Basil Pesto! 1 box frozen spinach drained & squeezed, 1/2 c grated parm, 1/2 c olive oil, 1/3 c fresh basil leaves (or more!), 1/4 cup pine nuts, S&P,1/4 tsp ground anise seed (optional) – put it all in a food processor and blend away! Scrape sides of bowl after 30 seconds and process a bit more adding more EVOO if you want, to desired consistency. This stuff will literally melt over your hot spaghetti squash! Enjoy!
The hardest thing for me to give up was the sugary sweet desserts. I found this recipe and have modified it slightly. My wife and I doubled the ingredients for the crust as suggested, but also add cinnamon and coconut to the almond meal crust.
For our “sugar” we have tried many things. Of course the more traditional tasting cheesecake requires sweetener, but we fell in love with our berry blend. We just threw a bunch of strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, and a few blueberries into the blender. If your berries are not ripe, add water 1 tsp at a time until the fruit is blended smooth and add to the “batter”
Also, to make it a “real” dessert, we made a ganache….just chop up your favorite high quality dark chocolate. Heat cream until hot (not boiling– you can use the microwave, but I don’t think grok had one)pour 1/2 of the cream onto the chopped chocolate and stir…add additional cream to make sure all the chocolate is melted, but it should not be too liquidy. After the cheesecake is cool, dump on the chocolate and smooth with spoon, and refrigerate….yum.

(you have to scroll a bit to find this one among the other cabbage recipes, so I pasted it here; it’s SO good!! I loved having it with a cheese omelette for breakfast (: I left out the sugar because it’s totally not necessary, and I also think I used some chicken broth instead of the wine.)
Braised Red Cabbage
1 red cabbage, sliced
3 onions, sliced thinly
2 tbsp. butter
4 apples, peeled, cored and sliced
4 whole cloves
1/2 c. red wine vinegar
1/2 bottle dry red wine
1/2 tsp. sugar
Dash salt
Melt butter in large saucepan. SautÈ onions, then add cabbage, apples, sugar and salt, cloves. Mix well . Add vinegar and wine. Cover and cook over low heat until cabbage is soft and liquid has absorbed, stirring occasionally (approximately 1 1/2 hours). Serve with pork or chicken.
It’s time for melons around here and there’s nothing better than a really fragrant melon for dinner, with tomatoes, olives and tarragon. Or with salt, basil and prosciutto. For the sweet-toothed, you can amend the second recipe for dessert as follows: cantaloupe with salt, olive oil and torn spearmint leaves. Use a little bit of a large-crystal, flaky salt such as Maldon’s or Fleur de sel. Table salt or kosher will not work. https://ericademane.com/2005/08/15/the-salty-side-of-cantaloupe/
(For the last recipe on that page you’d have sub kelp or konnyaku noodles, though I haven’t checked whether either of those are primal)
Chicken Pot Pie, because my daughter LOVESES it. She says it is even better than regular chicken pot pie and she is 9 years of tell-it-like-it-is in a bucket of cute.
I have had this tilapia with mango salsa 3 times in the past month, and it is awesome. I actually just mix the marinade ingredients, heated on the stove just a bit, and pour them over all my tilapia filets, each of which is in its own little aluminum foil boat. I close down the foil and stick them all in the oven, and when they come out, I will pour the extra sauce from within the foil packets over whichever steamed vegetable I’ve decided to throw on the plate with this, whether broccoli/cauliflower, asparagus, or whatever tickles the fancy at the time 🙂 I have also substituted butter in place of the oil on the fish “marinade,” for a different taste, and it was just as awesome.
I started up a blog which is more of a clearinghouse for my own parenting thoughts than an actual Paleo blog, but a while back I threw together an egg bake for supper that went over really well with the whole family so I wrote it down on my blog, along with some ideas on how to customize it. My recipes are more like guidelines, really, but hopefully there’s enough direction in there to be useful. https://crunchyprogressiveparenting.blogspot.com/2011/09/easy-and-super-nutritious-meal-egg-bake.html
Oooh, so many new recipes and ideas! Looking forward to trying many of them out. I love almonds for a quick pick me up, but sometimes I want more spice! This recipe uses coconut nectar to add a little sweetness and coconut aminos to sub for the soy sauce. Both can be obtained thru Amazon. Enjoy!
NOTE: Her recipe calls for dusting the ribs in flour. Just skip that. The sauce won’t be as thick, but it’s still fabulous. I also opted for bacon fat instead of olive oil. Just my preference.
This is a great carnitas recipe, if you read the method it’s recommended that you crisp it up in a pan after it is cooked and that is where it gets good!!! This is my blog and I am enjoy cooking and eating primal and want to share it with people.
Pho – for some reason I’ve had a mad craving for this lately. Hopefully someone hasn’t already posted it. I’m also a big fan of stuff I make my husband.
I’ve been REALLY trying to move into eating offal, and was searching out some chicken liver pate recipes the other day to dip my toe into this. I searched dozens, and this one looked the best to me!
A favorite I come back to time and again, particularly in winter. A stewy blend of chicken, curry, coconut milk, veggies and peanut butter (great without peanut butter for a change of pace as well). Hearty enough that spooning over a bed isn’t really needed, but when I do, I choose riced cauliflower.
One of my all-time favorites from Sarah Fragoso’s website. I have a few recipes I’ve created too, such as Thai Red Curry Marinated Chicken Breasts with Asian Slaw, but I don’t have them published on the web so I have no links to provide. I’m always willing to share recipes I make, though, so feel free to message me if interested.
Haha well Mark I figure since everyone else is sharing my recipes, I will share one of my own as well lol. Here is a little different approach to Guacamole where I grilled the avocado and roasted all the peppers first, it came out amazing. Hope you like and maybe try.
Its not from a primal or paleo web site but it deff fits into both.
Since my father is PR, and we always had this stuff on the holidays and such I always make sure to bring back a special like this once every month or so. NOT TO MENTIon that you can do amazing things with the left overs like this.. https://www.elboricua.com/mofongo.html
(monfongo)
I would just sub the veg oil for any other oil you would like thats friendly on your plan ( even bacon fat NUM YUMMY! )
Dont worry if you are not use to eating puerto rican food, this is a good choice to start.
Larabars are my favorite but a bit expensive, when I looked up how to make them and realized they are SUPER easy to make, I told myself I would never buy them again.
You know, I’ve never gotten up the nerve(or the whole day free) to try it, but every time I see this one it just makes my mouth water… oh, the bacony goodness… 😀
Made on: Saturday, September 17, 2011
Approx cost: $16.00
Lasted for 3 meals for 2 people
Recipe Source: https://balancedbites.com/2010/10/easy-recipe-italian-style-stuffed-peppers.html (modifiers: I used cheap ground beef, coconut oil, tomatoes from the garden but I figured their retail cost at $0.75 each, and no basil cuz my plant is languishing)
I loved the chicken livers my mom made when I was a kid. Of course, she made them in wheat flour and shortening! I modified her recipe the other night and they smelled and tasted just as good as I remember. Two bonuses: they were cheap, and my 6-year old liked them!
The first original recipe by Bonnie at The Naked Kitchen almost one year ago. And with so many ways to make it you’ll never be bored! Slice, dice, throw together. Come back in 45 to an amazing tasting meal and an even better smelling kitchen. 🙂
Pan roasted sirloin steaks, with Fresh Herb compound butter!!!
Found this looking for a simple and quick recipe, for a piece of meat i had never cooked before. Took about 15 minutes total(including prep time). Mouth watering steak as the end product with a little BUTTER! Fantastic recipe.
My Favorite recipe is this one on Braised Short Ribs..MMmmmMM they suggest you can serve it with pasta/rice/or potatoes but that is unnecessary it is delicous on its own!
Here’s a recipe I can’t live without- I use lots of grape tomatoes cut in half,sausage meat, onions, mushrooms, peppers, lots of basil and oregano (fresh if possible). Added cheese is a nice option (if you roll that way), but not neccessary. YUM!!

Primalcotti! While definitely dairy-filled, the idea behind it is GENIUS. One of the very few things that made me sad about going primal was no more lasagna or manicotti, but not anymore!
I love grilled tuna such that when sliced it is mostly raw with just a rim of cooked flesh and seasoning. I had previously stuck to a cracked peppercorn coating but recipe is a really good one.
I thought I posted this earlier but I can’t find it? These are delicious completely paleo tacos. I fed them to non paleo people and they loved them. A must try!
This recipe isn’t particularly aimed toward the primal audience, but I like it because it is a unique vegetable being used that people on a budget can easily afford as an alternative to organic spinach in terms of nutrition, without worrying about pesticides.
Hiya, I just discovered this recipe for Meatza (though I think it’s been mentioned before) from the fabulous paleo/primal-friendly UK site Athleat where you can buy free-range chicken and grass-fed beef, mmmm
My husband and I have been eating primal for a month-ish now, but I’m really trying to get the kids to understand how important the things we put in our bodies are. They’ve been helping in the kitchen, and we’ve even made a plan to go visit the local farm where we’ve been buying our meat. Next step is to start packing their lunches for school. The school lunch menu is decidedly neolithic.
Has a bit of honey but I found I can use half what the recipe calls for and they are still really tasty! Even my non-paleo friends gobble them up and request the recipe 🙂
This is my absolute favorite brand of ghee. You can eat it by spoonfulls right out of the jar. It has ana wesome caramel flavor to it which always seems to be hard to get when I try to make ghee myself.
I think I have a winner.
I came across this recipe on a tip of my friend who knows how much I LOVE Indian food. One of my favorite snacks/appetizers popular in Indian restaurants is Egg Pakora(Egg Bhajji), but since it has a hefty coating of breading around it, my friend suggested to check out this recipe that substitutes deep-fried graham flour breading with GROUND BEEF.
Try it out. It’s to die for. https://bestpaleorecipes.com/2011/06/meatballs-with-eggs/
Ingredients:
1/4 cup ghee
2 small onions, chopped
2 tomatoes, cubed
1 green bell pepper, chopped and seeds removed
1 head cauliflower
3 cloves garlic, crushed
1/2″ ginger root, crushed
1 tbs garam masala
1 tbs turmeric
1 tbs hot chili powder
1 tbs indian mango pickle or relish pickle (hot)
1/2 tbs salt (or to taste)
2 cups water
1 lb chicken legs (or any other chicken cut. I prefer bones and skin because it makes the curry thicker.)
Chop the cauliflower to the desired size and cook using the desired method (I like using the microwave).
In the base of a pressure cooker with the lid off, heat 1/4 cup of ghee. Add chopped onions to the ghee and allow them to cook until they are translucent, then add the chopped pepper and allow to soften. Set aside onions and pepper. Brown the chicken in the ghee on all sides, and add back in the pepper and onions. Add in the tomatoes, garlic, ginger, and the rest of the spices. Pour the 2 cups of water over the ingredients and stir. Place the lid on the pressure cooker, and allow to come to pressure. Once at pressure, allow to cook for 12 (firm) to 18 (fall off the bone) minutes. Serve over cauliflower. Enjoy!
*Note: this recipe, like most fragrant foods, is better the second day!
This is the recipe that got me started making my own jerky (and adapting the ingredient blend extensively). I usually add 5 different kinds of dried chiles – to much acclaim – when I am willing to part with it.
Ancho, Cayenne, Chipotle, California, Baja – rehydrate the peppers then puree in the blender with the other marinade ingredients.
I backpacked South America for 2 months and Argentina was a gastronomic delight! Patagonian lamb and grass-fed steaks bigger than my head (800g so almost 2 pounds a serving! or all you can eat meat buffet!)
I also discovered an amazing restaurant (1884) and promptly purchased his book: 7 fires. Not everything in there is primal but the concept certainly is: mastery of fire to cook simple food with a strong focus on meat.
https://allrecipes.com/recipe/baked-slow-cooker-chicken/detail.aspx – Slow Cooker Paprika Chicken. I love recipes that are simple and delicious, and this one is invaluable for the technique specifically. Your chicken doesn’t fall apart and sit in its own juices this way, and you can drain off the liquid to make a tasty primal gravy.
It uses 2tbsp of honey for an entire pie, which is well within the 80-20 rule. It’s also really yummy and a good answer when you need to provide a dessert for some event.
Whole family loved this pot pie! We made it on Saturday with leftover chicken from chicken leg quarters that we roasted. Also used up leftover veggies we had in the fridge.
A spicy ground turkey mix with cauliflower rice in place of regular rice. Also inside are sauteed onions, tomato and garlic. These stuffed peppers are versatile enough to be a hearty dinner for two, a kickin’ appetizer, or a buffet style entree. However you present them, they are sure to please and will have your friends begging for the recipe.
My blog is frommybluekitchen.blogspot.com, and almost everything on it is Primal – this is my way of showing others how we eat (and let me tell you, we eat good)! Some of the recipes are based off MDA inspirations, but this one in particular is my own creation. I had coffee spiced lamb at a restaurant once and tried to recreate it primally at home!
Also…the cupcake recipes are gluten free, do use unrefined sugar, and are as Primal as possible! Enjoy!
I know that this is too late, but I really wanted to share my duck gizzard recipe. I don’t think many people have used this ingredient before, so I want to show something that’s a bit unusual that everybody can try out for their first time. Enjoy! 🙂
This web site is the model of value for time spent reading it, regardless of the message. I appreciate the effort it must take and I think other folks wishing to leverage the web for something actually useful could take a lesson from it. Thanks.

Here’s a link for some primal granola/cereal(without, you know, the actual cereal)
https://is.gd/dIOiGn
WOW!!! Thank you SO much- I was just this morning going to search for a primal granola- you made my day
Ya beat me to it. I’ll have to come up with another recipe. This stuff is the bomb! I’ve made it many times & my husband will still eat it!(He’s picky sometimes)I’ve made it with macadamia nuts, pecans & coconut oil. The possibilities are endless. I’ve yet to try it with chocolate. It doesn’t need it.
OMG that looks SOOO good.
Agreed!!! I will make it this weekend.
Yum! Cereal is the one thing my daughters miss sooo much since we’ve made the leap to this lifestyle. I can’t wait to surprise them with this some morning!

You can even add something extra to the primal experience, by gutting the fish yourself (like I did, for the first time :-))

Primal Chicken Tacos with home-made Guacamole
https://theprimalchallenge.wordpress.com/2011/09/16/primal-alternatives-chicken-tacos/

Man Jam!! My hubby Would love this!!
I don’t eat dairy so I don’t need to enter but I love this idea. I tried a new (simple) recipe this week that was absolutely amazing in a “why didn’t I think of that” way. Use cucumbers as a cracker substitute (hello, genious!) and try this spicy salmon spread. It is SO good. https://everydaypaleo.com/2011/09/08/introducing-paleo-comfort-foods-cookbook-by-julie-charles-mayfield/
When I went gluten free years ago I learned that cucumber slices and green peppers make excellent “vehicles” for all kinds of yummy things, like egg salad, tuna salad, lunchmeat…etc.
My favorite primal meal is the Meatza: A pizza made from meat “crust” with whatever toppings you enjoy. I like to put olives, mushrooms and cheese on mine but I often mix it up.
https://www.justinowings.com/meatza-meatza/
Well I love this combination, broccoli and apple just seem to go well together for me… sometimes I throw in a little bit of kiwi, almost turning the salad into a dessert! It´s great, you MUST try it:

Last weekend I made the simplest quickest strawberry and coconut ice cream ever! Delicious and completely primal!

https://everydaypaleo.com/2010/09/07/cooking-demo-breakfast-paleo-pizza/
It’s a breakfast pizza!! A few variations that I typically do are: grass-fed beef or bison in place of the sausage, coconut oil instead of olive oil, and in lieu of the spaghetti sauce I’ll use some homemade pico de gallo. I love this recipe because it is really easy to change and scale up and down depending on how many you are feeding.

Paleo Pumpkin Pancakes! A great fall morning treat!

I tried this recipe this morning — wonderful pancakes!! Thx for sharing.
I make these a lot for what Nom Nom Paleo calls “emergency protein”:
https://www.sweetcheekshq.com/2010/05/another-tasty-ball.html
Except I swap around the meats by using 1lb grass-fed ground beef and 1lb of Italian chicken sausage. I also sub green chile powder for the red pepper flakes (my hubby is from New Mexico – if it has green chile, he’ll eat it!). I cook them up and store in the fridge. They are tasty cold when I need a little something, or great heated and topped with marinara when I have time for an actual meal.

Here is an absolutely delicious recipe called: Brazilian Chicken with Coconut milk.
https://allrecipes.com//Recipe/brazilian-chicken-with-coconut-milk/Detail.aspx
A fantastic blend of South American spices and herbs mixed into a thick coconut milk based sauce and served over pan-seared chicken breast. Trust me, this is one of those recipes you will come back to many times! If you are really feeling primal, feel free to throw some quality grass-fed butter right into the sauce as well!
As someone who is venturing into paleo after spending close to two years as a vegeterian (I know, I know…), this chicken recipe looks amazing and I can’t wait to try it! Thanks for posting!

This is a recipe for a whole chicken cooked in coconut milk. It is really delicious. We often make it on sundays and eat the leftovers for lunch for the next few days. It suggests serving it on rice, but that is totally unnecessary.
https://www.thekitchn.com/thekitchn/main-dish/recipe-chicken-in-coconut-milk-081026
Curious: Do you remove the fat from the pot after browning the chicken, as the recipe calls for? I’d be tempted to leave it in…

These bacon wrapped chicken livers are amazing!! I found them through Chowstalker.com. I am a cook at a health food coop and I made these there to sell and I tell ya…they swayed even the “I-HATE-liver!-I will-never-eat-it” crowd. I literally saw some faces light up!! I am always looking for was to use the offal, because usually it gets thrown away (SHAMEFUL, I know) and I hate to see any animal food tossed. I have tried things in the past that I thought were great, (however, I like liver; I grew up eating offal) but NO GO for most folks. These babies went quick!! I will definitely make these again. I actually got a “request” from a customer to make them
again!! I did use a local brand of BBQ sauce that’s really “clean”. You’ll have to find or make one on your own. I think I will make these for dinner tonight! Yum.
In the recipe for these livers, just click on the ingredient “maple barbecue sauce” and it will take you to the recipe for the sauce.

It does take a commitment of time, but it isn’t hard although the ingredient list is long and there are several steps to the process. Consider it a special occasion dish.

I LOVE keema. I LOVE sweet potato. Never thought of putting them together in an omelet before. Sounds gorgeous! Of course… this means I need to make enough keema that we have leftovers. A rarity in our house!

Hey everybody, I am a french follower of MDA, and I’d say you’d be surprised to see how many traditional french recipes are actually primal, or very close to it.
So my suggestions for today’s contest is a traditional recipe from my home region:
not sure if a kidgoat is something easy to get on the other side of the atlantic, but I highly recommend it, especially if it she´s been fed 100% with her grassfed mumy’s milk. (my neighbor is a goatherd which helps).
Here it goes:
https://www.visit-poitou.com/article.php3?id_article=223
however this recipe says to serve with potatoes which is kind of wrong and not even that traditional, the traditional recipe which goes with it is actually the awesome green paté “Farci Poitevin” which is a hell of a primal recipe ( just skip the unnecessay 2 spoonfulls of flour), full of fany greens and fat.
https://www.breilbon.com/table_en.htm
bon appetit!
I noticed this about French cooking recently myself! I just checked out several books on french cuisine from the library. 🙂
I love French cuisine, everything is all creamy and buttery, and its easy to substitute traditional breadcrumbs in breading (which is quite popular) with ground almonds or dessicated coconut, so bon appetit 🙂

Margarita Pork Chops! I love this one! It was recently posted on a site I visit OFTEN, Purely Primal: Cooking with the Good Stuff. I like to sneak in primal meals when I cook for friends, just to show them how awesome the food is. My husband, father-in-law, and good buddy LOVED this one. But then again, they call pork “vitamin P”…so I’m pretty sure they would have liked anything with pork.

This one is from Sarah Fragoso–quick, very easy and delicious. She suggests you pressure cook the sweet potatoes but since I don’t have a pressure cooker and I love mashed sweet potatoes, I buy a huge bag every week and bake them in aluminum foil ahead of time for about an hour at 425. I add heavy cream, Kerrygold grassfed butter and cinnamon to my mashed sweet potatoes.

Meffins (egg and sausage muffins) from Breakfast article in Weston Price journal. Article here: https://www.westonaprice.org/childrens-health/morning-nourishment-bountiful-benefits-and-creative-ideas.
Recipe is about 3/4 way down page. Article a good read — everything recommended not completely primal, though this recipe is. For your convenience, here is it:
Meffins
Makes about 1 dozen
1 pound ground pastured pork (other ground meats work too)
12 pastured eggs, beaten Salt and pepper to taste
about 1 cup cheese, shredded or crumbled
1 cup cottage cheese
1 cup chopped veggies of choice (onion, garlic, peppers, carrots, green onions, are all good)
Herbs and spices of choice (sage, thyme, rosemary, garlic powder, onion, powder, chili powder, etc.)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease 12 muffin cups. Brown sausage in skillet on medium heat and transfer to bowl. Use the leftover grease to sauté chopped veggies (adding extra fat if necessary; butter, ghee, coconut oil, lard or tallow). In a large bowl, beat eggs then add sausage, cottage cheese, sautéed veggies, onion, garlic powder, salt, pepper and other herbs or spices of your choosing. Spoon approximately 1/4 cup of egg/sausage/veggie mixture into each muffin cup, sprinkle with cheese and cook between 15 to 20 minutes, until egg has set.
OMG – best pulled pork/carnitas EVER! Scoop into romaine hearts and top with homemade guac.

https://masteringtheartofpaleocooking.com/2011/05/11/blackened-salmon-with-roasted-balsamic-beets/
These balsamic roasted beets have become a favorite, even my picky 6 year old likes them!
I invented this for those who handle dairy:
Primal Berry Pudding Pie
1/2 cup Greek or drained full fat yogurt (cultured!)
2 tbl sour cream (fermented!)
1/2 cup berries (frozen raspberries are cheaper and work great)
1/4 cup chopped walnuts
Mix it all together (or spoon the rest over the walnuts) and let sit for 10 minutes. It’s a fantastic dessert or lunch without any sweetener.
I hate eggs, but like this so much I make them about once a week! And I love that by changing up the seasonings or cheese you can have a different flavor.

https://paleoblocks.blogspot.com/2011/01/paleo-granola.html – Paleo Granola recipe
Just made this (though a bit differently) for a food swap today! And GUESS WHAT?! Instead of coconut oil, I actually used GHEE – how perfect! It was really, really delicious and I think the ghee gave it a richer taste than the coconut oil actually. Here are the ingredients I ended up using:
-dried unsweetened coconut
-sliced almonds (they give a really great cereal texture)
-pecans
-walnuts
-sesame seeds
-ghee
-TINY bit of honey
-cinnamon
-vanilla extract
Sooooooo good – and now I get to share it with people who aren’t Paleo but this granola tastes 10x better than the oat crap anyway!
Enjoy 🙂

Holy crap, lady! Wow. 🙂
I’ve been drinking my coffee black since we started the paleo lifestyle. Maybe it’s time to switch things up?! Thanks for posting this!
I’ve been coffee free since starting the ‘challenge’ ’cause I don’t want to do dairy. No dairy, nasty coffee. But I miss my coffee. I’ll try your recipe and see if I can tolerate coffee without sugar and cream. Thank you!!
I didn’t have any dates on hand to make date syrup so I made an unsweetened version of this. Since I’ve been drinking my coffee black, I didn’t mind the missing sweetness. It was super spicy and delicious.
Paleo Pork BUtt
https://paleozone.posterous.com/slow-cooking-carnitas-aka-pork-butt
We’ve been making our own sauerkraut. It’s easy to do and is awesome because it’s always there if you haven’t planned a veggie to go with your protein for a given meal. If you’re at all dubious about making this, I recommend checking out the book Wild Fermentation from the library – the one with the DVD. The DVD is a workshop of him making sauerkraut and answered a lot of the questions I had.

My absolute favorite recipe since embracing a Primal diet is Paleo Pad Thai from Health-Bent:
https://www.health-bent.com/proteins/pad-thai
I’ve made the “noodles” out of zucchini as recommended, out of spaghetti squash, out of cabbage, carrots, bell peppers, and all kinds of summer squashes. The more, the merrier! I usually make the recipe with shrimp instead of duck (because I alway have a big supply of frozen shrimp). It is SO good.

https://www.joyfulabode.com/2010/12/05/grainfree-artichoke-sundried-tomato-stuffing/
Grain free artichoke sun-dried tomato stuffing. This uses a grain-free bread to make the “croutons” the stuffing is then made from. I LOVE this stuffing, which my mother-in-law makes with sourdough bread, but took it and primal-ized it.
My husband said he might even like the grain-free version better than the one he grew up with, so I count that as a win.
Totally craving this right now…
I’m submitting my own…curry chicken and sweet potato stew! https://www.thefoodieandthefamily.com/2011/09/16/curry-chicken-and-sweet-potato-stew/
Nothing say Primal like Dulse. Its a seaweed that grows where I grew up – Atlantic Canada. I look forward to going home during the right tides to snag myself as much of this treat as I can fit in my suitcase. I don’t care if all my clothes smell like the ocean.
Good dulse is purple when dried and has a slightly sweet taste that you really appreciate when living a no sugar added lifestyle. Those not brought up with it are best to introduce it as flakes and work up to munching on the leaves but primal people I think are more adventerous and might go right for the full leaf.
Taken from
https://organicdulse.com/aboutDulse.html
Avocado Dulse Dip
1 large avocado, mashed
2 tsp dulse flakes
1-2 tbsp finely chopped red onion
4 cloves garlic
2 tbsp lemon juice
salt and cayenne pepper to taste
Combine ingredients and mix well. Let sit refrigerated for at least an hour to let the taste of the seasonings fully emerge.
Garden Salad with Dulse and Walnuts
2 large handfuls arugula or other salad greens
1/2 cup dulse fronds, picked over and torn into bite-size pieces, or 1/4 cup dulse flakes
Sea salt to taste
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
Freshly ground black pepper to taste
1/4 cup roasted walnut halves
Arugula blossoms for garnish (optional)
Place the arugula and dulse in a salad bowl and toss with salt. Drizzle on the oil and toss again. Add the lemon juice and pepper and give a final toss. Taste and adjust the seasonings. Garnish with walnuts and arugula blossoms if using. Serve immediately.

I’m always looking for great sides for our grilled and broiled meats. This recipe for Butternut Squash with Walnuts, Ginger and Vanilla is scrumptious – and a great dish for fall.

https://www.elanaspantry.com/paleo-bread/#more-27979 someone else may have put this up too… but I had to add another ‘vote’ for it. I think this bread is saving my relationship. Since we are both going gluten-free and I am transitioning more and more to Paleo… (not sure I can get him to give up rice, made the switch to brown rice.) This recipe allows me to quit buying Udi’s (the best GF bread we found). Plus, he says he likes it better than Udi’s. And all you need to do is throw some bacon and a fried egg on a couple slices and you have one excellent sandwich.

Lamb’s tongues, turnips, and bacon
If that doesn’t get your attention and your appetite then I don’t know what to tell you. Tender tongue, salty bacon, caramelized shallots, and turnips to soak up all the goodness. This makes a soothing and lovely fall or winter soup. The Nose to Tail cookbook isn’t 100% primal but it is a great ‘odd parts’ cookbook.
I should add that THIS recipe is totally primal–there are other recipes in the book that have grains or beans in them, but on the whole this book is about cooking with animal fats and featuring rather than hiding organ meats and other odd cuts.
Thanks for sharing this! We are soon getting a couple of pastured lambs and I was wondering what to do with the tongue!

What to do with Kholrabi? I was getting kholrabi in my CSA basket earlier this year and I couldn’t figure out what to do with it. I found this recipe for kholrabi puree online and it was primal friendly and totally awesome. Definitely a keeper! https://www.farmgirlfare.com/2007/11/recipe-what-to-do-with-kohlrabi-puree.html

Amazing condiments! Super easy and are great spins on traditional sauces.
https://everydaypaleo.com/2010/09/22/puerto-rican-beef/ – Puerto Rican Beef. One of our family’s favorites!
This is a wrap that hold up to anything. I make them thin & get about 10 out of this recipe. They are great for tacos, hotdogs(for those that eat hotdogs it tastes like pigs in a blanket) or any sandwich or crepe recipe. I bet they’d be good for enchiladas although I’ve never used them for that.

https://www.dailyunadventuresincooking.com/recipe/slow-cooker-vietnamese-beef-shank-stew-recipe/
I substitute coconut flour and grass-fed butter or ghee (for the oil).
The beef falls away from the bone in the cooker. The bone marrow is the best part (the broth is pretty awesome too).

This is so yummy, a perfect primal version of one of my favorite comfort foods! With an almond flour crust, and filling of chicken, butternut squash, celery, and mushrooms….you really can’t go wrong here.
Cashew Nut Butter Chicken.
https://www.food.com/recipe/cashew-nut-butter-chicken-51046
THIS recipe does call for ghee which is completely appropriate given today’s sumptuous prize. I haven’t tried it yet (and I think I’d not cook the cashews for 40 looong minutes)but I’m definitely printing it out so I don’t forget it. Easy to do with all these links!
Great idea, Mark!

Key Lime Chicken Breasts
https://paleofood.com/chicst.htm
Being a college student, a skillet and a stove top are all that I have to really cook with most of the time. Chicken breasts + herbs/spices/extra virgin olive oil are pretty much my staple foods, due to how economical and great-tasting they are.
Though someone else likes the eggplant recipe from “Stuff I Make My Husband”, I prefer her hybrid crust:

I haven’t actually tried this one but I kind of want to, I’m just don’t have the guts! 😛
Raw fish at sushi bars I have done and very rare (blue) steak but I’m still a bit too squeamish for raw ground beef! If any of you have tried this let me know how it went.
https://www.yolkskefirandgristle.com/2011/09/05/mystery-meat-monday-raw-ground-beef/
This is one of those recipes that is shockingly easy to make and delicious. There is a lot of chopping involved, but otherwise, very easy. You’ll be amazed that you didn’t have to get this in a restaurant.

Homemade roast beef – made with nothing but salt, pepper, olive oil, and love.
https://www.thehungrymouse.com/2009/03/09/make-your-own-deli-style-roast-beef/
I cook this and freeze it, and depending on how much I’ve trained and walked during the day, I will eat up to 2 pounds at dinner. If I eat Boar’s head “organic” grain fed deli roast beef, it would cost me 11 bucks a pound; homemade roast beef from grass fed cattle never costs me over 5 dollars a pound.
They add onion powder and garlic powder in this recipe but you could feasibly make this however you’d like with whatever spices. I like mine spiceless so I can taste the meaty flavour – this comes from a former vegetarian 😉
A fall/winter staple at our house is Beef Carbonnade – Belgian beef stew with beef, beer and onions. We’ve slightly adapted this recipe, from Cook’s Illustrated originally, to be fully primal – just use arrowroot instead of all-purpose wheat flour to thicken, and use a healthy fat of your choice in place of the vegetable oil (ghee, coconut oil, lard, whatever!). If you can’t have gluten (I can’t), sub red wine for the beer. Serve by itself or with cauli mashed potatoes.

I began my search with “grain free recipes” (seemed logical enough) and came up with this yummy-sounding dish:
https://grainfreefoodie.blogspot.com/2011/06/pork-carnitas.html
In the process, I learned about Gut and Psychology Syndrome (GAPS) and the Specific Carbohydrate Diet (SCD). I don’t have any known gut diseases (myself or in my family), but I totally agree that what we eat affects both our gut health (I’m sure mine needs improvement) and mental health (probably could use some help there, as well), so surely the information available on this topic is worth checking into (even if I don’t have any symptoms of disease – as a prevention measure).
The recommended diet seems very much inline with primal / paleo / ancestral, so I’m interested in learning more. 🙂
SCD for sure is very much in line with primal / paleo / ancestral diets. I started following the SCD in Jan 2010 for IBS. It was someone on the SCD Facebook group that pointed me to this website 2 months ago. It was nice to find another big community of people eating the same way I do! And MORE RECIPES that I don’t have to convert. Yay! 🙂

Another warning: I love their recipes, but they do go way over the top on the ‘food porn’ stuff. Brits just aren’t as uptight about that stuff as we are. 😉 I love these for breakfast:

This is a spanish tortilla recipe. At first, I admit, I was not sure if this would be good or if I could successfully cook it. I tried it and it was AMAZING!!! This was a recipe that really showed me that you can have wonderfully tasting foods on the paleo diet. You just have to be open and creative. And I have Sara from everyday paleo to thank for helping me learn how to cook. Her recipes are amazing!

This was the recipe that allowed me to convince my mom to give paleo a try at least. Still a long way to go, but well, Southern ladies need their grits and this showed her that anything is possible “even with paleo”.
It’s also great because since I’m living in Japan and ovens are rare to have at home, the more recipes without needing ovens the better!

Amazing coconut flour pancakes. When you use a fatty brand of coconut milk they’re surprisingly filling. I love to add cocoa powder to the recipe then top with strawberries, or toss in a good bit of cinnamon and ~10 drops of stevia (measurement is for the half-recipe I make for myself)for several servings of dessert.

Greek Salad with Wilted Spinach and Herbed Greek Yogurt Dressing
This recipe is way easier than the name makes it sound.
Ground Lamb and sweet potato sheppards pie, made this several times. It’s easy to experiment with various spices if you wish. It’s also inexpensive and feeds a family of four for at least 2 dinners. In the context of the volume of the overall recipe, this calls for a very small amount of flour (2 TBSP) to thicken things up a bit. I usually omit the flour and and a bit less stock and it still tastes great.

I buy chipotle peppers fresh or canned in water, then make the adobo sauce myself (tomato paste, cumin, chile pepper, turmeric, olive oil, salt); ketchup is either homemade or just extra tomato paste; and of course, no hamburger buns.

It’s hard to make a bad crab cake because if all else fails, you can just eat the lump crab straight from the container.

Spaghetti squash is almost in season! I encourage everyone to try it with some marinara or similar sauce. So delish!
I truly do not like spaghetti squash. Ever tried making pasta with slightly dried zucchini strips? Put a hot topping on them and they kinda cook themselves, too perfect.
I make a mean spaghetti squash shrimp alfredo…
Try Spaghetti Squash with Basil Pesto! 1 box frozen spinach drained & squeezed, 1/2 c grated parm, 1/2 c olive oil, 1/3 c fresh basil leaves (or more!), 1/4 cup pine nuts, S&P,1/4 tsp ground anise seed (optional) – put it all in a food processor and blend away! Scrape sides of bowl after 30 seconds and process a bit more adding more EVOO if you want, to desired consistency. This stuff will literally melt over your hot spaghetti squash! Enjoy!
https://blog.modernpaleo.com/2010/06/no-sugar-cheesecake.html
The hardest thing for me to give up was the sugary sweet desserts. I found this recipe and have modified it slightly. My wife and I doubled the ingredients for the crust as suggested, but also add cinnamon and coconut to the almond meal crust.
For our “sugar” we have tried many things. Of course the more traditional tasting cheesecake requires sweetener, but we fell in love with our berry blend. We just threw a bunch of strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, and a few blueberries into the blender. If your berries are not ripe, add water 1 tsp at a time until the fruit is blended smooth and add to the “batter”
Also, to make it a “real” dessert, we made a ganache….just chop up your favorite high quality dark chocolate. Heat cream until hot (not boiling– you can use the microwave, but I don’t think grok had one)pour 1/2 of the cream onto the chopped chocolate and stir…add additional cream to make sure all the chocolate is melted, but it should not be too liquidy. After the cheesecake is cool, dump on the chocolate and smooth with spoon, and refrigerate….yum.

It’s a primal pizza crust with primal toppings. Who doesn’t love pizza.
Mmmm gheeee (:
https://www.cheriestihler.com/recipes/sides.html
(you have to scroll a bit to find this one among the other cabbage recipes, so I pasted it here; it’s SO good!! I loved having it with a cheese omelette for breakfast (: I left out the sugar because it’s totally not necessary, and I also think I used some chicken broth instead of the wine.)
Braised Red Cabbage
1 red cabbage, sliced
3 onions, sliced thinly
2 tbsp. butter
4 apples, peeled, cored and sliced
4 whole cloves
1/2 c. red wine vinegar
1/2 bottle dry red wine
1/2 tsp. sugar
Dash salt
Melt butter in large saucepan. SautÈ onions, then add cabbage, apples, sugar and salt, cloves. Mix well . Add vinegar and wine. Cover and cook over low heat until cabbage is soft and liquid has absorbed, stirring occasionally (approximately 1 1/2 hours). Serve with pork or chicken.
It’s time for melons around here and there’s nothing better than a really fragrant melon for dinner, with tomatoes, olives and tarragon. Or with salt, basil and prosciutto. For the sweet-toothed, you can amend the second recipe for dessert as follows: cantaloupe with salt, olive oil and torn spearmint leaves. Use a little bit of a large-crystal, flaky salt such as Maldon’s or Fleur de sel. Table salt or kosher will not work.

https://allrecipes.com/Recipe/grilled-tilapia-with-mango-salsa/detail.aspx
I have had this tilapia with mango salsa 3 times in the past month, and it is awesome. I actually just mix the marinade ingredients, heated on the stove just a bit, and pour them over all my tilapia filets, each of which is in its own little aluminum foil boat. I close down the foil and stick them all in the oven, and when they come out, I will pour the extra sauce from within the foil packets over whichever steamed vegetable I’ve decided to throw on the plate with this, whether broccoli/cauliflower, asparagus, or whatever tickles the fancy at the time 🙂 I have also substituted butter in place of the oil on the fish “marinade,” for a different taste, and it was just as awesome.

https://thepioneerwoman.com/cooking/2009/11/braised-short-ribs-heaven-on-a-plate/
NOTE: Her recipe calls for dusting the ribs in flour. Just skip that. The sauce won’t be as thick, but it’s still fabulous. I also opted for bacon fat instead of olive oil. Just my preference.
Oh, and skip the part about discarding the fat. Serve it with a salad or roasted veggies instead of polenta or mashed potatoes.

A favorite I come back to time and again, particularly in winter. A stewy blend of chicken, curry, coconut milk, veggies and peanut butter (great without peanut butter for a change of pace as well). Hearty enough that spooning over a bed isn’t really needed, but when I do, I choose riced cauliflower.

Haha well Mark I figure since everyone else is sharing my recipes, I will share one of my own as well lol. Here is a little different approach to Guacamole where I grilled the avocado and roasted all the peppers first, it came out amazing. Hope you like and maybe try.
https://www.civilizedcavemancooking.com/2011/09/grilled-guacamole.html
I can’t wait to get a grill! This is gonna be the first recipe I make when I do! It looks soo good.
I couldn’t decide which is my favorite, so I’ll post them both.

Its not from a primal or paleo web site but it deff fits into both.
Since my father is PR, and we always had this stuff on the holidays and such I always make sure to bring back a special like this once every month or so. NOT TO MENTIon that you can do amazing things with the left overs like this..

I would just sub the veg oil for any other oil you would like thats friendly on your plan ( even bacon fat NUM YUMMY! )
Dont worry if you are not use to eating puerto rican food, this is a good choice to start.
Larabars are my favorite but a bit expensive, when I looked up how to make them and realized they are SUPER easy to make, I told myself I would never buy them again.

Italian Style Stuffed Peppers
Made on: Saturday, September 17, 2011
Approx cost: $16.00
Lasted for 3 meals for 2 people
Recipe Source: https://balancedbites.com/2010/10/easy-recipe-italian-style-stuffed-peppers.html (modifiers: I used cheap ground beef, coconut oil, tomatoes from the garden but I figured their retail cost at $0.75 each, and no basil cuz my plant is languishing)
Rating: BEYOND DELICIOUS!
Here is one of my favorite salads. My small town grocery always has organic celery, so I went in search of recipes that use the crunchie veggie.

I loved the chicken livers my mom made when I was a kid. Of course, she made them in wheat flour and shortening! I modified her recipe the other night and they smelled and tasted just as good as I remember. Two bonuses: they were cheap, and my 6-year old liked them!

Here’s a recipe I can’t live without- I use lots of grape tomatoes cut in half,sausage meat, onions, mushrooms, peppers, lots of basil and oregano (fresh if possible). Added cheese is a nice option (if you roll that way), but not neccessary. YUM!!
https://blog.yourlighterside.com/2009/05/low-carb-pizza-dough-cauliflower.html
I loved COLD AVOCADO SOUP before I found Primal, but it was so rich I was afraid to eat it often. Now that I’ve seen the light, I happily indulge!
https://paleobrothers.blogspot.com/2010/11/cold-avocado-soup.html
This Primal version uses coconut milk, but I’ve always used grass-fed 1/2 and 1/2 or whipping cream. I also add a dash of lemon juice.
Enjoy!

Primalcotti! While definitely dairy-filled, the idea behind it is GENIUS. One of the very few things that made me sad about going primal was no more lasagna or manicotti, but not anymore!

https://cleanpalate.wordpress.com/2011/09/14/amaranth-omelette/
This recipe isn’t particularly aimed toward the primal audience, but I like it because it is a unique vegetable being used that people on a budget can easily afford as an alternative to organic spinach in terms of nutrition, without worrying about pesticides.
This is what I had for dinner tonight (grass-fed beef chuck roast). Good. Easy.

and
Pumpkin Spice Cakes from The Food Lovers’ Primal Palate (https://www.primal-palate.com/2010/10/pumpkin-spice-cakes-and-pumpkin-spice.html)
My husband and I have been eating primal for a month-ish now, but I’m really trying to get the kids to understand how important the things we put in our bodies are. They’ve been helping in the kitchen, and we’ve even made a plan to go visit the local farm where we’ve been buying our meat. Next step is to start packing their lunches for school. The school lunch menu is decidedly neolithic.

This has been my favorite Primal recipe so far! Pumpkin Bacon Chili, mmmm. 🙂
https://www.katiekdid.com/2011/08/31/pumpkin-bacon-chili/

Meatballs with Egg inside (Beef-Egg Pakora)
I think I have a winner.
I came across this recipe on a tip of my friend who knows how much I LOVE Indian food. One of my favorite snacks/appetizers popular in Indian restaurants is Egg Pakora(Egg Bhajji), but since it has a hefty coating of breading around it, my friend suggested to check out this recipe that substitutes deep-fried graham flour breading with GROUND BEEF.
Try it out. It’s to die for.

Pressure Cooker Primal Chicken Curry:
Ingredients:
1/4 cup ghee
2 small onions, chopped
2 tomatoes, cubed
1 green bell pepper, chopped and seeds removed
1 head cauliflower
3 cloves garlic, crushed
1/2″ ginger root, crushed
1 tbs garam masala
1 tbs turmeric
1 tbs hot chili powder
1 tbs indian mango pickle or relish pickle (hot)
1/2 tbs salt (or to taste)
2 cups water
1 lb chicken legs (or any other chicken cut. I prefer bones and skin because it makes the curry thicker.)
Chop the cauliflower to the desired size and cook using the desired method (I like using the microwave).
In the base of a pressure cooker with the lid off, heat 1/4 cup of ghee. Add chopped onions to the ghee and allow them to cook until they are translucent, then add the chopped pepper and allow to soften. Set aside onions and pepper. Brown the chicken in the ghee on all sides, and add back in the pepper and onions. Add in the tomatoes, garlic, ginger, and the rest of the spices. Pour the 2 cups of water over the ingredients and stir. Place the lid on the pressure cooker, and allow to come to pressure. Once at pressure, allow to cook for 12 (firm) to 18 (fall off the bone) minutes. Serve over cauliflower. Enjoy!
*Note: this recipe, like most fragrant foods, is better the second day!

This is the recipe that got me started making my own jerky (and adapting the ingredient blend extensively). I usually add 5 different kinds of dried chiles – to much acclaim – when I am willing to part with it.
Ancho, Cayenne, Chipotle, California, Baja – rehydrate the peppers then puree in the blender with the other marinade ingredients.
Enjoy!

I really like finding recipes from my old diet that are Primal. Here’s the BEST carnitas recipe from Epicurious: https://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/Crispy-Pork-with-Avocado-Salsa-and-Tomato-Salsa-108049
It does include corn tortillas as an ingredient, but it is amazing without them.
https://mypaleokitchen.blogspot.com/2008/05/pakchoy-and-peach.html
This is a good one. Pakchoy is Dutch for Bok Choy.
Braided Beef with Anchovies and Olives – https://www.seriouseats.com/recipes/2009/06/cook-the-book-braided-beef-with-anchovies-recipe.html
I backpacked South America for 2 months and Argentina was a gastronomic delight! Patagonian lamb and grass-fed steaks bigger than my head (800g so almost 2 pounds a serving! or all you can eat meat buffet!)
I also discovered an amazing restaurant (1884) and promptly purchased his book: 7 fires. Not everything in there is primal but the concept certainly is: mastery of fire to cook simple food with a strong focus on meat.
I highly recommend it.
https://allrecipes.com/recipe/baked-slow-cooker-chicken/detail.aspx – Slow Cooker Paprika Chicken. I love recipes that are simple and delicious, and this one is invaluable for the technique specifically. Your chicken doesn’t fall apart and sit in its own juices this way, and you can drain off the liquid to make a tasty primal gravy.
My personal favourite:
Primal cheesecake
https://www.myrealfoodlife.com/dairy-free-rhubarb-cheesecake-pie/
It uses 2tbsp of honey for an entire pie, which is well within the 80-20 rule. It’s also really yummy and a good answer when you need to provide a dessert for some event.
I’ve made this, it’s delicious! I put blueberries in mine. Her cupcake recipe is also amazing!
Chicken Dive In from Sarah at Everyday Paleo https://everydaypaleo.com/2011/02/12/chicken-dive-in/

I think I may have to make this for my entry to today’s contest, mmmm!

While lots of Chile Rellenos recipes can be paleo, this one looks amazing… https://www.health-bent.com/proteins/chile-rellenos
I’m a fan of recipes that are primal without knowing it, especially this one: https://www.food52.com/recipes/14246_kale_with_pancetta_cream_and_toasted_rosemary_walnuts
It makes primal a non-“sacrificial” and delicious endeavor.
Spicy-Stuffed Peppers:
A spicy ground turkey mix with cauliflower rice in place of regular rice. Also inside are sauteed onions, tomato and garlic. These stuffed peppers are versatile enough to be a hearty dinner for two, a kickin’ appetizer, or a buffet style entree. However you present them, they are sure to please and will have your friends begging for the recipe.
https://www.primal-palate.com/2010/08/spicy-stuffed-peppers.html

My blog is frommybluekitchen.blogspot.com, and almost everything on it is Primal – this is my way of showing others how we eat (and let me tell you, we eat good)! Some of the recipes are based off MDA inspirations, but this one in particular is my own creation. I had coffee spiced lamb at a restaurant once and tried to recreate it primally at home!
Also…the cupcake recipes are gluten free, do use unrefined sugar, and are as Primal as possible! Enjoy!

I know that this is too late, but I really wanted to share my duck gizzard recipe. I don’t think many people have used this ingredient before, so I want to show something that’s a bit unusual that everybody can try out for their first time. Enjoy! 🙂

I love living primally. These new recipes all look good to me. I am always looking for ways to incorporate healthy food into new recipes.
This web site is the model of value for time spent reading it, regardless of the message. I appreciate the effort it must take and I think other folks wishing to leverage the web for something actually useful could take a lesson from it. Thanks.
