Mongolian Pork Stew

Marinade

2 Tbsp Lemon Juice

1/2 tsp Olive Oil

2 tsp Paprika

1 tsp Turmeric

1 tsp Coriander

1/2 tsp Cumin

1/2 tsp Pepper

1/4 tsp Ginger

Stew

1 1/2 lb Pork (cut into cubes)

1 Cup diced Butternut Squash

14 Oz Chicken Stock

1 Cup Diced Carrots

1 Cup Chick Peas (Leave out for full-on Paleo)

1/2 Cup Chopped Onions

1/2 Cup Canned Diced Tomatoes

1 Tbsp Tomato Paste

2 tsp Garlic

1/2 tsp Hot Sauce

Punch of Cinnamon & Allspice

Marinate pork for 30 minutes-4 hours (really, the longer the better).

Heat 2 tsp oil in a pan, add the pork & fry until starting to brown. Transfer to a plate for later.

Add all the remaining ingredients to the pan.

Bring to the boil, and then reduce heat & simmer until vegetables are tender (this will be around 20-30 minutes).

Return the pork that you set aside earlier to the pan, and allow the meat to heat through (this will take somewhere around 5 minutes).

Review:

A favorite! This is so simple, and is a really tasty stew that everyone can enjoy.

Suggestion:

You can mix up the hot sauce if you want something with a bigger kick, but as is will give you a warm (in every sense) stew that is bursting with flavor!

Paleo Carrot & Coriander Soup

2 lbs carrot

1 sprig coriander

1 large onion

1/4 cup coriander

1 dash seasoning

40 fl oz vegetable stock

Stir fry the onion in low fat cooking spray for 5 minutes. Add the sliced carrots, vegetable stock and seasoning (salt and pepper) to taste.

Simmer for 15 minutes until the carrots are tender. Add the chopped coriander.

Liquidize and serve.

Review:

Remarkable how something so simple can yield such delicious results! A definite winner for both the simple cook and the soup enthusiast.

Suggestion:

You can add ham (or bacon) for a little twist. Also, Olive Oil works fine if you don't have a low fat spray. Adding a clove or two (to taste) of garlic with the onions rounds off the flavour nicely,
