I am really channeling my midwestern roots with this one...MEAT, POTATOES and CABBAGE...it's like a pioneer's dream!! I think this creation is also attributed to this crazy Georgia weather. My allergies are telling me it's spring and I am craving all of the salads but the 35 degree temps that keep creeping in are telling me to make meat + potatoes and hibernate inside! Regardless of the season, the weather, if your a pioneer or a modern day woman, this meal will give you all the feels!

Corned Beef

Serving size: 4

Prep time: ZERO

Cook time: 3 hours

Total time: 3 hours

Ingredients:

  •  Wellshire Farms-Uncured corned beef round (bought it at Whole Foods & is pre-seasoned).
  • 2 tbsp. grass-fed ghee
  • 16 ounces beef bone broth (my favorite brand is Kettle & Fire)
  • 3-4 cloves of garlic
  • 1/2 yellow onion, cubed into 4
  • Fresh rosemary, about 4-5 sprigs

Instructions:

  • In a large dutch over, heat 2 tbsp. grass-fed ghee on medium heat.
  • Once dutch oven is hot and ghee is melted, add pre-marinated/seasoned corned beef. Braise all four sides getting it nice and browned, about 5 minutes per side.
  • Turn heat down to low and add 16 ounces of beef bone broth. Throw in large chunks of onion and whole garlic cloves that you have gently smashed with a knife to release the flavors. Also add whole springs of fresh rosemary.
  • Cover and let cook for about 3 hours. Check at about 2.5 hours. If the meat is starting to pull it is done. If it still is a bit tough, cook for the additional 30 minutes.
  • Remove from liquid and let it rest for about 10 minutes before slicing.
  • Save onion, garlic, rosemary infused broth for drizzling!

Red Cabbage Salad

Serving size: 4

Prep time: 3 minutes

Assembly time: 2 minutes

Total time: 5 minutes

Ingredients:

  • Whole head of red cabbage, shredded
  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
  • Juice of half a lemon
  • 2 green onions, chopped green + white
  • S+P

Instructions:

  • Use The Inspiralizer to finely shred your head of cabbage. You may be able to find pre-shredded cabbage or just kick it old school and thinly slice it with a knife!
  • In a small mixing bowl, combine olive oil, apple cider vinegar, lemon and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix until well combined.
  • Pour dressing mixture over shredded cabbage and mix until cabbage is evenly coated.
  • I wait to top with the chopped green onion so the onion stays nice and crunchy. This is personal preference and you can add it during initial mixing.
  • Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Sweet Potato Mash

Serving size: 4

Prep time: 5-7 minutes

Cook time: 30 minutes

Total time: 37 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 2-3 sweet potatoes, depending on their size, chopped into 1 inch cubes
  • 1/2 yellow or sweet onion, chopped
  • 2-3 cloves of garlic, minced
  • Avocado oil spray oil (Chosen Foods)
  • S+P
  • 1/2 cup bone broth
  • 1/4 cup full-fat coconut milk

Instructions:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
  •  On a sheet pan, lay out chopped sweet potatoes, chopped onion and minced garlic...evenly distributing them.
  • Use Chosen Foods avocado oil spray to evenly coat all of the above. Season with S+P.
    *If you don't have the spray, mix all the ingredients ahead of time in a large mixing bowl and toss them with avocado oil, salt + pepper until evenly coated. Then spread out on to a sheet pan.
  •  Place in oven and cook for about 25-30 minutes. Check them half way through and give them a good mix around to make sure multiple sides are getting nice and roasted. You will want your potatoes to be fork tender so if they are still a bit hard, cook for 5-10 minutes longer.
  • Once tender, dump roasted potatoes, onion and garlic in a blender or food processor. Add bone broth + coconut milk.
  • Use pulse feature and blend until desired consistency. I like mine creamy but still a little rough so I don't process them for long. If you like yours more like a puree add a little more liquid and blend for a while longer.
  • Scoop all the creamy goodness onto your plate and stuff!

So there you have it! 3 clean, simple recipes, making one amazing meal!! Enjoy!
