Mix beef strips with olive oil and garlic. Heat deep electric
frypan on high, stir-fry beef strips in batches, removing
each batch when cooked.
Return beef to frypan with all other ingredients.
Because spinach is so bulky when raw you may need to add half,
wait until it wilts down then add the other half.
Cook on low until meat is cook through and all spinach is
wilted.
Garnish with basil leaves.

Beef Stew
Slow cooker or casserole in the oven works great for this
- 3 lbs stew beef
- juice of two lemons
- 2 cup beef stock
(homemade, not store-bought)
- 2 onions chopped
- 1 1/2 tsp ground
cumin
- 1 cup chopped green
chiles, (hot or mild)

Hamburger Pie
(Shepherds Pie)
- 1 1/2 lbs ground
beef
- 1 onion -- chopped
- 1 small bell pepper
-- chopped
- 2-3 cloves garlic
-- minced
- 24 oz. tomato juice
(no added sugars)
- salt and pepper
to taste
- Frozen Peas, or
string beans, or
fresh green beans if possible.
- 1 head cauliflower
- 1 stick unsalted
butter
- 12 oz. sharp cheddar
cheese ( you experiment with different kinds and quatities of
cheese)
Directions:
Brown ground beef, onion, bell pepper, and garlic. ( If you
are concerned about the fat left in pan, you can brown meat
in microwave. Take a plastic colander and place in microwavable
bowl. Break meat apart and place in colandar and microwave till
brown, stirring occassionally. The fat will drip into bowl and
you can throw it away.) Add tomato juice and string beans (or
peas or a mixture of the two) and cook on top of stove till
it thickens. Add salt and pepper to taste.
While the meat sauce is cooking you can cook the cauliflower
till tender. Drain cauliflower and then beat or blend in food
processor. Add buter and salt and pepper and about 1/2 of the
cheese. (These are a variation of the cauliflower potatos.
Put meat in a casserole dish. Top with cauliflower potatos and
then top with cheese. Bake at 350 degrees for about 30 minutes.
****Note:
I sometimes put mine in individual casserole dishes, bake and
then when they are cooled down. I freeze them. This way I have
something I can take with me. I just heat it up in a microwave.

South African Biltong
(I)
This recipe is best begun in the morning.
Use lean beef cut into strips - I use topside.
Put one layer of meat into a bowl. Mix together some coriander
(cilantro), salt, a little pepper and some
vinegar. Sprinkle this mixture over the layer of meat, then
put in another layer and sprinkle it and so on until all the
meat is in the bowl. Leave it in the refrigerator for a few
hours, then turn it over and leave for a few more hours.
To dry the meat, South Africans hang it outdoors on hooks, in
a well-airedposition - but only AT NIGHT. after a week of night-time
hanging, the meat is ready
You can also use a dehydrator to dry it in about 20 hours.
- 1 1/2 cups salt
- 1/2 cup coriander (cilantro)
- 2 tsp nutmeg
- 2 tsp cloves
- 2 tsp mixed spice (try to make your own)
- 2 tsp ground mace
- 2 cups vinegar
Mix all spices together. Use as much as you want of each. Sprinkle
on meat. Marinate for 24 hours then hang at night or dry in
dehydrator.
That's all for now -

Real
South African Biltong (II)
Ingredients
needed:
After
the hour, scrape off all the excess salt with a knife (don't soak
it in water!). Then get some vinegar - preferably apple-cider
vinegar, but any vinegar will do. Put some vinegar in a bowl and
dip the strips of meat in the vinegar for a second or so - just
so that the meat is covered in the vinegar. Hold the biltong up
so that the excess vinegar drips off. Then sprinkle ground pepper
and ground coriander over the meat on all sides. Once you have
done this, the meat is ready to dry. There are several methods
of drying. One is to hang it up on a line in a cool place and
have a fan blow on it. This method is a bit difficult because
if the air is humid the meat can spoil. The method I use is a
home-made 'Biltong Box'. This is basically a sealed wooden box
(you can use cardboard if you like) with holes in it and a 60w
lightbulb inside. Just hang the meat at the top of the box, and
leave the lightbulb on at the bottom. The heat from the lightbulb
helps dry the meat (even in humid weather) in about 3-4 days.
Remember, the box must be closed on all 6 sides except for a few
holes (as per the diagram below). The whole theory behind this
method is that hot dry air rises thus drying the biltong. The
holes are quite important as they promote good air circulation
in the box.
You'll
know when the biltong is ready when it is quite hard, but still
a bit moist inside. Of course, some people like it 'wet' and others
like it 'dry'. It's all a matter of taste. Most South Africans
I know like it in between - basically just a bit red inside. If
it has gone green, then the meat has spoiled (i.e. don't eat it).
Variations
include the above recipe, but add flavours like Worcestershire
sauce, BBQ sauce, tabasco sauce, soy sauce, etc.. Just brush these
sauces on after applying the vinegar using a basting brush.
NOTE
FROM CECILIA - DON'T BE TOO CONCERNED ABOUT BUILDING THE DRYING
BOX. I USE A COMMERCIAL FOOD DRYER. IT TAKES AGES BUT WORKS.

Vegetable and Meat Lasagne
(I brought this to a potluck dinner and normal eating people
went back for seconds)
* When I cook I usually just throw things in without measuring,
so I am approximating amounts. You may have to taste.
- 1 lb. ground beef
- onion (1/2 cup
minced)
- 4 toes of garlic
- (I put through a garlic press)
- three grated carrots
- 20 oz tomato juice
(no added sugars)
- 1 fresh tomato
diced (optional)
- 1/2 teas.thyme
- 1/2 teas. oregano
- Salt and pepper
to taste
- Any other seasonings
you normally put in your spaghetti sauce.
- Parmesan or Romano
cheese or a mixture of both. (grated).
- Cheddar Cheese
(grated)
- Zucchini squash,
peeled, sliced thin lenghwise
Brown meat (I brown my meat by putting in a plastic collander
and putting collander in bowl and microwaving till brown. I
break it up with a spoon as it is browning. This way all the
extra fat drips into the bowl.)
Add minced onion, garlic, carrots, tomato juice, tomato and
seasonings. Let this cook till all vegetables are cooked and
the sauce is at the concistency you would like.
Put a little sauce on the bottom of pan and then layer squash,
sauce and cheese. Then repeat ending with cheese. I usually
do 2 layers.
Bake in a 350 degree oven for 30 minutes or until cheese is
completely melted.

- 2lbs beef stew meat
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/8 tsp pepper
- 1/8 tsp thyme leaves
- 1/8 tsp marjoram
leaves
- 1/8 tsp rosemary
leaves
- 6 whole carrots,
cut into chunks
- 3 stalks celery
thickly sliced
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 1/4 to 1/2 cup red
wine
- 2 cups chopped tomatoes
and their juice
Heat oven to 250
degrees. In ungreased 3-quart casserole, combine all ingredients;
mix well.
Cover; bake for 5 to 6 hours or until meat and vegetables
are tender, stirring occasionally.
6 to 8 servings
Note: I usually layer the meat first, then the veggies, then
the tomatoes with all the spices in it. This can probably
be cooked in a crock pot as well.

Stuffed London Broil
Here's a fussy beef dish that we love. It's worth the fuss.
- 2 to 3 pound
one inch thick London Broil (have a butcher butterfly it --
almost cut in half lengthwise or do it yourself with a very
sharp knife.
Open it up and pound it out a bit with a mallet. You want
it to be fairly thin so that it rolls.)
- 8 oz. homemade
oil-soaked sundried tomatoes
- 1/3 cup oil cured
olives(black or green pitted)
- garlic to taste(minced)
- 2 thinly sliced
onions
- 1/3 to 1/2 cup
fresh parmesan or asiago cheese(grated)
- 20 oz. chopped
spinach, or kale
- 3 tbs. fruity
olive oil (I like very dark green ones from Greece)
- pepper and salt
to taste
Process sundried tomatoes, some of oil and the olives. You
want to have a paste. Saute onions in olive oil till barely
golden. Add minced garlic and cook for a minute. Add greens
and mix well. Spread tomato/olive mix over beef. Spread greens/onion
mix over that. Sprinkle cheese over
all. Carefully roll beef up and secure with butcher's twine.
Sprinkle with pepper and salt. Place in 350 F (180 C) oven
for one hour. Let cool to room temp. Take off twine and cut
in slices. I serve this with oven roasted turnips or carrots
and grilled tomatoes.

beef / buffalo / venison / lamb / kangaroo

Hi William
You
asked for my pemmican recipe - I have FOUR of them, and out of
those four, with MUCH trial and error, I have formulated one which
I think is the best way to do it. By the way, the best way to
grind dried meat is in a blender, I have now discovered!
Beef, Buffalo, Venison, Lamb Jerky
Fresh
beef suet (Optional) - Dried fruit leathers or sultanas (golden
raisins) or dried blueberries or any seedless dried fruit not
preserved with sulphites.
Render
(melt) the suet, until it becomes a rich golden-brown liquid.
Strain it and throw away any solids that remain. Allow it to cool
- it will turn white. (Rendering twice will give the suet better
keeping qualities.)
In a
blender, grind the dried meat to a powder. Chop or grind the dried
fruits and mix them with the dried meat powder.
Heat
the suet for the second time. Make sure it is as hot as it can
get without smoking. (Smoking means burning.) Pour the suet into
the dried meat mixture, adding JUST ENOUGH to moisten the particles.
If the suet is too cool you will have to use a lot of it to stick
the mixture together and the pemmican will be too rich and fatty.
At this point, if the suet is cooling down too quickly to allow
it to soak in properly, you can microwave the whole mixture to
warm it up.
Press
the warm pemmican into a bar tin, using the back of a spoon. Allow
it to cool in the fridge then turn it out and cut it into bars
about the size and shape of candy bars.
Wrap
each bar in waxed paper or lunch paper and close it with a sticky
label displaying the type of pemmican you have made - eg. "Venison
& Blueberry", or "Plain Beef" or "Buffalo
& Apple/Peach".
I have
been told that pemmican will keep for months out of the fridge,
if properly made. This makes it a wonderful high energy travelling
food.
I have
also been told that pemmican is an acquired taste. If anyone makes
it please tell me what you thought of it.
I also
have 2 more good recipes for South African Biltong (Jerky), if
anyone wants them.
Happy
pemmican-making -
Cecilia.
PS you
can also use kangaroo meat...

Pizza
with Hamburger Crust
Here's a recipe
I adapted for SCD (even my husband likes it, and he's not on the
diet:
Heat oven to
425 F
Mix
- 1 lb hamburger
- 1/2 cup nut flour
- 1 teaspoon salt (I
don't use that much)
- 1/2 tsp oregano
Stir in 1/2 cup SCD friendly tomato sauce
Spread meat mixture in ungreased 10-inch pizza pan or on the bottom
side of a 10 inch pie pan. (It's kind of greasy).
Pour 1/2 cup tomato sauce on top
Cover with cheddar cheese and other toppings
Bake uncovered for 20 minutes.
It tastes a lot like pizza.
Good luck with the diet. It's hard, but it's worth it.

Fried Stuffed Jalepeño Peppers
This is a receipe for an appetizer.
- Fresh Jalepeño
Peppers
- Cheese of your choice
( I used extra sharp cheddar)
- Pork Skins (processed
into crumbs)
- 1 egg to coat pepper
- oil to cook pepper
in
Slice open one side of jalepeno and stuff with cheese. Dip in
egg and then in pork skin crumbs.
Dip in egg again and pork skin crumbs. This will give you a
double coating. Fry in oil until they are golden brown. They
are delicious.
If you do not like jalepeno peppers use another kind.
I plan on also trying to use these pork skin crumbs to fry oysters,
shrimp, and fish. I just haven't had a chance.

Boneless Pork Chops with Ginger, Fig, and
Lemon Compote
This is really yummy and totally SCD friendly, the sauce would
probably be good with chicken and duck breast too.
The recipe can be prepared in 45 minutes or less.
- 1 lemon
- 1 medium shallot
- 4 dried figs (preferably
home-dried or Calimyrna)
- two 1 1/4-inch-thick
boneless pork loin chops (about 3/4 pound)
- 1 tablespoon olive
oil
- 1 teaspoon grated
peeled fresh gingerroot
- 1/3 cup water
- 2 tablespoons dry
white wine
- 1 tablespoon unsalted
butter
Garnish: lemon slices
With a vegetable peeler cut 3 lengthwise strips of zest from
lemon and cut strips crosswise into enough very thin slices
to measure 1 packed teaspoon. Squeeze 2 tablespoons juice from
lemon. Mince shallot and cut figs into 1/4-inch-thick slices.
Pat pork dry and season with salt and pepper. In a skillet heat
oil over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking and
saute pork until browned, about 1 minute on each side. Transfer
pork to a plate and in fat remaining in skillet cook shallot
and gingerroot, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Add pork, water, wine, zest, lemon juice, and figs and simmer,
covered, 10 minutes, or until pork is just cooked through.
Transfer pork to 2 plates and if fig mixture is too liquid boil
until reduced to a sauce-like consistency, about 1 minute. Whisk
butter into fig mixture until incorporated.
Garnish pork with compote and serve with lemon slices.
Serves 2.

Black Beans and Pork Chops
Hello Everyone,
The recipe below is my take on my mother-in-laws Black Beans
Roast Pork and Rice. Of course we can't have the rice but
it turns out just about everything else in the recipe is fine.
- 3-4 medium boneless
pork chops
- 1 onion
- 1/4 Cup diced red
roasted peppers
- 2 cloves of garlic
- 1 tsp of Cumin
- 1 tsp of Tarragon
- 2 cups of presoaked
and drained Black Beans (as per the BTVC book. Note: black beans
are not listed in the book but have since been approved by Elaine
on the listserve.)
- 1/4 cup red wine
- 1 cup of chicken
broth (or you can use water if you don't have the broth)
- Water ( contiually
add as beans cook down)
- salt and pepper
to taste
Chop onion and press garlic cloves into a 3 quart saucepan and
simmer in a little olive oil..... as these cook down palce the
pork chops in the pan and sear them...whan the pork chops are
lightly browned add the black beans , red peppers and spices
and wine... Add the chicken broth, cover and cook slow and for
a long time (3+ hours) the longer you cook it the better they
taste. Stir the beans frequently and smash them with a spoon
on the edge of the pan. This causes them to become like refried
beans. You'll know the beans are cooked when they smash easily.
Eventually the pork chops will fall apart. If the beans need
to cook longer add more water and let them cook down.
I've made them in the crock pot but it seemed that the beans
needed longer to cook they were still on the crunchy side.
Hope you enjoy them,
Sharon

Dan's Chili
I have never personally used "chili powder" and is the
reason for my previous post on the subject. With that said, my
wife does. Here's my wife's version of the chili recipe... quite
good :)
-
1
pkg of white (navy) beans (900g -- 2 lbs)
-
Soak
overnight (8-12 hours). Throw away water. Add new water to
cover and simmer (bring to boil and then reduce) 2-3 hours.
Drain and put in large roaster.
-
2 lbs hamburger
-
4 cloves garlic
Fry
hamburger and garlic until cooked. Drain fat and put in roaster.
The following are good carbohydrates, and you need not use
all of them.
-
2 zucchini cut in chunks
-
4 grated carrots
-
5 chopped tomatoes
-
3 chopped onions
-
5 stalks of celery
Sautee
ingredients listed above with oil or butter until tender.
Put into the roaster.
-
1-2 cans (large) tomato juice
-
2 tsp chili powder (or any spices)
-
2 tsp red pepper flakes
The
spices can be added to your liking. Add to roaster and stir.
Bake
in 300 degree (F) oven for 2-3 hours. Stir every 30 minutes.
You may have to add more tomato juice.
Makes
a large quantity and freezes well in serving size containers.
Thanks...
Dan.

- 0.5kg/1lb lean minced
beef
- 1 medium aubergine/eggplant
- 2 cloves garlic
- salt
- 100g/4oz cheddar
cheese, grated
- olive oil
- sunflower oil
Slice the aubergines quite thinly (about 3-4mm) and layer them
in a deep dish, salting each layer as you go. Leave them at
least an hour, preferably two, and then drain and rinse off
the juice which appears. Shake them dry.
Heat a frying pan and fry single layers of aubergine in olive
oil until darkened and tender. When all the aubergine is cooked
put it aside.
Heat some sunflower oil and cook the mince until just brown,
adding the pressed garlic in the last minute or two.
Layer in the order meat -> aubergine -> grated cheese
in a deep dish (two or three repeats of the layers) and bake
in a medium hot oven for about twenty minutes, until the top
cheese layer is golden and bubbly.

Chorizo Clasico Mexican Sausage
Makes about 2 lbs
- 8 dried mild red
chiles, preferably 4 anchos and 4 New Mexican
- 1 3/4 lb
ground pork or hamburger
- 1/2 cup minced
onions
- 2 TBL white vinegar
- 10 garlic cloves,
minced or pressed
- 2 tsp cumin seeds,
toasted and ground
- 2 tsp dried oregano
- 1 1/2 tsp
salt
- 1 1/2 tsp
fresh ground black pepper
- 1/2 tsp ground
coriander
- pinch of cinnamon
Preheat the oven to 350 F. Break the stem off the chile pods
and discard most of the seeds. Place the pods in a single
layer on a baking sheet and roast them for about 5 minutes,
being careful not to scorch them. After chiles have cooled
off enough to handle, break each chile into several pieces.
Transfer the pieces to a blender and blend until they are
evenly ground. In a medium bowl, mix together the ground chiles
and all the other ingredients. Cover the bowl and refrigerate
it for at least 24 hours. Fry it crumbled over medium-low
heat until it is richly browned. The chorizo keeps
uncooked and refrigerated for about a week and freezes well.
Figure out how much you are likely to use at one time, and
freeze that amount up in little packets. If using beef instead
of pork, you might want to put about a tsp of a
mild oil in the pan when you cook it up, or add maybe 1/4
cup oil to the recipe.
I usually make the below recipe with it:
SCRAMBLED EGGS WITH CHORIZO AND CHEESE
Cook up the chorizo in a fry pan, removing excess oil if it
forms.
Stir eggs in a bowl with a fork, add some greated cheese.
Pour egg and cheese mixture over cooked chorizo and let cook
over medium heat until done, stirring gently occasionally.

Saurkraut
My favorite recipe for saurkraut:
Wash the saurkraut very, very well. chop one large onion and
add all to the crockpot. Just cover the mixture with chicken
broth and add a quarter cup of dry white wine. Sprinkle a little
salt and pepper to taste, and maybe some of your favorite chicken
flavoring seasonings, in moderation. Layer pork chops on the
top and let it cook all day. You can substitute sausages (only
SCD allowable) but those you would add in the last hour. Drain
and serve.
We have never found anyone who hated saurkraut that did not
change their mind when they tasted "Rene's Saurkraut".
Enjoy,

Pork Chops and Baked Apples
Brown 2 pork chop or pork steaks in a fry pan
Peel, core, and slice 2 medium apples into the bottom of a small
casserole dish.
Sprinkle the apples with cinnamon and dot with a small amount
of butter (butter is optional since the meat probably contains
sufficient fat).
Drizzle with honey and lay the meat over the apples.
Bake covered at 400 degrees F (220 C) for 20 min. Remove top
and bake until pork
is done but still moist (approx. 30 additional minutes).
Serves 2
Easy to make and suprisingly tasty
Enjoy,
Tim
