Who doesn’t love a good taco? The autoimmune protocol presents some challenges when recreating typical taco flavors, but Chef Ann does a pretty good job at it keeping it authentic – especially knowing the limitations. This recipe for fish tacos is simple and clean, but most importantly it is completely AIP compliant. And that avocado crema? wow. You could definitely cook the fish outside on the grill for summer to add another layer of flavor.

If you are following a KETO program, use lettuce leaves instead of AIP tortillas!

Using Our New Sweet & Smoky BBQ Rub at Home

Sweet & Smokey BBQ Rub (AIP) was created by Chef Ann in POTG Test Kitchen for you to use on those times you just feel like cooking. This incredibly complex, down-home BBQ rub is full of familiar flavor without any non-AIP ingredients. Organic and fully AIP compliant this new seasoning will make life easier for you, and your food taste great! We put together some basic guidelines for you to follow when cooking with it. 

Cooking a Whole Chicken

Using our Sweet and Smokey BBQ Rub can help you get dinner on the table in a hurry. Want to cook a whole chicken? Rub the chicken with some olive oil then sprinkle liberally with the rub, preheat oven to 375, and place chicken in roasting pan and bake in the 375 oven for 45 minutes to 1 hour until the internal temperature at the thickest part of the chicken breast reaches 165.

Sweet and Smokey BBQ Wings

Toss the wings with some olive oil then sprinkle liberally with the rub, preheat oven to 400.  Spread wings out on a greased baking tray and bake in oven for 25 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.  They should register a minimum of 165 internal temperature.

Tastes Great on Pork Ribs

On the back of the ribs will be a very thin but very tough membrane that you must remove. Use a knife to pry up a corner of the membrane, then I just pull it down the entire length of the ribs. Once the membrane is removed, put the dry rub all over the ribs (both sides) and rub it in. The meat will take on some of the colors in the dry rub and look a little reddish. Wrap the ribs in some heavy duty tin foil. Preheat oven to 250 F.  Place the ribs wrapped securely in tin foil onto a cookie sheet and place them in the oven. cook for 2 1/2 hours. Pull them out and open the tin foil completely. Crank up the heat to 350 and put the ribs back in the oven with the tin foil open. After half an hour, they’re done.

Shrimp and Other Seafood

Toss the shrimp in olive oil and sprinkle with the rub.  Cook them in a hot skillet or on a barbecue grill turning once until they are cooked through (155F internal temperature).

To use the rub on fish, sprinkle the rub liberally on one side. Preheat oven to 350 F. Put a little oil in a heavy oven safe skillet, put the skillet over a medium high flame and get it hot.  Sear the fish in the pan, rub side down, then turn the fish once and place the skillet in the oven to finish the cooking process. It will vary depending upon the density and thickness of the fish.  Check it after a few minutes with a thermometer. It will be ready at 155 internal temperature.

Thai Curry Shrimp and Vegetable Soup (AIP)

Sometimes you want something simple, clean and fresh. This salad fits that bill nicely. I am not a big fan of raw kale most of the time, but with this curry dressing it was absolutely delicious. The fresh crisp apple provides a burst of sweetness balanced by the avocado. I think the key here is to tossing the kale well so that the dressing is well distributed, as you can see in the picture Chef Ann massaged the dressing into the kale. Try this salad as an option on a brunch buffet, or with soup for a light lunch. Or it would be really tasty with some grilled chicken on top for a delicious dinner. Give it a try and let us know how it turned out!

So many recipes for wings to choose from, but are the AIP compliant? Well this one is! The molasses give the wings a deep rich flavor while the apple cider vinegar and horseradish gives it a nice zing. The sauce doesn’t have to be used for wings only, simply baste your favorite chicken parts with sauce once they are done

Rich, creamy and decadent are words you could use to describe this delicious Carob Mousse from Chef Ann. Everyone here loved it, the only comment made was that it could be sweeter. We intentionally kept it low in natural sugar, but you can always add more dates if you’d like! This is our first specificially keto DIY recipe, so I was amazed by how rich, creamy and chocolaty this was. Having the fresh raspberries on top really made it pop. Fresh strawberries would work perfectly, as well. Aside from being really good and satisfying, it is a very simple recipe to put together. Definitely try this at home!

Prior to our trip to the Asian Market I had seen Dragon Fruit but had never tasted it. It has a light refreshing flavor that is very delicate. Paired with the raw Chayote the two balance well with the dressing made with the tart and salty Umeboshi Plums. I tried one of the plums by itself and boy was it salty. But they make a very tasty salad dressing. Give it a try!
