Flintstones special!

Two dishes here!

First up is a brunch all in one dish fit for a king and the second is a smaller dish fit for his/her servant!

Large first dish ingredients: (Feeds 1- 3 people)
.1 Sausage(any kind) home made even better!
. 2 or more eggs(any kind).
.1/2 Spanish onion or your choice large dice.
.1/2 green bell pepper large dice.
.4 Brussels sprouts split.
.2 large cloves of chopped garlic.
. 1 tbs of small capers.
.2-3 dried sun ripe tomatoes reconstituted in some chicken broth or water then chopped.
.1 tbs good quality Dijon mustard( like Edmond Fallot brand)
.1 tsp cumin.
.1/2 tsp allspice
.1/2 paprika.
.1/2 tsp chili or cayenne powder.
.Spanish smoked salt or sea salt and pepper to taste.
. 1 tbs of Fat for cooking(raw grass fed butter, animal, palm, coconut or olive oil).
.A few Thin sliced Raw goat or Spanish Manchego cheese(sheep's milk) Paleo issues look up Weston A. Price foundation.

Second dish ingredients: (Scottish egg)
.Any egg you like( chicken, duck or even goose egg..this one is soft ball size!
.1 or 2 raw crumbled sausage..depending on size of eggs.
.1 beaten egg for dredging.
1/3 cup Almond meal or flour.
1/2 tsp of salt,pepper and cayenne.
.1 tbs of fat.

Cook first dish: Pre heat broiler.
Cut up sausage and saute in some fat for about 2-3 min on med heat then add onions, bell peppers and cook for 5 min then add garlic capers and tomatoes and cook for about 2 min then add mustard and cook one minute saute all together then add the eggs on top cook for about 2-3 min then top with some cheese put under broiler for about 2 -3 min or so to heat top up BUT keep and eye on b/c it could burn quickly! Dust it of with a little chili powder and smoked salt if you have any.

Cook second small dish:
Boil eggs for 5 - 10 min depending on how you like them and let cool a bit to handle then discard shells. Beat up egg in a small cup/bowl and place almond flour/ spice mix on another small plate. Mix the fat/oil into the sausage well and cover entire egg with it..it's tricky! Then cover in egg wash and then in flour/spice mix. The you can deep fry them for about 2-3 min or pan fry them like i do in some oil b/c frying for me is a waste of oil. Serve hot with Avocado wedges if you like or Plantain chips, dried Pineapple slices if you have any.

Beetroot cake from (Paleo cookbook)

I tried this out when it was warm. I left it in fridge over night and tasted it but not as good as being warm so warm up a piece before serving. I whipped up some heavy raw organic grass fed cream (not paleo)and topped it off a little. Not a very sweet cake. Pic is from camera phone so it's not the best resolution :o(

Ingredients
2 large beetroot or 2 cups worth of grated beetroot
1½ cups almond meal
½ cup cocoa powder
1/3 cup honey
1tsp baking powder (optional, not paleo)
3 eggs
A few drops of coconut and/or maple extract..(optional). (Frontier makes a good one found@Whole Foods, Home Economist or gourmet markets) about $4 bucks/2 fl oz bottle but a few drops goes a long way!

Instructions
Pre-heat oven to 356 degrees Fahrenheit.
Peel beetroot and boil in water for 40-60min, or
until tender and cooked through. Remove from pan
and leave to cool.
When beetroot has cooled, grate and remove excess
liquid.
Place grated beetroot in a large mixing bowl along
with other ingredients and combine well using a
wooden spoon.
Line a cake tin with baking paper and poor in
beetroot mixture.
Place in oven for 50-60min or until cooked. Test by
inserting a knife into the middle of the cake, if it
comes out clean it is cooked through.

NOTE: If you would prefer not to use baking powder,
separate 2-3 eggs and beat the egg whites until stiff peaks
form, then fold into the zucchini mixture. This will help in
aerating the cake
