Out of all of the recipes in this book, I think this one surprised me the most. I had a crazy idea, threw it in a pot one day, and ate nearly half of it myself because I liked it so much! Parsnip noodles go really well with the tuna, and the creamy sauce ties...

You’ll love this version of jambalaya made with cauliflower rice. There’s a bit of chopping, but you can prepare everything ahead of time and then put it all into the slow cooker when you’re ready. Prep time 20 minutesServes 8 1 medium onion, diced (about 11/2 cups,...

I love salt-baking things. You take an obscene amount of salt and pour it over meat or hearty root vegetables, then bake. After salt-“roasting” beets, I’ve moved on to fish and chicken. I was happy when I discovered that this method works just as well in the slow...

I never thought in a million years that I would put a whole fish in a slow cooker. It works surprisingly well and leaves the fish so tender it’s difficult to remove it from the slow cooker in one piece. Line the cooker with parchment if getting it out in one piece is...

I love making jerk salmon and pineapple skewers on the grill in the summer, and wanted to make a parchment packet version. The ghee is key here. It elevates all of the flavors and makes the fish extra tender and rich. Prep time 15 minutesServes 6 3 limes1/2 of a fresh...

I love getting a main dish and a side dish out of one slow cooker. The pesto you spread over the cod drips down onto the sweet potatoes and seasons them. And it’s easy to make your own Paleo Pesto. Prep time 15 minutesServes 6 3 pounds (1.4 kg) sweet potatoes, peeled...

One thing I love about Mexican and Tex-Mex cuisine is how most dishes basically have the same ingredients, just rearranged and proportioned differently. If you have a few basics, like some flavorful, tender meat, a couple heads of lettuce, a handful of avocados,...

This is a two-part meal in one pot! Cooking the parchment-wrapped fish over a bed of potatoes makes for easy clean up, and cutting slits in the bottom of the parchment allows the herbs and juices to season the potatoes, too. Prep time 20 minutesServes 6 2 pounds (905...

Lamb korma usually has chunks of meat, but this version has tender shreds of lamb. I prefer shredded meat over larger pieces, because more of it is covered in whatever sauce or gravy it’s cooked in. And let’s face it—the sauce is the best part. For some extra fabulous...

Meatballs are usually paired with a heavy sauce, but I love the addition of an herby vinaigrette to lighten the lamb’s strong flavor. The lamb also holds up well to the garlic slivers scattered throughout the meatballs—my favorite parts. Prep time 25 minutesMakes 24...
