Ground Pork with Chopped Onions and Turnips (Serves 1) Turnips and turnip greens have been coming home with me from the farm lately. I had ground pork with chopped onions and turnip greens for lunch and then made ground pork with chopped onions and turnips for supper. Both meals were really good. I have been buying plain ground pork and adding my own spices. I think the key to good taste is adding spices generously. No timid shake or two of...

Rabbit Livers with Onions and Dried Cranberries over Wilted Greens and Yellow Bell Pepper (Serves 1-2) Rabbit liver is the best food you have never had. I am sure you have never had it because most people have never eaten any part of a rabbit. I cook rabbit meat several times per year, but had never even thought about rabbit liver. My friend Phil Busman raises rabbits, chickens, and sheep. He often gives me chicken gizzards, hearts, and...

Ribeye Steak with Artichoke Hearts, Fire-Roasted Tomatoes, and Chopped Onions (Serves 2) The meat case at Whole Foods called out to my wife when we visited last night and we came home with a pair of grass fed ribeye steaks – $33 dollars worth. She insisted on getting two because she thought I would eat a whole one, but I convinced her to let me save one for another night. The steak was over 1.5 inches thick and cooked perfectly in 12...

Pressure Cooker Pork with Sliced Onions, Diced Tomatoes, Green Chilies, and Cauliflower (Serves 3-4) One of the benefits of using a pressure cooker is that you can work with frozen meat. This is of great use to me because I often fail to thaw anything out the day before I am ready to cook. I made this dish in two stages – first cooking the meat with onions, tomatoes, and green chilies, and then adding the cauliflower late in the...

Ground Chorizo Sausage with Chopped Onion and Marinara Sauce over Spaghetti Squash (Serves 1-2) The popularity of spaghetti squash in Paleo circles inspired me to ignore it for a long time. I have avoided good things more than once in my life, but am no longer ignoring spaghetti squash! I was in the mood for something new the other day and brought one home from the store. Topping the squash with chorizo and chopped onion seemed like a good...

Ground Chorizo Sausage with Beet and Radish Greens, Chopped Onion, and Radishes (Serves 1-2) I take all the beet greens I can get from my local farmer. Most of his customers don’t care for them, but I like them a lot. I also like radish greens. Fresh radish greens are prickly and not everyone will eat them, but I find they cook down nicely and lose all their prickliness. I mixed beet and radish greens recently because I did not have...

Pulled Slow Cooker Pork Shoulder with Kale, Onions, Cashews, and Dried Cranberries One of my favorite meals is pulled slow cooker meat with wilted greens. I try to eat this meal as often as once per day and at least several times per week. The approach is the same regardless of the meat or greens used and I have published recipes before, but I wanted to share another one to emphasize my thoughts on its importance. Slow Cooker Pork Shoulder...
