Coconut Chicken Strips with Blackberry Mango Sauce (photo by recipe author)

Servings: 4-6
Preparation Time: 30 minutes

Sauce:

  • 1/4 cup blackberries
  • 3/4 cup mango, diced
  • 1 small jalapeno, seeded and diced
  • 1 teaspoon organic fermented soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon tapioca starch

In a bowl, combine milk and lemon juice. Add chicken strips into milk mixture and let sit for a few minutes.

In a separate bowl, combine remaining ingredients and mix well. Gently coat each chicken strip in dry mixture and place in a skillet to fry or on a greased baking sheet. Pan fry in olive or coconut oil or bake at 400 °F for about 20 minutes (turning halfway through) or until chicken is cooked through.

While chicken is baking, place sauce ingredients in a small blender. Blend until smooth and pour into a saucepan. Bring mixture to boil, stirring constantly and cook for about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and let sit for a few minutes before serving with chicken strips.

Gluten Free Tropical BBQ Pizza


Gluten Free Tropical BBQ Pizza Recipe photo

Gluten Free Tropical BBQ Pizza (photo by recipe author)

Servings: 8
Preparation Time: 20 minutes

Almond Flour Pizza Crust with Coconut Oil:

Our Tropical Toppings:

  • 1/2 cup BBQ sauce (I used a sweet & spicy Chipotle BBQ) – divided portions
  • 1 1/2 cups diced roasted chicken
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella
  • 8 ounces chopped pineapple
  • 1/4 cup shredded coconut
  • 1/2 purple onion – finely diced or sliced
  • Handful of chopped cilantro, stems removed

Mix crust ingredients together to form a dough. Will look just a bit sticky at this point. That is expected. Just let it rest in the bowl for 10 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees ºF.

Tear off two pieces of parchment paper just larger than your pizza pan or stone. Cut one piece to the round shape and size of the pan or stone and make that the bottom piece. Place dough between the two pieces of parchment paper and roll it until desired thickness. You might find it more of a pressing out with the rolling pin rather than rolling, but just roll it out to the size of the bottom parchment piece. I made mine in a 15? round pan which produces a thin crust that is plenty sturdy to handle lots of toppings.

Remove the top paper and discard. Trim the edges into a nice round crust, like you might a pie crust edge then transfer the crust, leaving it on the bottom paper, to a pizza pan.

Bake for 10-15 minutes until middle is firm, just barely beginning to hint at browning, before the crust is too crispy because it will cook more after topping added. Don’t overcook at this point.

Take out of the oven and top with your desired pizza toppings. We used these:

Add a very thin layer of your BBQ sauce, using a spatula makes this easier to spread and get it evenly to the crust edge. Then add the cheese – ours is 2 cups of good quality mozzarella. Next, mix the remaining BBQ sauce with your deboned and cubed roasted chicken. Then cover the top evenly with the BBQ chicken. Sprinkle with the shredded coconut, the drained pineapple bits, and the finely diced purple onion.

Put the pizza back in the oven for about 10-15 minutes – until hot and the cheese is beginning to brown and bubbling.

Top the cooked pizza with the fresh chopped cilantro and serve!

For the topping:

Stir together the crust ingredients, incorporating everything well. It should stick together without being too oily or wet. Press firmly into an 8×8 baking dish.

Mix together the topping ingredients, using enough coconut cream to thoroughly moisten the coconut flakes and hold everything together. Spread evenly over the crust and then press down firmly into the crust.

Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until the coconut oil is solidified and you can cut squares without everything crumbling.

Individual Strawberry Coconut Rhubarb Crisps (photo by recipe author)

Servings: 2
Preparation Time: 15 minutes

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees ºF.

In a small bowl, stir together the strawberries, rhubarb, and one tablespoon of arrowroot to coat. Stir in the teaspoon of honey and the vanilla.

In another small bowl, stir together the almond flour, coconut, and remaining arrowroot. Use a fork to cut in the butter, and then stir in the remaining honey. It will be fairly wet.

Lightly butter two, 8 ounce ramekins. Divide the fruit mixture evenly between both, and then use a spoon to spread the topping evenly over the fruit. Place the ramekins in a baking dish with a rim, as you will get some spill-over from the bubbling fruit.

Bake for 45 minutes, or until the topping is lightly browned and the fruit juices are bubbly and appear to be thickened. Serve hot or at room temperature.

Preparation Time: 30 minutes

Preheat oven to 325 degrees ºF. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.

Roll into golf-ball sized cookies, and flatten slightly with your palm. The cookies shouldn’t spread too much, so you can place them about an inch apart.

Bake for 8-12 minutes, until the cookies are golden and fragrant.

Best when served chilled.

*You can grind your own almond flour by placing whole almonds in a blender/food processor and blending until you get a fine meal.
