Recipes for the Paleo Diet
In the process of evolution, humans thrived on very basic foods such as game meat that they hunted for (Bear, Kangaroo, Turtle, Reindeer, Wild boar, etc), lean meat (London broil, Pork chops, Lean veal, beef, etc.), fish and shellfish, fowl, roots of plants, leaves, fruits and even flowers. The first methods of eating these foods, before man discovered fire were raw without even cleaning them. But when he realized the digestion problems he had to face because of them, he avoided eating those or cooking them after the discovery of fire.
Foods such as grains, potatoes, beans and others cannot be consumed without cooking and thus they were avoided by the paleolithic man. When man realized the importance of agriculture and domestication, he brought foods such as flour, yogurt, sugar and salt into his diet. Therefore, the paleolithic diet doesn't consist of these foods, but the ones that were eaten raw. However, today, it is not possible to eat these foods in the same manner like the paleolithic man, and thus they are prepared with spices and tasteful ingredients. Here are some paleo diet recipes mentioned just for, take a look.
Leafy Chips
Ingredients
1 bunch of any leafy vegetable (kale, spinach, etc.)
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 tablespoon melted cooking fat
Ground black pepper
Sea salt
Directions
You can start by washing the leafy vegetables thoroughly with warm water and then drain and dry, while you preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. You can either cut the stems and shape them in the form of chips. In a bowl, add the cooking fat and place the leaves in the bowl so that the fat is spread on them. Then season it with lemon juice, salt and pepper and place them on the baking dish. Bake them in the oven for about 30 minutes and then serve with some freshly prepared dip. This recipe can be included in paleo diet breakfast recipes, which also include recipes like scrambled eggs, salads, etc.
