Yesterday we had good ole scrambled eggs and bacon for breakfast. Lunch was the usual foraging. Dinner was amazing. I am sorry to say I didn’t get a pic because my phone was dead. In any case, I will put the recipe up anyway.
Ultimate Bacon Avocado Burgers Serves 6
2 lbs grassfed ground beef
2 pastured eggs
1/2 bunch cilantro, chopped
2 green onions, chopped
1 jalepeno, minced
Unrefined sea salt
Pepper
Garlic powder
6 slices bacon
3 small sweet onions, sliced
2 avocados, sliced
3 tomatoes, sliced
Heat a cast iron skillet over a barbecue. Cook bacon slices until desired. Remove from pan. Add sliced onions to bacon fat. Sprinkle with salt and move skillet to upper rack. Cook onions until caramelized, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat.
Add chopped cilantro, chopped green onion an jalepeno to ground beef. Beat the two eggs and add them to the beef. Mix until combined. Form into 6 patties and sprinkle the surface of the parties with salt, pepper and garlic powder.
Cook burger patties on the grill over medium heat for 3-4 minutes in each side. Do not over cook or they will be dry.
Top each patty with one bacon slice, a spoonful on caramelized onions, avocado slices and sliced tomatoes. Enjoy!
For breakfast this morning, we enjoyed a Sausage Pancake cooked in the Dutch Oven along with soft “boiled” eggs cooked in the coals without a pan.
Grain-free Sausage Pancake
6 large pastured sausage links
3 eggs
1/2 cup grassfed milk or coconut milk plus 1 tsp vinegar
1/4 cup melted butter or coconut oil
2 tablespoons honey
2 cups blanched almond flour
1/2 cup arrowroot flour
1 tsp grain-free baking powder
1/2 tsp unrefined sea salt
2 tsp pure vanilla extract
Place hot coals under your Dutch oven and in the lid to preheat it.
Brown your sausage links in the bottom of the hot Dutch oven for about 5 minutes. Remove.
Carefully, place a parchment paper liner in the bottom of your Dutch oven and put the sausages back in. Our oven was a little too hot and started to scorch our paper. Next time less coals underneath. Maybe 10 or so.
Combine wet ingredients. In a separate bowl combine dry ingredients. Add the dry ingredients to the wet and mix until a thick batter forms. Pour the batter over the sausages.
Return the lid (should have about 10 coals or so on top). Bake for about 15 minutes or until slightly golden and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Campfire No-pan “Boiled” Eggs
6 eggs
Newspaper or paper towels
Aluminum Foil
Wet the newspaper or paper towels. Wrap around individual eggs. Then, wrap aluminum foil over each paper wrapped egg. Put eggs onto hot coals and cook for 6-10 minutes depending on how you like them. turn them around every couple of minutes.
Also included in our breakfast time was making new batches of milk kefir and water kefir and chopping some produce so it will be easier to use tonight. We are off to the beach for the day so it will probably be a late dinner. I want to make it as quickly a possible. Everyone is amazed at the real food we are making!
