DANIEL PLAN (GLUTEN AND SHELLFISH FREE RECIPES TO MAINTAIN A HEALTHY WEIGHT AND GOOD NUTRITION)

TACOS with ground beef

2 tablespoons canola oil (omit)
3/4 cup chopped onion
1 pound ground beef or ground turkey
1 to 3 garlic cloves
1 tablespoon chili powder
2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 teaspoons ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon salt (omit)
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 (8-ounce) can tomato sauce

1 jalapeno, seeded and minced fine (alternately, you can add hot pepper sauce to taste or canned jalapenos OR just leave out the heat altogether, although I think the meat really needs a little kick and adding the jalapeno without seeds didn’t make the dish overly spicy)

Taco shells
Additional taco garnishes

Directions: In a large skillet over medium heat, add the oil and chopped onion. Cook, stirring often, until the onion is softened, about 4-5 minutes. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking up the meat into smaller chunks, until it is cooked through, about 5 minutes. Off the heat, drain the grease from the meat.

Return the skillet to the heat and stir in the garlic, chili powder, cumin, coriander, salt and pepper. Cook for about 30 seconds and then add the tomato sauce and jalapeno. Turn the heat to low and simmer the meat mixture for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Serve in taco shells with your choice of toppings.

SOCCA (GLUTEN FREE FLATBREAD)

1 C (4.5 oz.) chickpea flour
1 C (8 oz.) water
1 ½ tbsp. extra virgin olive oil, plus more for the pan
½ tsp. salt (may want to omit)

Optional seasonings: 1 tbsp. chopped fresh herbs (rosemary, thyme, oregano), 1-2 cloves minced garlic, 1/8 to ½ tsp. spice (chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, za’atar)

Equipment: 10 in. cast iron skillet, pie tin or other metal baking dish

Makes thick 10 in. pancake or 2 thin 10 in. pancakes (recipe can be multiplied)

1. Prepare the Chickpea Batter – Whisk together the chickpea flour, water, olive oil, salt in a small bowl. Let rest for 1/2 hour to 2 hours to give flour time to absorb the water.
2. Heat the Broiler and the Pan – Set an oven rack six inches below your broiler and turn on the broiler. Set a cast iron skillet or other baking dish on rack to warm for 5 minutes.
3. Pour the Batter – Remove skillet from oven with mitts. Add tsp. of olive oil and swirl to coat bottom of pan. Whisk the chickpea batter quickly then pour half into the hot skillet, more if you want a thick pancake, thinner for 2 thin pancakes. Tilt pan so batter coats bottom.
4. Broil the Socca – Broil for 3 to 5 minutes until top begins to blisters and browns. If you find the top browning before the batter is fully set, move the skillet to a lower oven rack until done. The socca should be fairly flexible in the middle but crispy on the edges.
5. Slice and Serve – Use a spatula to work your way under the socca and ease it from the pan. Slice it into wedges or squares, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and drizzle with a little good olive oil. Repeat with any remaining batter.

Socca is best if eaten immediately after baking while still warm, but can be refrigerated and re-toasted for up to a week.

Additional Notes:
• To Bake in the Oven: Heat the oven to 450°F and pre-heat the baking dish for 5 minutes. Bake the socca for 8-10 minutes, until it’s cooked through, then run it under the broiler to blister the top.
• To Bake on the Stove Top: Film a pan with oil and set over medium-high heat. Pour in the socca batter. After about 3 minutes when the edges are firm, gently lift the pancake and flip it. Cook on the other side for another 2 to 3 minutes, until both surfaces are dry and beginning to brown.
• Finding Chickpea Flour: You can find chickpea flour in the bulk bins at Whole Foods and other natural foods-type stores. Bob’s Red Mill also sells it in packages. Look for it under the name “garbanzo bean flour” if you’re having trouble finding it. They are the same product.

FREEZING AVOCADOS

Freeze ripe avocados two ways: one peeled and quartered, and the other mashed with a little bit of lemon juice. Both versions were placed in plastic freezer bags and frozen for several days.
