Yup, dropped off the face of the Earth again. Having to remain on a modified AIP diet when all they're giving out at food pantries and public schools are pasta, rice, cereal, and frozen sandwiches is hard, you guys. Read more I legit can't eat that stuff anymore, I've tried. It gets me so sick. This right here is the first time I've had a home cooked meal in a hot minute. Sweet potato noodles from an Asian supermarket and a can of pumpkin puree from dollar tree is about as good and cheap as I'm going to get. If you're on AIP or a nightshade free diet this is a godsend. See less
Ingredients
- 1 can (15oz) Pumpkin purée (any brand) shopping list
- This is all you need aside from spices if it's all you can afford. If you have a few extra bucks, dollar tree also sells: shopping list
- 1/4 cup Pickled jalapeños, diced shopping list
- 2 Tbsp coconut oil (separated) shopping list
- 2 Tbsp Lemon juice shopping list
- If you have it, add: shopping list
- 1/2 Cup yellow onion, diced shopping list
- 2 cloves garlic, minced shopping list
- Cumin, red pepper flakes, chili powder, garlic powder, hot sauce, dried ginger, coriander, turmeric, white pepper. In whatever quantity you like. If you can have black pepper, that's better because it'll make the turmeric more bioavailable. shopping list
How to make it
- Add 1 Tbsp of coconut oil to a small saucepan over medium heat. When oil is hot, throw in the onions, garlic, and jalapeños. Mix with wooden spoon or rubber spatula. I like to add the spices at this point too, because the earlier you put in the red pepper flakes, the more heat you get.
- Sauté, cutting heat down to low. Make sure the onions and garlic get browned around the sides, about 3-5 mins. Deglaze with the lemon juice, and you can even pour some of the picking juice from the jar of jalapeños if you want. Mix well.
- Add pumpkin purée and fold veggies in thoroughly. Add the extra Tbsp of coconut oil to smooth out the sauce. Once the purée is in the pan it will burn easily so it needs to be stirred constantly. Taste a bit to see if it needs more seasoning, cut heat off completely when satisfied.
- That's it, for real. Easy peasy.
- Serve over whatever noodles you can digest. Asian supermarkets have sweet potato noodles, mung bean noodles, a lot more gluten free/paleo/AIP varieties than stop & shop and them. Hope you enjoy!
Sauté veg, I added the jalapeños later
