When you take most grains out of your diet, you may often
wonder if you will ever be able to eat some of your favourite foods again. Enter
the humble lettuce leaf…we have used them as wraps, sandwich bread, Sloppy Joe
vessels, and burger buns. After the
initial weirdness wears off, you won’t miss the bread at all. Romaine and green leaf lettuce seem to work
the best, you need a lettuce with a bit of body to it. Just be prepared for some mess,
they are not the neatest things to eat!!
A lot of home made burgers have bread crumbs in them, I find them to be way juicer without. Give it a try! I don't think you'll miss them anymore than you miss the buns!
Grass Fed Beef
Burgers
1 lb lean grass fed ground beef
1 pastured egg
1 tsp grainy organic mustard
1 clove organic garlic, minced
2 tsp dried organic oregano
¾ tsp Herbamare or other unrefined sea salt
Mix all ingredients together, I find it easiest to use my
hands to get everything well incorporated. Divide into 4 even pieces and shape
into evenly thick patties. Cook over medium heat on a preheated bbq grill or over medium high heat in a nice
hot cast iron pan with a bit of coconut oil. Cook on the first side for 6 minutes, and then flip and
cook for another 3.
Serve hot between lettuce leaves, topped with your choice of
toppings. We topped it with a nice slice of raw cheddar, some sautéed organic mushrooms and onions and
a dollop of the organic grainy mustard.
