Now, for those of you that have fully embraced your
omnivorous nature, there are a couple of things to keep in mind. First is that most livestock is near the top
of the food chain, so that means it must be sourced well. Yes, it is a good idea to make most of your fruits
and vegetables organic. But, organic
meat is a must. The second factor is,
make sure it’s grass-fed or pasture-raised.
How livestock is raised determines whether it is damaging to your
health, or health-promoting. These two
factors are essential if you choose to eat meat. Again, I won’t go into details here, as there
are many people out there educating the public on the health benefits of grass-fed,
organic livestock.
Cilantro, Serrano, Ginger Hamburger Patties
Ingredients:
- 2 lbs. organic, grass-fed ground beef
Directions:
- Simply chop and combine all of the ingredients, and bake at 375 degrees for 15-30 minutes. Adjust the time based on how cooked you like the meat. It’s as easy as that! I like to serve it with Sautéed Kale and Brown Rice. No need for a bun.
Before you've combined the ingredients, it’s going to look like
you have an insane amount of greens, onion, etc. And that’s the point! Think of the meat as a vehicle for all of
the health-promoting, detoxifying, inflammation-reducing, immune-enhancing
effects of the other ingredients.
Once you begin combining the ingredients with your hands and fingers,
the ratio of greens to meat will seem less intimidating.
