Gluten-free Detox supper for Three - Tuesday, 13th May 3214

For supper tonight, a newly created dish of meat and veggies, cooked without oil or dairy and utterly gluten-free, for a girlfriend on a new, one month, detox diet.

Consisting of 10% Fat Irish  beef, lean smoked bacon and lots of different vegetables - tiny button mushrooms, thin slices red pepper, shredded baby spinach plus a whole large carton of prepared stir-fry veggies - Edamame beans, broccoli, red onion and various other ones too; then a tin of plus tomatoes, herbs - Oregano and herbes de Provence plus ground black peppercorns and a dash of salt.  Ah ha, don't forget your Tamari sauce.

Heat a large fry pan or Wok and  tip in your mince and agitate with two wooden tools - I used my trusty fork and spatula - and continue in this manner until all your mince is nicely seared - cooking your meat in its own juice.  Add bacon lardons and cook for a few minutes then empty the tinned tomatoes into your meat and bacon mix and herbs and flavourings to taste, plus a good couple of shakes, or more, of Tamari soy sauce.  Bring mixture to a small boil, reduce to a simmer and cook for about 15 - 25 minutes until meat is nicely cooked.

The toss in all your veggies and cook for 4 - 5 minutes, before serving onto warmed places.   I whipped up a small salad from halved cherry tomatoes,small slices of avocado and tiny scraps of baby spinach - dressed with a fine drizzle of olive oil and a grating of black peppercorns.
