Recipie:

Gina Reig's Creative Curry Clafouti

(As we discussed during the show, it is pronounced "cla-FOO-tie," and it's kind of like a quiche. It keeps well and is super yummy!)

Ingredients:

• 6 eggs
• 6 tablespoons melted grass-fed butter/ghee/coconut oil cooled to room temp. + 1 pat for greasing pan
• 3/4 cup coconut milk
• 4 cups cooked, chopped chicken (optional) You can sub any cooked meat and/or greens, onions, etc.
• 2 tablespoons curry spice, or to taste
• Sea Salt & Pepper to taste

Directions:

• Preheat oven to 400° F.
• Butter a 10” round or 13×9” baking dish
• Whisk together eggs, fat & coconut milk until frothy.
• Mix in chicken or other meats/veggies and spices and pour into baking dish.
• Bake about 45 minutes or until top is golden brown and puffy.

Gina elaborates:

"BE CREATIVE WITH THIS! YOU COULD USE HERBS INSTEAD OF SPICES. THE EGGS, COCONUT MILK, SEA SALT AND FAT ARE THE NEEDED COMPONENTS. FROM THERE, YOU CAN BE SUPER CREATIVE!"
