Ingredients
• The Protein Base: 2 lbs Ground Beef or Turkey (the “energy” core of this protein bomb).
• The Flourless Binder: 1 cup Almond Flour or finely crushed pork rinds (replaces breadcrumbs to keep it 100% grain-free).
• The Garden Mix: 1 large Onion (finely diced), 2 cloves Garlic (minced), and ¼ cup fresh Parsley (as seen in the vibrant green flecks in your photo).
• The Bind: 2 large Eggs and ¼ cup unsweetened tomato paste (ensure it has no added sugar).
• The Flavor Trio: 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce (sugar-free), 1 tsp dried Thyme, and plenty of Sea Salt and Black Pepper.
Preparation Steps
1. The Mix: In a large glass bowl, combine the ground meat, almond flour, diced onions, and herbs.
2. The “Wow” Bind: Add the eggs and tomato paste. Use your hands to mix gently—over-mixing can make the loaf tough, and you want that professional, “melt-in-your-mouth” feel.
3. The Shape: Mold the mixture into a large, rustic log directly in your baking pan, exactly like the impressive “treasure” shown in your picture.
4. Bake: Place in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 45–55 minutes until the internal temperature reaches a safe 160°F.
5. The Rest: Let the loaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing. This is the “magic” secret to keeping all the juices inside for a professional result.
6. Serve: Slice into thick portions and enjoy the sustained energy this “reborn” classic provides!
