Over and over again, it seems like people that I end up talking to about Paleo want budget friendly & easy food. They love pretty cookbooks & blogs with innovative recipes, but they keep asking what it is I REALLY eat? Although I am good for a new recipe or a cookbook adventure once or twice a week, we eat a lot of the same things over and over with staples from the grocery store.
I also try to keep in mind that my grocery stores of choice, may ALWAYS seem to have a certain item, but I have a lot of friends and family that live in rural areas without as much choice. This recipe was born from a desire to find another use for a bag of slaw, since I know that it is widely available.
I have expressed my love for the Almost 5 Ingredient Pizza Spaghetti Pie from PaleOMG on Facebook & Instagram several times. I have shared it with the members of my 2014 Family Healthy Habits Challenge & even taught it in a cooking class. It is a simple recipe & is a hit with everybody. It also makes a big dish & has lots of leftovers. WIN – WIN – WIN! My little guy says “This tastes BETTER than Pizza!”
Because of my tomato allergy (yes, it is a bummer!), I make one dish for my family & then make 1 dish for me, leaving out only the pizza sauce called for in the recipe. Still turns out great and has a ton of Italian flavor. You can from my Instagram picture below:
The recipe for my Cabbage Quiche came about one evening when I didn’t have enough spaghetti squash to make two separate dishes for us. I used a bag of slaw instead and it turned into a pretty great quiche that I ate for breakfast all week. Talk about economical and easy. There aren’t many things in the produce department cheaper than a bag of slaw & ready to go at a moments notice.
Cabbage Quiche
- 1 bag of cole slaw
- 1 lb ground pork
- 1 Tbsp Italian seasoning blend (Penzeys)
- 1 tsp *Magic Mushroom Powder OR salt
- 6 eggs, whisked
Directions:
- Grease a glass pie plate or an 8 by 8 baking dish with coconut oil, lard or butter.
- Brown ground pork in a big skillet with Italian seasoning and salt (or Magic Mushroom Powder).
- Add the bag of slaw to the top of the pork, mix a little and let the slaw wilt slightly.
- In a large bowl, mix the pork and cole slaw with the eggs. Stir until combined.
- Pour into baking dish.
- Bake at 400 degrees, start checking it at 25 minutes. (Mine was perfect at 30 minutes.) Bake until the edges form a brown crust and it is done in the middle.
Variations:
- Magic Mushroom Powder is a salt based seasoning blend from Nom Nom Paleo: Food for Humans cookbook. Just use salt if you don’t have it.
- Use ground beef instead of pork.
- Exchange Italian seasoning for Taco Seasoning or Chili Seasoning or Greek Seasoning.
- Add onions, mushrooms, cheese, etc….
- Top with salsa or guacamole.
