SERVINGS

Ingredients

1 12-oz bag Taylor Farms Tri-Color Coleslaw
1 cup Taylor Farms Broccoli Slaw
1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
½ onion, chopped
1 pound organic ground chicken, turkey, beef, or pork
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tsp fresh ginger, minced (ground ginger will also work)
1 Tbsp sesame oil
1 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
¼ cup coconut aminos
Garnish: chopped scallions & sesame seeds

Coconut Cauliflower Rice

4 cups Taylor Farms Cauliflower Rice
½ cup full-fat coconut milk
Salt to taste

Directions

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onions and sauté until fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.
Add ground meat of your choice and cook, breaking up the meat as you sauté until it’s just barely pink and almost cooked through.
Add sesame oil, apple cider vinegar, coconut aminos, garlic, ginger, broccoli slaw, and coleslaw mix. Mix well to combine and continue to stir and cook until cabbage is wilted and meat is fully cooked through, about 5-7 more minutes.
Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Remove from heat and garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds.
Enjoy as is, or (optional) serve on top of iceberg or butter lettuce for lettuce wraps or over warm coconut cauliflower rice (see below).

Coconut Cauliflower Rice

You can start making this side while waiting for the veggies to get tender in your skillet.

In a large skillet or pot, warm 1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil over medium-high. Add the cauliflower rice.
Season cauliflower rice with salt and sauté for about 5 minutes. Pour in the coconut milk and stir it into the cauliflower rice.
Bring to a boil and continue to cook until the coconut milk reduces and the “rice” thickens a bit, about 5 minutes. Taste and add salt if needed.

What is Coconut Aminos?

Some of you may be wondering what coconut aminos is and that is very understandable.

Coconut aminos is a liquid made from the sap of coconut blossoms, which is then naturally fermented and blended with sea salt to create a dark brown liquid. It has a salty, slightly sweet flavor that is remarkably close to soy sauce. In fact, many people use it as a soy sauce substitute since it’s free of gluten and soy while also having a much lower sodium content. Others simply use it because it’s delicious—especially in a recipe like this. To each their own!

What Else Can I do with Coconut Aminos?

Like soy sauce, coconut aminos is quite versatile and provides numerous culinary uses, including:

As a seasoning for meats and vegetables: Try drizzling coconut aminos over grilled or roasted meats and vegetables to add more depth of flavor.
In soups and stews: Give broth-based dishes more complexity with a splash of coconut aminos.
In salads: Mix coconut aminos with ground ginger and garlic for a zesty salad dressing.
As a marinade: Start your marinade base with coconut aminos and use it with meats, poultry, or seafood. The natural sweetness of the marinade will also help to caramelize the protein when it’s cooked.

Coconut aminos is also an exceptional flavor enhancer for everything from gravies to sauces. Try using it in any dish you think could benefit from a savory boost with just a hint of sweet. Enjoy!
