• Can Be Halved 
(see Tips)

Tips

If you are halving this recipe, be sure to use a small (11⁄2 to 3 quart) slow cooker.

Okra, a tropical vegetable, has a great flavor but it becomes unpleasantly sticky when overcooked. Choose young okra pods, 2 to 4 inches (5 to 10 cm) long, that don’t feel sticky to the touch. (If sticky they are too ripe.) Gently scrub the pods and cut off the top and tail before slicing.

To make shrimp stock: In a saucepan, combine shrimp shells, white wine and water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes. Strain, pushing the shells against the sieve to extract as much flavor as possible. Measure 1 cup (250 mL) and set aside. Freeze excess.

Make Ahead

Complete Steps 1 and 2. Cover and refrigerate shrimp, shrimp stock and vegetable mixture separately, overnight. When you’re ready to cook, continue with the recipe.

Tips

If you prefer, make this dessert in 6 individual tall ramekins or 4- to 6-ounce (125 to 175 mL) mason-type jars. Just make sure your slow cooker is large enough to accommodate the vessels. Mason jars are particularly functional if you are transporting this dessert. Instead of covering the jars with foil, use the lids and screw tops. Add enough hot water to come half way up the sides of the jars and reduce the cooking time to about 11⁄2 hours.

Heatproof silicone bands, available in kitchen supply stores, are useful for securing the foil tops on both a baking dish and ramekins.

Description:

Delicious and satisfying paleo diet–friendly slow cooker recipes that everyone can enjoy.

The paleo diet is one of most popular diets being followed today and has been embraced by nearly 1.5 million people in North America. The basic principle of the diet is that the recipes contain no grains or legumes (therefore making all of them gluten-free), no refined sugars and no refined oils or processed ingredients.

Slow cookers are hugely popular because they’re so convenient and the results so delicious. All the recipes in this book pay very close attention to paleo guidelines, while also recognizing that there’s a wide variety of reasons that people choose to eat paleo that go way beyond weight loss. So there’s room to be flexible depending on your personal requirements and/or expectations of the diet
