If you click through from my links to Amazon or some other vendors, and buy the products I use, Amazon and others may pay me a small percentage as commission, without affecting the price you pay. I only recommend products that, to my knowledge, fit within the AIP Protocol, and are of good quality – that’s why I use them! You will find most active bloggers do this, and like them I look to this practice to fund the blog and allow me to carry on actively posting.

Cilantro Carrot Mash {AIP}

This is a real linky post but I just had to tell you about the best weekend ever. Mickey Trescott from Autoimmune-Paleo came to Vancouver at the weekend to meet up with the local AIP crowd which was a lot of fun. I hosted a lunch for Mickey and her lovely husband, Noah, along with fellow local AIP bloggers Astrid from Heal Me in the Kitchen and Vanessa from True North AIP before heading off to drink tea and Kombucha in the brilliant O5 Rare Tea Bar. There we met up with Petra from Petra8Paleo and made some new friends from the Vancouver AIP Group Facebook Page. An entire table of AIP peeps, feasting on AIP food was a rare treat … you really, really should try and do this if you can, I mean join your local Facebook AIP group and have a get together, maybe organize a potluck. It’s such a morale booster, knowing you’re all eating for health. And the knowledge that everything on the table is up for grabs is ah-maz-ing!


What did I feast on with my new friends?

  • Pork and Chicken Liver Terrine with Spiced Apple Compote
  • homemade sausages using my new best friends, here and here
  • beef liver and herb paté (recipe coming)
  • butternut squash roasted in lard with rosemary
  • green salad with a coconut/olive oil/herb dressing (must write out that recipe)
  • a variety of different kombuchas
  • mugs of hot organic chamomile and tulsi teas
  • Banana Cinnamon Teacake.

So because I’ve been cooking my little heart out, I’m giving you a seriously quick and easy peasy recipe this week. I love mashed accompaniments but because I like to vary the veggies I mashed up carrots for a change and whacked in a shed load of cilantro (that’s coriander to the Motherland!) to flavour it up. The brood loved it.

In Chris Kresser’s excellent book, Your Personal Paleo Code, he describes herbs as ranking second on the nutrient density chart, after liver (cilantro, btw, is particularly useful for helping you drain heavy metals). Granted you have to eat an awful lot of them to get optimal nutrition, so that is one reason why I always keep a jug of assorted herbs in my fridge and add them to pretty much anything and everything. The other reason is they are delicious!

Cilantro Carrot Mash [AIP]

cilantro carrot mash
If you don’t like cilantro, or haven’t any to hand, just use what you do have. Dill, flat leafed parsley or a mixture would be equally delicious!
(serves 4 as a side)

2 lb (900g) carrots
1/2 packed cup cilantro, roughly chopped
3 tbsp bacon or sausage fat, or lard
pinch mace
1 tsp salt

Wash and cut the carrots into 1/2 inch rounds. Put them into a large pan with an inch worth of water, or into your steamer if you have one. Cover with a lid, bring the water up to a simmer and cook until tender, approximately 12-15 minutes. Drain thoroughly and put the carrots into a food processor with the ‘S’ blade attachment. Add the remaining ingredients and blend until smooth.

There – I told you it was easy!

    Any tips on keeping the herbs fresh? Thanks for all the wonderful recipes! I’ve been making your n’otmeals. They are awesome!

      Hello Marcie, I keep my herbs in a large jug of filtered water, then put a plastic bag over the top and store in the fridge. This way they will be good for a week, especially if you refresh the water once in a while. Basil should be stored in the same way but not in the fridge.
      So pleased to hear you’re enjoying the n’oatmeals, we love them too and even ate some this morning 🙂

    I made cilantro carrot mash for lunch and I did not have mace so I used nutmeg. It was delicious. I am going to make them more often. Thank you for sharing!

      My pleasure Jean, so pleased you enjoyed it and it’s my pleasure to share 🙂
      I’m assuming that you are not strict AIP, so I should point out to people reading this that nutmeg is a Stage 1 Reintroduction.

    Thank you for such a wonderful recipe! I am hoping to try this tonight with my dinner. I’ve been Paleo for 3 years but recently had to adapt to an AIP / Low FODMAP diet (as well as remaining ketogenic), and its been tricky finding recipes that comply. I managed to find your blog when searching for recipes so I have book marked it! I look forward to trying a few of your recipes – Emma x
