Ground Beef & Plantain Patties

Ingredients

• 454 g 1lb grassfed ground beef
• 2 large very ripe plantains
• 2 large eggs
• 1/4 cup coconut flour
• 1/2 tsp Himalayan salt
• 1/2 tsp freshly cracked black pepper
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp freshly grated nutmeg
• 1/4 tsp ground ginger
• 1/4 tsp allspice
• 2 dried birds eye chili (crushed (or 1/2 tsp dried chili flakes))
• 12-15 Brazil nuts (coarsely chopped)

Instructions

1. 1

   In the bowl of your stand mixer add all the ingredients and mix with the paddle attachment for 1 or 2 minutes until very well incorporated and slightly "fluffy".

2. 2

   Heat a generous amount of coconut oil in a skillet set over medium heat. When pan is hot enough, scoop about ¼ cup of the mixture directly into the pan and press down with a spoon or fork to flatten and shape the meat into a disc. You could also shape the patties with your hands before adding them to the pan, but since the mixture is rather soft, I think it's easier to do it this way.

3. 3

   Cook the patties 3 or 4 at a time, for approximately 4-5 minutes per side, until they get nice and crispy and golden brown. Keep the cooked patties in a warm oven while you work on the rest of them.

4. 4

   Serve with a generous dollop of full fat coconut milk if desired (I strongly recommend it!)
