Braised Artichokes with Crab and Ghee (AIP)

Print

By

As you all know, I love Cultured Ghee. This ghee is different than regular ghee which can contain traces of lactose and casein. Tin Star Cultured Ghee has been lab tested to be free of lactose and casein which is good news for those on AIP.  It especially comes in handy when you are totally sick of the taste of coconut oil (which happened to me). Ghee just is a more refined food to cook and eat with as far as taste is concerned.  I choose baby artichokes because of their wonderful neutral nature that pairs so well with crab and ghee. It is necessary to trim off the tops, bottoms and leaves on the sides. I always pull away all the green leaves until I get to the tender yellow inner leaves.

Further Food Nutritionist Commentary:

Artichokes are surprisingly high in antioxidants, and are one of the highest vegetable sources of these powerful cancer fighting nutrients. These humble vegetables are also a great source of phytonutrients which help to protect the liver, as well as contain a high fiber content for regular digestive health and satiety.

Crab and many other seafood sources offers a good dose of protein and also the mineral selenium. This nutrient is essential in preventing cell damage, and may also help prevent certain types of cancers and cardiovascular disease.
