Method

Heat oil in large pan stir in onions, add thyme and bay leaves.

Cook over high heat for 5 minutes, stirring frequently.

Do not let the onions brown, just soften.

Lower heat, cook slowly for 30 minutes, uncovered stirring often until

the onions are soft and reduced down.

Turn up the heat so they caramelised – cooking for about 10 minutes

Stir pan and mix in any brown bits off the bottom of the pan.

The onions should be brown and sticky.

Gradually add the vegetable stock , season with salt and pepper, bring everything to the boil, Simmer for 15 minutes Check seasoning.

Add the cubes of fish, and stir in gently, leave until cooked about 5-8 minutes

Paleo Pancakes

I was asked for some breakfast ideas that weren't bacon and eggs, so here's one of them. Paleo pancakes, easy to make and delicious in the morning.

Ingredients

100g ground almonds
2 bananas
2-3 eggs
fruit (berries work best, mango, apples, pears etc)
honey (optional)


1, Mash the bananas, add the almonds and eggs and mix well. The mixture shouldn't be too runny.


2, Fry the fruit in palm oil or coconut oil for a minute or so, then add the mixture. Frying the pancake on both sides for a couple of minutes. Drizzle a small amount of lemon juice or honey (or bacon) afterwards for flavouring.
