    Are you doing a round of Whole30 or just want to eat clean? Then check out this Whole30 Goulash! It's made with beef and is completely gluten free!

    Allergen + Lifestyle Friendly

    What I love about creating recipes is that they can be so easy to make them fit many allergen needs and dietary lifestyles! Because this Whole30 Goulash contains ingredients such as beef, nut based products, and veggies, it's completely paleo! There's no grains at all, instead you'll use arrowroot powder. Therefore, it's completely gluten free! There's no legumes, grains, dairy, or sugar, making it totally Whole30 compliant! It's also paleo friendly for those following that lifestyle.

    If you'd prefer a primal version, feel free to use butter in place of the palm shortening.

    When it comes to the almond milk be sure to use one that is Whole30 compliant. Make sure there are no added sugars or carrageenan. An approved brand is Malk, which is also organic and uses sprouted almonds!

    To keep this Whole30 Goulash compliant and soy (legume) free, it calls for coconut aminos. The New Primal has delicious coconut aminos that aren't overly sweet as some brands can be.

    Pairings

    To serve, you can obviously eat it on it's own, but since it's goulash, it has a nice gravy with it. If you are doing Whole30 or are paleo and need whatever you pair it with to also be compliant, then serve it over cauliflower rice, white potatoes, or sweet potatoes! It's so delicious and comforting no matter how you pair it.

    If you're NOT doing a Whole30 and aren't paleo, it goes well over white rice, brown rice, or quinoa. Note, sprouted varieties are always better as they make the nutrients more digestible and available to your body! This could also be a fantastic way to reintroduce non-gluten grains after you finish your Whole30! For the reintroduction, you basically want to have a Whole30 meal supplemented with whatever you're reintroducing. If you make this Whole30 Goulash and serve it over rice, voila! Perfect reintroduction meal.

    Substitutions

    If you want to make this Whole30 goulash but don't have all the ingredients, you can easily swap some out! Instead of the squash, you could do turnip, potatoes, yucca, or any other starchy veggie or root veggie. You'll still have a Whole30 goulash, but it will be using up whatever you have in the fridge! Same with the greens, use whatever you have on hand.

    Inspiration for Whole30 Goulash

    During quarantine, I tried my first box of Misfits Market! I was hoping to avoid the stores as here in CT (as well as in many areas I'm sure) were so stressful, the prices of everything seemed to go up, and meats were wiped out. Misfits Market came to the rescue!

    I tried out Misfits Market for a test run, but have decided to keep it. I love not having to go to the store, and the produce sent from Misfit's is all organic! You can choose from 2 different size boxes, get every or every other week delivery, and can skip a week whenever needed. After you get through your first box, you have the option to add on certain items, including extra various produce, coffee, oils, or various pantry items.

    In my first two produce boxes, I received acorn squash. While I loved stuffed squash (check out this Moroccan Chicken Stuffed Squash here!), I wanted to do something different with the squash! I also had beef from my cow share that I had been utilizing to avoid the stores, so this dish was born! It has a perfect amount of gravy and sauce, perfect to serve over any of the pairings listed above. Want to try out Misfits Market? Use this referral code to get 25% off your first box!
