Green Caper Patties with Slaw on a Bed of Yogurt
I pretty much love anything with greek yogurt, so this recipe is perfect! It is so simple, cozy, full of flavor, rich in antioxidants and protein, and just an amazing way to elevate your meals
It may look like a weird combo to some, definitely give this one a try, you’ll be impressed! You can eat it like this or assemble as a burger or wrap.
Ingredients and Benefits:
Pasture-raised ground meat: Pasture-raised meat provides more vitamins, omega-3s, and overall have a better nutritional profile. Pasture-raised meat is better for the environment too because it helps restore nutrients in the soil. I purchase 100% pasture-raised meat online from US Wellness or Grassroots Co Op (Use code “LIVNATURALLY” for 15% off)Of course, ground meat provides a lot of protein too!
Capers: Rich in quercetin, copper, and vitamins to support metabolism
Parsley: Rich in antioxidants and vitamins for skin health and serves as a natural diuretic
Garlic: Has antibiotic and anti-inflammatory properties. Tip: let garlic sit out for 10-15 minutes after mincing so the enzyme allicin is activated and the benefits are retained!
Extra-virgin olive oil: Rich in monounsaturated fats, polyphenols, and antioxidants to reduce inflammation
Lemon juice: Rich in vitamin C, folic acid, and minerals for skin health
Purple cabbage: Rich in anthocyanins that lower blood pressure and decrease heart attack risk
Beets: Rich in nitric oxide to increase blood flow, folate to keep cells healthy, and fiber for a healthy digestive system
Greek yogurt: I purchase pasture-raised and grass-fed when I can for higher levels of omega 3s. Greek yogurt is high in protein, probiotics, and calcium.
