Paleo Tomato Tarte Tatin

Sunday, June 2, 2013

Mobility:

Posterior chain flossing
20 Reverse snow angels
Olympic wall squat, 2 minutes
Keg drill

Strength:

1a) 5 x 3 Deadlift – heavy but not maximal – rest 60 sec.
1b) 5 x 3 Bench Press – heavy – rest 60 sec.

 Notes: These will be alternating sets between deadliest and bench, resting 60 seconds between each set. The deadlift reps should be touch and go and the weight should not be so heavy as to lose neutral spine position or hinder explosive hip extension. For the bench press, focus on a narrow grip, explosive arm extension, and obvious lockout of the elbows.

Conditioning:

For total reps:

3 min ME Wall Balls 20/14#
3 min ME DB Snatches (alternating) 55/35#

-1 min Rest

2 min ME Wall Balls
2 min ME DB Snatches (alternating) 55/35#

Cool Down:

10 Standing Wall extensions
Samson stretch
Pigeon

Ingredients:

1.5 lbs ground beef

1 red onion

3 garlic cloves

3 plum tomatoes

6 cherry tomatos (or whatever combination of tomatoes!)

1 tablespoon ground garlic

1 teaspoon oregano

1 teaspoon paprika

1 teaspoon sea salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.

Slice up your onions and garlic quite thin. In a brownie pan (which was about 10x7inch), stick some greaseproof paper to line it. This is very handy later!

Scatter the onion and garlic evenly into the pan. Then slice all tomatoes in half and space them evenly cut side down (they won’t roll away then!).

In a bowl, mix up the ground beef with the ground garlic, oregano, paprika, sea salt and pepper.

Then carefully (as not to disturb the placement of the tomatoes!), fill out the pan with the meat mixture. Pat it down well. It will cover the tomatoes completely.

Stick this in the oven for about 20 minutes.

After 20 minutes, take it out and –carefully flip it out onto an oven rack. Put another pan underneath as this will also drain away most of the fat that has accumulated.

Now that the tomatoes are face up – stick it back in the oven for another 20/25 minutes. The tomatoes keep the tart moist, but turning it over drains a lot of the fat off.

Enjoy!
