Paleo Pork Rub

Ingredients
1 lemon - the zest and the juice
1 tablespoon of mustard (I used dijon but wholegrain would also work well)
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
2 tablespoon of rosemary (fresh is best but I used dried and it worked well)
2 cloves of garlic - minced
1/4 cup olive oil

Pork

1) Mix all the marinade ingredients together and then coat the pork.

2) Ideally leave overnight but for at least two hours will do. If only leaving for a few hours leave the meat out of the fridge.

3) When ready to cook, seal the pork for a minute or two on each side on a hot griddle then cook in the oven for 30-45 mins.

I can't believe they ARE paleo brownies!

Wow! These are amazing! You must try them NOW! And the best bit...totally paleo!

Ingredients 
100g dark chocolate 70% or more (one large bar!)
1/2 cup coconut milk
1/2 cup unsweetened dried dates
2 eggs
1 1/4 cups almond flour
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1) Blend coconut milk and dates in the blender till dates are in small pieces
2) Melt the chocolate into the dates and coconut milk in a saucepan on a low temperature
3) Beat the eggs in a bowl and add the chocolate mixture
4) Add the almond flour, the sea salt and the baking soda
5) I baked them in mini muffin cases and 10 mins was a bit long so if you are doing them small I would recommend 8 mins....if you want to make bigger muffins you may have to experiment with timings...
