This guide offers simple, nourishing recipes designed for the Autoimmune Protocol elimination phase, focusing on healing, anti-inflammatory ingredients that are quick and easy to prepare.

Ingredients

  • Pasture-raised chicken thighs or breasts
  • Wild-caught fish fillets (salmon or cod)
  • Bone broth (homemade or trusted brands like Kettle & Fire)
  • Organic cassava flour
  • Fresh leafy greens (spinach, kale, or dandelion greens)
  • Carrots, peeled and chopped
  • Yellow squash and zucchini
  • Fresh herbs like rosemary, thyme, and basil
  • Sea salt and pink Himalayan salt
  • Extra-virgin olive oil
  • Avocado oil
  • Coconut oil
  • Raw honey
  • Gelatin powder

Instructions

  1. Prepare your proteins by seasoning chicken thighs or fish fillets lightly with sea salt. Heat avocado oil in a preheated cast iron skillet over medium-high heat and sear each side for about 4 minutes until golden brown.
  2. If using a slow cooker for bone broth, toss in bones with filtered water, a pinch of salt, and fresh herbs, then cook on low for 12-24 hours.
  3. Peel and chop carrots, slice zucchini, and wash leafy greens. Toss carrots and squash in a little olive oil and roast at 375°F (190°C) for 20 minutes.
  4. In a large pot, gently sauté fresh herbs in olive oil until fragrant but not browned. Add roasted veggies and bone broth or water, then simmer gently.
  5. If thickening is needed, sprinkle gelatin powder into the pot while whisking quickly to avoid lumps.
  6. Add seared protein back into the pot to warm through. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt or a drizzle of raw honey if desired.
  7. Serve warm, garnished with fresh herbs or a squeeze of lemon if tolerated.

Notes

Avoid overheating coconut oil to prevent off-flavors. Use medium heat and sufficient oil to prevent proteins from sticking. Add gelatin powder slowly to avoid clumping. Batch prep bone broth and roasted veggies to save time. Adjust seasoning carefully during elimination phase. Substitute vegetable broth for bone broth for vegetarian adaptation. Use tigernut flour instead of cassava flour if nut tolerance allows.
