As we already mentioned in O-M-G we've moved to MD, last week and this weekend were full of the moving insanity. So, even though we cooked some Paleo-friendly meals, we fell off the beaten path quite a lot. Thank goodness we're back to our normal, healthy, Paleo-centered eating this week. I feel so much better than I did last week, and it's not just because I'm not sore from lifting boxes and furniture anymore.

So, here is one of those delicious Paleo meals from last week.... It's a spin off Norah's Asian Boneless Pork Ribs, which we stumbled across while combing the web for something inspiring to do with our boneless pork ribs. We were pleasantly surprised by how tasty this was, especially since we made the hoisin sauce from scratch!

Hoisin sauce is a delicious Chinese condiment, but it's not exactly Paleo-friendly. So when we were itching for Chinese food last week and found a great boneless pork rib recipe that called for hoisin sauce, we decided to get creative! Here is our take on making your own Paleo Hoisin Sauce (makes about 1 cup).

Ingredients
  • 8 tablespoons coconut aminos
  • 4 tablespoons almond butter
  • 2 tablespoon pure honey
  • 4 teaspoons coconut vinegar
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 4 teaspoons sesame oil
  • 5 drops of Dave's Insanity Limited Edition Ghost Pepper Sauce
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper 
Method
  1. Combine all ingredients in a jar.
  2. Shake until well mixed.
This makes about 1 cup of sauce. We used 2/3 of it for our Boneless Pork Ribs with Paleo Hoisin Sauce. It's finger-lickin' good! :)
