Cinnamon is one of the best ingredients that someone with insulin sensitivity can eat. Half a teaspoon of cinnamon per day has been shown to be very effective at normalizing blood sugar levels. Cinnamon contains hydroxychalcone, which is thought to enhance the effects of insulin. It has also been suggested that Cinnamon prevents post-meal blood sugar spikes by slowing the gastric emptying rate - meaning that food digests slowly. (Reference: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11506060).
THE PASTRY
1 Cup Blanched Almond Flour
3 Tbsp. Coconut Flour
5 Tbsp. Butter
1/4 tsp. Salt
1 tsp. Xanthan Gum
1 tsp. Oregano
1/4 tsp. Paprika
1/4 tsp. Cayenne
2 Tbsp. Ice Water
THE FILLING
1/3 Cup Cheese
400g Ground Beef
80g Mushroom
3 Stalks Sping Onion
2 Tbsp. Tomato Paste
1 Tbsp. Olive Oil
2 tsp. Yellow Mustard
2 tsp. Garlic
1 tsp. Cumin
1/2 tsp. Pepper
1 tsp. Salt
1 tsp. Worcestershire
1/4 tsp. Cinnamon
1. Mix together 1 Cup Blanched Almond Flour, 3 Tbsp. Coconut Flour, 1 tsp. Xanthan Gum, and 1/4 tsp. Salt to make the base of your pastry.
2. Add your spices to the flours (you’re welcome to change the spices to whatever you’d like here): 1 tsp. Oregano, 1/4 tsp. Cayenne Pepper, and 1/4 tsp. Paprika.
3. Add all dry ingredients into a food processor. Cut up 5 Tbsp. Cold Butter into small cubes and add them to the food processor also.
4. Pulse together the mixture, slowly adding 1 Tbsp. Ice Water to the mixture until a crumbly, yet solid dough forms.
5. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and store in the freezer for 10 minutes.
6. Remove the dough from the freezer and lay on to a Silpat.
7. Add a second silpat on top of the dough. I use this set of silpats that comes in a pack of 3 – they’re fantastic!
8. Roll the dough out using a rolling pin until something square in shape comes out.
9. Using a cup or a cookie cutter, create circles in the dough. Repeat this process until you use all the dough.
10. Place the circular pastry into a whoopie pan. Set these aside.
11. Preheat your oven to 325F. Begin prepping all your vegetables: Slice 80g Mushroom, and 3 Stalks of Spring Onion.
12. Bring 1 Tbsp. Olive Oil to a hot temperature in a pan.
13. Saute Garlic and Spring Onions in the pan until cooked.
14. Add all ground beef to the pan, searing it, and add all dry spices (including Worcestershire). 1 tsp. Cumin, 1 tsp. Salt, 1 tsp. Worcestershire, 1/2 tsp. Pepper and 1/4 tsp. Cinnamon.
15. Once cooked through, add mushrooms. Stir them in well.
16. Once mushrooms are slightly cooked, add tomato paste and mustard – stir this in well.
17. Spoon beef mixture evenly between all of the pastry. Add cheese to the top to your liking.
18. Bake for 20-25 minutes and then broil the top for 3-5 minutes depending on your oven.
19. Let cool completely and serve!
