When I went on the Paleo Diet, I decided to buy some Paleo rubs and seasonings. The only ones I could find had no sugar, but some of these like Jamaican Jerk need some sweetness. Creating a Jamaican Jerk with coconut and maple sugars was my first Paleo seasoning.

On a trip to New Mexico several years ago, I discovered red Hatch chiles and they became my favorite chile pepper. So my next Paleo rub used ground red Hatch chiles, which is known as molido. My Chile Molido provides many layers of Southwest flavor and, like my Jamaican Jerk, comes in three heat levels.

I was sad to see the end of the Minneapolis Ribfests that were held downtown and had great bands, pig races and a very serious rib competition. These got me interested in making my own regional rubs like Memphis, Texan and Kansas City. Since Texan has no sugar and Kansas City requires a BBQ sauce besides the rub, Memphis-style seemed the best choice for a Paleo version.

Many of us on the Paleo Diet eat a lot of nuts since they are a good source of healthy fat and protein. While raw nuts are the healthiest, for those of us with a sweet tooth it’s nice to have a sweet alternative. Because I think that all sweet can be too much of a good thing, I made my roasted nuts a little spicy as well.
New in 2019 is a Vegan version of these nuts that replaces the organic butter with organic coconut oil, making them both Vegan and Paleo. |
