Grain-free

The Grain-Free Recipe category on Just Maika Cooking is perfect for those looking to cut out grains without sacrificing flavor or variety. These recipes are full of bold spices and grilled to perfection, proving that grain-free meals can be hearty, satisfying, and full of excitement.

First, the Grilled Zhug Ras el Hanout Lamb Chops and Tomato Salad packs a punch with Middle Eastern spices like zhug and Ras el Hanout, perfectly complementing the juicy, grilled lamb chops. Served alongside a refreshing tomato salad, this dish is an easy win for a grain-free dinner that feels indulgent. Next, the Grilled Pork Chops with Tamarind Habanero Glaze and Coleslaw bring together sweet, tangy tamarind with the fiery kick of habanero to create a glaze that elevates your pork chops to another level. Paired with a vinegary coleslaw, this meal offers a balanced mix of heat and acidity, without the need for grains.

Finally, the Grilled Steak Spicy Chimichurri Baby Potatoes and Broccoli offers a robust, flavorful steak dish with a vibrant, spicy chimichurri sauce drizzled over tender grilled baby potatoes and broccoli. Each bite bursts with flavor, showing that grain-free meals can be both satisfying and packed with variety.

These recipes prove that cutting out grains doesn’t mean cutting back on taste or creativity. You can enjoy rich, flavorful meals that celebrate the grill and bold spices, all while staying grain-free.
