Beef Leek Patties (keto, paleo, GF, soy free, dairy free)

There are specific foods that some are only eaten during specific holidays and for this very reason people hold these dishes near and dear to their hearts. For me, this dish is the marshmallow yam dish at Thanksgiving. I. LOVE. IT. But only eat it once a year and content with that.

My man has several of these favorite dishes that his mom only makes during the holidays. Him, and his siblings loooove these beef leek patties that she only makes twice a year. And in an effort to keep my man’s belly happy I attempted to upgrade her recipe by losing the flour and replacing it with coconut flour as the binder and then baking and not frying them to avoid oxidized oils. And I’m proud to say that this turned out to be a success!

While I don’t personally eat meat, my man does, and I’m happy to make it for him because that is what he likes to eat and what his body needs. So I feel an extra sense of satisfaction when he gives my recipe creations his stamp of approval. Especially those, like these, that he inevitably compares to his mom’s.
