Pork and Vegetable Coconut Stir-Fry Recipe

Heat up your wok and get your chopsticks ready, cause this meal is begging to be made right now! If you are out of practice, you may need to take a moment and work with those chopsticks - you can do that while it is cooking.

A stir-fry is a fun and simple dish that reminds us of days of take-out meals... yet the ingredients are pure and real here, and that makes all the difference in the world, especially when you are watching what you fuel your body with.

Start with a chunk of quality pork tenderloin, cutting it into very thin strips, and dropping the meat into your very hot wok with organic coconut oil. Next, comes the garden's fresh green beans. We are now entering a grey area of Paleo here concerning legumes.

Some people can handle them, while others are not as much. A lot depends on where you are in the healing process, and why you switched to a Paleo lifestyle in the first place. You may not want to be eating legumes every day, but on occasion, and in the right recipe (this is the one!), they will go down a treat.

If you are up for adding more spices, why not toss in a small pinch of turmeric to the mix for some additional anti-inflammatory benefits?

Pick a small amount of fresh leafy greens or chopped cilantro for decorative nutrients, and dinner is ready in just half an hour.
