Notes
- If you don't care about this being gluten free/paleo, you can use cornstarch and all-purpose flour in place of the tapioca starch and coconut flour.
- If you want the gravy to have more flavor, try adding carrots and celery into the slow cooker to cook with the meat.
- This clear coconut water is good in smoothies.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
