Keto Asian Beef Stew

Keto Asian Beef StewKeto Asian Beef StewLow Carb Asian Beef Eggplant Zucchini StewLow Carb Asian Beef Eggplant Zucchini StewLow Carb Asian Beef Eggplant Zucchini StewKeto Asian Beef Stew.  Now you can call this a stew or you can call this a soup but whatever you call it, it is good, hearty, and healthy.  Depending on how you spice this you can eat in Italy, Japan, Thailand, China and yes even in America.

I personally like the flavors of Asia so that is what we are doing here and if this is successful, I may post the same recipe using different spices and adding other ingredients.  This Keto Asian Beef Stew is very easy to make assuming you have the spices and get yourself some mung bean sprouts.  Yes, I garnished mine with a few enoki mushrooms but it is absolutely not necessary.  If you decide to use them they take about 15-20 seconds in a tiny amount of steaming water to cook.  I added some fried garlic and green onions in olive oil to the enokis I had left over and they were terrific with a rather sweetish flavor.

Keto Rocket Fuel

Keto Rocket FuelKeto Rocket FuelKeto Rocket Fuel.  This is not all my recipe and I even took the name because it seemed so apropos.  It is not so killer spicy hot that it’s only good for a few people, but rather designed to add heat to your liking.  Of course I changed some of the recipe to reflect low carb like the pear and the sugar, and yes I even omitted a couple of ingredients like Tabasco but the absolute essence of the recipe still remains intact. For comparison, here is the original recipe and even they took it from a restaurant.  The second picture is to show it accompanying my dinner and you can see how little it takes.

Ingredients
  1. 1 C Drained Sliced Jarred Pickled Jalapenos
  2. ¼ C Jalapeno Juice (From The Same Jar)
  3. 2 T Chopped Cilantro (More If Wanted)
  4. 1 T Allulose***
  5. 1 T Lime Juice
  6. 2 t Fish Sauce (Optional & I Used It)
  7. 2 t Crushed Garlic***
  8. 1 t Chili Garlic Paste
  9. ¼ t Cayenne Pepper
  10. ¼ t Cumin
  11. ¼ t Crushed Oregano
  12. ¼ t Ginger Powder
  13. 1 Cup Finely Chopped Daikon Radish
  14. Water To Consistency Desired (Saved From Daikon Cooking)
Instructions
  1. Chop daikon radish and simmer in 1 C water until very soft.
  2. In bowl large enough to hold at least 3 cups (or a small processor) add rest of ingredients.
  3. Drain and rinse cooked daikon radish, add to rest of ingredients, process to a fine consistency adding water as necessary. I used my stick blender because for this particular job it was the best tool.
  4. 12 Servings
  5. 4 Calories, 0.1g Protein, 0.0g Fat, 0.2g Carbs, .01g Fiber, 0.1g Net Carbs
Notes
  1. As you can see this is basically a zero carb food so...eat it with abandon.
  2. Want it hotter? First be sure you use hot jalapeno peppers & juice and a sure fire way to get it hotter is to use (a little) more chili garlic paste.
  3. Since I was testing this for the first time I used raw jicama which stayed a little chunky and which is why I am suggesting simmered daikon radish.

Low Carb Mung Bean Sprouts Carbonara

Leave a reply

Low Carb Mung Bean Sprouts CarbonaraLow Carb Mung Bean Sprouts Carbonara.  Yes, you can have an Italian dinner this evening.  No, you don’t need to go to the Olive Garden to get it.  Pasta carbonara is one of the truly classic Italian dishes and it does not need to be made with high carby pasta.  We are going to use mung bean sprouts instead and by the time we are finished, I doubt you will be able to tell much difference.  Traditionally, carbonara does not have cream in it but no fear, it is really good and does make the meal more hearty.  Hopefully you can find a good pancetta but if not, a good quality smoked bacon will work as a decent stand-in.

Low carb mung bean sprouts carbonara is an extremely low carb but more importantly, high fat recipe.  This is keto at its best and in my humble opinion, very healthy trading about 50g carbs in a pasta for about 7g in sprouts so, the choice is yours. That big beautiful display of basil?  I kid you not, I. Ate. It. All.

Keto Italian Parmesan Garlic Wings

Leave a reply

Keto Italian Parmesan Garlic WingsLow Carb Italian Parmesan Garlic WingsLow Carb Italian Parmesan Garlic WingsLow Carb Italian Parmesan Garlic WingsKeto Italian Parmesan Garlic Wings.  What kind of combo is Parmesan & garlic?  My taste buds say they are a marriage made in heaven and if you already have the dry herb ingredients used in Italian Dipping Oil you are in the home stretch.  These wings could not be much easier to make and most of your time will be spent waiting for them to finish in a hot oven.  I have listed the ingredients below so you have the whole recipe all together. I served mine with Brianna’s Asiago Caesar Dressing to dip my keto Italian Parmesan garlic wings into but they really didn’t need it as they are fabulous on their own.

The dry herb & spice mixture can just sit in a jar until further use.  I use it in Traditional Spaghetti Sauce over squash or mung bean sprouts, sprinkled on top of an occasional low carb pizza, on all kinds of vegetables, and any other thing you can think of where Italian herbs are called for. Think Ham & Cheese Pinwheels and maybe even some Carbalose Italian Parmesan Garlic Knots. This is an extremely easy and useful herb/spice blend.

  4. 1 T Dried Oregano

  2. Preheat oven to 425°.
  3. Line up wings on a sheet pan (on a Silpat if you have one) and put into hot oven.
  4. Bake 40-45 minutes.
  5. Combine all dried herbs & spices.
  6. When ready to serve wings combine 1 T spice blend, 1 T crushed garlic (or more to taste) with ½ C olive oil and 2 T Parmesan cheese, mix well, and put into a large bowl. Put wings into bowl and mix well-making sure all wings are well coated.

Notes
  1. You WILL NOT use all the herb mix as the recipe makes quite a bit. Just save herbs and spices in a small jar and when you next want them, you have them.
  2. If you want to test before making the full recipe (you'll be sorry) use 1 t of each herb and ½ t each salt & pepper with a pinch of red pepper flakes
  3. Makes a great salad dressing.
  4. Lots of fat and nearly zero carbs.
  5. This is a very garlicky so enjoy it with good friends.
  6. I guarantee the dry mix ingredients are FAR superior to a packaged mix and yours will have zero sugar in it.

Keto Mint Caper Sauce

Leave a reply

Low Carb Mint Caper SauceLow Carb Mint Caper SauceKeto Mint Caper Sauce.  I’ve not made it a secret that I love, love, love lamb and that I am always looking for a new sauce to go with it.  We have a new grocery store here in Portland and I have been buying most of my meats there now because 1.) It is all Willamette Valley Grass Fed Organic and 2.) It is by far, less expensive than the New Seasons store I have been shopping in for the last 13 years.  Thus far EVERYTHING I have purchased from them has been fantastic and I feel fortunate in that they are nearly in my backyard. As we know Portland, OR is a pretty good size city. I bought ½ lb. of ground lamb which I love all by itself but I thought it might be fun to try a new sauce with it.  The keto mint caper sauce below is not anything unique but it is different. Here are several other lamb sauces you might try:  A more traditional Low Carb Mint Sauce and an absolutely wonderful Garlic Rosemary Aioli.  All three of these recipes are really good with lamb and all three recipes feature lamb in their pictures.  Did I say I LOVE lamb?

Keto Ethiopian Cabbage

Leave a reply

Low Carb Ethiopian CabbageLow Carb Ethiopian CabbageLow Carb Ethiopian CabbageKeto Ethiopian Cabbage.  I had my first Ethiopian dining experience the other day and it was a dandy.  I shared the plate to the right with someone and it was literally to die for.  Small dribs and drabs of this & that all on top of Ethiopian bread made with teff, which to my knowledge, is the highest carb grain there is.  It was all spectacular but the thing that struck me the most was the cabbage. It was creamy and rich and for whatever reason and I do not know why, it did not have any potatoes in it which would be traditional.  And in case you’re curious, no, neither of us ate the bread.  This is very easy to make and you can be doing other things while it simmers.  As you can see, you can sub daikon radishes for potatoes nearly every time.

Started out and had planned to make about 4 servings of keto Ethiopian cabbage and you know what they say about the best laid plans…so, the recipe is for eight people but…you will wish you had even more of it.  Those little pie shaped thingies are thinly sliced daikon radish rounds.

All my many other Keto~LowCarb Daikon Or Red Radishes As Potatoes Recipes may be seen here.

  2. Daikon is best sliced on a mandoline and then depending on rounds cut into either four or six wedges.
  3. If you want to add ¼ C of heavy cream the last 10 minutes of simmering it may make it a bit creamier but oh Lordy, it already is creamy.

Keto Beef Burrito CrêpesKeto Beef Burrito Crêpes.  These Burrito crêpes are a very quick dinner and always a hit with children.  One of the great things about kids is when they are young they don’t have any preconceived ideas about the way something should be or look.  Think about this; if keto beef burrito crepes were the first ones they had ever had, they might think Taco Bell’s burritos were a little strange so…context is everything.  These are very easy to make even if you don’t have any of what you see on the plate.  I served mine with Pico de Gallo,  Creamy Smooth Guacamole and sour cream and of course these items can also be purchase at you local grocery store.  The Flaxseed Meal Crêpes are zero carb which makes the burritos nearly zero carb too. To make your low carb beef burrito crêpes you will need one recipe of the crêpes.  I also of course used my own Taco Seasoning but you may use your own or again, something you can buy in the grocery.

Keto Tahini Almond Butter Walnut Brownies

Leave a reply

Low Carb Tahini Almond Butter Walnut BrowniesLow Carb Tahini Almond Butter Walnut BrowniesLow Carb Tahini Almond Butter Walnut BrowniesKeto Tahini Almond Butter Walnut Brownies. I have, over the last eight years, tried more than several “supposed” low carb “moist brownies” only to be sadly disappointed one more time.  A while ago I posted a Tahini Almond Butter Walnut Balls cookie recipe using this exact same batter and the cookies, if not over done, were like fudge in the center. Thinking if the cookies were so fudgy what if I tried the same batter for brownies.  Did it work…Oh yeah, it sure did. The only other brownie recipe you will find on this site are Mocha Zucchini Brownies-Mocha Ganache but the reason these Keto Tahini Almond Butter Walnut Brownies might be so much better is that it is a dump & mix recipe and there are not many of them unless you do some kind of boxed mix. (Ugh)  This was just the first time I tried making these but the next time (if there is one) I am going to put the coffee ganache on them instead of the plain ole ganache I made.  I hope you can tell from the picture above how seriously moist these look because they are as stick-to-the-roof-of-your-mouth as any other really good brownie and I think the secret is all the oils in almond butter and tahini, I mean, come on. I believe these low carb tahini almond butter walnut brownies are absolutely the best.

I did make a batch of mocha brownies so I added a couple more pics.  Notice the nooks & crannies after baking which are filled with the ganache and I also allowed the ganache to drip over the edges which in my opinion keeps these moist brownies even more so.

  8. 1 C Allulose***
  9. 2 t Vanilla
  10. 1 t Baking Soda
  11. ½ C Chopped Walnuts
Ganache
  1. ½ C 40% Heavy Cream
  2. ⅓ C Good Chocolate Bar Cut Into Small Pieces.
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350°.
  2. Minus the walnuts dump everything else into a mixing bowl and thoroughly combine with an electric mixer.
  3. Fold in nuts.
  4. This batter is so thick you will need to push it into a paper lined 8x8 pan with a couple of fingers.
  5. Bake 12-13 minutes and no longer. You can’t tell that they are done but better a bit under-done than a bit over-done if you want them to be fudgy.
Ganache
  1. Heat heavy cream to simmer and keep your eyes on it-you don't want to boil it or you will have a huge mess on your hands.
  2. I put my chocolate into the microwave on med-low for 20 sec, stir, and repeat until it is just beginning to melt.
  3. Add hot heavy cream to chocolate and stir constantly until all chocolate is melted and incorporated.
  4. Let brownies cool just a bit, cover & spread with ganache and cool in the refrigrator until ganache is set.
  5. Carefully lift brownies out of pan, cut & serve. You're in for a treat.

Notes
  1. I used Endangered Species 88% chocolate bar in my ganache.
  2. Notice that the fat content is 195 of the 233 calories. That's 84% Fat.
  3. If you want mocha brownies add ½ t instant coffee to mix and then add 1 t to ganache. I also added 2 drops EZSweetz into ganache with the coffee.
  4. CAVEAT: I use the ingredients that I feel are the best available, for me personally. If you decide to make this (and I sure hope you do) I am unable to vouch for substitute sweeteners. I have multiple reasons for NOT using eryritol with or without oligosaccharides, food grade glycerin, or anything with probiotic tapioca fiber. None of them are as low in carbs as you may have been lead to believe.
  5. I do occasionally used EZ-Sweetz liquid Sucralose as it adds a different depth of sweetness rather than leaving something one dimensional and neither of the products used here have any carbs in them no matter how much you use. None of the above mentioned can begin to say that which is why you see a nutritional label for 1 t or God forbid ½ t.

Low Carb Shrimp Taco Crêpes

Leave a reply

Low Carb Shrimp Taco CrêpesLow Carb Shrimp Taco CrêpesLow Carb Shrimp Taco CrêpesLow Carb Shrimp Taco Crêpes.  All of the taste and zero carb crêpes instead of who know how many from two 6″ flour tortillas-I think maybe about 18-20g and they taste for all the world just like a good shrimp taco should taste. Hoping that you are able to see from all the crêpes recipes I have recently posted that you can put a whole lot more than just ham and cheese in them. Those white sticks in the background on the plate are jicama sticks sprinkled with lime juice and chili powder and they are so, so good.  You will need one recipe of Flaxseed Meal Crêpes  and if you are so inclined to make your own here is a good recipe for Taco Seasoning which is so much less expensive than the purchased kind and which may have sugar in it.

Don’t make the mistake of using imitation seafood anything.  It is NOT low carb.  It is filled with starch as a binder and has 13g carbs in 3 measly oz.  I made the mistake and paid for it in my BS testing after dinner and I couldn’t figure out why and/but…now I know.
