Low Carb Zippy Clam Dip

Low Carb Zippy Clam DipLow Carb Zippy Clam DipLow Carb Zippy Clam DipLow Carb Zippy Clam DipLow Carb Zippy Clam Dip. I don’t know about you but if I am going to have clam dip I sure as heck want it Zippy Clam Dip and to have it taste strongly like clams.  This recipe is both.  If you are making it for company then it might be a good idea to serve some kind of crackers along with your crudités and these Sour Cream & Chive Crackers will fill the bill very well but for me pork rinds have become my go-to dip partner.  If you seriously want to go nuts then serve it with cold shelled shrimp for that “seafood overload” feeling and it is seriously good. I’ve shown a picture of the left over clam juice because it is so good to drink and you get a LOT of juice.

Now I’ve seen recipes that include chopped bell red peppers but since you may be using pepper chips I would skip them in the dip and Lord knows I love, love, love bacon and I have also seen and tasted it in clam dip, but as I said I want to be able to actually taste clams and this recipe allows it.  This is best left in the refrigerator over night (yeah, right) but it will be better if ya do.  Taste & add salt only if necessary as depending on the reserved juice used, it can be salty on its own.

Low Carb CruditesCrudités vegetables can include about anything you want.  I would not use broccoli or cauliflower with this as they can be a little overpowering but otherwise about anything else you like will work.  I like thinly sliced carrot and cucumber coins, celery sticks, sliced radishes, snap peas, fennel leaves, endive leaves, cherry tomato halves, mushrooms, jicama sticks, pepper chips and even asparagus spears.  If and when you have any leftovers you can just include them in a salad and to fancy things up a little put your low carb zippy clam dip in a hollowed out cabbage or yellow or orange pepper.  Unless you are trying to impress people or feeding an army you won’t, in 1,000 years use all the listed vegetables so just choose your favorites and have fun.

Low Carb Hunter Chicken

Low Carb Hunter ChickenLow Carb Hunter Chicken. One can only imagine the origins but it is not an American dish.  It was a meal made at the end of a day of hunting with likely lots of root vegetables and whatever meat may have been at hand.  Squirrel or rabbit anyone?  Now we know that the Italians love their wine so what better way to braise meat?  White wine can be subbed for the red wine but my preference is red.  The original was probably Chianti  but um, I don’t drink Chianti.

Low Carb Kimchi Chicken Thighs

Leave a reply

Low Carb Kimchi Chicken ThighsLow Carb Kimchi Chicken Thighs. Many of you may think of these as very hot & spicy which it certainly can be but with the addition of the tomatoes and wine I think you will find it’s not that spicy.  Kimchi is the national dish of Korea and there is a battle royal with Japan for not only who makes the best kimchi but who made it first. Uh, I don’t know but I do know it is a super healthy fermented food. Here is what Dr. Mercola says. Low carb kimchi chicken thighs are seriously to die for.

KimchiSeveral years back in my local New Seasons Market I said to a fellow in the produce department that I know, and knew wasn’t the right person, that I wanted to talk to the resident store expert about kimchi. Well, set me back on my heels and blow me over with a feather. Turns out David is the resident expert, had been making his own kimchi for many years and proceeded to tell me more than I ever wanted to know and now, because of David, I have eaten kimchi ever since. Now I do not make my own (what a pity) and this is the brand I do use WildBrine.  Sometimes I eat the Japanese version and sometimes the Korean version and for this recipe you can use any kimchi you can get your hands on.

Low Carb Crab Stuffed Sole Packages

Low Carb Crab Stuffed Sole PackagesLow Carb Crab Stuffed Sole PackagesLow Carb Crab Stuffed Sole Packages. OK, so a couple of weeks ago I did a recipe for Crab Stuffed Shrimp/Béarnaise Sauce and since there are not many people in my little family I still had leftovers of everything.  Already thinking ahead, I bought four filets of sole and made this the next evening. Once you have the crab stuffing it is even easier to make the sole because there is no shrimp peeling. Again you will need the recipe for Sauce Béarnaise to complete the dish.  As you look at the pictures it’s pretty easy to see these make nice little low carb crab stuffed sole packages to wow dinner guests.

Low Carb Chicken In Buttery Vinegar

Leave a reply

Low Carb Chicken In Buttery VinegarLow Carb Chicken In Buttery Vinegar. Interesting story here.  I first made chicken in buttery vinegar somewhere in about 1993.  Back then it was with turkey medallions but my recipe is the same otherwise.  I made it over and over because not only was it fantastic, it was also very easy.  The only recipe I was able to find was Saveur Magazine’s Grilled Turkey With Cracked Pepper, Caramelized Onion, & Vinegar who gave credit to chef Mary Sue Milliken of the TV program Two Hot Tamales fame and who can remember everything?  I may have seen their recipe on their show.  I would never question the origins of this recipe and I am putting it up because it is so good.  I am subbing chicken for turkey and of course if you want to use turkey-go for it.  The cool thing is, I wasn’t thinking about low carb well over 20 years ago but sometimes…I was eating that way and low carb chicken in buttery vinegar is a good example.

Who couldn’t love this dipping sauce to dab meaty snacks into?  Well, I do do and this is perfect for any game day and ideal for chicken wings, Bacon Wrapped Shrimp or bacon wrapped chicken bites. Pictured is the sauce with both and since I had some leftover, I had it with Pulled Pork a couple nights later.  Served with Coleslaw or one of the many other Salad Recipes on this site & it’s dinner done.

Low Carb Crab Stuffed ShrimpLow Carb Crab Stuffed ShrimpKeto Crab Stuffed Shrimp. OK  so this just came to me in a flash.  I was fixing Stuffed Shrimp which is certainly lowcarb and fabulous when it dawned on me:  Why not take the same ingredients in the stuffing, omit the Carbalose Flour Bread crumbs and use crab meat to do this keto Crab Stuffed Shrimp with Béarnaise Sauce instead.  Oh Lordy, I love flashbulb moments and this was one of them. Low Carb Crab Stuffed ShrimpI had just purchased & picked a fresh dungeness crab and had lots left over after making Veal Oscar (Also See Steak Oscar) so…I experimented.  I also already had leftover Sauce Béarnaise from the same Oscar so testing this was a piece of cake. I don’t know what to say except this is unbelievable.  This may be my all time company-for-dinner recipe and the great thing…it is so easy. Guaranteed to WOW friends and family.

Keto Baked Cabbage Steaks

Leave a reply

Low Carb Baked Cabbage SteaksKeto Baked Cabbage Steaks. There are just days I like messing around in the kitchen dabbling with this and that.  I was standing there staring at a cabbage thinking I might make some Cheesy Creamed Cabbage & Bacon when this came to mind and I’m saying why not.  We all know what a good beef steak is but keto baked cabbage steaks?  I love coming up with new descriptions of food and it comes from my restaurant background.  It is always a challenge to name menu items or daily specials and for me it’s fun (and I am definitely all about fun).

These are easy and the ingredients can be made ahead with the final assembly later just before popping them into the oven.  Since tasty cabbage recipes are such a sought after low carb item this will fill the bill nicely.  If your cabbage is large enough the recipe should easily feed 8-10 people but choose the size most appropriate for your family.  These are so good some people may want seconds and leftovers?…no problem. Pictured was a very small cabbage making 6 servings. Looking at two of the pictures reminds me a little of the old game Ms Pac-Man.

Low Carb Kashke Bademjan

Leave a reply

Low Carb Kashk-e-BademjanLow Carb Kashke Bademjan.  I had been talking to a friend who lives in Dubai, on the last day of the year and of course the talk inevitably gets to food. She asked me if I had ever had Kashk-e-Bademjan which is a Persian (Iranian) eggplant-onion dish and my answer was no. I don’t have any idea how countries around the world come up with some of the eggplant dishes they do but I can say this: Some of them are doozies and this low carb kashke Bademjan is one of them. I must say it is about the ugliest dish imaginable but it also one of the tastiest too. It is all but impossible to tell the onion mixture on top from the mashed eggplant & onion mixture on the bottom and the only redeeming visual is the Yogurt on top. Since it was an experiment and I hadn’t made it before, I have changed the recipe to reflect the easy way to make it since it all looks the same color anyway. But…don’t let the picture fool you, this stuff is terrific. It would of course normally be scooped with a flatbread or Naan and as an appetizer you can savor each little bite with a fork. Enjoy.

Dubai FireI didn’t get to finish my conversation with Tatyana as she started screaming and saying I have to go, I have to go. Well, we all know why now. It had just come on the news that a hotel in Dubai was ablaze. Unbelievably no one was killed but I got just enough information from her to do this recipe.

Low Carb Chicken Nachos

Leave a reply

Low Carb Chicken NachosLow Carb Chicken Nachos.  OK, the thought of Chicken Nachos just makes my mouth water but since I can’t eat regular tortilla chips anymore this is how I do it now.  You can either make my Carbalose Flour Tortillas chips or…use everything listed in the recipe below, forget the tortilla chips and cover red, yellow, and orange pepper chips or…you can even forget the pepper chips and eat it with a fork.  Chips are only used as a conveyance mechanism anyway and with the invention of the fork you don’t need chips.  I am using pulled chicken as my base but certainly Pulled Pork  would work and so would ground beef.  I like pulled meats because they have so much more SURFACE AREA and the cheese sauce can get into more of those nooks & crannies. So have a good time with this and top it as you wish. These low carb chicken nachos are really keto, just don’t tell anyone.

Low Carb Chicken a’la Marsala

Leave a reply

Low Carb Chicken a'la MarsalaLow Carb Chicken a'la MarsalaLow Carb Chicken a’la Marsala is another one of those cold winter night comfort foods.  It is very easy to make assuming you have DRY Marsala wine on hand and if you don’t…you should.  Do not use sweet Marsala or you’ll be sorry.  This is traditionally made with either veal (fantastic) or boneless skinless chicken breasts which of course is great but I actually like to make mine with thigh meat because I think they taste better and are much juicier than a white meat breast.  Just my opinion. Normally the chicken breasts are cut in half and then in half again and pounded into medallions so if you are using breasts then do this.  If using thighs pound them as flatly as you can and cut each one in half (there is a kind of natural center) to use as your medallions.  If using Pancetta or bacon reserve the fat to use for sautéing.

A little truth telling here.  I de-boned my own chicken thighs so of course I left the skin on and…I also used duck fat as my fat of choice.  I believe duck fat is the more heavenly cousin of chicken fat.  Don’t know if you can tell from the picture but I used Pancetta because I pretty much have it in the freezer at all times and of course it produces it’s own fat too. Pretty much any way you make any low carb chicken a’la marsala is…going to be good as it is a very forgiving recipe.
