Low Carb BBQ Sauce

Low Carb BBQ SauceLow Carb BBQ Sauce. This is a basic BBQ sauce and anything can be adjusted to suit your tastes.  It tastes pretty good on it’s own but sauces can be so subjective and easy to tweak.

  2. If you like really smoky sauce, add another tsp. of liquid smoke.
  3. If you like it sweet add a drop or two of EZ-Sweetz or use low carb ketchup.
  4. Like lots of onion? Add more. Just remember onions have carbs which is why I grate mine. Grating gets you the most flavor, punch and bang for your buck.
  5. Spicier? Add more Cayenne.
  6. More piquant? Add more chili powder.
  7. Like Worcestershire? Add some.

Keto Cranberry Orange Mousse

Keto Cranberry Orange MousseKeto Cranberry Orange MousseKeto Cranberry Orange Mousse. You will need leftover Cranberry Orange Relish  to make this recipe. I have given another example of this recipe Almond Butter Mousse and now, using your imagination, I’ll bet you can come up with a lot more flavors to “mousse”.  Strawberry and raspberry come to mind.  The ingredients are basic and anything else may easily be substituted. Keto cranberry orange mousse is light, very flavorful and a perfect little something to end a perfect meal.  Cranberry Cream Cheese Pie is another terrific use for any leftover relish.

Keto Creamy Garlic SoupKeto Creamy Garlic SoupKeto Creamy Garlic Soup. Long ago I ducked into a newly opened restaurant and this keto creamy garlic soup was on the menu.  I ordered it and it was so good I ask what the ingredients were and proceeded to make it at home. The next thing you know I am making it by the gallon for my own restaurant and again people loved it.  I in turn got many requests for the recipe & happily pass it along to you. Enjoy this keto creamy garlic soup.

Notes
  1. I very rarely buy carrots because I consider them like little sugar bombs but they are an essential ingredient for this soup and anyway, it’s not much.
  2. You might be surprised but this soup has a slightly sweet taste, probably because of the garlic.
  3. Eat this with good friends. It is absolutely fabulous but not necessarily good on a first date.
  4. Adding sour cream and onions to soup can sometimes be amazing. Cauliflower Vichyssoise comes to mind.

Low Carb Bacon Wrapped Shrimp

Low Carb Bacon Wrapped ShrimpBacon Wrapped Shrimp

Low Carb Bacon Wrapped Shrimp. When buying shrimp you want to shop the count per pound NOT Small, Medium, Large, or Jumbo.  These terms mean absolutely nothing.  To see more regarding the sizing of shrimp please see SHRIMP under the Food Lagniappes page.

I try to buy U15’s (under 15 per pound) but 16-20 is a pretty good size shrimp for this recipe.

These are terrific dipped in Bleu Cheese Dressing, Remoulade Sauce, or Smoky Sweet & Sour Dipping Sauce as seen above.

Bacon Wrapped Shrimp
Print
Ingredients
  1. 24 Large (12-15) Shelled & Deveined Shrimp/Tail On
  2. 12 Bacon Slices Cut In Half
Directions
  1. This is a Japanese trick and keeps the shrimp from curling. There is a long extremely well developed muscle running the length of the underbelly of a shrimp where the legs are attached and this muscle needs to be severed at each segment.
  2. With sharp pointed scissors cut the underbelly of each shrimp segment about ¼” and if you don’t have scissors, turn the shrimp upside down and with a sharp knife gently cut each segment.
  3. Lay bacon on cutting board vertically and place shrimp at a 45 degree angle. Wrap bacon in a spiral around each shrimp and secure with a toothpick at top.
  4. Heat oil on medium high until very hot and lay shrimp in-frying until bacon is finished. Don’t overcook as bacon will be hard and tough.
  5. Drain and serve with celery sticks and Bleu Cheese Dressing or Remoulade Sauce.

Keto Crabmeat St Francis

Leave a reply

Keto Crabmeat St FrancisKeto Crabmeat St FrancisKeto Crabmeat St Francis. This is my variation of a very famous New Orleans dish by famed Chef Warren Leruth.  I was first introduced to this dish while working at Beggar’s Banquet in E. Lansing, Michigan in 1974.  One of the four owners had worked for Chef Leruth and we served it as an appetizer. It can certainly be served as a dinner which the recipe is written for. With a big ole salad-dinner done.  Oh, what heady days those were.

Warren Leruth is now dead, and I don’t know where Martin Richard (pronounced Ri Chard) is, but Beggar’s Banquet?  It is still there at the main entrance to Michigan State University on Abbott Rd. serving great food after opening 40 years ago and you…are now able to have keto crabmeat St Francis anytime you want.  If you’re interested in a trip down memory lane here is a small article with lots of pictures about Beggar’s Banquet. and yeah, we all looked like those hippies in the pictures. Here is another article with a picture of the original menu. Martin was an incredible artist.

  3. Add heavy cream & wine and reduce slightly.
  4. Remove bay leaves & fold in crab meat.

Notes
  1. Very good served over mashed buttered cauliflower or spinach.
  2. If crabmeat is too expensive where you live then you could easily substitute finely chopped shrimp, langostinos, chopped clams or a combination of some kind. And as I think about it you might even try imitation crab meat but beware: it is just very starchy and high carb which kinda defeats the whole purpose of this website.

Keto Poppy Seed DressingKeto Poppy Seed DressingKeto Poppy Seed DressingKeto Poppy Seed DressingKeto Poppy Seed DressingKeto Poppy Seed Dressing. Gads, I tried and tried to make this keto poppy seed dressing with the original oil version but because I wasn’t using sugar I could not keep everything in suspension.  It tasted just like the original but it kept separating and you would have to shake it.  I have to say though, that this keto creamy poppy seed dressing version of the famous poppy seed dressing is pretty tasty stuff and nearly identical to it’s original sister. The salad shown is with strawberries, bacon and tomato.

Low Carb Shrimp With Andouille Sausage

Low Carb Shrimp With Andouille SausageLow Carb Shrimp With Andouille SausageLow Carb Shrimp With Andouille SausageLow Carb Shrimp With Andouille SausageLow Carb Shrimp With Andouille Sausage. This is New Orleans food at its best and mine is served over Cauliflower Grits.  I want you to notice the fat distribution in the andouille.  It is quite irregular and the way it should look.  Those are chunks of fat which means it is not some over-processed crap sausage and that fat absolutely make the andouille taste fantastic. And the pork is in chunks so you know you are getting whole muscle pieces.  Yes, I do order mine from Cajun Grocers in LA but they come frozen, in a 1 lb. roll, and last a very long time in the freezer.  The link will take you to the andouille I buy.

If you want the best grits ever you might try the one that go with the Grillades Over Cheesy Cauliflower Grits.  Not only do they have cheese in them, they also have thyme in them and we all know one of the predominate flavors in Louisiana cooking is thyme.  So, if you love New Orleans food & you love grits you can’t go wrong with low carb shrimp with andouille sausage.

Low Carb Cream Of Anything Soup

Leave a reply

Low Carb Cream Of Anything Soup and you will need a stick blender to make them.

Low Carb Cream Of Anything SoupI cook 2 or 3 large heads of cauliflower at a time, squeeze out as much water as possible, take my stick blender to it, and then freeze it measuring about 1½ cups at a time so I always have it either as a mashed potato substitute or to thicken soups. The soup shown is a cream of broccoli but as I say below, it could be anything.

I  suggest chicken base in lieu of salt because it has a depth of flavor that salt does not have.  I have always use this Premium Chicken Base.

Premium Chicken BaseThe link is in case anyone is interested in any of the R L Schreiber Bases.  They have every imaginable base there is.  I only know about them because of my association with the food industry.  If you actually end up ordering any of them you will need to call in the order and best to ask for Irene Ames.  You will see this used many times in my recipes.    Best to order the 2.5 lb sizes which fits well in your fridge.  Main site is rlschrieber.com and they have many many products.

Porcini Dust is used as an addition to enhance mushroom soup.

Ingredients
  1. ¾ C Onion Small Dice
  2. 2 T Butter, Olive or Coconut Oil
  3. 3 C Water
  4. 2 C Heavy Cream
  5. 1 T Chicken Base Paste*** ( I use a premium chicken base made by R L Schreiber)
  6. 1-2 C Cauliflower Puréed with stick blender depending on how thick you want your soup.
  7. Pinch of Nutmeg
  8. Fresh Pepper to Taste
  9. Correct Seasoning When Finished.
Directions
  1. Sauté onion in oil until translucent. Remove half.
  2. Add water, chicken base, cauliflower, and ½ of any blanched or sautéed vegetable you want (Broccoli, Mushrooms, Asparagus, etc.) and use stick blender to puree all.
  3. Add heavy cream and remaining ½ of your cooked vegetables, stir, and heat to temperature.
  4. If too thin add more cauliflower/if too thick add more water or cream.
  5. Season soup to taste with chicken base and pepper. (I have been using RL Schreiber Bases for years)
  6. If making mushroom soup add 2 t porcini dust. Wow, this makes the best mushroom soup ever.
  7. Makes 6-7 Cups
  8. 6 Servings
  9. Calories, and carbs will vary according to ingredients but will be very low carb.
Notes
  1. Variations: blanched broccoli, sautéed mushrooms, sautéed leeks, blanched asparagus, canned diced tomatoes, poached and pulled chicken/pork and whatever else you can think of.
  2. If using leeks and or onions puree all together and this will give you a soup so similar to vichyssoise you will not be able to tell the difference. You might serve this with drizzled melted butter, a dollop of sour cream, and topped with chives.
  3. Other great low carb additions to your soups might be lardons, bacon, Andouille, kielbasa, or your own choice of sausage and of course any number of cheeses.

As you can see I also make this in a smaller size suitable to split with a buddy.

I will never understand why people think it is so important to have a high carby crust with any quiche as it is so unnecessary. If it’s made correctly, the flavors with by far out-shine any crust you could possible put in it.
