Keto Glass Skin Chicken

Leave a reply

Keto Glass Skin ChickenKeto Glass Skin ChickenKeto Glass Skin ChickenKeto Glass Skin ChickenKeto Glass Skin Chicken. This chicken has got to have the crispiest skin ever, if done correctly will crack like glass, and with only 6 ingredients is one of my easiest to make. Yes,  lots of good fats.

I discovered this recipe on a site called Splash of Keto. (I followed her on Twitter), I have recommended some of her recipes and retweeted several of them and have never gotten any acknowledgment but she was relatively new at the time and of course was going to give her any benefit of the doubt. I am not the most adept person on social media myself so… She calls her dish Salt & Vinegar Chicken but I like the name Keto Glass Skin Chicken because it pretty well describes the way the chicken skin turns out. If you take a knife or fork and tap it, should sound and crack like glass. I have changed the ratios a little and upped the temperature quite a bit but it is essentially the same.

Keto Hoisin Tartar Sauce

Keto Hoisin Tartar SauceKeto Hoisin Tartar SauceKeto Hoisin Tartar Sauce. I decided to post this recipe for myself so I wouldn’t have to guess at the ingredients every time I wanted to make it. So make it or not, it is fabulous and I probably will never go back to my older Tartar Sauce again. There is always a catch and this one needs my Sugar Free Hoisin Sauce but since I always have that in the fridge to make Peking Duck anyway, for me it’s easy peasy so…for the win it’s keto hoisin tartar sauce.

I have made this with both dill relish and sweet relish and I have to say I personally like the sweet relish a lot better and Mt. Olive brand is available at Safeway I have also tasted several sugar free relishes and Mt. Olive is still THE best.

Keto Daikon Tartiflette

Leave a reply

Keto Daikon TartifletteKeto Daikon TartifletteKeto Daikon TartifletteKeto Daikon TartifletteKeto Daikon TartifletteKeto Daikon Tartiflette. I am making this recipe available because…drum roll please…I had absolutely all the ingredients in hand and at the ready including Creme Fraiche that I just happened to make last week. I have changed nothing except to replace Yukon Gold potatoes with Daikon Radish so you are going to get pretty much the real deal here. I have made no secret that where, and when possible, I will shamelessly substitute low carb ingredients from someone else’s high carb recipe which I have done here. This Keto Daikon Tartiflette is simply the essence of Keto~LowCarb food at its finest.

When I first saw the recipe it was touted as an après ski dish so, we’ll let it rest on that but if I were you, (and I’m not) I would use this as a side dish with any meal featuring meat. There are many good cheese substitutes which I have added to the Notes.  A few last words; keto daikon tartiflette is easy to make and to-die-for good.

Daikon Tartiflette
Print
Ingredients
  1. 8 Oz. Raclette Cheese + More If You Deem It Necessary (Please See Notes)

  8. 1 Medium Onion
  9. 1 C Heavy Cream
  10. ½ C White Wine
  11. Crème Fraîche Or Sour Cream (Optional)
Instructions
  1. Depending on circumference size, peel then cut daikon radish into ⅛” half-moons or into 4 pie shaped pieces if daikon is large. You want bite size pieces.
  2. Par boil, cook to tender, and drain.
  3. Meanwhile, cut bacon into ¾” pieces, fry until mostly crispy, and drain leaving 2 T grease in pan.
  4. Cut and add medium chopped onion to bacon fat, add ½ t salt, and cook until softened & just barely browning.
  5. Add thyme and garlic and cook about 1-2 minutes.
  6. Add wine, reduce by half, stir in heavy cream, pepper and last ¾ t salt, reducing only slightly.
  7. Add potatoes and blend all to combine.
  8. Put ½ of potato mixture into an 8”x8” glass baking dish, top with 1/2 bacon, topped with last of potatoes and finally last of the bacon.

Notes
  1. If you look up this recipe on the internet it calls for Reblochon Cheese which, very sadly, is not available in the US. Its been used in Europe since the 14th Century but no again, not here (you know raw, unpasteurized milk & silly stuff like that) so here are a few subs you can use.
  2. I used Raclette. You can also use a Camembert, or Brie as both rinds are eminently edible and melt. Both Gruyere & Emmenthal may be used as well as Fontina. (Without the rinds).
  3. Any meltable cheese will work but but...there are some that are better than others and please DO NOT cheddar.
  4. You may get a couple more servings per this recipe.

Keto Vietnamese Shaking Beef

Leave a reply

Keto Vietnamese Shaking BeefKeto Vietnamese Shaking BeefKeto Vietnamese Shaking BeefKeto Vietnamese Shaking BeefKeto Vietnamese Shaking Beef. You are going to see this most often served atop a salad and if that’s what you want then by all means do it and it’s what I did the first time I made it. If presented with just meat I would choose just meat every time. The Vietnamese do not eat as much meat as we do, opting instead for more vegetables & rice. My friend David Diamond @LDLSkeptic told me not to forget meats in 2023 so this keto Vietnamese shaking beef is for you David.

Notes
  1. Since good tender meat has gotten so expensive, I am now using the little known hanger steak. For me, it is the right size to make bigger chunks of beef as I like my meat on the rather rare side.
  2. Also good with paper thin slices of purple onion garnishing.

Keto Eggplant Parmesan

Leave a reply

Keto Eggplant ParmesanKeto Eggplant ParmesanKeto Eggplant ParmesanKeto Eggplant ParmesanKeto Eggplant Parmesan. This recipe is for two-three people so all you need to do is double it for four or…buy a really large eggplant. (Not Recommended) The idea may be to look at your finished fried slices to determine the number of people you can serve. You will need 8 slices total for two and if you have a child to help you eat this then you can stack three slices instead of four and the two left over for a smaller appetite. I found 3 Mini Rolls (formerly lost) in my freezer which is why you see them on my plate. I know there are many, many recipes for low carb eggplant Parmesan, this is just my own easy way to make it. This is keto eggplant Parmesan because it has enough cheese (fat) in it to choke a dog.

Low Carb Chicken Hearts

Leave a reply

Low Carb Chicken HeartsLow Carb Chicken HeartsLow Carb Chicken Hearts. Don’t ask why but I have always loved chicken hearts. They are super easy to fix and because of the their high fat content, they are naturally very high in the satiety category. I happen to pretty much like most (but not all) organ meats and low carb chicken hearts is one of them. As a kid my mom always fried the WHOLE chicken which meant the heart, gizzard, and liver and I guess that is probably the reason I have always loved them. I don’t eat gizzards but my Chicken Liver Paté is utterly to die for.

I know that casserole dish looks like it has gone through the Boer War because it has.

This casserole is all about the protein and fat and has nothing to do with calories and if anyone cares the carbohydrates are 3% of the total.

Keto Tiger Everything Dip

Leave a reply

Keto Tiger Everything DipKeto Tiger Everything DipKeto Tiger Everything Dip pretty well spells out what it is in its name, and is another one of those things that I like to say is good on a brick…and it is that good. I am showing it as  kind of a tartar sauce dip with shrimp but it is also fabulous with all kinds vegetables which you may find in/on a crudités platter. It may sound a bit spicy but it is not with the addition of the sour cream or mayo. After you have finished with the Base and before the last addition of sour cream or mayo gives it a good taste because it is wonderful with meats of all kinds. So go ahead and at least try it because it is super easy to make and…good on a brick. Also great to dress a hamburger, dip Daikon Radish Fries & green beans into and etc., etc., etc.

Low Carb Daikon Radish O’Brien

Leave a reply

Low Carb Daikon Radish O’BrienLow Carb Daikon Radish O’BrienLow Carb Daikon Radish O’Brien is a particularly versatile dish and will go with just about any meats. But where it really shines is with eggs for breakfast, which I eat for dinner. I call them super glorified hash browns and can also be used with left-over Prime Rib, Pulled Pork, or Lamb mixed in for a fabulous hash.  Low Carb Daikon Radish O’Brien is wonderful served for breakfast on Christmas or Thanksgiving to kind of curb small appetites that may be trying to get into early morning candy but certainly sophisticated for the older palate. Don’t know it you can tell by the pictures but the radishes are cut to Brabant size.

Keto Middle Eastern Israeli Salad

Leave a reply

Keto Middle Eastern Israeli SaladKeto Middle Eastern Israeli SaladKeto Middle Eastern Israeli Salad is a light lemony side dish to any meal and the best news is that it can be made ahead of time, including adding the avocado because it has loads of lemon juice and olive oil. You can adjust your own amounts because this recipe is just a well-balanced guide. What makes this recipe “keto” you may ask? The reason is the fat amounts in not only the olive oil, but the copious amounts of fat in the avocados. Enjoy.

  2. Also used cherry tomatoes as I think they hold up better than others.
  3. Because there is so much lemon juice & olive oil the avocados WILL NOT turn brown.

Low Carb Chicken VindalooLow Carb Chicken VindalooLow Carb Chicken VindalooLow Carb Chicken VindalooChicken Vindaloo. About 6 months ago I walked out to get my mail and there was a package delivered by Uber Eats or some such company and since I have never ordered take-out food from anyone, I knew it wasn’t for me. I called the restaurant to let them know there had been a mistake and they told me to throw it away. But…before I did, I thought I wanted to taste it. It was Chicken Vindaloo, which I had never had, and Oh Boy was it spicy, spicy hot. Now I love spicy food as much as the next guy but this was truly over-the-moon hot and because it was so hot, I forgot about it.

So, I was watching Christopher Kimble on Milk StreetTV a couple of weeks ago and he did a recipe for Chicken Vindaloo. I immediately realized I could eat it so I went about making it for myself. Well, let me tell you, it is fantastic and you can make it as spicy (or not) as you want to. Yes, I took out the brown sugar but that’s about it and here ya go…my version of low carb chicken vindaloo.
