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.

Low Carb Mung Bean Sprouts Carbonara

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

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.

  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.

So, if you can have Low Carb Fajitas on a large cheese tortilla why couldn’t you have it inside a zero carb crepe?  I hope this is proof that you can.  All the flavor and none of the carbs in a flour tortilla and they are very easy to make.  If you happen to end up with any  of the meat-pepper mix, it makes a terrific breakfast with an egg or two on top and if truth be told, I try to always make a little extra to have a couple of days later for dinner.  You will need one recipe of 12 Flaxseed Meal Crêpes for your low carb beef fajita crepes.

Keto Spinach Mushroom Bacon Crêpes

Low Carb Spinach Mushroom Bacon CrêpesLow Carb Spinach Mushroom Bacon CrêpesLow Carb Spinach Mushroom Bacon CrêpesKeto Spinach Mushroom Bacon Crêpes.  I am having so much fun doing this series of crêpe recipes, I can’t even tell you.  Not only do I make them, I get to eat them- so, it’s a best of both worlds kind of scenario.  The combination of ingredients in these particular crêpes is that of a good quiche so maybe, since real men don’t eat quiche-you can get them to eat these. You will need one recipe of 12 Flaxseed Meal Crêpes to make these keto spinach mushroom bacon crêpes.

I have quite a few new crêpes recipes now and to see a few of them check these out too.  Crab Rangoon Bundles With Asian DrizzleStrawberry Orange Crêpes  and there are now many more-some savory and some for dessert.

Keto Beef Burrito Crêpes

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 GalloCreamy 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.

Low Carb Shrimp Taco Crêpes

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.

Keto Mu Shu Pork Crêpes

Low Carb Mu Shu Pork CrêpesLow Carb Mu Shu Pork CrêpesKeto Mu Shu Pork Crêpes.  I doubt there are too many people in this country who have never had either Mu Shu Pork or Peking Duck at one time or another in their lives and the predominate flavor in both is Hoisin Sauce.  In most restaurants all the ingredients are cooked in a wok, bound together with egg and served in a large bowl with a side of Chinese pancakes which is fine if that’s what you know but it is my opinion that people love to make their own food at a communal table and this is the perfect meal with which to do it.  It does not take much of each ingredient to make one crêpe and if served in small bowls on the table, each person can pick and choose their own ingredients.  And there is a big bonus, you can actually taste each flavor.  Soooo with all that said, I am going to show you two ways to fix this.  One is probably just as good as the other but the second way is…a lot faster and sometimes when we are putting a meal on the table, faster is better.

You will need a recipe for both Flaxseed Meal Crêpes and Hoisin Sauce.  It is also my opinion that once you have made both of these Keto Mu Shu Pork Crêpes recipes you will make them again and again as there are so many recipes, just on this site alone that use them, and of course you are welcome to make up your own.

I have now made a completely Separate Crepes Category for the many crêpe recipes I am developing but for now here are a few of them.  Raspberry Almond CrêpesCrab Rangoon Bundles/Asian DrizzleChicken Enchiladas,  Mushroom Ham Cheese Quesadillas and more.

I would normally have this concoction on one of my Low Carb Carbalose English Muffins but this is an even lower carb keto version without the Carbalose Flour.  Nearly all the same ingredients, just presented in a different form so instead of even the few carbs in the muffins there are zero in the crêpes.  They are easy to make and fun to eat to your heart’s content. I now have a whole catagory of Crêpes listed to the right.  Some are savory and some are sweet.  These Low Carb Lox And Cream Cheese Crêpes are very versatile and can be eaten for breakfast, lunch, or dinner and you will need a recipe of Flaxseed Meal Crêpes.

Low Carb Puttanesca Over Mung Bean Sprouts

Low Carb Puttanesca Over Mung Bean SproutsLow Carb Puttanesca Over Mung Bean SproutsLow Carb Puttanesca Over Mung Bean Sprouts.  I’m going out on a limb with this recipe but as I have eaten and cooked with mung bean sprouts, I realize what a truly versatile vegetable it is.  It has virtually no flavor of its own so it takes on the flavor of whatever it is cooked with and of course we see this time and again in Asian cuisine.  Why not use it as your “noodle” or pasta for pretty much anything and with this recipe, it is exactly what I have done.  I am pairing it with a zesty Puttanesca Sauce and in one word it is delicious.  If you have your own favorite tomato based marinara sauce then by all means use it but Puttanesca is not just any normal red sauce.  As far as I’m concerned, mung bean sprouts could replace pasta in many, many other dishes. Not all but again, many.  Other sprouts recipes include Mung Bean Sprouts SaladStir Fried Mung Bean SproutsChicken Parmesan, and they play a small role in the Vietnamese Shrimp Bowl.

Low Carb Chicken Parmesan Over Sprouts

Low Carb Chicken Parmesan Over SproutsLow Carb Chicken Parmesan Over SproutsLow Carb Chicken Parmesan Over Sprouts. A pretty study in the Italian flag colors of red, white, and green.  It is ridiculous that I have never posted a recipe for Chicken Parmesan but I am only human and as I was doing the Puttanesca Over Mung Bean Sprouts I realized instead of doing this over something like spaghetti squash why not also make a low carb chicken Parmesan over mung bean sprouts too. Heaven only knows how many recipes I have replaced flour using pork skins but this is at least the latest.  You need to trust me on this, fried pork skins keep EVERYTHING moist.  I have said I fry my own pellets but you can easily enough buy pork skins and even buy the ground Pork Dust here.  This is a very simple & easy recipe and I can’t imagine what the carb difference would be between real pasta and mung bean sprouts but I do know this, I can eat sprouts and I can’t eat pasta.
