Keto Dilled Red Radishes

Keto Dilled Red RadishesKeto Dilled Red RadishesKeto Dilled Red RadishesKeto Dilled Red Radishes.  I am in the process of adding new recipes for red radishes as potato substitutes and this keto dilled red radishes recipe is a dilly. Yeah, I think I’m so funny.  Anyway, I used to make Dilled Celery Root which of course has its own unique flavor and I think red radishes make an even better sub for this vegetable dish because it has a more neutral flavor, is more akin to potatoes, and certainly looks more like little red potatoes.  I love celery root but for the average guy it is more difficult to work with and hey, everybody knows what red radishes are. The recipe is so easy it’s ridiculous so…if you like potatoes (and butter) you will love these.  At this point there is one other recipe using red radishes, Garlic Rosemary Roasted Radishes, and I hope you get the idea that for any other recipe on this site that uses daikon radishes (and there are many), you can sub red radishes.  One other note:  Red radishes take about one third the time to cook as daikons and when you are cooking for your hungry family, time means a lot.  In my opinion the very best pairing with these keto dilled red potatoes is Stuffed Shrimp though they go with pretty much anything.

Keto Garlic Rosemary Roasted Radishes

Leave a reply

Garlic Rosemary Roasted RadishesGarlic Rosemary Roasted RadishesKeto Garlic Rosemary Roasted Radishes.  I have a lot of recipes using diakon radish as a fabulous potato substitute but for some reason no red radish recipes.  Red radishes are at least as easy to use and cook and are perfect for keto garlic rosemary roasted radishes.  I boil mine to get ahead of the roasting game but no matter what, they are going to lose some of their color.  These are a great accompaniment to a roasted rack of lamb but I didn’t have any lamb (I did the second time) so I did them with a big fat juicy pork chop topped with tons of what else…garlic and then sprinkled with my Italian Dipping Oil Herbs which I use and sprinkle on all kinds of things.  That other little smidgen of food on the plate is leftover Lemon Bacon Cabbage.

Keto Kugelis

2 Replies

Low Carb KugelisLow Carb KugelisLow Carb KugelisKeto Kugelis. The only question here is:  Do you like bacon? This is an old Lithuanian/Polish dish and is probably made differently by as many people as there are who make it.  Originally a peasant dish made with bacon, grated potatoes, and onions with lots of eggs and milk, it is still made (mostly) the same way today.  Yes, I have onions in mine but have subbed daikon radish for the high carby potatoes and heavy cream for milk and in one word it…is…delicious.  With the invention of some modern appliances like a food processor this is pretty easy to make, it makes a lot and I think I know why.  Way back when as mostly people lived on farms and had lots of little mouths to feed, Kugelis could feed a small army of (children) farm workers and…all the ingredients were not only inexpensive, they were readily available on any farm.  I can’t imagine this this but the women grated the potatoes and the onions on the smallest holes on probably what was some really old grater.  It will look like a pudding before you cook it but rest assured it is not after it has baked.  I guarantee you will not be able to tell any difference between this keto kugelis and any other high carby original and if you have leftovers?  Put a couple of eggs on top and eat it for a super hearty breakfast.

Low Carb African Peanut Soup

Low Carb African Peanut SoupLow Carb African Peanut SoupLow Carb African Peanut SoupLow Carb African Peanut SoupLow Carb African Peanut Soup.  I probably do not have enough soup recipes on this site but this one is a dandy.  There are no hints of any sweetness in it as I have substituted daikon radish for high carby sweet potatoes but don’t kid yourself…This. Is. Good.  The bottom right picture is the same bowl of soup as above only with the addition of za’atar and black seeds (no not black sesame seeds)-these are a totally different and healthy animal all together. I love, love, love the combination and they can also be seen on the Eggplant Soup as well as on the salad with Lemon Tahini Mint Salad Dressing.  Once you have used them, I doubt you would ever give them up.  If you are interested, you can read more here: The Blessed Seed and they are both readily available in almost any Middle-Eastern Grocery so, for a terrific taste of Africa you may want to try this low carb African Peanut Soup.

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 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.

Low Carb Beef And Daikon Radish Soup

Low Carb Beef And Daikon Radish SoupLow Carb Beef And Daikon Radish SoupLow Carb Beef And Daikon Radish SoupLow Carb Beef And Daikon Radish SoupLow Carb Beef And Daikon Radish Soup. Having worked in and having had restaurants, one of the staple soups has always been beef and macaroni.  Not anymore.  Soups can be just as flavorful and full of low carb goodness without potatoes or macaroni or any other high carby vegetable for that matter.  Trust me as I have now eaten low carb for 8 years. Over those years I have come to realize that daikon radish is the perfect substitute for potatoes.  It has its own very mild flavor but totally loses it when cooked and added to other flavors and this low carb beef and daikon radish soup is a perfect example.  I have used celery root, and lots of other things in place of potatoes and daikon radish now remains at the top of my list.  It is good for crudités, soups of all kinds, it can be roasted, and used in stews.  Soooo…this is my ode to daikon radish, and may all you low carbers everywhere use it prodigiously.  You don’t need a thickener for every soup and this is one of them-just filled with good stuff.  There is a kind of secret ingredient and…it’s the Lawry’s Seasoned Salt so, if possible please use it.  I left  some of the cheese off so you see a bit of what the soup looks like.  Now, I can’t make a daikon radish look like macaroni and that’s a fact but-I can make a soup taste so you’ll never miss that macaroni.

Low Carb Seafood Chowder

Leave a reply

Low Carb Seafood ChowderLow Carb Seafood ChowderLow Carb Seafood Chowder.  I don’t have any idea how many 1,000’s of gallons of soup I have made and served over the last nearly 50 years but I know it has been a lot and each time I make anything, no matter what it is, I try to do it better than the last time.  This low carb seafood chowder is not only very easy to make, it has tons of flavor.  One of the truly wonderful things about low carb cooking, and again at least for me, is the opportunity to make so many different, yet familiar dishes.  In my high carby soup days creamed soups were made with the same ole crappy oils & flour roux and it kind of dulled the flavors of things.  Now, using water and heavy cream, lard, duck fat, & bacon grease the flavors are allowed to shine. Yes, they have herbs and spices but not so much is necessary with the actual flavors of real foods coming through.

Had a Twitter friend ask the other day what people thought about opening a low carb food truck.  Personally I like the idea and if I were younger I might try it myself but…I don’t think I would use any terms like low carb or sugarfree or healthy or any of the catch words we use today.  I think I would just let the food speak for itself and it sinks or swims on it’s own.  I believe the quality of the food would be recognized and word would get around.  Portland, OR is foodie town central and people may not exactly recognize what you are doing but they know what they like and at least the people I know, like the food I fix for them (assuming they aren’t lying to me which may be the case) but, they keep coming back for more.  (Gluttons For Punishment)?

Low Carb Kimchi Daikon Radish Soup

Leave a reply

Low Carb Kimchi Daikon Radish SoupLow Carb Kimchi Daikon Radish SoupLow Carb Kimchi Daikon Radish Soup.  Now here is a healthy little soup number if ever there was one.  I use daikon radish in so many things I can hardly begin to name them but here are just a few:  Daikon Radish Dill Pickle Egg Potato Salad,  Daikon Clam Chowder,  Daikon Radish Hasselback Potatoes, and as you can see, I use them in place of potatoes all the time.  If you are not familiar with this extremely versatile vegetable it’s time to begin the introduction.  There are no thickeners, no sugar and no grains in this soup and I hope you are pleasantly surprised by the ease in which it is made.  I’m thinking you might call it a “dump”, heat, and eat soup.  Kimchi is just about one of the healthiest foods on the planet as a leader of fermented probiotics.  I happen to be lucky to live close to a restaurant owned and run by a couple of Korean women. Long ago I used to eat there for breakfast once in a while but after looking at the Cameo Café Menu you can readily see why that had to stop.  But, I have always loved their kimchi which they make in-house, and is what I used for the soup. The short trip was worth it.

WildbrineI do have a recipe for Kimchi Chicken Thighs and when I was eating tons of kimchi I was buying (and still do from time to time) WildBrine brand which if you can get it, I think, is the best on the market.  I still try to do lots of research before I put something in my mouth.

Low Carb German Red Cabbage

Leave a reply

Low Carb German Red CabbageLow Carb German Red CabbageLow Carb German Red CabbageLow Carb German Red Cabbage.  When I was a kid my mom made German red cabbage for us every once in a while because it went so well with schnitzels like pork and veal but somewhere along the line the veal (baby cows) police got a hold of the market and it is almost impossible to find veal anymore-hence calves liver which we had a lot of too.  I hated liver as a kid but certainly learned to love it and still do if I can get it.  As far as I’m concerned, a German meal of low carb Veal/Pork/Chicken/ Schnitzel ala Holstein, Beef Rouladen, or Pork Schnitzel coupled with Spaetzle & this low carb German red cabbage recipe is one of those perfect low carb meals, and you can get all the recipes on this site.  Happy German Eating.

You know, sometimes you coulda had a V-8 but this time I caught it in time.  Not only do I eat raw jicama as a side snack to dinner, I use it in all kinds of other things.  It is terrific as any dip partner Creamy Smooth Guacamole and fabulous in salads like Brussels Sprouts Jicama Salad and Jicama Strawberry Cucumber Salad. and even Saucy Crunchy Peanut Salad.  It is one of the best crudité veggies for dips that I know. I pretty much always either have one on the counter or cut up in the fridge so…while I bought the apple specifically to make this cabbage dish I scrapped it after seeing the jicama sitting there.  I already had the group picture and just added the jicama pics.  A couple of the wonderful things regarding jicama are; they have the texture of apples, a slight sweetness of their own, about ⅓ the carbs of an apple, and enough fiber to choke a dog  if that’s what you want.  Bottom line: I scratched the apple in the picture, put it in some Cranberry Orange Relish, and used my jicama instead and…now you know.

Low Carb Loaded Hasselback Potatoes

Low Carb Loaded Hasselback PotatoesLow Carb Loaded Hasselback PotatoesLow Carb Loaded Hasselback PotatoesLow Carb Loaded Hasselback Potatoes.  Is a daikon radish a potato?  Well no, of course not, but they make a spectacular stand-in in many cases and this is another one of those cases.  I have not had many hasselback potatoes in my life but on those few occasions, at least to me, they seemed kind of like thick horizontal loaded potato chips. These are very easy assuming you have any or all the “loaded” ingredient toppers.  The biggest thing is to get a 9″-10″ long piece of daikon radish (which you will cut in half) and as close to a cylinder of 2½” as possible.  Now daikons are vegetables and as we all know, vegetables do not always cooperate but get as close as you can and go with it.
