Keto Scalloped Daikon Radishes

Keto Scalloped Daikon RadishesKeto Scalloped Daikon RadishesKeto Scalloped Daikon RadishesKeto Scalloped Daikon RadishesKeto Scalloped Daikon RadishesKeto Scalloped Daikon Radishes.  So…we had a new Eastern European Market open here in Portland, I went to see what it was about but what I was really looking for was veal-in any form I could get it.  No primal cuts of any kind but they did have veal sausages (what I would call real bratwurst or weisswurst) but I had never seen nor tasted veal baloney so I bought some.  Oh for heaven’s sake.  To best describe it I would call the consistency a combination of heavy cream and butter-it is that creamy-anyway to die for.  Just because I could, I also bought some black radishes and when I got home, I decided to use a combo of both, coming up with this keto scalloped daikon radishes recipe.  What? You ask. The recipe says daikon radishes.  Well, here’s the deal.  I did make it with the black radishes but they were large, a little tough, and took forever to cook, so I switched the recipe to daikon radish which will par-boil and soften in about 15-20 minutes or, about the same time it takes to boil potatoes for scalloping.

This Keto Scalloped Daikon Radishes recipe is a take on one of my old (cheap) college favorites. Back in the day and in my case the late 60’s, one of the least expensive foods you could buy were potatoes. At the time, potatoes were about .49 for a 10 lb. bag and ham was about .49 per lb. So if you think about it this recipe was a really inexpensive way to serve 4-6 hungry college students.  The recipe card calls for cubed ham since I’m pretty sure you won’t find veal baloney anywhere anytime soon.

Scalloped Daikon Radishes
Print
Ingredients
  1. 2 Lbs Cut ¹⁄₁₆" Sliced Daikon Radish. I Quarter Them After Slicing (On A Mandoline). The Idea Is To Have Pretty Much Bite And Evenly Sized Pieces.
  2. ½ Lb Good Quality Cubed Ham And Shaved Is Good Too. (No Water Added Ham If Possible)
  3. 4 Oz Shredded Gruyere Cheese (Cheddar Works Too but Gruyere Gives The Best Flavor)
  4. 1 Small Diced Onion
  5. 1½ C Heavy Cream
  6. ¼ C Green Onion Tops
  7. 1 T Butter (Divided)
  8. 2 t Dry Mustard Powder
  9. 2 t Chicken Base
  10. ¼ C Parmesan Cheese
  11. ¼ C Pork Rind Dust
  12. 1 t Pepper
Instructions
  1. When ready, preheat oven to 350°.
  2. Peel & slice daikon radishes, cover and simmer until fork tender 15-20 minutes depending on how thick you cut them. They should look translucent as the pic shows. Drain well and put into a large bowl.
  3. Quickly sauté ham in 1 t butter and add to radishes.
  4. Sauté onion in remaining butter until just softened and add to bowl.
  5. Add ½ cheese and green onions to bowl & mix well.
  6. Heat heavy cream, mustard powder, pepper, and chicken base & reduce slightly.
  7. Pour cream mixture into bowl and mix well.
  8. Mix Parmesan cheese and ground pork rinds.
  9. Put into glass casserole dish, top with remaining cheese, and top all with Parmesan cheese mix.
  10. Put into oven and bake until bubbly around all the edges and topping is lightly browned.

Notes
  1. I make this all at once so the ingredients are still warm and so that the topping will not over brown. You can easily let this all sit on the counter for a while but if it gets cold, turn oven to 325° so topping will not over-brown before casserole is finished heating.
  2. I needed to sprinkle paprika to take pictures for contrast, otherwise all I got was white which is why there is no paprika in the ingredients list.

Keto Loaded Red Radishes

Leave a reply

Keto Loaded Red RadishesKeto Loaded Red RadishesKeto Loaded Red RadishesKeto Loaded Red Radishes.  Not long ago I did a recipe for Smashed Red Radishes and that recipe led to this one.  I’ll not bore you with how I got to them but you can read all about it on the other recipe.  Of course this is a take on what might be hashed brown potatoes with nearly none of the carbs and with a couple of eggs on top, and with some bacon or sausage, this makes a terrific power-punched breakfast or in my case, dinner.  After these keto loaded red radishes I will be done with red radish recipes, at least for awhile, and I am hoping you can see by now that they make a great, versatile potato substitute.

The only thing I can think of that they are no so good for is mashing.  They look like some kind of pink applesauce with salt, pepper, and butter.  Tasted great but it’s kind of hard to get past the look and your kids;  would probable think they were pretty nifty.

Keto Smashed Red Radishes

Leave a reply

Smashed Red RadishesSmashed Red RadishesSmashed Red RadishesKeto Smashed Red Radishes.  Man are these good.  I had eaten at The Country Cat here in Portland and ordered the bacon duck meatloaf that came with onion, mushrooms & smashed potatoes.  Sadly, I gave them to a friend because I don’t eat potatoes but when I got home I thought they might be the perfect thing to do with red radishes.  Interestingly, I had done a couple of plain ole sous-vide eggs as a test and they were so good I was going to have them again with a sausage and some sautéed cauliflower rice. Oops, and plans changed.  I had some leftover meatloaf and also some of the house made restaurant sausage with a cheese spread we had ordered so what you see in the bowl are my leftovers, keto smashed red radishes, more of those unbelievable sous-vide eggs and wow, what a mélange of food flavors.

The smashed red radishes were supposed to be the star of the show, and they are, but the whole combo of foods was an absolute knockout. If you ever get to Portland, Oregon The Country Cat is what I would call “A Best Of PDX Restaurant”.  The chef owners Adam and Jackie Sappington have been featured on many of the foodie TV shows and are killer when it comes to butchering their own pork.  Anyway…

I will be making more of these in the very near future and the next time will be not only with mushrooms and onions but I will be topping them with cheese, bacon, sour cream, and green onions and calling them “loaded” so-the last sentence is just a heads-up.  Put a couple eggs on top, a side of bacon or sausage, and have at it for breakfast.

Keto Sticky Toffee Pudding

Leave a reply

Keto Sticky Toffee PuddingKeto Sticky Toffee PuddingKeto Sticky Toffee PuddingKeto Sticky Toffee Pudding.  Not sure how this recipe came about but I had been thinking about a sticky toffee pudding cake I used to make for a restaurant I worked in.  I used to tell people who ordered it for the first time that it would be free if…they could guess the sweetening ingredient in it.  I never did have to give a free piece away although I did hear some pretty funny answers.  Now if I had been in England I’d have lost every time as it is a favorite dessert there, on the menu in many a pub, and made with dates-lots and lots of dates.  I have to say it was disgustingly good but oh, the carb counts, they must have been horrendous and I have seen anywhere from between 66g and 80g.  So this is my rendition of a keto sticky toffee pudding and I think you will find it quite easy to make but most of all…you will love it.

Notes
  1. This is a very dense, rich dessert and I would suggest you not eat a very large piece to begin with. I personally would (and did) cut it into 12 pieces and if you need more-have another piece. It may take a while but after dinner and a piece of this pudding it will hit you and could make you feel very full.
  2. CAVEAT: I use the ingredients that I feel are the best available, for me personally. If you decide to make this (and I sure hope you do) I am unable to vouch for substitute sweeteners. I have multiple reasons for NOT using eryritol with or without oligosaccharides, food grade glycerin, or anything with probiotic tapioca fiber. None of them are as low in carbs as you may have been lead to believe.
  3. I do occasionally used EZ-Sweetz liquid Sucralose as it adds a different depth of sweetness rather than leaving something one dimensional and neither of the products used here have any carbs in them no matter how much you use. None of the above mentioned can begin to say that which is why you see a nutritional label for 1 t or God forbid ½ t.

Maybe better known as Poke (poh-kay) but this one is molded instead of served in a bowl.  Wouldn’t you figure that if I ate Carpaccio and Steak Tartare that I would also eat raw ahi tuna?  Well, that would be me and uh, millions of other people.  A very simple dish to make and this is an elegant presentation whether served as an appetizer or main course and I personally ate mine as my main dinner.  Sometimes all you need is a little nudge to try something new and I am here to give you that little nudge and to try some keto ahi tuna tartare.

Keto Red Radish Potato Salad

Leave a reply

Red Radish Potato SaladRed Radish Potato SaladKeto Red Radish Potato Salad.  No, and not made with any potatoes but you will never, ever know.  It looks like potato salad, it tastes like potato salad but…it has no potatoes-go figure.  The first “potato” salad recipe I put up was made with daikon radish but this is easier in that it does not take as long to cook red radishes and…it really does look like it was made with little red potatoes.  It’s summer now, lots of people are cooking out and picnicking, so this dandy little number is perfect timing.  Good with hamburgers, hot dogs, Fried Chicken, and the sky’s the limits.

For those of you who see that little bottle of Spike in the picture?  It is divine in this keto red radish potato salad, can be found in nearly all grocery stores and if you make egg salad it is the perfect blend of spices to add.  I listed salt below but if you have Spike I would use it~and do.

  1. This should be part of any picnicking venture you may undertake during the summer although, I will say it is good anytime.
  2. I want to say that I made this with red radishes for the authentic look but if you don't care about the redish look, daikon radishes are much less expensive and will taste EXACTLY the same.

Keto Black Seed Red Radishes

Leave a reply

Keto Black Seed Red RadishesKeto Black Seed Red RadishesKeto Black Seed Red Radishes. Who’d a thunk something so simple to make could taste so good.  This was originally a dish made with potatoes and probably came from India.  Please don’t confuse black seeds with black sesame seeds because there is a world of difference and as you might imagine, with a little ginger and turmeric thrown in, tastes a bit like curry, (not really) but with no coconut milk.

Keto Black Seed Red RadishesKeto Black Seed Red RadishesIn most health discussions regarding black seeds (Nigella Sativa) you will see it being used as an oil but for our purposes we are using the whole seeds.  Besides being healthy, their taste is incredible.  They are used all over the Middle East and Africa and I have to say I am in love with the taste and sprinkle them prodigiously on all kinds of dishes. Notice how different they look from black sesame seeds, they are smaller, and have rather sharp, pointed angles.  Here are a couple of recipe pics showing how I use them. The first is an African Peanut Soup and the second is a Keto Lemon Tahini Mint Salad Dressing.  Keto black seed red radishes for a completely different and fabulously tasting vegetable side dish.

Keto Asian Onion Relish

Leave a reply

Keto Asian Onion RelishKeto Asian Onion RelishKeto Asian Onion Relish. If you like onions this is heavenly.  Not something you eat a ton of at any given time, but it goes really well as a side dish to a lot of meats and particularly  well with Crispy Pork Belly.  It is very easy and made in about 10 minutes at most.  It should be refrigerated for 2-3 hours but that doesn’t count in any prep time. You can make it in the morning and have it ready for dinner.  The Asians seem to have a gift for making foods that are sweet, sour, bitter and salty with a little umami thrown in and this has it all.  Anytime you are using even a little soy sauce you are going to get umami and as I said, keto Asian onion relish has it all.  I had already named this as keto before I realized it was not.  It is actually low carb but the actual fat content percentage is only 35% just so you know.

Notes
  1. For as little sesame oil as most recipes call for please, make sure it is 100% sesame oil and not mixed with some other seed oils which is definitely not cool.
  2. This is a pretty spicy little number but if you want even more add more red pepper flakes as appropriate.
  3. If you don't already have a good sesame oil then by all means please use olive oil instead. It will not have the intense flavor of sesame but it is pretty danged good and the idea is that it is an onion relish and the flavor of onions will come through loud and clear.

Keto Dilled Red Radishes

Leave a reply

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 Mushroom GrilladesKeto Mushroom GrilladesKeto Mushroom Grillades

Keto Mushroom Grillades. Somewhere on this huge site I have a recipe for Low Carb Grillades Over Cheesy Cauliflower Grits and for this recipe I have subbed mushrooms for the beef.  Despite the list of ingredients, it is very easy to make, and is a terrific side dish to just about any meal. (Or meat).  I have not listed it with the cheesy cauliflower grits but if you want them, then by all means use them for a great meatless meal.  I most often eat a meat of some sort with dinner but that is totally up to you.  I consider cremini and portobello mushrooms as a good stand-in for meat so…please, use your own best judgment.  Speaking of meat (who me)?  If you don’t think a good steak (or chicken or pork) nestled on top of these keto mushroom grillades isn’t good~please, think again.  Be sure you get “fresh” creminis. The ones I bought were particularly small but as it turns out were the perfect size for the dish.  If they are “open” and the gills are black, they are well past any prime-time playing.  I guarantee that you don’t want to clean out the gills and you might as well buy portobellos.

Keto Rum Sticky Buns

Keto Rum Sticky BunsKeto Rum Sticky BunsKeto Rum Sticky BunsKeto Rum Sticky BunsMini Keto Rum Sticky BunsMini Keto Rum Sticky BunsMini Keto Rum Sticky BunsKeto Rum Sticky Buns. You know, it has been many years (10 and counting) that I have been making keto~lowcarb foods for myself (and you of course) and many times it just takes the time to actually make and post a recipe.  That is not the case here.  Posting a recipe involves many steps~It is not just making it and until I got the perfect Keto Rum Caramel Sauce that would work for these keto rum sticky buns, I couldn’t make them.  Well, I have that perfect caramel sauce now so it’s katy-bar-the-door and these are spot, spot on.  I posted a recipe for Cinnamon Walnut Rolls in February of 2014 where I talked about rich rum sticky buns so you can see that it has taken me over 5 years to come up with what I call (at least for myself), the perfect keto rum sticky buns and all I can say is they are beyond fabulous.  There are probably infinitely more new desserts I could do with the sauce but when you feel you have reached the top, and this is it for me, I think maybe I should just stop. Please DO NOT be intimidated by the list of ingredients as these buns are really pretty easy to make.

Because they are indeed so rich I am doing the recipe for either 8 buns, 9 buns, and a smaller 16 count bun for smaller eaters (that be me).  The caramel sauce is actually a fatbomb with zero carbs so put that in your pipe and smoke it and there are other things you can do with it like make Keto Pecan Pralines, use it as a dip for apples and…anything else that may come to your mind. The recipe for the caramel topping below is exactly ½ the Rum Caramel Sauce and my suggestion would be to make the whole recipe since you already know you can make a ½ recipe of the Pecan Pralines with left over sauce.  Lastly, I would like to say that these are a LOT EASIER than the recipe indicates and once you’ve made these keto rum sticky buns just once, you will understand what I am saying. They are not much more work intensive than any other cinnamon roll~they are just better.

Rich Rum Sticky Buns
Print
Caramel Topping
  1. ¼ C Butter
  2. ¼ C Heavy Cream
  3. 2 T Sugarfree Maple Syrup***
  4. 1 T Rum
  5. ½ t Vanilla Extract
  6. ½ C Allulose***
  7. ___
  8. ⅔ C Un-Toasted Pecans (To Be Used Later)
  9. ½ t Butter (To Be Used Later)
Nut Filling
  1. ½ C Pecans
  2. ⅓ C Allulose***
  3. 1½ t Cinnamon
  4. ___
  5. ¼ C Soft Butter (To Be Used Later)
Dough
  1. 1½ C Carbalose Flour***
  2. 2 T Coconut Flour
  3. 2 T Gluten
  4. ½ t Salt
  5. ⅛ t Guar Gum
  6. ⅛ t Xanthan Gum
  7. 2 T Golden Flaxseed Meal
  8. 2 T Warm Water
  9. 1 Large Beaten Egg (Reserve 1 T)
  10. 2 T Heavy Cream
  11. 2 T Barely Melted Butter
  12. 12 Drops Liquid Sucralose***
  13. ⅓ C Warm Water + More As/If Needed 1 T At A Time
  14. 1½ T Yeast
  15. ½ t Sugar
  16. 1 t Orange Extract (This Is An Important Essential Ingredient)
Caramel Topping
  1. This can be made a day or two in advance (for times sake). Be sure to hide it in the fridge or someone will get into it. Bring to room temperature & heat slightly the day of final assembly.
  2. In a small sauce pan barely, and I mean barely, melt butter, take off heat, add heavy cream, syrup, rum, vanilla, and Allulose. Begin mixing until all is incorporated.
  3. Bring to very slow simmer, stirring occasionally and cook for about 16-18 minutes. It will begin to darken and get a little thicker. The idea is to have a very slow overall bubbling for the total cooking period.
  4. Cool completely.
  5. Refrigerate if not using until the following day. When ready to use bring to room temp.
Nut Filling
  1. Put pecans, cinnamon, and sweetener in small processor and grind until nuts are finely ground. Set aside. This can also be done a day or two ahead of assembly and trust me, it’s easier. I do mine the night before.
Bun Dough
  1. Put first 6 ingredients in processor.
  2. Add 2 T warm water to flaxseed meal for 10 minutes, add to dry ingredients and pulse to mix.
  3. Bloom yeast with sugar in warm water for 10 minutes.
  4. Add Sucralose, orange extract, and melted butter to top of bloomed yeast.
  5. Beat egg, being sure to reserve 1 T and then add cream.
  6. Add egg mixture to bloomed yeast mixture.
  7. Start processor, add liquids, and process for 1-2 minutes or so.
  8. If needed, add more water 1-2 T at a time.
  9. Carbalose flour is not sticky but eggs are so this time your dough might be a little sticky to begin with and as you are forming the rectangle to put into your pan it will then end up pretty much non-sticky. It's kind of like magic.
  10. Since you will be rolling this into a rectangle, place dough in a small bread pan, cover with film and let rise about 10-15 minutes.
Final Assembly
  1. Preheat oven to 350°.
  2. Begin bringing caramel sauce to room temperature.
  3. As lightly as is possible grease pan with ½ t butter. Evenly distribute ⅔ C un-toasted pecans (they will get roasty-toasty in the oven). Butter is to hold the pecans in place more than anything else as the buns will slip out with no help after baking.
  4. Invert dough onto bench floured countertop (or your trusty Silpat is perfect) and roll about 9” wide (for 8 rolls) or 10” wide (for 9 rolls) wide and about 14”-16" long. I basically cover my Silpat.
  5. Brush reserved egg wash 1” around the perimeter of dough.
  6. Spread ¼ C butter on dough, (if you have a small off-set spatula this works perfectly) this time leaving it about ½” around perimeter. Don’t cover all the egg wash as this is your “glue”.
  7. Sprinkle nut filling evenly on butter and roll making sure the bottom is tightly glued.
  8. Again, if you use a Silpat you will not need any bench flour.
  9. Take log roll off Silpat onto a cutting surface and with seam down, gently slice log into 8 or 9 buns about 1” wide.
  10. Place cut buns evenly in pan over pecans if using an 10"pie dish and for 9 buns put them 3 to a row in 3 rows in an 8"x8" square pan.
  11. Cover and allow to rise for 15-20 minutes.
  12. Place buns in oven for 30 minutes.
  13. Invert onto serving dish and now the pecans will be on top.
  14. Allow to cool for 14-16 minutes.
  15. Dot each bun with about 1 T caramel sauce, allow to melt slightly, spread completely, and they are ready to serve. If you have made and cooled your sauce while the buns are baking, you should be able to just drizzle it all over warm buns.

Notes
  1. CAVEAT: I use the ingredients that I feel are the best available, for me personally. If you decide to make this (and I sure hope you do) I am unable to vouch for substitute sweeteners. I have multiple reasons for NOT using eryritol with or without oligosaccharides, food grade glycerin, or anything with probiotic tapioca fiber. None of them are as low in carbs as you may have been lead to believe.
  2. I do occasionally used EZ-Sweetz liquid Sucralose as it adds a different depth of sweetness rather than leaving something one dimensional and neither of the products used here have any carbs in them no matter how much you use. None of the above mentioned can begin to say that which is why you see a nutritional label for 1 t or God forbid ½ t.
  3. Nutritionals include all ingredients and I have given them for 8 buns and 9 buns, depending on the size and shape pan (10" round pie dish or an 8"x8" square pan) you may wish to use.
  4. You may have a bit of caramel topping leftover so...you can use it on lowcarb ice cream, throw in more pecans and make a few pralines or um, get out a spoon and have at it.
  5. Now I hear tell that bacon, caramel and pecans are terrific together so if you want to add a few bacon bits to the top of your buns, by all means, do it.
  6. Yes, they freeze beautifully but if you have a family, they won't make it to any freezer.

Keto Blue Cheese Pork

Leave a reply

Keto Blue Cheese PorkKeto Blue Cheese PorkKeto Blue Cheese Pork.  One of things I have learned over the years is that pork tenderloin is one terrific piece of meat and it is also often one of the most overcooked meats.  Now you can certainly eat pork the way you want to, but this keto blue cheese pork is an attempt to change your mind about overdone pork leather.  Any meat without much fat is going to cook quickly and pork tenderloin, as well as beef tenderloin, are perfect examples.  They have nearly no fat in which to bathe the meat so when overcooked it turns to…  Why do you so often see bacon wrapped beef tenderloin in a restaurant?  It’s to keep the meat, at least partially, surrounded by fat which is OK I guess but only if you like the flavor of bacon with steak which I do not.  Bacon is bacon and steak is steak.

“Pork, on the other hand, is cool. Farmers stopped feeding garbage to pigs decades ago, and even if you eat pork rare you’re more likely to win the Lotto than to contract trichinosis”. As said by the late great Anthony Bourdain.  As you can see, he advocated for underdone pork too.

That said, this is an extremely easy recipe assuming you have a good quality melty blue cheese and heavy whipping cream.  I personally think a large pork tenderloin will feed no more than 2-3 people so you may need to do a little adjustment here.  They have a tail which dwindles to nothing usable and for this recipe (excepting for children)  best to freeze the tail, use it in another recipe and buy a second tenderloin. Uh, that’s just my opinion.

If you prefer the flavors of Italy then my recipe for Italian Dipping Herbs works very well here too.  I ALWAYS have this herb combo on hand because I use it A LOT of it on pork chops covered in crushed garlic let alone its many other uses.

Blue Cheese Pork
Print
Ingredients
  1. 1½ Lbs or One Large Pork Tenderloin Room Temperature
  2. ¾ C Heavy Cream
  3. ¼ t Thyme
  4. ¼ t Sage
  5. ¼ t Cumin
  6. ⅛ t Chipotle Powder
  7. 1½ t Chicken Base***
  8. 1 T Butter
  9. 3 Oz Meltable Blue Cheese Crumbles
  10. ¼ C Minced Green Onions (Garnish)
Instructions
  1. Cut room temperature pork tenderloin into approximately 12-¾” 2 oz. medallions.
  2. Crumble blue cheese.
  3. Add heavy cream to medium sauce pan set on medium low, add thyme, sage, cumin, chipotle powder, and chicken base, & reduce to desired thickness.
  4. In separate large sauté pan, on medium-high heat, add butter & get to very brown.
  5. Add room temperature pork medallions, sauté no more than 1½ minutes, turn, and cook no more than 1½ minutes longer. (You may need to do this in two batches as you need to maintain the high heat in order not to end up "stewing" your meat.
  6. Plate medallions, top immediately with blue cheese and then dab with sauce.
  7. Garnish with green onions.
  8. 4 Servings
  9. 650 Calories, 56.2g Protein, 43.0g Fat, 1.0g Carbs, 0.2g Fiber, 0.8g Net Carbs
Notes
  1. Optional cooking method and better yet, cook the tenderloin whole in a sauté pan, then proceed. This is actually what I do even for myself and with lots less chance of over cooking it.
  2. If you opt for doing it this way, sear on all four sides for about 3-4 minutes per side, put on counter to “rest” while making your sauce.
  3. No oven cooking needed but...if you can't eat it any other way but well done, then you can stick it into a 350° for 7-8 minutes.
