Low Carb Asian Oyster SauceLow Carb Asian Oyster SauceLow Carb Asian Oyster SauceLow Carb Asian Oyster SauceKeto Asian Oyster Sauce. There is not much to not love about almost any Asian Sauce and this keto Asian oyster sauce is no different except for one thing, it is virtually sugar-free and you will not notice any difference.  I was not going for sweet, I was going for Umami and this is it in spades. Umami sort of captures all the flavors in one.  This Asian Oyster Sauce will either go with meats, fish or vegetables and is ridiculously easy to prepare-2-3 minutes at the most but oh, the flavor.  The three pictures are all with a whole pork tenderloin, pulled pork, and Thai sausages but as I said it literally goes with just about anything.  That small amount of sauce is for 2 people but the recipe is for 4 and can easily be doubled. They say dynamite comes in small packages so don’t let the small amount of sauce fool you as it has enough flavor to practically coat the planet.  Not really, but I hope you get the idea.  I pound my tenderloins to about ¾”, saute it in a tiny amount of fat, until medium rare, slicing it on the bias and getting 8 nice medallions.

A lot of people question whether Oyster Sauce is keto and I say:  “At least for me it is and certainly in the amount used here.  Come one please, if you feel 2 t of oyster sauce (in a sauce for 4 people) with a fat content of 97% and 0.3g carbs is high then you might better be eating nothing.

I have recently found a(nother) terrific Asian market here in Portland going by the name Lily’s.  It has been owned by the same family for 35 years and it shows by the way it is being taken care of.  Everyone of the owners in interested in making sure you find what you need and in my case a lot more stuff that I didn’t even know I wanted.  I went in looking for a particular brand of oyster sauce to replace the one I have had forever and the woman took me to the oyster sauces and picked up the one I was looking for, telling me it was the best.  Interestingly, oyster sauce is used sparingly like ½-1-2 t at a time so it lasts a very long time and you will need it for this recipe. Now, if you have fish sauce and not oyster sauce then you can sub it but rest assured they are not one & the same.  If I had my choice between the two I would hands down pick oyster sauce.

I’m thinking this might make a terrific & simple coleslaw with maybe some black seeds.

Low Carb Kokkari Dressing

Low Carb Kokkari DressingLow Carb Kokkari DressingLow Carb Kokkari DressingLow Carb Kokkari Dressing.  I was on the internet looking for some other sauce to go with all the rack of lamb I eat, other than my own Mint Sauce, and came across this Kokkari Dressing which sounded pretty good.  I would never be without lamb in some form so I decided to try it as I found it.  It was as good as it sounded.  I also eat, from time to time, a ½ lb. ground lamb patty and it was fabulous on it too.  I did tweak a couple things from the original Kokkari Dresssing recipe and you can (compare the two). Since the recipe seems a bit  obscure I thought I would put it out there for you.  Oops, I did change a couple things since I have never used, and didn’t even know what it was, and that’s the wild Greek oregano-I just used regular ole oregano. Added a bit of dried mint because…I think mint and lamb are a match made in heaven. Apparently, this dressing not only sets off lamb, but also beef, chicken and fish.  I think I would call this a kind of a do everything sauce and I’m sure I will eventually try it on all the above mentioned and when I do I’ll try to put up pictures.  There is certainly no doubt that a small side of Greek Tzatziki would be a great accompaniment.

Low Carb Dijon Rosemary Garlic Glaze

Leave a reply

Low Carb Dijon Rosemary Garlic GlazeLow Carb Dijon Rosemary Garlic GlazeLow Carb Dijon Rosemary Garlic GlazeLow Carb Dijon Rosemary Garlic GlazeLow Carb Dijon Rosemary Garlic Glaze is a match made in heaven and is perfect with pork tenderloin or a big fat chop. It takes about one minute to make and has one of the most powerful punched flavors we know…garlic.  Cooked inside a tenderloin, it loses a bit of its power but used this way, as a topping the garlic loses nothing.  If you prefer it cooked then please do try the Pork Tenderloin/Dijon Garlic Rosemary Glaze, it is divine.  You are going to have to get past the glaze’s homely looks cause it’s not the looks that taste good.  The final plate?  Ooh la la.

That beautiful little tenderloin?  I get them three at a time from the Old Salt Market butcher shop just down the street from me and yes, this is the way they come trimmed; I don’t have to do a thing.  They do three half pigs every week and all I need to do is order all three tenderloins a couple of days in advance and yes, they do know me.  They are so good and so tender I just pound them a bit, and flash fry them dry, in a pan, add browned butter, and top with the glaze.  Yes, I do eat my pork medium rare and you will cook yours the way you like them.

Yes, I am going to again serve it with a tenderloin but with the sauce dabbed on the top as I really do like raw garlic…sometimes.

Low Carb Avocado Cilantro Cream

Leave a reply

Low Carb Avocado Cilantro CreamLow Carb Avocado Cilantro CreamLow Carb Avocado Cilantro CreamLow Carb Avocado Cilantro Cream is probably good with all kinds of other foods but for our purposes we are going to use it to dress Fried Oysters.  The oysters recipe is new and of course goes perfectly with Remoulade and I hope you will try them this way too as it is so good.  Just a couple other recipes it would be good with are Fish Tostadas On Cheese Crisps  and Seafood Cerviche. You can easily use Crème Fraîche in place of the sour cream here but again sour cream is going to be easy and for so little more effort you can have a lovely light low carb avocado cilantro cream.

  1. Probably the easiest way to make this is to put all ingredients into a processor but I do it a bit differently.
  2. I use my stick blender because it makes the creamiest avocado ever and to me it is also the easiest way.
  3. Since you are putting this on delicate fried oysters you don't want chunky avocado.
  4. This is the same way I make guacamole but leaving out the tomatoes and green onions and then blending them in with a little salt.

Low Carb Mint Sauce

Leave a reply

Low Carb Mint SauceLow Carb Mint Sauce. I think probably just about everyone has had the (not so fabulous anymore) Cross & Blackwell Mint Jelly at some point or another and my Mint Sauce is a terrific facsimile.  No, it is not bright (fake) green and smooth like C&B and it isn’t made with sugary mint “flavored” “apple jelly” but taste wise, it is pretty close.  If you decide to use fresh mint (spearmint) then you will use about 3-4x the dried mint listed below in the recipe.  I have newly found a fabulous source for dried mint from a Middle Eastern market here in Portland and of course if you have access then by all means get it.  Until making my Mid-East market find, I used Spice Hunter very successfully but this new mint is not only greener, it is also more finely ground, (I now grind the mint leaves in a spice grinder) thus more Surface Area, thus a more intense flavor.  The picture to the left above is the new mint and in the picture below I was using my old mint. The chops were served with Dilled Daikon Radish and would also pair quite well with Cauliflower Tabbouleh (not pictured).

Low Carb Mint Sauce

Low Carb Mint Sauce couldn’t be any more simple & should be ready in about 5-6 minutes start to finish.  It can also be made more or less sweet according to your taste buds.

Confession:  I cut my chops with a knife & fork BUT…I use a spoon to dip each bite into the mint sauce, eating all of it and yes…it’s that good.

  3. Refrigerated mint sauce will far outlive your ability to not eat it.

Keto Maggi Mayo

Leave a reply

Low Carb Maggi MayoLow Carb Maggi MayoKeto Maggi Mayo.  I know, it’s a play on the old Rod Stewart song but the name is so apropos.  As its name implies, it is made with mayonnaise and Maggi seasoning sauce.  Now who has a jar of Maggi in their pantry?  Um, I do. If and after you are to acquire it you will find many other uses for it.  As a seasoning a little goes a long way and you can make as much or as little as needed.  I use this mayo in the Banh Mi Sandwich.  It can be slathered on a bun-less hamburger and the Maggi sauce, in small amounts by itself, can be used in soups & stews.  I’m pretty sure you will find lots of uses for keto maggi mayo.

Here are some interesting facts about Maggi:  1.)  It is sold in a dark brown bottle with a yellow label. The colour of the bottle cap changes from country to country: a red cap is used in Switzerland, Germany, Canada and France; a yellow cap is used in China and the Netherlands. Most Americans see the yellow cap.  I don’t begin to remember where I got mine but notice it has a red cap and lucky me.  2.)  Maggi is a dark, strong, concentrated seasoning sauce, that is produced commercially and sold in bottles and 3.)  It is a thin sauce, with the consistency of soy or Worcestershire, which it looks like but definitely doesn’t taste like.  Well, who knew?  Just took a good look at my bottle and apparently I bought it at Pacific Market here in Portland which specializes in Asian foods.  As I said I don’t remember buying it but I would easily have gone there just to look and how ridiculous and since when would I go into any market just to look?  If you enlarge the picture it says:  Imported From Europe.

It takes very little Maggi seasoning for use in anything and that’s also the case here but my oh my the umami flavor is so good.  The only other thing that comes close is Porcini Dust which I use in lots of recipes.  I’m feeling long-winded and wait till you see the actual recipe.  If nothing else, it should make you laugh at its brevity.

Low Carb Chipotle Mayonnaise

Leave a reply

Low Carb Chipotle MayonnaiseLow Carb Chipotle Mayonnaise. Yeah, Yeah, I know there are several recipes similar to this low carb chipotle mayo & after reading the ingredients list I hope you will think it sounds good enough to make.   I love this stuff as it is good on/with so many things and certainly a requirement for Bacon Wrapped Mean Dogs. low carb chipotle mayonnaise can be used as a vegetable dip and is especially good with fried pork skins.  There is no mayonnaise only sour cream and actually, I used Crème Fraîche in mine.  I like that smooth special twang it gives.  Many years ago at a food show in Seattle, there was this new product being sampled called Chipotle Mayo and was available by the gallon to restaurants.  I thought it was so good that I designed a pulled pork sandwich around using it and gads, people loved it.  There was also a restaurant in Everett, WA called Alligator Soul and they also served this same chipotle mayo with many of their dishes.  Turns out it was the restaurant’s recipe licensed and being sold to other restaurants.  At the time I had never had anything so tasty and have been chasing the recipe ever since (and that’s another story).  To the right is a picture of a small still unopened jar I have that is probably at least 9-10 years old.  Hard to believe I still have that jar today and of course it would be totally inedible.  The restaurant closed in 2010 but I listened to a lot of live zydeco music and ate a lot of good Cajun “soul food” there before it did.

  4. 1 T Lime Juice
  5. ½ t Crushed Garlic
  6. ¼ t Liquid Smoke
  7. 1-2 Drops Liquid Splenda (Optional)
Instructions
  1. Macerate chipotle peppers.
  2. Add rest of ingredients, mix well, and refrigerate.

  5. 165 Calories, .1g Protein, 18.1g Fat, .6g Carbs, .0g Fiber, .6g Net Carbs
Notes
  1. Splenda not only gives it a kiss of sweetness, but also rounds out the flavor. It is not necessary and yes, I did use it. Use 1 drop to start and another if you think it needs it.
  2. As I said I used crème fraîche to make mine and sour cream would have a bit more carbs.
  3. With the addition of crumbled bacon this makes a great salad dressing.
  4. Also terrific on pulled pork.

Keto Italian Dipping Herbs

Leave a reply

Low Carb Italian Dipping OilLow Carb Italian Dipping OilLow Carb Italian Dipping OilKeto Italian Dipping HerbsKeto Italian Dipping Herbs are kind of hard to show a picture of since it’s just a bunch of herbs all mixed together in olive oil but this is so good on so many things.  Its original intended use was as a dip for breads. Obviously if you use Carbalose Flour Bread great, and I use this oil on all kinds of vegetables. I love it on broccolini, mung bean sprouts, and Cauliflower Grits.  Most often when used with bread, it also calls for the use of Parmesan cheese but since you will most likely be using it with vegetables then the obvious thing to do is to use that Parmesan on the vegetables too and it’s what I do.  How many ways can you think to use it?  How about Italian Parmesan Garlic Wings or Ham & Cheese Pinwheels and maybe even some Carbalose Italian Parmesan Garlic Knots. Keto Italian Dipping Herbs are truly good on just about anything. I use these herbs in so many ways that I actually make double the recipe below. They are the same herbs I use for anything Italian.

  3. 36 Servings
  4. 121 Calories, .1g Protein, 13.5g Fat, .2g Carbs, .0g Fiber, .2g Net Carbs
Notes
  1. You WILL NOT use all of this at once as the recipe makes quite a bit. (About 9 times for 4 servings) Just save dried herbs and spices in a small jar and when you want them, you have them.
  2. If you want to test before making the full recipe (you'll be sorry) use 1 t of each herb and ½ t each salt & pepper with a pinch of red pepper flakes
  3. Makes a great salad dressing.
  4. Lots of fat and nearly zero carbs.
  5. The serving sizes are approximate. Some may dip more and some may dip less.
  6. This is a very garlicky dip so enjoy it with good friends.
  7. I would suggest making a batch of this ahead of time to let all the herbs soften and flavors marry. I just leave mine on the counter until it's gone. No need to refrigerate.
  8. When I make just the dry herb mixture I actually triple the recipe. As I said I use a LOT of this so I ALWAYS have it on my countertop at the ready.

Keto Creme Fraiche

Keto Creme Fraiche.  I would bet my bottom dollar you have seen this as an ingredient for many recipes and the recipe usually caveats it with “you can use sour cream as a substitute”.  If you have been guilty of this, um yeah, me too.  If you tested crème fraîche and sour cream side by side you would see, but more importantly taste, the difference immediately. Without any sugar what-so-ever crème fraîche tastes a bit sweet with a little tang thrown in.  Sour cream is not sweet in any way nor does it give the same mouth feel as that of crème fraîche which is made with heavy cream.   Honestly I didn’t make crème fraîche for years but I started making and eating it awhile ago and now of course I pretty much have it in the refrigerator all the time.  This may sound like a sickness to you but I can and do eat this stuff by the spoonfuls…all at once.  I think when you see how easy keto creme fraiche is, you will make, use, and keep it in your own fridge. Here is one recipe using it Stuffed Strawberry Cream Cheese French Toast, here is another Fish Tostadas On Cheese Crisps and as I get others posted I will list them here.  Best thing of all-crème fraîche clocks in at nearly zero carbs.  Yes, high fat but no carbs. Keto Creme Fraiche can be substituted in any recipe imaginable that uses sour cream. Think Beef Stroganoff.  Because of the simplicity of this recipe I double it and can barely keep it in the refrigerator and yes, I have been know to eat it with a spoon uh, like in the picture. That little red bowl of goodness went straight into my mouth as my dessert and as you can see, it is easy to strain (optional) which will give an even stiffer product. One of the best things about Keto Creme Fraiche is that unlike sour cream, it will not curdle when heated nor separate when lemon juice or vinegar are added. If by some chance creme fraiche doesn’t trip your trigger there is this fabulous Keto Yogurt also made with 40% heavy cream.

Oh, I almost forgot.  What to do with the buttermilk you always seem to have leftover?  Freeze it in an ice cube tray and you’ll never run out or not have it again.  Un-mold the cubes, put ’em in a bag and they are ready for use when you need them.  Take a bigger look at this picture and notice the 3.5% butterfat.  This is not your normal anemic, thin, bluish 1% buttermilk and taste, gads it tastes like a creamy, smooth, tangy kefir. Kefir has been described as crème fraîche in a drink.

I am updating and adding another recipe for those of you (like me) who use pasteurized or ultra-pasteurized heavy cream. If you are lucky enough to get unpasteurized cream then use the second recipe-for the rest of you-use the first recipe.  It has to do with the different culturing bacteria used in yogurt, buttermilk, and sour cream and trust me, it makes a huge difference in the thickness or viscosity of your crème fraîche. It seems more and more companies are going to ultra-pasteurized creams because of the much longer shelf life but…ultra pasteurization not only kills potentially harmful bacteria it also damages all of the vitamins, minerals and other nutrients originally contained in the milk. It also kills the healthy enzymes which help your body digest the milk.

I absolutely love crème fraîche on strawberries.  The top two pictures are the newer recipe #1 made with ultra-pasteurized 40% heavy cream and you can see how much thicker it is with the additional cultures of yogurt and sour cream.  Tiny amounts-huge difference.

Keto Tomato Basil Cream

Low Carb Tomato Basil CreamThis Keto Tomato Basil Cream is not an original recipe by anyone’s stretch of the imagination but it can be so good on lots of things I thought I would just list it as a sauce instead of with any particular food.  In the picture there is a gorgeous hunk of fresh Pacific Coast Coho salmon underneath but you can use this with spaghetti squash, shrimp, and other types of fish as well.

Keto Huli BBQ Sauce

Low Carb Huli BBQ SauceLow Carb Huli BBQ SauceKeto Huli BBQ Sauce. I use this lovely, garlicky sauce in the Huli Huli Chicken recipe but it is far more versatile than just on chicken.  It is also fabulous on baby back ribs and Pulled Pork, pulled chicken, and as a dipping sauce for Bacon Wrapped Shrimp.  This keto carb huli BBQ sauce in definitely one of my favorites recipes.

Low Carb Smoky Sweet And Sour Dipping Sauce

Low Carb Smoky Sweet And Sour Dipping SauceLow Carb Smoky Sweet And Sour Dipping Sauce. Who couldn’t love this dipping sauce to dab meaty snacks into?  Well, I do do and this is perfect for any game day and ideal for chicken wings, Bacon Wrapped Shrimp or bacon wrapped chicken bites. Pictured is the sauce with both and since I had some leftover, I had it with Pulled Pork a couple nights later.  Served with Coleslaw or one of the many other Salad Recipes on this site & it’s dinner done. Don’t you just love my new acacia wood bowl.
