Keto Mississippi Comeback Sauce. Makes a great vegetable dipping sauce, a terrific salad dressing and if you eat sandwiches it is especially good on an Open-Faced Rueben Sandwich.  I bet once you have eaten this you will “comeback” with your own ways to use it. The recipe is easily doubled and lasts forever, and I’m guessing it won’t. (Last Forever) Keto Mississippi comeback sauce, in many cases, can be used as a substitute for mayo.

Keto Sauce Béarnaise

Keto Sauce BéarnaiseKeto Sauce BéarnaiseKeto Sauce BéarnaiseKeto Sauce BéarnaiseKeto Sauce Béarnaise. In the summer of 1972 in East Lansing, MI I had the opportunity to live in a house with 5 HRI (hotel, restaurant, & institutional management) students and I jumped at it.  It was the responsibility of each of us, one day a week, to shop with $10.00, prepare a meal for 6, and all sit down together to eat.  Talk about the good ole days-can you imagine feeding 6 college students on $10/day now?  Someone made this recipe and I have been making it ever since.  My only tweak has been the addition of the tarragon vinegar.   The reason I like it is that it is made in a food processor rather than over a double boiler of hot water.  This is so much much easier and pretty much full-proof if your butter is hot enough.  The French make this sauce so much harder and as you can see, I now make it the old fashioned way.

The absolute secret to this particular Keto Sauce Béarnaise is the use of tarragon vinegar.  I do add lemon juice to mine because I often enough serve it with seafood but I find the lemon juice goes with about anything.  Good on a brick but better yet on a good steak or Stuffed Shrimp. Those are NOT potatoes in the two lower pictures. They are either Dilled Red Radishes or Daikon Radish Fries but they sure do act and taste like potatoes.

Sauce Béarnaise
Print
Ingredients
  1. Ingredients
  2. 3 Large Egg Yolks Room Temperature
  3. 2 T White Wine
  4. 1 Stick Butter
  5. 1 Minced Nice Sized Shallot
  6. ¼ C Tarragon Vinegar
  7. ¼ C Water
  8. ½ t Dried Tarragon Leaves
  9. Pinch Cayenne Pepper
  10. ¼ t Tarragon
  11. 2 T Lemon Juice (Optional For When Using Sauce With Seafood)
  12. ¼ t Salt
Directions
  1. Start to slowly clarify butter-if you do it slowly it will not sputter & spatter and as it begins to clarify swirl the saucepan several times.
  2. Mince Shallot, add to vinegar & water, add ½ t tarragon and cayenne pepper and simmer ever so slowly. The idea is the get the minced shallot very soft. If you need more moisture add a bit more vinegar. When this is finished it should have just a little moisture left-maybe a T or so.
  3. Put egg yolks and white wine in small processor & add shallot mixture.
  4. Strain butter to get rid of the little cruddy buttons and immediately begin slowing pouring into running processor. It should thicken toward the end if your butter is hot enough so make sure you take butter from the stove, strain, and begin using immediately. The idea is that the very hot butter will “cook” the yolks and thicken them.
  5. Add lemon juice, (if using) last ¼ t tarragon, salt, and process. Taste and correct seasoning if necessary.

Low Carb BBQ Sauce

Low Carb BBQ SauceLow Carb BBQ Sauce. This is a basic BBQ sauce and anything can be adjusted to suit your tastes.  It tastes pretty good on it’s own but sauces can be so subjective and easy to tweak.

  2. If you like really smoky sauce, add another tsp. of liquid smoke.
  3. If you like it sweet add a drop or two of EZ-Sweetz or use low carb ketchup.
  4. Like lots of onion? Add more. Just remember onions have carbs which is why I grate mine. Grating gets you the most flavor, punch and bang for your buck.
  5. Spicier? Add more Cayenne.
  6. More piquant? Add more chili powder.
  7. Like Worcestershire? Add some.

Low Carb Bacon Wrapped Shrimp

Low Carb Bacon Wrapped ShrimpBacon Wrapped Shrimp

Low Carb Bacon Wrapped Shrimp. When buying shrimp you want to shop the count per pound NOT Small, Medium, Large, or Jumbo.  These terms mean absolutely nothing.  To see more regarding the sizing of shrimp please see SHRIMP under the Food Lagniappes page.

I try to buy U15’s (under 15 per pound) but 16-20 is a pretty good size shrimp for this recipe.

These are terrific dipped in Bleu Cheese Dressing, Remoulade Sauce, or Smoky Sweet & Sour Dipping Sauce as seen above.

Bacon Wrapped Shrimp
Print
Ingredients
  1. 24 Large (12-15) Shelled & Deveined Shrimp/Tail On
  2. 12 Bacon Slices Cut In Half
Directions
  1. This is a Japanese trick and keeps the shrimp from curling. There is a long extremely well developed muscle running the length of the underbelly of a shrimp where the legs are attached and this muscle needs to be severed at each segment.
  2. With sharp pointed scissors cut the underbelly of each shrimp segment about ¼” and if you don’t have scissors, turn the shrimp upside down and with a sharp knife gently cut each segment.
  3. Lay bacon on cutting board vertically and place shrimp at a 45 degree angle. Wrap bacon in a spiral around each shrimp and secure with a toothpick at top.
  4. Heat oil on medium high until very hot and lay shrimp in-frying until bacon is finished. Don’t overcook as bacon will be hard and tough.
  5. Drain and serve with celery sticks and Bleu Cheese Dressing or Remoulade Sauce.

Keto Tartar Sauce

Keto Tartar SauceKeto Tartar SauceKeto Tartar SauceKeto Tartar SauceKeto Tartar Sauce is such a subjective taste for everyone. This keto tartar sauce is an “original” recipe used in a seafood house I once worked in and I have always loved it.  I think the secret is once again, the grated onion.  I have made it keto with the addition of  Sugar Free Mt. Olive Sweet Relish which can be found on the Netrition website.  The original recipe started with 4 gallons of mayo so this is a real cut down.

Keto Rosemary Aioli

Leave a reply

Low Carb Rosemary AioliLow Carb Rosemary AioliThis Keto Rosemary Aioli was part of an appetizer I first served long ago and far away as part of a catered 25th wedding anniversary affair for two people.  The setting was Virginia in August, on a 60 acre farm down by their water spring surrounded by huge beautiful trees.  Now get this; it was a surprise from the husband to his wife.  How cool is that? Formally set table and I even printed fancy menus.

I had eaten the appetizer recipe many times much to my own gustatory delight, but can no longer do so because of the carb content, but the keto rosemary aioli …I have used it ever since.  It is literally good on a brick but probably best served on the side with rack of lamb, a good steak, or prime rib. This recipe is a couple places on the internet but it is so good and I use it so often that I am putting it here.

Low Carb Cranberry Orange Relish

Low Carb Cranberry Orange RelishCranberry Orange RelishThis Low Carb Cranberry Orange Relish is so easy to make it’s pathetic. It is also pathetically good.  With leftovers you can make Cranberry Orange Mousse and Cranberry Orange Cream Cheese Pie. This is not just for Thanksgiving anymore. I buy bags and bags of cranberries and freeze them so we can eat it whenever we want. It is easy enough to cut this recipe in half if you don’t want so much at one time…but you will.

Porcini Dust

Porcini DustPorcini Dust.  I have been making and using Porcini Dust for over 25 years (long before Amazon ever existed) and it is the most ridiculously easy-to-make and best stuff I have ever cooked with.  Restaurant customers had no idea what the flavor was but boy oh boy they sure knew they liked it.  You will need a spice grinder to make it but if you don’t have a grinder you can actually order a 12 oz. jar of it for $18.00 at http://www.amazon.com/Porcini-Powder-12-Jar-Each/dp/B000RHUYC0 and $18.00 seems like a pretty good price to me assuming it is the same quality mushrooms that I use.   I can assure you it will last a long time as you only need a little at a time.  So no recipe card here, just information.

Porcini DustThese are the mushrooms I use and can be purchased at Pistol River Porcini Dust  In fact they have many different dried mushrooms available.  I also use their dried shiitakes and best of all, for me, they are an Oregon company.

This “dust” is used as an ingredient in many of my recipes.
