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 Stir Fried Mung Bean Sprouts

Low Carb Stir Fried Mung Bean SproutsLow Carb Stir Fried Mung Bean Sprouts.  I have recently posted several recipes that include mung bean sprouts but what to do with the leftovers.  Most people let them sit in the refrigerator until they get soggy, slimy and are unusable.  If this has happened to you, you are not alone.  I have several recipe suggestions which may actually have you buying sprouts just to make them. Mung Bean Sprouts Salad and Vietnamese Shrimp Bowl.

Keto Kung Pao Riced Cauliflower

Leave a reply

Low Carb Kung Pao Riced CauliflowerLow Carb Kung Pao Riced CauliflowerKeto Kung Pao Riced Cauliflower. I think I could eat just about anything Asian and Keto Kung Pao Riced Cauliflower does not disappoint. Kung pao chicken is probably one of America’s favorite Chinese recipes and is eaten thousands of times each day in restaurants across the country.  This has all the recipe elements & taste and none of the sugar or starches associated with Kung pao. You will need a recipe of Hoisin Sauce to complete the dish and trust me once you have tried the hoisin sauce you will quickly want to make yourself some Peking Duck or Chinese BBQ Pork Loin as hoisin is absolutely and utterly divine.  You may certainly add a bit more sauce, add chicken or shrimp and make this a complete meal.  Enjoy.

Kung Pao Riced Cauliflower
Print
Ingredients
  1. 1 Medium Head Riced Cauliflower (About 5-6 C)
  2. 4 Slices Bacon Cooked & Crumbled (Reserve Fat)
  3. 2 T Sugar Free Rice Wine Vinegar
  4. 2 T Tamari
  5. 2 T Water
  6. 1 T Cooking Sherry
  7. 1 T Hoisin Sauce
  8. 1 T Allulose
  9. 3 T Olive Oil (Divided)
  10. 2 t Red Pepper Paste + More To Taste
  11. 1 Chopped Jalapeno Pepper
  12. 1 T Chopped Ginger Paste
  13. 2 t Crushed Garlic
  14. ¼ t Red Pepper Flakes
  15. ½ C Finely Sliced Green Onion Tops
  16. ¼ C Crushed Peanuts
  17. Sesame Seeds (Optional)
Instructions
  1. Cook and crumble bacon, reserving the fat. Set aside.
  2. In a small bowl whisk wine vinegar, water, tamari, allulose, cooking sherry, hoisin sauce, ginger, garlic, pepper paste, pepper flakes, jalapeno pepper, 1 t olive oil, and set aside.
  3. In remaining olive oil and reserved bacon fat on medium high heat, sauté cauliflower and red peppers, stirring occasionally, until browned and beginning to soften or about 8-10 minutes. This is like sautéing hash browns. Mix in crumbled bacon and ¼ C green onions.
  4. Add reserved sauce to cauliflower and heat thoroughly.
  5. Transfer to a platter and sprinkle with remaining green onions and peanuts.

Notes
  1. It does not matter what kind of red pepper paste you use. Mine happens to be a Middle-Eastern mild pepper paste and the recipe is based on that. If you have Korean paste please, use it and I assume you know how much heat you want your dish to have. Remember this is not baking and you can adjust any of the flavors you want.
  2. I didn't show bacon in the picture but I had it, used it and..it was good...especially with the bacon fat.
  3. I ultimately ended up using ½ C minced red peppers if for no other reason than for color.

Low Carb Spicy Thai Pea Eggplant CurryLow Carb Spicy Thai Pea Eggplant CurryLow Carb Spicy Thai Pea Eggplant CurryLow Carb Spicy Thai Pea Eggplant CurryLow Carb Spicy Thai Pea Eggplant Curry.  I have said I have a little family owned Thai market I frequent most every week for all things Asian and they always have these beautiful little pea eggplants.  One of the first things I check in the produce department are the marked down items.  I rarely buy the regularly priced Japanese eggplant because in most people’s eyes they go bad so quickly but…there is never anything wrong with them. This bag of pea eggplant was marked down to $1.00 and I swear, there is nothing wrong with them either. I think they look like tiny watermelons outside and juicy figs inside but…good grief they sure don’t taste like watermelons or figs. Low carb spicy Thai pea eggplant curry is different and oh, so delicious.

  3. Peel and cubed regular globe eggplant will work as well.

Keto Carbalose Kimchi Fritters

Leave a reply

Low Carb Carbalose Kimchi FrittersLow Carb Carbalose Kimchi FrittersKeto Carbalose Kimchi Fritters. I walked into my local neighbor Beaumont Market to talk to a friend and the only way to go in is left by the cheeses and some odd refrigerated items.  A jar of kimchi with a REDUCED sticker on it caught my eye immediately.  Gads, $2.00? For a fermented food?  It’s never going to go out of date so I grabbed it as quickly as I could.  Now, I eat kimchi relatively regularly so this is nothing out of the ordinary.  I ate a serving with Kassler Rippchen and still had enough left over to make these keto carbalose kimchi fritters.  The thing I didn’t realize as I picked up the jar was; the word MILD on part of the label.  I have never heard of “mild” kimchi so I had to go with flow and added some garlic chili paste. Assuming you know what you are doing, unlike myself, you will buy a spicy flavorful kimchi to make these low carb carbalose kimchi fritters.  I have it pictured with Asian Dipping Sauce because they go so well together and you can certainly use anything you would like or…just eat them plain. If you want the simplest dip…naw ya don’t.  I didn’t plan it but I thought you might like to see a bit of chicken p**p that can often accompany a truly raw egg.

Keto Broccoli With Brown Butter Fish Sauce

Leave a reply

Low Carb Broccoli With Brown Butter Fish SauceLow Carb Broccoli With Brown Butter Fish SauceKeto Broccoli With Brown Butter Fish Sauce. I have broken down. I purchased fish sauce. I have used other ingredients in its place for too long and I can’t do it any longer.  It seriously has such an “its own umami flavor” and is so ubiquitous to so many ethnic cuisines that I want to post I just had to have some.  As you can see, I bought a tiny tester bottle but I can assure you I will be buying a bigger bottle next time because I plan to use it more. I have used it in the past so why not now?  One of the things I learned from the verbal tutorial at my local Thai market is that the fish sauce needs to be clear and free from anything floating around in it. For the flavors of a lifetime please try making this very easy keto broccoli with brown butter fish sauce.

Low Carb Broccoli With Brown Butter Fish SauceIf you see dark glass with fish sauce in it-don’t buy it on general principals.  It may be fine but dark glass may be trying to hide things as well and something else I learned is the lighter the color the better so I think I will be buying either Squid, Three Crabs or Red Boat the next time and Red Boat 40°N is pretty much rated as the Ferrari of fish sauces and like most people-I dream of driving a Ferrari. I have since purchased a bottle of Red Boat 40°N and to even my plebian Asian tastes, the Red Boat is better. Fish Sauce should have only two ingredients: Anchovies and Salt.

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

Leave a reply

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.

Keto Mushroom Cobbler

Leave a reply

Low Carb Mushroom CobblerLow Carb Mushroom CobblerLow Carb Mushroom CobblerLow Carb Mushroom CobblerKeto Mushroom Cobbler.  Whew dogie this savory cobbler is so good and a perfect accompaniment to a good steak dinner. The flavors will depend somewhat on the mushrooms you use but it is my opinion that porcinis should be part of the mix and they are readily available as dried and if you have the dried version Pistol River Porcini Mushrooms and a spice grinder you can make your own Pistol River Porcini Dust and I use both.  Porcinis are very expensive but not if you buy them from the linked company located right here in Oregon.  I would not recommend Olive Nation, available on Amazon, because they use B grade and you definitely want A grade mushrooms.  Soooo, if you are going to do some of the recipes on this site you might as well break down and buy at least the mushrooms because I use both the powder and dried in many of my recipes and here are just a few of them.  Cauliflower & Porcini Mushroom Risotto, Creamed Hungarian Mushrooms, Porcini Wine Cream, Vegetable Calzones, and there are more.  You will just have to poke around to find them. Once you have used porcinis in one form or another you’ll ask yourself where have they been and why you didn’t know about them and you can start now by making keto mushroom cobbler.

I  had a savory cobbler crust but for me, the crust sort of overwhelmed the delicacy of the mushrooms.  Not that is wasn’t good-it was-but not the best it could be and now the recipe is much more simple and even better.  I liked the name so I stuck with it and anyway, it is very like a cobbler.

It’s very easy assuming you have washed and dried your baby Bok Choy.  Other than that, it’s very smooth, fast sailing. The first was a Bok Choy Cucumber Salad which is to die for if you are looking for a really different cold salad. A good low carb keto sautéed bok choy is one of those veggies you can brag about to your friends because they have probably barely heard the name, let alone ever eaten or used it.

I had the peas in the fridge and just grabbed some, along with a few pine nuts I had in my freezer and went with the flow.  I think one of the biggest misconceptions about snow peas is they are so easily confused with snap peas or (sugar) snap peas. Fresh snow peas should be small and very flat whereas snap peas actually have small peas inside them and…not to be confused with green peas which to my mind are pretty high carby.

Peas, peas, peas, peas.  I say eat the lower carb ones and eat the ones you like.  Me, I just happen to love snow peas because you can do more things with them and in many cases they can be a part of a crudité.  They do have invisible strings on the sides of them and if they drive you nuts then they are easy to pull off.  I find if I am able to get the smaller snow peas the strings just kind of go away in your mouth and are not to be noticed-especially when cooked.  I am now going to an Asian market to buy most of my veggies and the quality is so much better than what’s available in a regular grocery it’s not even funny.  But I’ll tell you what is funny.  Have you ever listened to an angry Asian woman?  You do not need to understand the language to know they are angry about one of two things. Either the price or the quality and it can get to both. Probably best to carry really good produce at good prices.  I am sure we sound the same way to them and we have all done it at one time or another but when it is in a language you don’t understand…it magnifies.

Low Carb Spinach Bhaji

Low Carb Spinach BhajiLow Carb Spinach BhajiLow Carb Spinach BhajiLow Carb Spinach Bhaji.  Bhaji is a vegetable East Indian concoction and can be make with all kinds of various low carb vegetables, even mixing and matching 5 or 6 different veggies but the common theme is mostly garlic, cumin and garam marsala with the additional use of curry sometimes.  I chose fresh spinach because of the ease of using it but you can also successfully use eggplant which only takes a tiny bit longer time to cook.  It is not as pretty to look at but oh boy, eggplant sure is good too. Enjoy as this is not only easy, it is also very piquant.  I served it with a mayo pork rind encrusted piece of Islandic Cod Fillet which had lots of lemon juice on it & which when mixed into the Bhaji and was divine.
