Low Carb Mongolian Beef And Broccoli

Low Carb Mongolian Beef And BroccoliLow Carb Mongolian Beef And BroccoliLow Carb Mongolian Beef And BroccoliLow Carb Mongolian Beef And Broccoli. Probably most every recipe you see involving a sauce of some kind in an Asian dish calls for cornstarch as the thickener and I don’t use cornstarch anymore to thicken anything.  But…I have a little trick (that a secret friend told me about long ago) that works like a charm and it’s in that little shaker in the 2nd picture.  It’s a combination of ½ xanthan & ½ guar gum.  It takes very little to thicken a sauce, has nearly zero carbs and especially in the amounts we will be using.  The reason it’s in that little shaker is because you can control it so well and even for low carb Mongolian beef and broccoli it takes less than ¼ t for the whole recipe.

I blanch and freeze broccolini so I have it when I need it and yes, I Clean My Own Beef Tenderloin so I always that at my disposal too.  Both of these food items come in handy when making this very simple dish. I know you probably will not clean a whole tenderloin or even use broccolini but of course fresh broccoli works or a 10 oz package of frozen works too.  I don’t know if you can see it or not but I put my beef & broccolini over some cauliflower rice fried in a little butter & olive oil combo and it’s just peeking out in the front & lower right.

Low Carb Italian Coleslaw

Low Carb Italian ColeslawLow Carb Italian ColeslawLow Carb Italian Coleslaw. Most of my friends are pretty old now cause uh…I’m old.  An old friend of mine ask me to please witness her medical advanced directives and so, along with another old woman we know,  we took an afternoon to get this taken care of.  We ducked into some “food joint” that Libby knew of because she had not eaten lunch and wanted a tuna sandwich.  They had some coleslawy looking stuff in the case, I ask what it was, and the girl said it really didn’t have a name but they just called it Italian Coleslaw.  I asked if they made it, did it have sugar in it, and what else was in it and she told me yes they made it, no, no sugar and that it had ham and salami-hence the name Italian Coleslaw. Well, it didn’t even taste like coleslaw let alone Italian.  Hard to explain but it was…tasteless…so…I set out to make my own because I liked the idea of it.  Since I live in a big city with many local butcher shops I knew I could get good ham and salami and I do know how to use spices so here ya go. Not only does it taste great, it is really easy to make and…sugar-free. I do use my own mixture of Italian Herbs.

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 Chicken With Sumac And Za’atar

Leave a reply

Low Carb Chicken With Sumac And Za'atarLow Carb Chicken With Sumac And Za'atarLow Carb Chicken With Sumac And Za'atarZa'atar Aleppo SyrianLow Carb Chicken With Sumac And Za’atar. Or its Arabic name, Musakhan. This dish, when fixed properly, is a sign of great love and respect for relatives and special friends.  It shows that not only did the woman spend time preparing the meal but also that her husband provided money for the pine nuts that top the dish and alas yes, pine nuts are expensive worldwide.  I am hoping  this looks well worth your effort and that you get your hands on some sumac and za’atar to make it.  They are both spices used extensively in Middle Eastern cuisine and staples in every home with many families making their own za’atar from scratch.  Sumac by itself in quite piquant and lemony so the addition of more lemon is really only an esthetic one and for decoration only. I have both these spices/herbs because I cook Middle Eastern foods like Cauliflower Tabbouleh,  Tzatziki,  Lemon Thyme Cauliflower Quinoa,  Lemon Mint Tahini Salad Dressing,  Tahini Dip,  Baba Ganoush, and more since I have family in Dubai.  The dish is usually made with crispy pita bread under the chicken and with more pita served to the side but for obvious reasons and to keep it low carb…

Low carb chicken with sumac and za’atar may also be done with whole spatchcocked roasted chicken and should go with lots of other side dishes because in the Mid-East people tend to have larger families which include parents and grandparents and since we here in the US tend not to eat so communally, I just did thighs instead.  Not much of a secret that I like dark meat chicken as a lot of my recipes reflect it.  FYI Middle Eastern chickens are much, and I do mean much smaller than the over-sized monstrosities we breed here.  We would call theirs a small Cornish game hen.  The emphasis of the meal is not necessarily meat-centric but is only a part of the aggregate so, if you are eating 3, or 4 other smaller items with your meal, one large thigh should be plenty enough and anyway, two thighs is not many carbs.

Chicken With Sumac And Za'atar
Print
Ingredients
  1. 8 Large Chicken Thighs Bone-In Skin On
  2. 2 Large Onions Thinly Sliced (Julienned)
  3. 2 T Sumac
  4. 1 T Crushed Garlic
  5. ⅓ C Olive Oil + More For Drizzle
  6. 1½ t All Spice
  7. 1½ t Cinnamon
  8. 1¼ C Water
  9. 2 t Chicken Base
  10. 1½ t Salt
  11. 1 t Pepper
  12. 3 T Za’atar+More If Wanted
  13. ½ T Butter
  14. ⅓ C Pine Nuts
  15. 1 Lemon Thinly Sliced Into 8
Instructions
  1. Mix and divide in half and put everything into two large resealable plastic bag except the onions, za’atar, butter, and pine nuts and refrigerate for at least several hours and overnight is great.
  2. Bring chicken to room temperature before attempting to cook it.
  3. Preheat oven to 425°
  4. Scatter onions in pan and arrange chicken skin side up along with marinade arranged around the chicken in a large 9"x13" baking pan.
  5. Roast for 40-45 minutes or until chicken skin is cooked, crispy, and darkened.
  6. Meanwhile, melt butter over medium heat, add pine nuts and stirring almost constantly, sauté until golden brown. Be careful not to burn them. Remove from pan and set aside.
  7. Sprinkle chicken liberally with za'atar, top with onions, then with pine nuts. If desired, use more sumac & za’atar. It’s pretty hard to overdo either one of them.
  8. Put a slice of lemon to the side as garnish. (I forgot mine).
  9. Let anyone who wants to drizzle additional olive oil, to do so.
  10. 8 Servings
  11. 555 Calories, 33.3g Protein, 44.0g Fat, 5.6g Carbs, .9g Fiber, 4.7g Net Carbs
Notes
  1. Traditionally za’atar, sumac, & olive oil once used by the cook, would also be served in their own small dishes for people to pinch, drizzle, or dip pita bread into.
  2. I personally would serve this on a platter and let people serve themselves but that’s just me.
  3. The sumac in the left picture is the bright red and the za'atar is the greenish brown mixture with pine nuts spread all over the chicken and plate.
  4. To add complexity and tradition, the onions would be caramelized but for ease of the recipe I baked mine with the chicken which worked really well.

Low Carb Spicy Korean Wings

Low Carb Spicy Korean Chicken WingsLow Carb Spicy Korean Chicken WingsLow Carb Spicy Korean Wings.  These are killer wings and you can make them as spicy or mild as you wish. I like mine kinda medium to spicy but that plate of 12 wings you see there? I ate them. All. By. Myself.  All I had for dinner with the wings were the few jicama sticks in the back of the plate. I have subsequently changed the pic and I am now down to a respectable 8 wings with a little more than just jicama sticks.  These can be eaten as an appetizer or a dinner and only depends on how many you can put away and what else you serve with them.  I just happen to like mine for dinner.  Of course a huge platter of Low Carb Spicy Korean Wings on game day is perfect and actually can be served on a platter for any communal eating.  Put these in front of a bunch of hungry men and watch them disappear as if by magic, so have fun as they are easy peasy.

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.

Low Carb Parmesan Artichoke Heart Shrimp Salad

Leave a reply

Low Carb Parmesan Artichoke Heart Shrimp SaladLow Carb Parmesan Artichoke Heart Shrimp SaladLow Carb Parmesan Artichoke Heart Shrimp Salad.  I have actually begun making and eating a few more salads than I used to.  I have been and continue to be an avid carnivore but a small accompanying salad has now made its way to my table and…this salad has shrimp so…hey.  A salad, in this country, is traditionally eaten before a meal whereas in Europe it comes at the end of a meal.  Me? I tend to eat my salad with my meal. There is nothing particularly special about this salad except it is really tasty.  It has a little dairy, a little seafood, a few veggies and a few greens and how much more balance could you want?  Now I would normally make my own Caesar Salad Dressing but for this low carb Parmesan artichoke heart shrimp salad and for simplicity I am going to recommend Briannas Asiago Caesar Salad Dressing.  Though I certainly don’t like the canola oil or a couple  of the other ingredients, the taste is really pretty spot on and eating it every once in a while is not going to hurt anyone.

  2. I forgot the pepper for the first pic, I put it on later and you really do need it.
  3. The second picture is with bay shrimp and was much larger as it was all I had it for dinner.

Low Carb Carbalose Duck Fat Shortbread CookiesLow Carb Carbalose Duck Fat Shortbread CookiesLow Carb Carbalose Duck Fat Shortbread CookiesLow Carb Carbalose Duck Fat Shortbread CookiesKeto Carbalose Duck Fat Shortbread Cookies. As I nearly always have duck fat in my refrigerator for sautéing and frying foods, I thought this recipe might be a natural to put on the sight.  I know most of you might not have duck fat but it is usually available in your grocery store or…you can do it the way I do and save your fat when you cook a duck.  I can usually get about 2 cups of fat per duck which of course makes the fat pretty much free-cool huh?  The really nice thing is there is no sugar in these keto carbalose duck fat shortbread cookies and as I have used EZSweetz, and Carbalose flour, for many years, and with newly added Allulose as the sweetener, I am very confident in them. Best of all…they also have no nut flours or coconut in them so they are nicely crunchy from the ground chia seeds and flax seed meal. If you can get your hands on a little duck fat these are very, very easy to make. 1947, I just love the bin# on the chia seeds-it’s the year I was born.

Duck Fat Shortbread Cookies
Print
Ingredients
  1. 2 C Carbalose Flour***
  2. ⅓ C Butter Softened Plus A Bit More For Baking Dish (About ½ t Only On The Bottom)
  3. ⅓ C Cold Rendered Duck Fat (Needs To Be Cold As Duck Fat Is Liquid At Room Temperature)
  4. ½ C Allulose***
  5. 1 Beaten Egg
  6. 6 Drops EZSweetz Liquid Sucralose***
  7. ½ T Ground Chia Seeds
  8. ½ T Flaxseed Meal
Instructions
  1. Add chia seeds, flax seed meal and EZSweetz to beaten egg and mix well. The chia dust will look like pepper-not to worry and it does not show in the finished product.
  2. In a medium bowl add butter, duck fat, and Allulose mixing slowly at first, until it is incorporated and then beat it until it lightens in color and gets fluffier.
  3. Beat in egg mixture until well incorporated.
  4. On low, add the flour slowly until mixed and dough just comes together.
  5. Spread dough evenly to about ¼” in prepared 10”x10” baking pan.
  6. Dough may seem a be a little dry (stiff) (it's not) and if it is, sprinkle it evenly into pan, distribute & pat down well with your fingers and with a small glass, "roll" over it completely to make the top smooth.
  7. With a sharp thin knife or a bench scraper (best) if you have one, (a filet knife works well for this) cut down to pan every 1” or 9 cuts, turn and cut every 2.50” or 3 cuts for a total of 40 shortbread cookies.
  8. Take a small poker of some kind (wooden skewer works well) and make 2 pokes all the way through to bottom of pan in each shortbread.
  9. Refrigerate for 1 hour, making sure dough is well chilled.
  10. Just before ready to bake, preheat oven to 350°.
  11. Bake 17-18 minutes or until barely browned at the edges.
  12. Cool completely in pan then gently de-pan and enjoy. They are very light and crunchy almost...like a shortbread.

  14. 188 Calories, 7.5g Protein, 15.7g Fat, 10.5g Carbs, 6.7g Fiber, 3.8g Net Carbs
Notes
  1. Make sure your duck fat is cold to begin with or you will watch it melt before your eyes in the bowl.
  2. Perfect with a mid-afternoon cup of tea.
  3. It is important to cut cookies before baking.

Keto Potato Soup

4 Replies

Low Carb Potato SoupLow Carb Potato SoupLow Carb Potato SoupKeto Potato Soup.  Betcha think this is going to be another one of those “cauliflower as potatoes” soups and you would be so wrong. Keto potato soup is made with daikon radish and for good reason.  Daikon radish has almost no flavor of its own but will take the flavors and shapes of many other things, with potatoes at the head of the list.  In the low carb and diabetic worlds most people seem to be looking for really good low carb substitutions for potatoes, rice, sugar, and wheat and the daikon radish is it for potatoes.  Its benefits are many:  It doesn’t change color when exposed to air, you can eat it raw in crudités, you can grate it for a salad and chunk it for potato salad etc. Here is Warm Daikon Radish German Potato Salad, Beef Rouladen, and here’s a Daikon Radish Dill Pickle Egg Potato Salad

Keto Guacamole

Leave a reply

Low Carb GuacamoleLow Carb GuacamoleLow Carb GuacamoleKeto Guacamole. I have long wanted to make this post and it seemed kind of dumb with only 4 measly ingredients.  There are probably hundreds of recipes for guacamole on the internet and what would make my keto carb guacamore anything special? Actually, I think there are two thing that set mine apart.  That it tastes the way should.  I have always though of guacamole as a side salad/condiment and not necessarily a dip.  Do I use it as such? Yes I do, and I also use it to go with other things like Cheese Tortilla Fajitas, Mexican Cheese Taco Salad, or Fish Tostadas On Cheese Crisps. The second thing that sets mine apart is the creaminess of the avocado itself. Yeah, it has the traditional green onions and diced tomatoes but the avocado is as smooth as a baby’s butt which gives the mouth feel the consistency of soft butter. How do I get the avocado to that consistency?  With an immersion blender plain and simple.  No smashing with a fork or potato masher which will not give you much of anything but chunky and no processor to clean.

I don’t use any extraneous ingredients in keto guacamole;  just avocado, green onions, tomatoes, & salt.  It isn’t suppose to blast you with heat or flavors that don’t go together, it is a palate cleanser and cooling agent after eating spicier foods. How often do I make guacamole?  More than I like to think about which is probably once every 1-2 weeks. And the good news? It’s healthy.

  1. Let's get real here. It would probably be impossible for one person to eat all this but shared by two people, watching a game-oh-yeah. Unless you have small kids, 4 servings is out of the question.
  2. My bowl was too big but my two smaller metal bowl were in the fridge with something or another in them.

Keto Korean Ginger BBQ Sauce

Keto Korean Ginger BBQ SauceKeto Korean Ginger BBQ SauceKeto Korean Ginger BBQ SauceLow Carb Korean Ginger BBQ SauceKeto Korean Ginger BBQ Sauce. This sauce was first featured as Rack Of Lamb With Korean Ginger Sauce but it is so good I ate it the following night with a beef tenderloin and a little steamed Bok Choy and the next night with plain old sprouts as a salad.  Seems this stuff is so terrific I can’t stop eating it.  I’m betting Keto Korean Ginger BBQ Sauce will become staple in my house to put on lots more things…etc. etc. etc.  The rack of lamb was so good I just decided to make this a stand-alone recipe.  Hope you enjoy it.

  10. 2 t Powdered Ginger
  11. Pinch Red Pepper Flakes + More If Heat Is Wanted
Instructions
  1. In small saucepan combine all ingredients and heat gently for about 5-8 minutes or until thickened just a little.
  2. It's now ready to serve with anything hot and if you want to use it as a dressing for a salad refrigerate for at least several hours.

Notes
  1. You can either serve sauce directly on meat or vegetables or in a small condiment dish to the side. A little goes a long way.
  2. The green onions and red peppers in the second picture are things I always have and they were so good with the lamb I repeated myself with the steak. They are certainly not called for every time you use the sauce.
  3. If you want this a bit spicier add a bit more red pepper flakes to taste.

Keto Sweet Spicy Thai Peanut Sauce

Leave a reply

Low Carb Sweet Spicy Thai Peanut SauceLow Carb Sweet Spicy Thai Peanut SauceKeto Sweet Spicy Thai Peanut Sauce.  I live down and around the corner from a terrific Thai restaurant which allows me to bring my own peanut sauce to eat their salad with because I am diabetic.  They don’t speak much English and they think I’m crazy but never-the-less accommodate me which allows me to go out to dinner for Thai food with no guilt once in a while.

Thais eat what I consider a very sweet life through their food and yet their Type II diabetes rate is 1⁄3  that of the United States.  This is more than likely due to the mostly living in rural areas with the absence of American Junk Food.  Even in the larger cities many people go to the outdoor markets to get their food for the day and yes, they do sugar their foods but in relatively smaller quantities and make no mistake, their rates of obesity are rising as more people pack into the larger cities and eat more of our SAD diet.  They are now ranked third highest in the Asian-Pacific countries with of course Bangkok leading the way.

I have no idea what happened to this recipe post but it disappeared and is apparently gone forever. I am re-posting it but it is listed as a link in any number of places and the only true place is here and in the Sauces Category until I can find and change them all which may be a month of Sundays at the rate I go.  So sorry for that and my apologies because I have zero idea how it happened.  I still have my pictures which is at least good and I have zero idea what I had written so this is a complete do-over. What follows is only my take on things but we don’t need to worry about any sugars in this as it is sugar-free.  This really is a keto Sweet Spicy Thai Peanut Sauce and I also have it listed as such with the Thai Salad With Spicy Sweet Peanut Sauce and Thai Chicken. Hopefully we know that peanut sauce is wonderful with a chicken or beef satay and can also be used to dip vegetables into.
