Keto Huli Huli Chicken

Keto Huli Huli ChickenKeto Huli Huli ChickenKeto Huli Huli Chicken. The origins of Keto Huli Huli Chicken come from Hawaiian Ernest Morgado. It’s traditionally cooked on huge open-air BBQs to serve 100’s of people and went on to become the food of choice for many Hawaiian school & charity fundraisers. It’s a terrific sweet & spicy BBQ sauce for pork ribs and pulled pork.  Left out pineapple for obvious reasons and I doubt, since many of you have never had huli huli chicken anyway, you’d never have known if I hadn’t told.

Notes
  1. This is also a very suitable dish done outside on your BBQ grill but inside or out, it is fantastic.
  2. If truth be told and the thighs are small I can eat two of these puppies and given the nutritionals-no biggie & I'm a piggie.
  3. If you are having this for company and for more that 6 people, just do eight thighs because the sauce should accommodate 2 more.

Low Carb Caramelized Onion Dip

Low Carb Caramelized Onion DipLow Carb Caramelized Onion DipLow Carb Caramelized Onion Dip. I had been buying a Caramelized Onion Dip from my local New Seasons Market for many years and at $8.00/lb I thought maybe I should just start making it myself. Kept testing amounts and this recipe pretty well nails it. Now I will say they used shallots but who in heaven’s name could afford as many shallots as it would take to make this? I do use shallots for many things and by themselves, in comparison to the taste of onions, there is a definite difference but I can’t tell it in this recipe.  Anyone who tells you that you can caramelize onions in 10-15 minutes is full of it. You can’t & don’t try it.  The onions in the pan were done properly in about 45-50 minutes.  This is also terrific served atop a simple sautéed chicken breast.

Caramelized Onion Dip
Print
Ingredients
  1. 2 Large Onions Peeled & Sliced Thinly Then Quarter Round Slices
  2. 2 T Olive Oil
  3. 1 T Butter
  4. ½ C Sour Cream
  5. ⅓ C Mayo
  6. 2 t Lemon Juice
  7. ¾ t Crushed Dried Thyme
  8. ¼ t Garlic Powder
  9. ¼ t Salt
  10. ¼ t Pepper
Instructions
  1. Put butter & olive oil in a large pan over low heat and add sliced onions. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are a dark caramel color or about 45-60 minutes. It is very important to do this slowly so you don’t scorch the onions so have patience with the process.
  2. Cool onions.
  3. In medium bowl, mix rest of ingredients thoroughly then add in cooled onions.
  4. 24 Servings 2 t Each Serving
  5. 45 Calories, .2g Protein, 5.5g Fat, 1.1g Carbs, .2g Fiber, .9g Net Carbs
Notes
  1. Your onions are best sliced on a mandoline so that they are all of an even thickness and thinly sliced.
  2. Serve with you favorite vegetables and as you can see I use pork rinds which is, in my opinion, the best thing anyway, with sliced vegetables coming in only a close second.
  3. If you are able to tolerate a couple more carbs then I might suggest Blue Diamond Country Ranch Rice Crackers with this. If you eat just 4 crackers it only adds 5.5g net carbs and with 2 t of dip on each cracker, & used as an appetizer, they are very filling.

Low Carb Cauliflower Bacon Quinoa Salad

Cauliflower Bacon Quinoa SaladLow Carb Cauliflower Bacon Quinoa Salad.  Quinoa is one of 10-12 ancient grains and has become something of a darling in the last 5-7 years and probably because it’s gluten free. The problem for low carbers is still its high carb content. This low carb cauliflower bacon quinoa salad is a very quickly made recipe to accompany a last minute meal. If you like this, you will also like my Cauliflower Tabbouleh which is different, a bit more complicated, and uses more ingredients. Will this taste like a classic quinoa? No, but pretty danged close.

Keto Sweet Spicy Asian Chicken Wings

Low Carb Sweet And Spicy Asian Chicken WingsKeto Sweet Spicy Asian Chicken Wings are the second wings recipe on the site and they are so good I had to share them.  I don’t design paleo dishes but sometimes they just turn out that way. Since moving to Portland, OR I had come to love Asian food of just about any kind but then that diabetes stuff just stepped in and stopped me until I found better ways to fix them.  Unfortunately, most Asian foods are laden with sugar…but not these little Keto Sweet Spicy Asian Chicken Wings puppies.

You could make these as boneless wings with cut up thigh meat but I think part of the charm of wings is the slower eating with the bones in tack and anyway, too much of our meats come without bones.  The sauce will not be thick since there is no sugar in it so serve it to the side and dip your wings.  Use them as an appetizer and make a complete Asian dinner with a small Thai Salad/Sweet & Spicy Peanut Sauce & Crab Rangoon Bundles/Asian Drizzle

  2. 1 T of orange extract will give an additional depth of flavor.

Keto Green Bean Casserole

Keto Green Bean CasseroleKeto Green Bean CasseroleKeto Green Bean CasseroleKeto Green Bean CasseroleKeto Green Bean Casserole is a recipe I have wanted to post for a long time.  Some of you know by now that some of my recipes are not for the faint of heart but this is so very easy.  When we think of green bean casserole the natural inclination is to see the Thanksgiving feast in front of us but this is a dish to eat year round.  The “mushroom soup” is from scratch and believe me there is a big difference. This is the list of ingredients in Campbell’s Cream of Mushroom Soup and, at least to me, it reads like a horror movie:  WATER, MUSHROOMS, VEGETABLE OIL (CORN, COTTONSEED, CANOLA, AND/OR SOYBEAN), MODIFIED FOOD STARCH, WHEAT FLOUR, CONTAINS LESS THAN 2% OF: SALT, MONOSODIUM GLUTAMATE, SOY PROTEIN CONCENTRATE, DEHYDRATED CREAM (CREAM [MILK], SOY LECITHIN), YEAST EXTRACT, FLAVORING, DEHYDRATED GARLIC.  No wonder mushroom soup doesn’t taste like it did in the 50’s & 60’s.

So here ya go and this keto green bean casserole is a dish you can be proud to serve your family on Thanksgiving Day or…any day of the year for that matter.

Low Carb Bacon Almond Avocado Salad

Low Carb Bacon Almond Avocado SaladLow Carb Bacon Almond Avocado Salad. Another terrific salad, this time from my friend Carole. She has actually given me several recipes over the months as she and her husband eat a lot of salad, and I mean a lot of salad. They are confessed saladholics. How that for a word? It shows up as misspelled and I’m still using it. Anyway, as I pretty much do, I changed it to my own suiting, it’s paleo, and I hope you like this low carb bacon almond avocado salad. The slivered almonds were toasted in duck fat because…I just happened to have some so, there are two fats instead of just the bacon fat.

Low Carb Cauliflower Tabbouleh

Low Carb Cauliflower TabboulehLow Carb Cauliflower Tabbouleh. Traditional tabbouleh is actually kind of an herb salad with not so much bulgur and as we Americans have made it, it now does not really resemble any true Middle Eastern versions. But hey, now here’s the deal. I am an American and this is closer to our version than theirs. Anyway, the idea is eat a good tasting clean salad and this is that. Any and all of the ingredients may be changed.  By the time you are finished with this dish you may not even recognize it as cauliflower. There are so many other compatible flavors which when blended, make this one tasty side salad and as I know low carb cauliflower tabbouleh, this will be far healthier than the boxed stuff we are all familiar with.  As I said, it is not a “wheat salad”  it is a low carb cauliflower tabbouleh herb salad with a little “cauliflower bulgur” in it.

If you are so inclined, and for more wonderful tabbouleh recipes that you can healthify with cauliflower for yourself, here is a list of them and in fact my recipe seems closely related to The Greek Island Tabbouleh

  1. 4 C Blanched, Drained, Cooled & Riced Cauliflower (Always Include The Core)
  2. 1 C Peeled, De-Seeded And Chopped Cucumber
  3. ¾ C Chopped Mint Leaves (Spearmint) (Or 3-4T Dried Mint)
  4. ½ C Chopped Curly Leaf Parsley
  5. ½ C Pitted And Chopped Kalamata Olives

  13. 1 t Apple Cider Vinegar (Or Red Wine Vinegar)
  14. ¼ t Allspice
  15. ½ t Pepper
  16. 1 t Salt (For Later)
Instructions
  1. Blend first 9 ingredients in large bowl.
  2. In a smaller bowl mix next 6 ingredients and blend into vegetables.
  3. May be refrigerated* or served immediately.
  4. Just before you are ready to serve your tabbouleh sprinkle and mix in the salt or better yet let people do it themselves. Not all, but most of the veggies will weep anyway and if you salt and then refrigerate you will have even more. Now this is not necessarily bad, it just is. Salt leaches out liquids plain & simple. If you end up with weepy tabbouleh even without salt, just drain it.

Ingredients
  1. 2 C Finely Shredded Zucchini
  2. 2 T Finely Minced Green Onions
  3. 2 T Grated Onion
  4. 1 Beaten Egg
  5. ¼ C Parmesan Cheese
  6. ¼ t Crushed Garlic
  7. ¼ C Sour Cream
  8. ¼ t Dill
  9. 2 T Butter
  10. 2 T Olive Oil (I Use Tallow-Heavenly)
  11. NO SALT Until After Cooking
  12. Freshly Ground Pepper
Instructions
  1. Mix first 6 ingredients & heat oil.
  2. If you don’t have a fine grater for the zucchini you can process or chop it a bit after grating. The idea is to not have long strands.
  3. Using your trusty #30 2 T scoop put 4 blobs in oil and gently pat down.
  4. Fry until crispy brown, turn, & repeat.
  5. NOW you can salt them.
  6. Mix sour cream & dill, and garnish each latke.

Notes
  1. The Parmesan cheese already has salt in it and too much salt will make the zucchini "weep" as you are waiting to do your second 4 latkes. Once they are cooked you are safe to salt as necessary.

Low Carb Wilted Spinach Salad

Low Carb Wilted Spinach SaladLow Carb Wilted Spinach Salad. This is a pretty standard Wilted Spinach Salad recipe and sometimes we just need to be reminded of the many different salad choices we have. This couldn’t be too much easier.  I think for a bit of crunchy goodness, this would be enhanced with toasted sliced almonds and I have added them into the recipe.  As you can see I grated my egg.
