Keto Schnitzel ala Holstein

Keto Schnitzel ala HolsteinKeto Schnitzel ala HolsteinKeto Schnitzel ala Holstein. As we diabetics and low carbers know, wheat flour is a no no, however, we have other tricks to use and one of them is Ground Pork Rinds.  When used as a meat coating, it imparts a very pleasing beautiful golden bronze color to any veal, chicken, or pork schnitzel including this keto schnitzel ala holstein.

Low Carb Pork Tenderloin-Dijon Garlic Rosemary Glaze

Low Carb Pork Tenderloin-Dijon Garlic Rosemary Glaze Low Carb Pork Tenderloin-Dijon Garlic Rosemary GlazeLow Carb Pork Tenderloin-Dijon Garlic Rosemary GlazeLow Carb Pork Tenderloin-Dijon Garlic Rosemary GlazeLow Carb Pork Tenderloin-Dijon Garlic Rosemary Glaze. These are the first pictures I have done for this recipe because for many years I have purchased pork tenderloin from my local butcher shop, the pigs are only about 200-220 lbs., hence the tenderloins are only about 8-10 oz. which for me is perfect but not to slice twice, stuff, and bake.  I bit the bullet and bought a conventional tenderloin just to take pics.  I also now use Natural Directions Organic Dijon Mustard and as you can see it does not hold up as well as it is a bit thinner than Grey Poupon so the little crowns look kinda bare.  Not to worry, the taste is absolutely terrific.  I do eat this from time to time but now I just dip a bite of meat into the sauce and if you are looking for a garlicky piquant meal then this low carb pork tenderloin-dijon garlic rosemary glaze is gonna do it for you.

  2. Bake tenderloin in a preheated 350 degree oven for 45 minutes.
  3. Let rest 5-7 minutes and slice into ¾” medallions which should look like little crowns.

Notes
  1. I have a confession. I cook my pork to just a little under medium. I definitely want it pink in the center. If you do not then cook it 5-10 minutes longer.
  2. If you want to feed more than two-three people then a boneless center-cut pork loin is best cut for this.

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

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.

Low Carb ColeslawLow Carb Coleslaw. I have served this to-die-for low carb coleslaw to unsuspecting people who think it is the best slaw they have ever eaten-little did they know.  Great for a picnic-indoors or out. Perfect with Southern Deep Fried Chicken, and Guacamole Egg Bombs.

Coleslaw & Dressing

Ingredients
  1. ½ C Mayo
  2. ½ C Sour Cream
  3. 1½ T White Vinegar
  4. 1½ T Lemon Juice
  5. 1 T Grated Onion
  6. 2 t Celery Seed
  7. 1 t Dry Mustard
  8. ½ t Paprika
  9. ¼ t Salt
  10. ¼ t Pepper
  11. 5 Drops EZ-Sweetz Liquid Splenda***
  12. 1 Medium To Large Head Cabbage Finely Shredded
Instructions
  1. Mix all ingredients except shredded cabbage and check for taste. If you like it sweeter, add more Splenda, 1 drop at a time.
  2. Add in cabbage and toss to coat. I use a mandoline which makes your slaw slices fine and evenly cut.
  3. This slaw will not ‘weep’ much liquid because there is very little salt and no sugar in it.
  4. Serves 8
  5. 250 Calories, 2.5g Protein, 23.3g Fat, 7.5g Carbs, 3.0g Fiber, 4.5g Net Carbs
Notes
  1. If you have a little dressing left over, it saves quite well in the refrigerator or...it makes a really good salad dressing and pairs well with avocados and tomatoes.
  2. A little tip here: To get the finest cutting, it’s best to start shredding at the top of the cabbage and work down to the core, then take out the core and then finish shredding. Don’t worry about taking the outer cabbage leaves off if they are still a bright green as they add great color. You’re going to end up with a lot of shredded cabbage but as the dressing is mixed into it, it will “shrink”.
  3. I love the piquancy of the mustard-grated onion-sweetness combination and if you don’t, then by all means adjust accordingly.
  4. I eat at least 4-5 helpings of this a week and have it in the refrigerator almost all the time during the summer.
  5. Notice I do not use slaw mix. Slaw mix has carrots in it and for anyone watching their carbs, carrots are little sugar bombs so I steer clear of them.

  3. Use a heaping, and I do mean heaping size #16 Scoop. This is a ¼ cup scoop but if you try to use a ¼ cup it will not be enough to fill the muffin-hole space and you will have extra batter-not good.
  4. Bake at 325 degrees 30 minutes then let rest 10-15 minutes on counter. They need to set and if not, the top may come off...and you'll have to gasp...eat it.
  5. Gently take out of pan.

Keto New England Clam Chowder

Low Carb New England Clam ChowderLow Carb New England Clam ChowderLow Carb New England Clam ChowderLow Carb New England Clam ChowderKeto New England Clam Chowder. I learned to make Clam Chowder 45 years ago (my, my how time flies) from “Chef Bob” who was of course from Boston.  There are (were) two secrets.  One is using salt pork (not bacon) and the other is the addition of thyme.  My only change from the original is that I have cut out the potatoes and flour and use pureed cauliflower to thicken and used daikon radish rather than potatoes.  Sadly, unless perhaps from a restaurant supply house you can no longer get real salt pork anymore.  Oh, for sure if you lived in North Carolina or a couple other southern states but not here in Portland town. The crap in the grocery stores is just that, crap-not cured with salt anymore and as much as I have said salt pork has always been a key ingredient, I too now have to resort to bacon.  Now, I do have access to fabulous bacon so, at least half the battle is won in the making of this fabulous keto New England Clam Chowder.

New England Clam Chowder
Print
Ingredients
  1. ½ Lb Double Smoked Thick Sliced Bacon If Possible. Mine Is 8 Slices Per Lb
  2. 2-3 C Daikon Radish Cut Into Wedges
  3. 1 C Onion ¼” Dice
  4. 6 Cans Chopped Clams (Including Juice)
  5. ¼ t Dried Thyme (Slightly More To Taste)
  6. 2 C Water
  7. 2 C Heavy Cream
  8. 2-3 t Chicken Base Paste (I use a premium chicken base made by R L Schreiber)
  9. 1-2 C Cooked & Puréed Cauliflower (This Is Your Thickener)
  10. Fresh Pepper to Taste
  11. Correct Seasoning When Finished
Instructions
  1. Cut & cook daikon radish about 30 minutes (until tender) in 2 C water.
  2. Dice bacon into ¼” pieces. This is pretty small and the easiest way to do it is to have the bacon partially frozen. Sauté on medium low until very crispy. Should take about 15-20 minutes. Remove bacon and retain half the fat.
  3. Sauté onions in remaining fat until translucent.
  4. Put the thyme in the palm of your hand, crush it, and add to onions.
  5. Add clams & juice.
  6. Add diakon radish, remaining water, heavy cream, ½ of the crispy bacon and bring to simmer for 10-15 minutes.
  7. Stir in puréed cauliflower to thickness desired.
  8. Correct seasoning to taste.
  9. Put soup in bowl and sprinkle on rest of bacon.
  10. If you have any leftover soup just add the rest of the bacon lardons.

Notes
  1. If you have bottled clam juice all the better and you can sub it for some or all of the water.
  2. New England clam chowder does NOT have celery in it. Celery, carrots, and the Lord forbid corn, are all extenders and they do not add to the flavor. The key word is CLAM-not celery.

Low Carb Eggplant French Fries

Low Carb Eggplant French Fries. I can’t think of anyone I have ever known who doesn’t love them and they are certainly just as good if not better, than regular ole fries, so so easy to make, and they go with about anything.  Do not mistake these low carb eggplant French fries for some baked-in-the-oven version, these are the real deal fried in lard but most often, and when I have it, I use duck fat.

Is that ketchup you ask?  Yes it is, a Sugar-Free Ketchup.  I do use it in recipes of all stripes but with fries I use it just naked.

Keto New York Cheesecake

Low Carb New York CheesecakeLow Carb New York CheesecakeKeto New York Cheesecake. The secret to this Keto New York Cheesecake is definitely the Crust-I mean seriously, how tough is it to make a good keto cheesecake for Pete’s sake?

April 7th, 2011 I submitted a Cheesecake recipe using GG BranCrisps as the crust base.  It won some contest and I received a free case of the product.  I have to say I am a little embarrassed by it but hey, who isn’t embarrassed every once in a while but the one below is far, far better.  So I guess if Iamketoincanada thinks her cheesecake is the best low carb keto cheesecake ever, and it’s based on mine, what does that make my cheesecake?  Maybe the Best Ever, Ever?

You will not be able to tell the difference between this keto New York cheesecake and any dense, stick to the roof of your mouth, New York cheesecake.  It’s the crust and nothing but the crust and now that you have the crust recipe you can apply it to any recipe calling for a graham cracker crust and I would think any low carber would find this an invaluable recipe for any number of pies.

Not exactly a picture of cheesecake, I know, but the picture is a piece of must have equipment.  I use it to tamp down the crust in this recipe, crush juniper berries, meats and to pound all kinds of things.  It is very heavy and I have not found any other meat pounder that begins to compare.  Norpro Meat Pounder.

New York Cheesecake
Print
Crust
  1. 2¼ C Almond Flour
  2. ¾ C Ground Pecans
  3. ½ C Allulose*** Paleo Or 12 drops EZ-Sweetz Liquid Sucralose*** or Equivalent Sweetener
  4. ¾ C Melted Butter
Filling
  1. 24 Oz-3 Packages Original Philadelphia Cream Cheese
  2. 1 T Vanilla Extract
  3. ¾ C Allulose*** or 18 Drops EZ-Sweetz Liquid Sucralose***
  4. ¼ C Heavy Cream
  5. 3 Eggs
Topping
  1. ½ C Sour Cream
  2. ½ t Vanilla Extract
  3. 1 Drop EZ-Sweetz Liquid Sucralose***
Crust
  1. Preheat oven to 350°.
  2. Put almond flour into a medium bowl.
  3. In a small processor add pecans and Allulose and process until pecans are ground.
  4. Add pecan mixture to almond flour and mix in melted butter.
  5. Spread crust around bottom and up sides of 9" spring-form pan.
  6. Blind bake crust 12-15 minutes at 350 degrees and then “tamp down” as it will puff up. Return to oven for about 5-10 additional minutes or until it starts to turn slightly brown. Put on counter to cool.
Filling
  1. Beat cream cheese, vanilla, and sweetener until smooth.
  2. Add eggs 1 at time and blend on low only until mixed.
  3. Add heavy cream and just blend.
  4. The idea is to have as few air bubbles as possible.
  5. Fill baked crust. It will be full-but have no fear.
  6. Bake 10 minutes at 325°, turn down heat to 300° and bake 30-35 minutes longer or until just barely set in center.
  7. Remove from oven, cool completely, on counter top.
Topping
  1. Mix well and cover top of cooled cheesecake being careful not to get on crust.
  2. Return to preheated 400° oven for 8 minutes.
  3. Cool again. Cover, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours. Overnight is better. The longer it is in the refrigerator the more dense it will become.
  4. I add 6 medium mashed up strawberries, 2 T of water, and mix with 1 drop EZ-Sweetz Liquid to top my cheesecake. If any topping is added it will increase carbs just slightly.
