Zucchini Mushroom Daikon CasseroleZucchini Mushroom Daikon CasseroleZucchini Mushroom Daikon CasseroleZucchini Mushroom Daikon CasseroleZucchini Mushroom Daikon Casserole. I know that casserole dish looks like it has gone through the Boer War because it has. It was my mom’s long before I got it is 1992.  As I write this recipe I have had three portions of it with the 4th waiting in the wings. (I only made ½ the recipe). This casserole is all about the protein and fat and has nothing to do with calories and if anyone cares the carbohydrates are 3% of the total.

Low Carb Cabbage Fritters

Leave a reply

Low Carb Cabbage FrittersLow Carb Cabbage FrittersLow Carb Cabbage Fritters. Found this recipe tootling around the internet and it sounded fantastic. There was not much I would need to change except subbing ground pork rinds for flour and They. Are. Incredibly. Delicious. I have included a lovely yogurt dip and I also think either my Asian Dipping Sauce or the Asian Lime Fish Sauce would also be wonderful with these low carb cabbage fritters. The yogurt picture is to show you what I use to make the sauce. Fritters make either a really fabulous appetizer or vegetable.

Cabbage Fritters
Print
Ingredients
  1. 1½ Lbs or 1 Small Head Cabbage
  2. 1 t Salt
  3. 2 Small Onions (Or 1 Large) Finely Diced
  4. 4-5 T Olive Oil Divided
  5. 1 T Garlic Paste***
  6. 2 Eggs
  7. 1 t Dried Thyme
  8. 1 t Red Pepper Flakes
  9. ½ t Salt
  10. ¼ t Pepper
  11. ½ C Ground Pork Rinds***
Sauce
  1. ¾ C Yogurt
  2. 2 t Lemon Juice
  3. ¾ t Garlic Paste
  4. ¾ t Dried Parsley
  5. ¼ t Salt
Instructions
  1. Core and cut cabbage into ⅛” long strips, turn, then into thirds or fourths. Pieces should be about ⅛” x 1½”.
  2. Put cut cabbage & 1 t salt into large pot of water and boil for 10-15 minutes or until falling apart tender.
  3. Strain, drain, cool, and squeeze as much water as is possible out of it.
  4. Now squeeze cabbage one more time for good measure.
  5. Dice onions, add to 1 T olive oil and sauté about 5-6 minutes.
  6. Add garlic and cook until golden brown being careful not to burn the garlic.
  7. Add salt, pepper, thyme, & red pepper flakes and cook another 1-2 minutes. Add to cabbage.
  8. Beat 2 eggs, add pork rinds, mixing well and add to cabbage mixture.
  9. Using a medium scoop, (I used a size #24) or about 2½ T form into balls and barely push to make a fat disc.
  10. Put 2 T olive oil into large skillet and fry cabbage discs 5-6 at a time until dark brown on both sides.
  11. Repeat until finished.
Sauce
  1. Mix all sauce ingredients.
  2. Arrange nicely with sauce in the center.
  3. 8 Servings 2/Person
Notes
  1. If you don’t cook the fritters long enough they will not set well enough to flip. Just try not to make them too big. After refrigeration they hold up super well as I can attest. Like an animal, later after dinner, I stood in the kitchen and ate a couple more of them cold over the sink soooo...they would be perfect for a child's snack.
  2. I have included a picture of the yogurt I have used forever, to at least introduce you to it. It will be the best yogurt you have ever eaten and it is thick as mud.
  3. The sauce, if you even have any left over, can be used in a myriad of ways so don't worry, you're probably going to make it again for other stuff anyway. It's good with cucumbers and very good with pork rinds.

Keto Pork Rind Wraps

4 Replies

Keto Pork Rind WrapsKeto Pork Rind WrapsKeto Pork Rind WrapsKeto Pork Rind WrapsKeto Pork Rind WrapsKeto Pork Rind WrapsKeto Pork Rind Wraps. There may be lots of recipes for keto wraps and this is just my simple version. I did not put any flavoring (except salt) into them as you can flavor them any way you wish and that might certainly include sweetened. I made mine in a small sauté pan to control even sizing but they could just as easily be done on a countertop griddle. To keep it simple and because I already had everything I needed, I did pulled pork burritos and you can experiment any way you wish. Of course I didn’t use all eight of the wraps and since I only used two, I put them two each encased in film and froze the rest of them for later use. The first next thing I am going to do with them is tear them into pieces to use as scoops in one of my dips which might include…I just made some Smoky Eggplant Dip, tore two wraps into what I call rags, and they were perfect. I didn’t do it but it would be nice to display 6 folded wraps on a plate and let people communally tear their own pieces.

The last picture are three small wraps filled with almond whipped cream & raspberries and topped with same and pictured is the new 5” pan I bought especially to make the smallest 4½” wraps. The recipe is only for the keto pork rind wraps and nothing else. They have next to zero carbs and you will have to decide what other low carb foods you want to stuff or eat them with and I have since eaten them as a fabulous BLT wraps.

In my first foray using them for a dinner I used pulled pork sprinkled with cumin inside & out, cheddar cheese, guacamole, sour cream, jalapeno peppers and cilantro but the sky’s the limit on what you can do with keto pork rind wraps. Next time I get a duck I am going to use them as Chinese pancake to make Peking Duck.

I use Plain Pork King Good rinds and they can be purchased any number of places-I buy mine from Netrition. Once you have these you should find all kinds of way to use them. Maybe…Chicken or Cheese Enchiladas? Or maybe just plain pancakes with butter and sugar-free syrup.

Keto Chicken Kiev

Leave a reply

Keto Chicken KievKeto Chicken KievKeto Chicken KievKeto Chicken KievKeto Chicken KievKeto Chicken KievKeto Chicken Kiev.  I was able to eat this keto Chicken Kiev for the first time in a very long time last night and it was in one word, fantastic. I have probably made 100’s of lumps of chicken Kiev in my day and it has always been an arduous task at best.  I have not eaten it for at least and probably well over 6 years as not only did it entail the use of flour but also bread crumbs.  I absolutely love going into my kitchen and trying to make some high carby dish into something low carb without altering the final taste outcome and this recipe is spot on.  One of the things I don’t like about white meat chicken, and I have said this before, is its dryness.  Do I use it once in awhile?  I do, and then I am mostly sorry.  Not only is dark chicken meat more moist, it plain tastes better.  So you are probably asking yourself how in heaven’s name can I make a keto chicken Kiev with a puny thigh.  Well, this is how-by using your own ground thigh meat.  Now I admit I do have access to really good chicken and I would suggest you use it too.  If the chicken has been “plumped” I would seriously say not to use it as it will/may spit and spatter like crazy as you fry it.  For further information I would suggest reading my post regarding Plumped Chicken  It will be well worth it.  Do not use less that 5⅓ oz of meat per person as you may not be able to adequately cover your butter mixture.  One of the best things about these little lumps of goodness it that they are nearly full-proof. The recipe is for three and can be doubled for six.  Can you use ground turkey? I guess you can but I would not use it because you have no idea how many different turkeys went into the mixture and turkey is plumped like crazy.  For those of you that have had Kiev, is that they can taste drastically different from recipe to recipe and of course this is only my opinion but my Kiev guts are the best.  Herbs can be a little iffy but we all know garlic, chives, and butter are not.  If this combo is good enough for Shrimp Scampi it’s definitely good for keto chicken Kiev and the only way I have ever fixed it.

Chicken Kiev
Print
Ingredients
  1. 1 Lb. Chicken Thighs
  2. ¾ C Finely Ground Pork Skins
  3. 1 Well Beaten Egg
  4. 2 T Sour Cream (Omit For Paleo)
  5. 6 T Butter
  6. 2 T Dried Chives (Fresh Are Even Better)
  7. 2 t Crushed Garlic
  8. ½ t Salt
  9. ½ t Pepper
  10. Oil For Frying (I Use Lard, Tallow Or Any Combo In My Larder)
Instructions
  1. Thoroughly mix softened butter, chives, garlic, salt, and pepper. Lay butter on a piece of film so it looks like a hot dog, wrap it, and stick it into the fridge for about 30 minutes.
  2. Cut chicken thighs into about ¾"-1" chunks and pulse in processor until about the consistency of hamburger. Don't sweat the small stuff as anything close will work.
  3. Beat egg and sour cream until smooth and put on small plate.
  4. On another small plate lay down the ground pork rinds.
  5. Divide chicken thigh meat into 3 equal portions, make into fat ovals, and make a little well down the center.
  6. Cut chilled compound butter into three equal portions, roll in your palms to elongate it and put it into the well of chicken.
  7. Pick up chicken and carefully encase the butter into a chicken log.
  8. Roll each log in the egg wash and then into the pork rinds.
  9. Fry in ½" hot oil (I use whatever is in my larder at any given time) and fry until golden brown-about 3-4 minutes, turn and repeat.
  10. 3 Servings
  11. 552 Calories, 41.0g Protein, 42.6g Fat, 1.2g Carbs .1g Fiber 1.1g Net Carbs
Notes
  1. Turn gently and do NOT press on them as you will probably squish out the liquid buttery center.
  2. How cool is this-nary a toothpick in sight and nearly foolproof.
  3. You can use any compounded butter combination you want. (But this is the best-trust me)
  4. If you decide to double the recipe you should only need 1 egg.
  5. Since you are hopefully using fresh never frozen chicken these will freeze well before or after cooking...or you can eat them for breakfast.

Low Carb Minnesota State Fair Ham Loaf

Leave a reply

Low Carb Minnesota State Fair Ham LoafLow Carb Minnesota State Fair Ham LoafLow Carb Minnesota State Fair Ham Loaf. A little backdrop here.  My husband’s family all hail from St. Paul, MN. and every year their church makes and sells a ton of this ham loaf at the Minnesota State Fair.  I’d hate to show you what they serve on the plate with it, like potatoes, corn, and cornbread and if you are interested here the original recipe with a picture.  It is literally a plateful of carbohydrates.  Hamline United Methodist Church Ham Loaf  Ten or eleven years ago there was a family reunion somewhere in God’s country upper Minnesota and this Minnesota State Fair Ham Loaf was one of the dinners made and at the time I thought is was pretty tasty.  I only made it one other time and then kinda forgot about it.  Well, I don’t eat brown sugar anymore but I do use Allulose and I have adjusted the recipe for low carb Minnesota State Fair Ham Loaf accordingly. The additions of liquid smoke & bacon is mine because I happen to like them.  It is quite easy to make and if you fixed extra sauce I think it might be good drizzled on any number of accompanying vegetables.

  1. Using Yogurt or Sour cream in lieu of buttermilk will decrease the net carbs by about ½ of buttermilk.
  2. Bread crumbs are included in nutritionals and omitting them and subbing them with ground pork rinds would reduce the net carb count to nearly nothing and suitable for keto.
