Low Carb Asian Lime Fish Sauce

Low Carb Asian Lime Fish SauceLow Carb Asian Lime Fish SauceLow Carb Asian Lime Fish SauceLow Carb Asian Lime Fish Sauce.  Originally this sauce was used to dip thinly sliced Pork Loin Roast into. I now also use low carb Asian lime fish sauce as a salad dressing along with several other things so I am posting it as a stand alone recipe.  With a little olive oil I love it as a salad dressing and anything else you might think of to dip into it.  Cucumbers? Yep. Steak? Shrimp? Oh My. Try it.  Another little trick I have learned along the way is using Persian limes instead of the old standby ones everybody uses.  They seem a bit smaller to me but they actually have more juice in them.  I have reamed a lot of lemons and limes in my day and because these have a thinner rind there is more room for juice. Anyway I’m just sayin…

Low Carb African Peanut Soup

Low Carb African Peanut SoupLow Carb African Peanut SoupLow Carb African Peanut SoupLow Carb African Peanut SoupLow Carb African Peanut Soup.  I probably do not have enough soup recipes on this site but this one is a dandy.  There are no hints of any sweetness in it as I have substituted daikon radish for high carby sweet potatoes but don’t kid yourself…This. Is. Good.  The bottom right picture is the same bowl of soup as above only with the addition of za’atar and black seeds (no not black sesame seeds)-these are a totally different and healthy animal all together. I love, love, love the combination and they can also be seen on the Eggplant Soup as well as on the salad with Lemon Tahini Mint Salad Dressing.  Once you have used them, I doubt you would ever give them up.  If you are interested, you can read more here: The Blessed Seed and they are both readily available in almost any Middle-Eastern Grocery so, for a terrific taste of Africa you may want to try this low carb African Peanut Soup.

Low Carb Eggplant Soup

Low Carb Eggplant SoupLow Carb Eggplant SoupLow Carb Eggplant Soup

Low Carb Eggplant SoupLow Carb Eggplant Soup.  Rich, thick, low carb eggplant soup with lots of olive oil and even more flavor. This soup has it all. Bottom center is how I usually sauté my eggplant so please pardon me, but I had to show off my deluxe 12″ aluminum foil sauté pan cover.  I made it about 6-7 years ago and have kept and used it over and over again because…it works.  Some of you may laugh, and rightly so, but I consider myself a minimalist when it comes to kitchenware and this is just a good example.  Where do I store it?  Glad you asked and it rests in my dishwasher along with various other things because in over 16 years…I have never actually used the dishwasher for its intended purpose.  Yep, I’m one of those rare nut cases that actually loves to do my own dishes.  If you want to see another oldie pan I bought for .10 at a garage sale check out the Carbalose Flour Butter Cream Biscuits recipe.  That baby is about 25-30 years old and I am not about to ever let it go.  I later found out it originally went inside a toaster oven and I barely knew what a toaster oven was, let alone owned one.  Bottom right is how I ate it again with za’atar and black seeds. No one expects you to eat it this way as almost no one has these very Middle-Eastern/African/Greek spices but if by some chance you do, use them as they are the absolute perfect topping for this low carb eggplant soup.

If you have access to it and you don’t want to cook fresh, then jarred roasted eggplant is actually a better way to go with this recipe and it is what I use now. Would probably use about 2 cups total.

Of further interest, this soup is good either cold, warm or hot just like Low Carb Vichyssoise.

Eggplant Soup
Print
Ingredients
  1. 2 Eggplants Peeled And Sliced Lengthwise
  2. ¼ C Olive Oil
  3. 1 Chopped Medium Onion
  4. 5 Celery Stalks Finely Chopped
  5. 5-6 C Water (Or Chicken Stock)
  6. 3-4 t Chicken Base*** (Or To Taste If Using Stock)
  7. 1 Can Diced Tomatoes
  8. ¼ C Dried Parsley
  9. ¼ C Cilantro Stems
  10. 2 T Crushed Garlic
  11. 1½ t Thyme
  12. 1-1½ t Ground Cumin
  13. ¼ t Cayenne Pepper
  14. ½ C Chopped Cilantro Leaves (Garnish)
  15. ¼ C Olive Oil (Garnish)
  16. 1 Tomato Cut Into Small Dice (Optional)
  17. 1-2 t Liquid Smoke (Optional)
  18. Salt & Pepper To Taste
Instructions
  1. Cook your eggplant anyway you wish to get it very soft. (See Notes) I added about ¼ C of oil to mine.
  2. Put 2 C water (or stock) with celery and onion into a good-size deep pan, cover, and simmer until celery is tender. Including eggplant, dump in rest of ingredients down to cilantro & olive oil garnish, and bring to hot. My pot is an old 3 qt. Revereware which I don't think is even available anymore.
  3. Remove from heat and with emersion stick, blend until relatively smooth and thick.
  4. Taste and season if necessary.
  5. Put into large bowls, add small diced tomato if using, place cilantro, and drizzle with olive oil.
  6. 8 Servings
  7. 169 Calories, 2.0g Protein, 14.2g Fat, 10.4g Carbs, 3.6g Fiber, 6.8g Net Carbs
Notes
  1. I used about a T of reserved diced tomato as garnish under the cilantro and it was surprisingly tasty so I would suggest you do the same.
  2. There are several other ways to cook your eggplant. One is to peel, chop, and sauté it in olive oil. I ended up having to cut it up anyway or, you can bake it peeled in the oven until soft and squeeze out the guts. I find that you lose a bit of eggplant by doing it this way.
  3. If you are using plain chicken stock, you will definitely have to use more salt.
  4. You may make this thinner by adding a little more stock or water as it is naturally very thick on its own.
  5. I did not add liquid smoke originally and if you don't have it don't worry as it is not an essential ingredient. It just goes well with eggplant. I tried it the next day in another bowl and I would now always use it.
  6. If you don’t have an emersion stick or a large blender do not attempt to make this soup as it is my belief if you put it into a processor it might make a mess…and I could be wrong but better wrong than sorry.
  7. I also garnished my soup with za'atar and black seeds and my oh my. As good as this soup is, they enhanced it tremendously.

Low Carb Shrimp Étouffée

Leave a reply

Low Carb Shrimp ÉtoufféeLow Carb Shrimp ÉtoufféeLow Carb Shrimp Étouffée.  Ah Yes, Étouffée.  Another Louisiana classic.  There are always alternatives to a high carby roux and we are going to kind of go the in-between route here in that I am not using any flour but I am using tomato paste.  Many an expert you might care to name, says a good low carb shrimp étouffée is not only made with, duh shrimp, but also with a stock made from the shells and this couldn’t be easier as you’ll see in the directions below. Since we are not making a roux there is no laborious stirring and waiting for it to turn dark brown.  We are also not using traditional rice but instead using either riced cauliflower or a Cauliflower Grits recipe which can easily be made days in advance and frozen for later use.

Some of you may look at the list of ingredients here but I would bet most of you have them in your pantries.  Including making the stock, from start to finish, it takes only about 1½-2 hours and that’s while you can be doing other things.  Once you have made it you may say; that was really easy-everybody loved it so…I think I’ll make that low carb shrimp étouffée again.

Keto Asian Beef Stew

Keto Asian Beef StewKeto Asian Beef StewLow Carb Asian Beef Eggplant Zucchini StewLow Carb Asian Beef Eggplant Zucchini StewLow Carb Asian Beef Eggplant Zucchini StewKeto Asian Beef Stew.  Now you can call this a stew or you can call this a soup but whatever you call it, it is good, hearty, and healthy.  Depending on how you spice this you can eat in Italy, Japan, Thailand, China and yes even in America.

I personally like the flavors of Asia so that is what we are doing here and if this is successful, I may post the same recipe using different spices and adding other ingredients.  This Keto Asian Beef Stew is very easy to make assuming you have the spices and get yourself some mung bean sprouts.  Yes, I garnished mine with a few enoki mushrooms but it is absolutely not necessary.  If you decide to use them they take about 15-20 seconds in a tiny amount of steaming water to cook.  I added some fried garlic and green onions in olive oil to the enokis I had left over and they were terrific with a rather sweetish flavor.

Low Carb Mung Bean Sprouts Carbonara

Leave a reply

Low Carb Mung Bean Sprouts CarbonaraLow Carb Mung Bean Sprouts Carbonara.  Yes, you can have an Italian dinner this evening.  No, you don’t need to go to the Olive Garden to get it.  Pasta carbonara is one of the truly classic Italian dishes and it does not need to be made with high carby pasta.  We are going to use mung bean sprouts instead and by the time we are finished, I doubt you will be able to tell much difference.  Traditionally, carbonara does not have cream in it but no fear, it is really good and does make the meal more hearty.  Hopefully you can find a good pancetta but if not, a good quality smoked bacon will work as a decent stand-in.

Low carb mung bean sprouts carbonara is an extremely low carb but more importantly, high fat recipe.  This is keto at its best and in my humble opinion, very healthy trading about 50g carbs in a pasta for about 7g in sprouts so, the choice is yours. That big beautiful display of basil?  I kid you not, I. Ate. It. All.

Keto Mint Caper Sauce

Low Carb Mint Caper SauceLow Carb Mint Caper SauceKeto Mint Caper Sauce.  I’ve not made it a secret that I love, love, love lamb and that I am always looking for a new sauce to go with it.  We have a new grocery store here in Portland and I have been buying most of my meats there now because 1.) It is all Willamette Valley Grass Fed Organic and 2.) It is by far, less expensive than the New Seasons store I have been shopping in for the last 13 years.  Thus far EVERYTHING I have purchased from them has been fantastic and I feel fortunate in that they are nearly in my backyard. As we know Portland, OR is a pretty good size city. I bought ½ lb. of ground lamb which I love all by itself but I thought it might be fun to try a new sauce with it.  The keto mint caper sauce below is not anything unique but it is different. Here are several other lamb sauces you might try:  A more traditional Low Carb Mint Sauce and an absolutely wonderful Garlic Rosemary Aioli.  All three of these recipes are really good with lamb and all three recipes feature lamb in their pictures.  Did I say I LOVE lamb?

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.

Keto Beef Burrito CrêpesKeto Beef Burrito Crêpes.  These Burrito crêpes are a very quick dinner and always a hit with children.  One of the great things about kids is when they are young they don’t have any preconceived ideas about the way something should be or look.  Think about this; if keto beef burrito crepes were the first ones they had ever had, they might think Taco Bell’s burritos were a little strange so…context is everything.  These are very easy to make even if you don’t have any of what you see on the plate.  I served mine with Pico de Gallo,  Creamy Smooth Guacamole and sour cream and of course these items can also be purchase at you local grocery store.  The Flaxseed Meal Crêpes are zero carb which makes the burritos nearly zero carb too. To make your low carb beef burrito crêpes you will need one recipe of the crêpes.  I also of course used my own Taco Seasoning but you may use your own or again, something you can buy in the grocery.
