Low Carb Asian Stir Fry

Low Carb Asian Stir FryLow Carb Asian Stir Fry. This is a pretty straight forward Asian Stir Fry and it is the addition of the Asian Dipping Sauce that really makes it special. The sauce is to die for and is used in several recipes throughout the site and you will need one recipe.  One of my many Paleo recipes.

Keto Tiramisu Torta

5 Replies

Keto Tiramisu TortaKeto Tiramisu Torta. With my chefy background I went into the kitchen one Sunday with the express intent of making this Keto Tiramisu Torta. It has been on my mind for a while but until I got the crepes posted I couldn’t try the recipe. Tiramisu (the high carby version) had long been a favorite dessert of mine and I have not eaten it in years. There are times in our lives that call for a punt and this keto tiramisu torta dessert is one of them. We don’t eat lady fingers and we don’t eat sugar but we can still love tiramisu so…we are punting.  Since tiramisu calls for ladyfingers dipped into coffee we are going to put the coffee into the Flaxseed Meal Crêpes and you will need one recipe (12) of these. If you are interested in a higher protein Keto Tiramisu Torta then it can be made with Keto Pork Rind Wraps without changing the carb counts. This is so spot on and I guarantee you will love it.

The picture is not mine but this is exactly what it looks like. Many thanks to Chef Francisco Migoya, professor at the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, NY.  When cut, you will see 12 delicately darkened crêpes between beautiful layers of espresso Zabaglione. I’m saying it again here folks, you can do most anything with the basic crêpe recipe.  If you don’t want to go to the trouble of making the torta (and it is very easily assembled) then just stuff and roll your crepes and call it good to go. Not as pretty but just as tasty.  This low carb tiramisu torta is one of the lowest carb desserts on the site.

Tiramisu Torta

Ingredients
  1. 1 Recipe Flaxseed Meal Crepes
  2. 8 Drops Liquid Sucralose
  3. 2 t Espresso Powder
  4. 5 Egg Yolks
  5. ½ C Allulose
  6. ¼ C Sweet Marsala
  7. 8 Oz Softened Cream Cheese
  8. ½ C Heavy Cream Whipped
  9. 4 Drops Liquid Sucralose
  10. 1½ t Espresso Powder
  11. 1 t Vanilla Extract
  12. 1 t Sifted Cocoa Powder
Instructions
  1. To your basic Flaxseed Meal Crêpes you are going to add 8 drops of liquid Sucralose and 2 t espresso powder then proceed to make the crêpes.
  2. Beat egg yolks, allulose, & Marsala in medium metal bowl and put over very low heat beating constantly until thickened and nearly double in volume. This is basically a zabaglione. Remove from heat, keep beating until cooled a bit, and add to whipped & softened cream cheese. I use my mixer on low.
  3. Whip heavy cream. Add vanilla, sucralose, and espresso powder and whip a bit more.
  4. Blend whipped cream & cream cheese mixture making sure it is thoroughly combined.
  5. Place first crêpe on a 7"-8” plate. Spread thin layer of mixture to cover crêpe.
  6. Put another crêpe on top & repeat until finished.
  7. If you have enough filling put it around the sides to encase it.
  8. Gently sift cocoa powder over top.
  9. Cover with a large mixing bowl and refrigerate at least 6 hours and overnight is even better as all flavors will mellow.
  10. Nutritionals include crêpes.

Notes
  1. Though this is an extremely low carb dessert I think you will also find it very rich. I suggest you cut this into 10 servings and if you seriously can eat more of it then do so...or...cut it in half and cut half into 5 pieces to see if you think it's enough and if not cut the other half into 4 portions.

Low Carb Asian Dipping Sauce

Low Carb Asian Dipping SauceLow Carb Asian Dipping SaucePretty sure this Low Carb Asian Dipping Sauce is the easiest, low carb recipe on the site. It may be easy but it packs a ton of flavor and is used to dress the Crab Rangoon Bundles. It is what makes the Asian Stir Fry and thickened just a bit (or not) the Bacon Wrapped Shrimp is delicious dipped in it. Cook up a mess of mushrooms and drizzle low carb Asian dipping sauce on ’em?  Oh Yeah and don’t forget the pork tenderloin.

Keto Crab Rangoon

2 Replies

Low Carb Crab RangoonKeto Crab Rangoon. I used to make Crab Rangoon Bundles with wonton wrappers, fried in some crummy seed oil & served with some super sweet concoction.  Well, those were the days my friends, we thought they’d never end; we’d sing and dance forever and a day. …and those days?…they did end. I still sing and dance but to a different tune and…this keto crab rangoon is a pretty terrific substitute. Certainly this is not traditional Crab Rangoon, only different, and really so much better and healthier.  You will need one recipe of either Flaxseed Meal Crêpes or Pork Rind Wraps.

Crab Rangoon
Print
Ingredients
  1. 1 Recipe Flaxseed Meal Crêpes (Or Pork Rind Wraps)
Filling
  1. 12 Oz Cream Cheese
  2. ½ C Crab Meat (About 4 Oz)
  3. ¼ C Minced Green Onion Tops
  4. 12 Long Green Onions For Tying Crêpes
Sauce
  1. ½ C Tamari Sauce
  2. ⅓ C Water (+ More If Wanted)
  3. 2 T White Vinegar
  4. 2 T Minced Green Onion Tops
  5. ½ t Crushed Garlic
  6. ½ t Powdered Ginger
  7. ⅛ t Dried Chili Flakes
Instructions
  1. Blanch long green onions until soft.
  2. Blend softened cream cheese, minced green onions, and then crab.
  3. Divide into 12 equal portions (about 2 T), form a roll and place in lower ⅓ of crêpe.
  4. Fold in sides and press gently.
  5. Roll leaving seam on bottom and gently press. It should now look like a 3”-3 ½” baby burrito.
  6. Gently tie in center with long green onion.
  7. Place in sauté pan with 1 T butter set to medium low, cover and heat to just warm.
  8. Plate bundle and drizzle sauce over it.
  9. 12 Servings
  10. 181 Calories, 7.2g Protein, 15.2g Fat 4.9g Carbs, 2.4g Fiber, 2.5g Net Carbs
Notes
  1. If serving to guests & you have access to long enough green onions cut twelve, put them in boiling water a few seconds to make them soft and tie around each crêpe. It makes a pretty presentation. If you can't get long enough green onions cut them as long as you can, cut each in half and drape an X across the top of each one.
  2. Nutritionals include crêpes.
  3. Crab Rangoon is very good served with a sweet sauce so if you want your Asian drizzle a bit sweeter add 1-2 T Allulose, a couple drops of liquid Sucalose or sweetener of choice.
  4. I know crab meat is very expensive. (I get dungeness here on the left coast) and canned would be good as well as also using cooked ground shrimp.

Low Carb Chicken Enchiladas

1 Reply

Low Carb Chicken EnchiladasLow Carb Chicken EnchiladasLow Carb Chicken Enchiladas. OK, you will need to either poach or buy a rotisserie chicken from your local grocery and pull the meat off the bones with your fingers.  You want “pulled” chicken, not diced.  If you poach one then keep 4 cups of stock as you can use it in your enchilada sauce.  (Unless you buy that too).  I am sorry but I can not abide canned sauce and that’s just me.  If you like it then by all means, please use it.  I do know for you busy moms & cooks sometimes convenience trumps all, but it you want authentic low carb chicken enchiladas this is definitely the way to go.

The  reasons I like the Los Chileros Enchilada Powder are 1.)  I do not have to use it all at once. 2.)  I like to use the stock from the chicken instead of water, but if you opt to use water you can always put chicken base in it, and 3.)  It tastes authentic and really good.  You will need 1 recipe of Zero Carb Flaxseed Meal Crêpes which serve as the tortillas or the newer Pork Rind Wraps which are to die for and all I use now. Served with Spanish Rice & Pico de Gallo this all makes a complete Mexican dinner.  For diversity there is absolutely nothing wrong with using Pulled Pork either.

  2. 8 Oz Shredded Cheddar (Or Jack) Cheese (Divided)
  3. 1 Medium Small Dice Onion
  4. 2 T Butter
  5. 1½ t Salt
  6. 12 T Sour Cream
  7. Cilantro As Garnish (If Wanted)
Enchilada Sauce
  1. 3 T Enchilada Powder
  2. 3½ C Stock (Or 3½ C Water +2 t Chicken Base)
  3. ¼ t Xanthan Gum
  4. Or 3½ C Favorite Canned Sauce
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Combine stock or water & chicken base with enchilada powder & heat. While whisking briskly, sprinkle in xanthan gum. It will begin to thicken just a bit.
  3. Sauté onions lightly in butter.
  4. Mix chicken, onions and 3 oz of cheese.
  5. Divide chicken mixture into 12 equal portion.
  6. Spread some sauce on a large plate and dredge tortilla "crêpes" on both sides.

  8. Put a little sauce in bottom of an 9"x13" baking dish and line dish with enchiladas seam side down. Spoon remaining sauce on top.

  10. Cover and bake until hot-about 20-25 minutes.
  11. Top each enchilada with dollop of sour cream and chopped cilantro.

Notes
  1. Get this guys, one 7"-8" flour tortilla has...drum roll please...22.2g net carbs which means over 44g carbs for two which is a serving. You know, that is a whole lot of carb savings.
  2. Nutritionals include crêpes or pork skin wraps.
  3. Use any leftover chicken for salad or freeze it for the next time you want even quicker enchiladas.
  4. The reason I much prefer the above enchilada mix is that it only has 4 ingredients: Chile, onion, garlic and salt.
  5. Compare that with McCormicks: Corn Flour, Salt, Chili Pepper, Cumin, Onion, Cheddar Cheese (Milk, Cheese Cultures, Salt, Enzymes), Leavening (Sodium Acid Pyrophosphate, Sodium Bicarbonate, Corn Starch, Monocalcium Phosphate), And Garlic.
  6. Me I'll take 4 ingredients I recognize.

Low Carb Creamed Chicken And Spaghetti Squash Bake

Leave a reply

Low Carb Creamed Chicken And Spaghetti Squash BakeLow Carb Creamed Chicken And Spaghetti Squash Bake. There are several schools of thought on how to properly cook your spaghetti squash and the best one is the one that works for you.  I have always cut mine and baked as shown in Spaghetti Squash 101. It is just what works for me and if you have a better way that works for you then by all means please use it.

Why I always pull my chicken or any other meat for that matter. Again it is that old surface area thing.  USING SURFACE AREA TO YOUR ADVANTAGE More surface area=better flavor and pulling chicken allows whatever ingredients you are using to penetrate it inside and out.  What better example of surface area than ice cream?

This dish is really kind of basic comfort food. It’s easy to make, easy to eat and if you have leftovers…easy to eat again.

Low Carb Naan Flat Bread

Leave a reply

Low Carb Naan Flat BreadLow Carb Naan Flat BreadLow Carb Naan Flat Bread is most often associated with India but was originally a rustic Persian (Iranian) thick flat bread used as a scoop, a side dish with stews, and for wrapping meat. I haven’t made an open-faced sandwich with it yet but I think it would be great with either the Roast Beef Spread or Ham Salad.  I now use it for my Open-Faced Rueben Sandwich, the Cubano Sandwich, and also with an absolutely zero filler Tapenade.

If you don’t have a dough docker (There Is An Answer So Please See Notes) this recipe can get a little tricky as you need to dock it to keep it from rising. To do it with a fork takes a lot of time but it can be done. It might behoove you to get a docker as they are handy and very inexpensive.  Mine is the one pictured and was $5.00. It can also be used to dock Basic Pizza Crust

A piece with Smoked Kielbasa Sauerkraut Soup?-Heavenly. Naan can be flavored many ways and a favorite is with garlic which makes sense since it traditionally was served with stews.  Try one with your favorite soup.  Now that I think about it these could make a great base for individual pizzas.  You could line up your ingredients and let everyone pick and make their own pizza.  Yeah, I think I’ll to try my next pizza with low carb naan flat bread.

Naan Flat Bread
Print
Ingredients
  1. 2 C Carbalose Flour***
  2. 2 T Gluten
  3. ¾ C Warm Water
  4. ½ t Sugar
  5. 2 t Yeast
  6. ½ C Full Fat Yogurt (Better Yet Lebni)
  7. 2 T Olive Oil
  8. ¼ t Guar Gum
  9. ¼ t Xanthan Gum
  10. ¾ t Salt
  11. 3 Drops Liquid Sucralose***
  12. 6 T Melted Butter For Brushing
Instructions
  1. Bloom yeast with sugar and warm water about ten minutes
  2. Put Carbalose, gluten, salt, olive oil, gums & yogurt in processor and pulse to mix.
  3. Add Sucralose to top of bloomed yeast and pour in with processor running.
  4. Process at least 1 minute. Dough should be a bit loose.
  5. Put in bowl, cover, and let rise 40 minutes.
  6. Knead dough gently, cut into 10 equal dough balls and let rest 10 minutes.
  7. Turn your griddle on to high.
  8. Now is the time to use your Silpat.
  9. Place one dough ball on mat and roll to about ⅛” thick into any shape you want. The easiest way is to roll them lengthwise and they should be end up about 3” wide by 7½” long but remember the shape does not matter.
  10. OK, now to keep them from rising you need to “dock” them by rolling the docker over them several times.
  11. Brush with butter and put on hot griddle butter side down and then brush the top.
  12. Cook until dark brown and flip.

Notes
  1. Another thing you can do: Weight out 1½ oz. dough balls and flatten them into an oval in your hands. This is a very fast way to make a smaller sandwich size piece of Naan. You should be able to get them to about 4½”-5”x 3” and you will not need to dock them. As soon as they are formed I put them on my hot griddle in sizzling butter and then butter the top. Form another and so on. If they puff the slightest bit just press your spatula on ‘em and let them cook. I particularly like this small size as I do not eat as much as I used to. (You know, it’s that aging thing).
  2. I slather mine with even more butter.
  3. Rise time is a little longer because you are using cold yogurt.

  2. As a side to a good steak? Oh yeah.
  3. Need I say this is good over mashed cauliflower?
  4. This does seriously make a nice dinner as it has so much good fat in it.

ZeroCarb Flaxseed Meal Crêpes

Low Carb Flaxseed Meal CrêpesLow Carb Flaxseed Meal CrêpesLow Carb Flaxseed Meal CrêpesZeroCarb Flaxseed Meal Crêpes. Super easy to make and I try to always have some in the freezer as they thaw relatively quickly.  Just plain, we tear them and use as a scoop instead of bread for Baba Ganoush or Tzatziki and as breakfast pancakes once in a while but one of my favorite ways to use zerocarb flaxseed meal crepes is filled with cream cheese sweetened with liquid sucralose and pureed strawberries or raspberries. They make an elegant low carb dessert for dinner guests. Raspberry Almond Crêpes

Depending on what you intend to do with these versatile little puppies you can add flavoring extracts to the mix. Examples: 1 t orange extract if making strawberry crepes, or 1 t almond extract if making raspberry crepes. Experiment and come up with your own combos.  Here’s one dessert recipe Tiramisu Torta and here is an appetizer Crab Rangoon Bundles/Asian Drizzle

They can be just as good as a savory crêpe by adding your own herbs & spices, as a stuffed tortilla…for Chicken Enchiladas, or…an egg stuffed breakfast burrito. Seriously, the sky’s the limit.  Here is the latest recipe made with these crêpes Mushroom Ham Cheese Quesadillas

Flaxseed Meal Crêpes
Print
Ingredients
  1. 4 Eggs
  2. 1½ C Warm Water (Only More To Thin If Necessary)
  3. ¾ C Golden Flaxseed Meal
  4. ⅓ C Melted Coconut Oil
Instructions
  1. Beat all ingredients together. Batter should be very thin. (I use my stick blender)
  2. Let batter rest at least 10 minutes (it will thicken slightly) and then add more water if necessary and if you are unable to "swirl" the batter.
  3. Make sure you keep your mixture stirred as you make each crêpe and you may (or may not) need to add a bit of water.
  4. Put an 8" non-stick pan on medium low-medium heat. Put a scant ¼ cup in center of pan and swirl to make a “crêpe”. COVER PAN UNTIL TOP OF CREPE IS DRY and they may puff a bit because of the egg. I let mine get a little darker brown and curled on the edges. DO NOT TRY TO TURN OR FLIP THEM. When dry on the top, GENTLY SLIDE OUT OF THE PAN ONTO COUNTER to cool. If they fold a little don't touch them until they are cool-they will unfold. If you have a crêpe pan all the better (I guess) and I do not, but you do need a good non-stick pan. You will know when they are finished as they will loosen and slide out onto your counter. I slide mine out onto a wooden cutting board because they do have coconut oil in them which will get on the counter and will need to be wiped when you are finished with them all.

  6. 115 Calories, 3.6g Protein, 10.5g Fat, 2.1g Carbs, 2.0g Fiber, 0.1g Net Carbs
Notes
  1. You may get more or less crêpes per recipe depending on the size of the flat part of the interior. The 8" pan I use has a pretty large flat bottom and that is how I calculated the number of crêpes per recipe. If your pan is smaller you will get more crêpes and if they don't seem large enough then use a 10" pan.
  2. As you are making your crêpes the batter will begin to get thicker so add a bit more water so you can continue to swirl it.
  3. Crêpes are very "tender" when hot so treat them gingerly. Once cooled they are easy to work with.
  4. As you can see these have nearly 0g carbs and are healthy, healthy, healthy as compared to any regular crêpe at 10.8g carbs. I mean seriously-WOW.
  5. If all you have is the darker flaxseed meal not to worry they will be just as good and just as healthy but they will not "look" quite like a crêpe.
  6. For my dinky family I put these 4 at a time in food wrap.
  7. They may look uncooked on the top but you will be filling that anyway and after rolling they look like any other crepe.
  8. Secret: Even with a good pan this is what I do. With the barest amount of coconut oil, I put in on the tip of my index finger and smear it over the bottom and up the sides about ¼". This way you will not lose the first crepe. Each crepe after that is clear sailing and will slide out very easily.

Low Carb Leek Salad

Leave a reply

Leek SaladI like totally stole this Low Carb Leek Salad recipe from Andrew Zimmern who got it from French chef Jean-Pierre Moullé who ran the kitchen at Chez Panisse for more than 30 years. I bet this recipe has been around for a while and served to thousands of people. Yep, I stole the picture to the right too. Found the recipe on Twitter and…retweeted it. Yes I did.  Made it last night-fabulous. The picture on the left is mine made with one large leek and grated egg.

I did tweak the recipe just a bit because a lot of people may not have fresh chives and even in the picture on the left the egg yolks are not grated. I thought it might be nice to actually grate the whole egg (waste not want not) to use as garnish as it is so much prettier.  If you look at the picture the leeks, at least to me, look quite thin and since it is easy to find leeks that may be an inch or more in diameter I think ½ leek is plenty, plenty for this low carb leek salad.  Several times I  have used green onions which are delicious and actually lower in carbs or about 1g carb/serving.

Leek Salad/Egg/Dijon Mustard Sauce
Print
Ingredients
  1. 2 Large Leeks
  2. 1 T Dijon Mustard
  3. 1 T White Wine Vinegar
  4. 3 T Olive Oil
  5. Salt & Pepper
  6. 2 t Dried Chives (Or Fresh If You Have Them)
  7. 2 Hard Boiled Eggs
Instructions
  1. To prepare the leeks, trim away the rough bottom on the root end but leave enough so that the leaves don't start to fall off. Cut the tough dark green stalks at the top leaving at least 2 and if possible 3 inches. You will be surprised that as they steam the darker tops will tenderize too.
  2. Starting 1½” from the root end cut the leek in half lengthwise all the way to the green tips.
  3. Make a quarter turn and repeat step one. (The leek will still be intact but the top will be quartered).
  4. Soak the leeks in a bowl of cold water, swishing them around to remove any dirt.
  5. Finish by rinsing the leek under cold running water, taking care to flush away any hidden grit between the layers at the root end. Leeks can most often be very dirty and it is important to clean them thoroughly. My opinion here: They begin to look like an old fashioned whisk broom.
  6. Set up a steamer basket over water in a pot with a tight-fitting lid and set over high heat bringing water to a boil. Turn down heat and steam the leeks for 10-15 minutes, until tender and fully cooked.
  7. Drain & set aside to cool or refrigerate for later use.
  8. Whisk together the mustard, vinegar, olive oil, dried chives, a pinch of salt, and plenty of black pepper in a small mixing bowl. If you are using freshly ground pepper save it until last.
  9. When ready to use the leeks cut each in half lengthwise.
  10. Put on a platter or plate individually, grate ½ egg over each leek, and thoroughly drizzle with the dressing.
  11. Lots of freshly ground pepper.
  12. Garnish with fresh chives if you have them.
  13. 4 Servings
  14. 103 Calories, 3.7g Protein, 7.8g Fat, 5.0g Carbs, .7g Fiber, 4.3g Net Carbs
Notes
  1. I pretty much did the directions as they had them but what I did was put the leeks in a sauté pan with water, covered & simmered them, turning several times. Just a different way to do the same thing. If you are a restaurant you do lots at a time and for a smaller amount pan steaming works very well.
  2. Green onions are easily just as good as leeks.
  3. Salad may be served warm or cold.

Low Carb Torta Provençal

Leave a reply

Low Carb Torta ProvençalLow Carb Torta Provençal. In the olden days I would probably have done this Torta Provençal with a thin pate brisee but whoa is me-can’t eat that anymore. A torta can be either savory or sweet but is pretty much encased in a crust or pastry of some kind and is often made in a springform pan which again, is how I used to make them. Well…I haven’t figured out how to encase a torta in an almond flour pastry so we are going to settle for the pie shaped wedge. Enjoy.  I am not stealing this woman’s pictures but if you want to see a stupendous torta look at this one-it is a serious work of art.  And if you scroll down you can see how she assembled it step by step.  Incredibly beautiful, http://parsleysagesweet.com/2013/05/18/tourte-milanese-a-meal-en-croute/ and uh no, mine were never as gorgeous as this one is.
