Low Carb Cauliflower Au Gratin

Low Carb Cauliflower Au GratinLow Carb Cauliflower Au Gratin. Julia, Jacques, and me.  I certainly never thought I would put the three of us together in one sentence but here we are.  As you can plainly see I AM NOT in the picture alas…only in the sentence.  And then there was this guy who slipped in to grab a little of Julia’s thunder. It is funny, funny, funny.

All I have done is tweak this recipe to take out the carbs by eliminating the milk and flour.

Cauliflower Au Gratin
Print
Ingredients
  1. 1 Large Head Cauliflower
  2. ¼ t Salt
  3. 2½ C Heavy Cream
  4. 1 T Butter For Baking Dish
  5. Salt & Pepper
  6. 1 Pinch Nutmeg
  7. 1 t Chicken Base
  8. 1 C Grated Gruyere Cheese
Instructions
  1. Turn the cauliflower upside down, and cut all around the stem with a sharp knife, slicing off the tough leafy stems that are attached to it. Pick off any remaining leaf pieces that may still be attached. Do not cut the florets apart.
  2. Put the whole cauliflower, stem end down, into a large pot with two inches of water and ¼ t salt. Cover tightly and bring to a rapid boil. Cook until you can pierce a floret with a sharp knife (about 8 minutes). Carefully lift the cauliflower out of the pot and place it in the gratin dish to cool slightly.
  3. Turn the cauliflower upside down, and slice all around the core, through the floret stems, so the head falls apart. Arrange the florets in a single layer round side up, then chop up the cooked core and scatter the pieces in the dish.
  4. Pour cream into a saucepan and bring to simmer until thickened.
  5. Whisk in ¼ teaspoon pepper, chicken base and a pinch or two of nutmeg. Taste and adjust seasoning to your taste remembering that the cheese also has a lot of salt in it. The sauce should be thick, but pourable. If necessary, thin with a bit of water, stirring to blend well.
  6. Season the florets with ¼ t pepper, and scatter ½ cup of the grated cheese over the top. Set the gratin dish on a cookie sheet, then ladle or pour the sauce over the cauliflower. Sprinkle on the rest of the cheese, place in the oven and bake until the sauce is bubbling and the cheese is starting to brown, about 20-25 minutes.

Notes
  1. I do think a bit of parmesan cheese on top would be terrific and I will try it next time I make this.
  2. Personally when it comes to cheese, I think more is better and if you do too-feel free to add more.
  3. DO AHEAD NOTE: The assembled gratin can be made several hours ahead if stored well wrapped in the refrigerator. Preheat the oven to 350F and allow 30 to 40 minutes for heating the gratin and browning the cheese.

Low Carb Meatloaf ExtraordinaireThis Low Carb Meatloaf Extraordinaire might be the most beautiful meatloaf you will ever see.  As you slice it, it has green (spinach), prosciutto ham (salmon), carrot (orange), and gruyere cheese (white) visible in each piece.

Any leftover low carb meatloaf extraordinaire can be thinly sliced and used in a sandwich with either butter or mayo on Carbalose Flour Bread

  5. With fingers, press meat mixture over crumbs.
  6. Sprinkle spinach down first then carrots, proscuitto, and top with cheese leaving about ½” at sides.

Notes
  1. Nutritionals include bread crumbs and if you don't want or have the bread crumbs crushed pork skins are a great substitute.
  2. Any good shaved deli ham will serve in place of the proscuitto and it will of course alter the taste a bit.
  3. Any leftovers can be used for fabulous meatloaf sandwiches or portioned & frozen for further dinners.
  4. You can also opt to wrap the meatloaf in bacon cause bacon never hurts anything.

Low Carb Almond Cookies

Leave a reply

Low Carb Almond CookiesLow Carb Almond Cookies.  I was on the website www.realfoodcarolyn.com awhile ago and found a recipe called Awesome Almond Cookies.   She had permission to reprint the recipe but for us diabetics and low carbers it had loads of maple syrup in it so I decided to make them low carb.  All I can say is they are named appropriately and they are awesome. Low carb almond cookies are ridiculously easy and quick to make.

Ingredients
  1. 2 C Almond Flour
  2. ¼ C Arrowroot
  3. 1½ t Baking Powder
  4. 1T Almond Extract
  5. 1 t Vanilla Extract
  6. ½ C Sugar Free Maple Syrup***
  7. ½ C Melted Butter
  8. 8 Drops Liquid Sucralose***
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
  2. Combine dry ingredients.
  3. In separate bowl, combine liquid ingredients.
  4. Add in dry ingredients, mix until smooth and let sit for 10 minutes until thickened as in a soft cookie dough.
  5. Mix again and place by the spoonful (I use a scoop for uniformity) onto a Silpat or parchment lined baking sheet and bake 15-20 minutes or until browning begins at the edges. Cookies will spread and be relatively flat.
  6. Makes 12 large cookies 3½” in diameter or 36 small cookies 2” in diameter.

Notes
  1. I made them large with a #24 (3T) scoop and got exactly 12 cookies and with a #70 scoop (1T) I got exactly 36 so…3 smalls equal 1 large and you are probably less likely to eat 6 smalls than 2 large.

Low Carb Magic Bars

1 Reply

Low Carb Magic BarsLow Carb Magic Bars.  This is my rendition of the famous Eagle Brand recipe for Magic Bars. I personally never count calories because if you are really and truly eating LCHF calories do not matter.  You get and keep that “full feeling” from the fat you are eating.  Now I will admit these are not for the faint of heart if you are paying attention to calories and if you do then these are not for you but man oh man these are good, good, good and if nothing else you can use Step 1 to make Sweetened Condensed Milk. but really, why not just make the low carb magic bars?

I am betting from the number of servings (30) and the size of the pan that one Eagle Brand portion is about the size of a postage stamp.  Good luck on that one.  Apples to Apples about two servings of the original to one of mine with ten times the carb count.  Yikes!

Low Carb Carbalose Cherry Almond Bread Pudding

Leave a reply

Low Carb Carbalose Cherry Almond Bread PuddingLow Carb Carbalose Cherry Almond Bread Pudding. Somewhere long ago and far away I was dabbling in the kitchen (better dabbling than babbling) and just kind of came up with this recipe.  Cherries and almonds are one of those food marriages made in heaven so I thought I would run a yes, high carby version of this as a special dessert item in the restaurant and it was a hit.  People would come back in to have a cup of coffee and bread pudding and I didn’t have it.  So…I decided to put it on the menu permanently and it stayed as a customer favorite.  Here it is in its low carb form and I absolutely cannot tell any difference and since you never had my restaurant version you definitely won’t know either.

Bread pudding, any bread pudding and that includes low carb carbalose cherry almond bread pudding begs for a sauce…any sauce…please, just give me a sauce and this is the way I served it in the restaurant.  So simple…so good…just warm & drizzled with a little heavy cream or better yet Sweetened Condensed Milk

I don’t care how you cut it traditional bread pudding has never been low carb but just a half cup with Carbalose Flour Bread is terrific and even a cup is only 6.8g net carbs and after a filling dinner?…I doubt you could begin to eat a full cup of this.

This is one of my easier recipes to make and you will need Carbalose Flour Bread cubes for it. All my other Carbalose Recipes are listed at the bottom of the Carbalose Informational Page.

Keto Baba Ganoush

2 Replies

Keto Baba GanoushKeto Baba GanoushKeto Baba Ganoush. For the uninitiated, Baba Ganoush is a Middle Eastern eggplant dip. I happen to think this stuff was sent to mankind by the Gods and if you have never had baba ganoush you might go to just about any Middle Eastern restaurant and try it. My prediction…you will love, love, love it-it’s addictive. The idea of the ribbed “waves” is to catch and keep the olive oil in place so if you can make them-please do, or at least make some facsimile of mountains and valleys.

Low Carb Baba GanoushTraditionally keto baba ganoush is smeared around the sides of a shallow bowl with the olives around the perimeter, drizzled with olive oil, and then scooped with torn flatbread or pita but…as low carbers we can not do this so I have given you some terrific alternatives.
Keto Baba Ganoush can be eaten many ways. You can use an olive to scoop a little baba, you can tear a Carbalose Flour Tortillas and scoop with that, you can cut your tortilla into wedges & lightly fry them for use as “pita chips”, you can use red pepper chips, you can use thinly sliced & peel cucumber coins. Don’t want pita chips? Then use Harvarti cheese…but the best way is to use any and all ways.  All combinations of the above work perfectly well as they all compliment the flavor of the baba.  If this doesn’t trip your trigger here is an equally good but different Smoky Eggplant Dip recipe made with my Super LCHF Yogurt, or…full fat store bought.

Baba Ganoush
Print
Ingredients
  1. 1 Large Or Two Medium Eggplants
  2. ¼ C Tahini
  3. 1-2 t Crushed Garlic (More Is Better)
  4. ¼ C Lemon Juice
  5. 2 T Olive Oil (I Use Extra Oil From The Top Of The Tahini)
  6. 1 t Liquid Smoke
  7. ½ t Salt (Or More To Taste)
  8. Olive Oil To Drizzle
  9. Minced Parsley As Garnish
  10. Pinch Sumac As Garnish
Directions
  1. Prick eggplant several places and roast in a 375° oven for about 45-60 minutes or until very soft and totally collapsed. Split hot eggplant down the center and when you can handle it, drain the juices.
  2. Scoop out ALL eggplant guts and put next 6 ingredients in food processor and process for 2 minutes until smooth. Taste and correct any seasoning.
  3. Drizzle with olive oil, garnish with parsley & Kalamata olives.

Notes
  1. How I prepare my eggplant: When the eggplant is finished baking, prop up the head & make a slit all the way through the top and down the front. Let cool for 10-15 minutes and then using the palm of you hand or a large spoon and starting at the top, begin pushing the juice out of it. Repeat this several times until no more comes out. Allow to cool. With a large spoon and a gentle hand, scoop out the pulp making sure you get even all the slimy stuff from the outer skin. Now, taking the crown in your fingers, squeeze the final pulp out of it.
  2. I do this for two reasons 1.) The juice is very sticky and is most of the sugar in an eggplant. 2.) Your final baba will be thicker and easier to scoop.
  3. This is better after being in the fridge a day or so but I’m betting it won’t happen…it tastes way too good to wait.

Low Carb Carbalose Cinnamon Walnut Rolls

Low Carb Carbalose Cinnamon Walnut RollsLow Carb Carbalose Cinnamon Walnut RollsLow Carb Carbalose Cinnamon Walnut RollsLow Carb Carbalose Cinnamon Walnut Rolls. There are thousands of recipes for cinnamon rolls on the internet and maybe only one or two made with Carbalose Flour.  I hope by the time you make these, you find these Low Carb Carbalose Cinnamon Walnut Rolls are the best.

My all-time favorites from long ago and far away were Rich Rum Sticky Buns from The New Basics cookbook by Julee Rosso & Sheila Lukins but alas…I can eat them no more.  To look at my copy of the book you would think it was 60 years old but really-I have only had it 28-30. Things have changed again and I have…finally…come up with Keto Rum Sticky Buns and they are to die for good, and life has changed yet again.

Carbalose Cinnamon Walnut Rolls
Print
Dough
  1. 1½ C Carbalose Flour***
  2. 2 T Coconut Flour
  3. 2 T Golden Flaxseed Meal
  4. 2 T Refined Coconut Oil (Or Butter) (plus 1 t For Oiling Pan)
  5. 2 T Gluten
  6. ½ t Salt
  7. ⅛ t Guar Gum
  8. ⅛ t Xanthan Gum
  9. ½ C Warm Water
  10. 1½ T Yeast
  11. 1 t Sugar
  12. 1 Large Beaten Egg (Reserve 1 T)
  13. ¼ C Warm Heavy Cream
  14. 12 Drops Liquid Sucralose***
  15. ½ t Butter
Filling
  1. 2 C Ground Walnuts (Reserve ½ C)
  2. 2 t Cinnamon
  3. ½ C Allulose Or Sweetener Of Choice
  4. ½ C Soft Butter
Drizzle
  1. 1½ Oz Cream Cheese
  2. 3 T Warm Heavy Cream
  3. 1½ t Vanilla Extract
  4. ¼ C Melted Butter
  5. 6 Drops Liquid Sucralose***
Dough
  1. Put first 8 ingredients in processor.
  2. Bloom yeast with sugar in warm water for 10 minutes.
  3. Add Sucralose to top of bloomed yeast.
  4. Mix egg, reserve 1 T and then add cream.
  5. Add egg mixture to bloomed yeast mixture.
  6. Start processor and add water & yeast and cream & egg mixtures and process for a minute or so.
  7. If needed, add more water 1-2 T at a time.
  8. Carbalose flour is not sticky but eggs are so this time your dough might be a little sticky and as you are forming the rectangle to put into your pan it will then end up pretty much non-sticky.
  9. Since you will be rolling this into a rectangle, place dough in a small bread pan, cover with film and let rise about 15-20 minutes.
  10. Invert dough onto bench floured countertop (or your trusty Silpat which gives you the perfect sizing with an inch overhang all the way around) and roll out rectangle to about 12”x16”.
  11. Brush 2” egg wash around the perimeter of the dough.
  12. Put walnuts, cinnamon, and sweetener in small processor and grind until nuts are pretty fine.
  13. Spread butter on dough, (if you have a small off-set spatula this works perfectly) this time leaving it about ½” around perimeter. Don’t cover all your egg wash as this is your “glue”.
  14. Sprinkle nut filling evenly on butter and roll making sure the bottom is tightly glued.
  15. Again, if you use a Silpat you will not need any bench flour.
  16. If, after you roll your dough and it is not 16” it will easily stretch and if you get any butter-sugar mixture on the counter, put in onto the top of the rolls after cutting and panning. With seam down-gently slice log into 16 rolls about 1” wide.
  17. With last ½ t butter, grease 10"x10" pan make 4 rows of four-making sure the tails are turned inward so they won’t unroll. If using a 9"x13" pan just put in as evenly as possible.
  18. Cover and rise 30-45 minutes. They will not rise too much but they should get a bit taller.
  19. Put rolls in 340° preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown. Cool slightly.
  20. Put cream cheese in small bowl and beat. Add melted butter, Sucralose (or ¼ C Allulose) & vanilla and start adding the warm heavy cream a little at a time until it will “drizzle”.
  21. Pour drizzle all over top and sprinkle with remaining walnut mixture.
  22. Best served warm and if not warm then best just served. These rolls freeze well.

Notes
  1. I have shown a couple of way to make the rolls and these are the differences: In the upper pics they were done in a 9x5 bread pan which of course was deeper and more or less caramelized the rolls because they were only subjected to heat on the top. I use Just Like Sugar in the glaze and by the time I got to it, it had gone into a “frosting like state” so I frosted them instead of using the drizzle. In the lower pics, I used a 9” shallow round glass pie pan while making the drizzle with Allulose instead of "Just Like Sugar “Brown”, hence the caramel color is no more, and warm enough to actually drizzle. The rolls, because of surrounding heat, were a bit firmer on the edges. I also drizzled them while the rolls were right out of the oven so it would soak into them. All I can say they are terrific both ways.
  2. Sorry, but I only do eight rolls at a time because though they freeze perfectly, it would take me 4 months of Sundays to eat them all.
  3. Although to my mind walnuts are traditional, pecans or a combination may be substituted for walnuts.
  4. The rolls will literally slide out of either baking pan you use which is why they show so well on a another pan.

Carbalose Flour Almond Raspberry Braid
Print
Dough
  1. 1½ C Carbalose Flour
  2. 2 T Coconut Flour
  3. 2 T Golden Flaxseed Meal
  4. 2 T Refined Coconut Oil
  5. 1 T Gluten
  6. ½ t Salt
  7. ⅛ t Guar Gum
  8. ⅛ t Xanthan Gum
  9. 1 Large Egg Beaten (Reserve 2 T For Brushing)
  10. ¼ C Heavy Cream
  11. 10 Drops Liquid Sucralose
  12. ½ C Warm Water
  13. 1 T Yeast
  14. 1 t Sugar
Filling
  1. 1 C Sugar Free Raspberry Preserves
Drizzle
  1. 1 ½ oz Cream Cheese
  2. 3 T Warm Heavy Cream
  3. ½ t Vanilla Extract
  4. ¼ t Almond Extract
  5. 1 T Melted Butter
  6. 6-7 Drops Liquid Sucralose
  7. ¼ C Toasted Sliced Almonds
Directions
  1. Put first 8 ingredients in processor.
  2. Bloom yeast with sugar in warm water for 10 minutes.
  3. Add Sucralose to top of bloomed yeast.
  4. Add beaten egg and heavy cream to processor, start, add water & yeast and process at least one minute.
  5. Carbalose flour is not sticky but eggs are so this time your dough might be a little sticky and as you are forming the rectangle to put into your pan it will then end up pretty much non-sticky.
  6. Since you will be rolling this into a rectangle place dough in your bread pan, cover with film and let rise about 30 minutes.
  7. Invert dough onto bench floured countertop and roll out rectangle to about 10”x16”.
  8. Now, leaving center 4” uncut and beginning at the top, cut every ¾” down one side and correspondingly down the other side at about a 60 degree angle. I use a bench scraper for this because it is blunt but it will cut completely through the dough and if you have to use a knife be very careful not to cut your counter.
  9. Spread center 2 ½” with raspberry filling.
  10. Brush about 1” of the inside braid tips with your reserved beaten egg.
  11. Starting, again at the top, bring one braid across filling and cross it with one from the other side all the way down.
  12. OK, here comes the tricky part. If you have help great and most of the time we don’t so…you have to kind of scrunch it up and quickly transfer braid to parchment lined sheet pan. (Or better yet your Silpat) Once you have made the transfer you can re-position and stretch it.
  13. Brush the entire braid with egg wash, cover with film and let rise 15-20 minutes. It may not rise much and it will a little in the oven. You want pastry a bit denser and not bread-like.
  14. Put Braid in 340 degree preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool completely.
  15. Put cream cheese in small bowl and beat. Add melted butter & both extracts and start adding the warm heavy cream a little at a time until it will “drizzle” and then drizzle the top of your braid and sprinkle with toasted almonds. Voila-finished.

Notes
  1. There are certainly other options for your filling. Any sugar free jam would work and any butter, sugar, and ground nut combo would work. So experiment and have fun. An orange glaze on a strawberry filled pastry comes to mind.
  2. If it’s summer and you have access to fresh raspberries the drizzle is wonderful on them too.
  3. **If you decide to use this braid recipe with a savory filling reduce Sucralose to 4 drops.

Low Carb Carbalose Flour Tortillas

Low Carb Carbalose Flour TortillasLow Carb Carbalose Flour Tortillas. Don’t really have much to say about these low carb Carbalose Flour Tortillas except they are beyond delicious and terribly functional.  I have to say, because I am diabetic and know how to cook, that Carbalose flour has been a gift.  I am extremely carb sensitive and this flour does virtually nothing to my blood sugar. Since we are all different and especially if you are diabetic, then you need to check all the Carbalose recipes for yourself.

Carbalose Flour may be purchased from Netrition.

All my other Carbalose Recipes are listed at the bottom of the Carbalose Informational Page.

Carbalose Flour Tortillas
Print
Ingredients
  1. 4 Cups Carbalose Flour*** + More For Bench Flour
  2. ¼ t Guar Gum
  3. ¼ t Xanthan Gum
  4. 1½ t Salt
  5. ½ t Baking Powder (Not Really Needed)
  6. ½ C Real Lard (Or 1 Stick Butter If You Have To)
  7. 2 C Boiling Water
  8. 9 Drops Liquid Sucralose***
Instructions
  1. Place the flour in processor.
  2. Add dry ingredients and fat.
  3. Add Sucralose to water.
  4. Start processor and pour boiling water over the ingredients. Process for about a 1 minute. Dough should be very moist, very soft, and will not be sticky.
  5. Cut the dough into 14-2½ oz. pieces and form into little balls and flatten to a four inch disk with your fingers tips.
  6. Cover your flattened disks and let rest for 20 minutes.
  7. Apply bench flour and starting from the center roll out and then in until you form an oval. Lift up the oval and turn it 45 degrees, and roll it out again. Turn it 45 degrees again to the right until you have an 8” circle (or something resembling one. You want your tortillas as thin as you can get without them tearing.
  8. Place the tortilla on a hot (375-400 degree) griddle pan, or cast-iron skillet. It may or may not forms small bubbles on the upside of the tortilla. When they are just turning brown flip over the tortilla, and if it bubbles or inflates a bit-stick the tip of a knife in them.
  9. I just stack all 14 of these babies one on top of another as they come off the griddle and when I'm finished I wrap the whole stack with film, stick them in a 1 gallon freezer bag and freeze them. Unlike traditional tortillas they do NOT STICK TOGETHER and you can get them straight from the freezer one by one.

Notes
  1. Please note the use of *Sucralose in each of the recipes using Carbalose is only to negate the bitter taste of the flour and DOES NOT make the recipe “sweet”.
  2. If you have a Silpat these can be rolled on it and you will not need the additional bench flour.
  3. Lard is the true secret to real tortillas. Not Crisco and definitely not the hydrogenated crap you can buy in you local grocery store-I’m talking about your own rendered lard which is actually quite easy to do yourself and if not it can be purchased on the internet. In your dreams you cannot imagine how good lard makes a tortilla. It is much better to use butter than either of the other two alternatives.
  4. Don’t forget, you can make your own low carb chips with these. Cut each tortilla into eight wedges, brush lightly with oil, sprinkle with a bit of salt and bake at 350 degrees for 12-15 minutes. You of course can also fry them in oil and…yes this is what I do...in lard or…in tallow. Oh my goodness.
  5. If you tear a tortilla when you are rolling it, just ball it up and start over.

Low Carb Roast Beef SpreadLow Carb Roast Beef SpreadLow Carb Roast Beef Spread. If your husband finds this Roast Beef Spread in the refrigerator he may grab a fork, stand there with the fridge door open, and eat it out of the bowl and…you will scream at him.  This is good on Sour Cream & Chive Crackers or Hazelnut Parmesan Crackers  and if you decide to use this spread in a sandwich you can put it on Naan Flat Bread (pictured) and top it with Pickled Red Onions or spread it on a Carbalose Flour Tortillas and oh yeah, plain, right out of the bowl with a fork.  It’s OK if you do it…just not your husband.  If you prefer to make a really hearty breakfast with your left-over Prime Rib you may wish to try the Roast Beef Hash. Low carb roast beef spread, it’s pretty hard to put your fork down.

Mt. Olive Sugar-Free Bread & Butter Chips (wow are these good) are available on Netrition.

Notes
  1. Another alternative serving suggestion: Put a couple of pieces of lettuce on a small plate and serve as a side salad.
  2. I had occasion to do a prime rib roast but if you slow-cook your own chuck roast and shred it this works wonderfully for this recipe, it’s much less expensive and you may not need to process it.
  3. My best guess is that you will get 8-10 servings from this unless you pile it on a very large sandwich.
  4. If you’ve not had Mt Olive sugar-free bread & butter pickles they are a quick, safe addiction.
  5. I gussied it up a bit with a few pickled red onions & a couple of pickles.
