Low Carb Chocolate CandyLow Carb Chocolate Candy. WARNING!!  Addictive, but then I guess if you need an addiction, chocolate is the best that I know of. You will need a 15 piece silicone chocolate mold for this and Fat Daddio’s has a lot of them and may be seen here: http://www.fatdaddios.com/catalog/silicone-4-0-1

Keto Hamburger

Keto HamburgerKeto HamburgerKeto HamburgerKeto Hamburger. And you thought you couldn’t have a lowcarb keto hamburger anymore?  Well think again-you certainly can!  I use a smoked cheddar cheese. Dorset Red and comes from Ford Farms in Dorset, England.  This is the real deal and by far the best smoked cheddar I have ever eaten. Lettuce too much, skip it and add pork skins as a side. If you really think you need a bun you can make them from Carbalose Flour Bread

Notes
  1. There are two secrets to a really good flank steak. The first is that it be cooked no more than medium-rare (I like very rare) and the second is that it is very thinly cut across the grain. I try to cut at a 45 degree angle and not more than a ¼” thick.
  2. The proportions can be adjusted to suit your preference of butter vs cheese, or if you want to knock out the slight sharpness of straight bleu then use Gorgonzola instead.
  3. You could also use shallots in place of the green onions. I have tried it both ways but much prefer the green onions.

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.

  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

Leave a reply

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.

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

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.

Keto New England Clam Chowder

Leave a reply

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.
