Keto Greek Chicken Drumsticks

Leave a reply

Mediterranean Greek Chicken DrumsticksKeto Greek Chicken Drumsticks. Oregano? Rosemary? Garlic? Olive Oil? What’s not to like with a combo like that?  There are several other ways to fix chicken drumsticks and I will get to them a little later.  If you have kids they are going to love them, and you are going to love how ridiculously easy they are.  I needed four thighs for a dinner I was doing, the whole legs were on sale so…I had Frankie cut off the drumsticks and de-bone the thighs but leave the skin on.  What a bargain at $2.50/lb. minus my “geriatric day” 10% discount. Who says keto needs to be expensive?  So, the next time you think of drumsticks think Keto Greek Chicken Drumsticks. If you are interested in visiting other countries around the world you may also like  Asian,  Mexican, or Italian drumsticks.  They are all wonderful and of course, as I said, very kid friendly.

Keto Tomato Cucumber Rounds

Leave a reply

Keto Tomato Cucumber RoundsKeto Tomato Cucumber RoundsKeto Tomato Cucumber RoundsKeto Tomato Cucumber Rounds.  I don’t know if anyone who reads and/or uses the recipes on this site has noticed this or not, but I do not have any categories under breakfast or snacks and I have lots of recipes under Appetizers,  Salads, and a few others under Odd Balls.  I personally do not believe in eating snacks and I pretty much eat once a day at around 3:00-4:00 in the afternoon.  I have eaten this way most all my adult life and about the only things that have changed are the amounts and to a lesser extent, what I eat.  This recipe is one that I would put under appetizers but it is actually eaten all over the Mediterranean and Middle East nearly everyday for breakfast. Yes, there are a few variations but not too many.  They eat pita bread and certainly lots of cheese.  People use the spices shown in copious amounts for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.  I didn’t use olives because they are easier to eat with your fingers without them, and olives are always pretty much used as a scoop and conveyance vehicle for dips like hummus, real yogurt etc.  When I was in Dubai in 2010 I was introduced to this breakfast and have eaten and loved it ever since.  Me?  I eat mine as dinner-in a bowl-or…sometimes make it for dinner guests as shown-or…eat it as my salad.

These Keto Tomato Cucumber Rounds should be about 2-3 bites so be careful as you eat them because they are so good, you may end up like me, stuffing yourself with no room left for dinner. As an appetizer I would allow two rounds, as breakfast four rounds, as salad whatever you can get on the plate, and as dinner in a bowl, just pile it in there.  I try to take pictures before adding olive oil because it makes them so dark but rest assured…I do use it.

  1. Slice each tomato into 8 ⅛” rounds trying to get 8 slices per tomato. Plate.
  2. Partially peel cucumber, slice into 16 rounds, spread top with 1 t labne and place on top of tomato.
  3. Lightly salt labne.

Notes
  1. I don’t know how to tell you to use yogurt other than what I am showing. For the most part American yogurt, is too thin and watery so all I can say, you need a good quality thick high fat yogurt.
  2. Now, in Mediterranean and Middle East cuisine all of this would be drizzled copiously with olive oil and you may surely do this and it makes it a little less easy to eat with your fingers but hey, just lick you fingers.
  3. You serve this to anyone and they are going to KNOW they have had something different from what they have every had before.

Low Carb Asian Marinated Pork ChopsLow Carb Asian Marinated Pork ChopsLow Carb Asian Marinated Pork Chops. Asian anything is always OK with me but these low carb Asian marinated pork chops are over the top as far as flavor goes, they couldn’t be much easier to make, and they don’t take all day to soak in some marinade.  Marinate 10-15 minutes tops, cook, and dinner on the table.

Ingredients
  1. 8 Boneless Pork Chops 6-8 Oz Each And At Least 1” Thick
  2. 1 C Tamari
  3. ½ C Allulose***
  4. 1 T Garlic Paste***
  5. 1 T Cumin
  6. 1 t Ginger powder
  7. 1 t Chili Powder
  8. 3 T Butter Divided
  9. ½ C Cilantro
  10. ¼ C Green Onion Tops
  11. ¼ C Jalapenos
  12. 2 Small Limes
Instructions
  1. Bring chops to room temperature.
  2. Don’t care what kind of pork chop you use but in order to keep them flat you will need to score the fat, the connective cord and barely into the meat of the chop. This will keep any chop (or steak) flat while cooking. (See Picture).
  3. Prep cilantro, green onions and quarter limes.
  4. Combine all ingredients down through the chili powder and mix thoroughly.
  5. Add chops, spoon with sauce, turn and spoon over again.
  6. Let sit 10 minutes, turn and spoon over one more time.
  7. With heat on low, cook marinade sauce.
  8. Swirl in 2 T butter one at a time. This will thicken the sauce.
  9. Heat remaining butter to brown, add chops, cook 4 minutes, turn, cook 3-4 additional minutes and plate.
  10. Drizzle sauce over each chop and garnish with jalapenos, cilantro, green onions and one wedge of lime.

Rib Rub

Leave a reply

Rib RubRib RubRib RubRib RubRib Rub.  I have never been much of a fan of sweet BBQ sauces but a good dry keto rib rub?  Uh…yep, sign me up Scotty. This is so easy it’s ridiculous.  I don’t use any kind of vinegar mop, just a plain ole rub which is not even “rubbed” into the meat- only sprinkled liberally.  The ingredients below are for pork ribs and/or pulled pork but can easily be used on chicken too.  The recipe is for several full pork rib racks so if you don’t use it all it will last nearly forever and if you are going to need more then you can just double or triple the recipe.  Yes, it has a bit of zerocarb Allulose to temper the heat, but this is really a savory rather than any drop-dead sweet concoction and remember, any or all of these ingredients can be adjusted to your taste buds. For me, I want to be able to taste my pork ribs (or any meat for that matter) and not drown them out with heat or sweet.  Ye Gads and oh, the kitchen smells this will generate.  I am sitting here writing this post and all I can smell is…the keto rib rub.

Notice there is no smoked flavor except what you will get in the chipotle powder.  Paprika is used in most rubs and at least for me, it is just a filler and not much of a flavor enhancer.  If you like it then by all means, please use some.

Keto Yellow Squash Soup

Leave a reply

Keto Yellow Squash SoupKeto Yellow Squash SoupKeto Yellow Squash Soup.  Only in your dreams could you imagine such a delicious soup that is this easy. Throughout the summer I eat yellow squash in all kinds of ways and this is just yet another.  It is light and can be served cool, warmed or hot.  If served cool it is perfect for an outdoors picnic and it is filling because of the high fat content.  You will see ground pepper in the recipe but I actually prefer Aleppo pepper for many reasons, not the least of which because of its beautiful dark red color and if you ever get an opportunity to buy it-DO. It is that good and available in any Middle Eastern grocery.  Here in Portland, Oregon it is available in bulk so I can buy a pound anytime I want to.  Only use Amazon as a last, last, last resort.  They have a 2 oz. package for something like $10-$12 which is ridiculous.  So, if you want a terrific soup to eat in each season of the year, this keto yellow squash soup is for you.

  2. Add chopped squash, chicken base and water to onions and simmer until soft or about 15-18 minutes.
  3. Take off heat and with a stick blender whir until you get the texture you want. My opinion is not to make it totally smooth but to leave a small bit of chunkiness to it.
  4. Stir in heavy cream and bring back to temperature if serving hot-otherwise taste, correct seasoning and it's ready to go.
  5. Add soup to bowl, drizzle with olive oil and freshly ground pepper.

Keto Scalloped Daikon Radishes

Leave a reply

Keto Scalloped Daikon RadishesKeto Scalloped Daikon RadishesKeto Scalloped Daikon RadishesKeto Scalloped Daikon RadishesKeto Scalloped Daikon RadishesKeto Scalloped Daikon Radishes.  So…we had a new Eastern European Market open here in Portland, I went to see what it was about but what I was really looking for was veal-in any form I could get it.  No primal cuts of any kind but they did have veal sausages (what I would call real bratwurst or weisswurst) but I had never seen nor tasted veal baloney so I bought some.  Oh for heaven’s sake.  To best describe it I would call the consistency a combination of heavy cream and butter-it is that creamy-anyway to die for.  Just because I could, I also bought some black radishes and when I got home, I decided to use a combo of both, coming up with this keto scalloped daikon radishes recipe.  What? You ask. The recipe says daikon radishes.  Well, here’s the deal.  I did make it with the black radishes but they were large, a little tough, and took forever to cook, so I switched the recipe to daikon radish which will par-boil and soften in about 15-20 minutes or, about the same time it takes to boil potatoes for scalloping.

This Keto Scalloped Daikon Radishes recipe is a take on one of my old (cheap) college favorites. Back in the day and in my case the late 60’s, one of the least expensive foods you could buy were potatoes. At the time, potatoes were about .49 for a 10 lb. bag and ham was about .49 per lb. So if you think about it this recipe was a really inexpensive way to serve 4-6 hungry college students.  The recipe card calls for cubed ham since I’m pretty sure you won’t find veal baloney anywhere anytime soon.

Scalloped Daikon Radishes
Print
Ingredients
  1. 2 Lbs Cut ¹⁄₁₆" Sliced Daikon Radish. I Quarter Them After Slicing (On A Mandoline). The Idea Is To Have Pretty Much Bite And Evenly Sized Pieces.
  2. ½ Lb Good Quality Cubed Ham And Shaved Is Good Too. (No Water Added Ham If Possible)
  3. 4 Oz Shredded Gruyere Cheese (Cheddar Works Too but Gruyere Gives The Best Flavor)
  4. 1 Small Diced Onion
  5. 1½ C Heavy Cream
  6. ¼ C Green Onion Tops
  7. 1 T Butter (Divided)
  8. 2 t Dry Mustard Powder
  9. 2 t Chicken Base
  10. ¼ C Parmesan Cheese
  11. ¼ C Pork Rind Dust
  12. 1 t Pepper
Instructions
  1. When ready, preheat oven to 350°.
  2. Peel & slice daikon radishes, cover and simmer until fork tender 15-20 minutes depending on how thick you cut them. They should look translucent as the pic shows. Drain well and put into a large bowl.
  3. Quickly sauté ham in 1 t butter and add to radishes.
  4. Sauté onion in remaining butter until just softened and add to bowl.
  5. Add ½ cheese and green onions to bowl & mix well.
  6. Heat heavy cream, mustard powder, pepper, and chicken base & reduce slightly.
  7. Pour cream mixture into bowl and mix well.
  8. Mix Parmesan cheese and ground pork rinds.
  9. Put into glass casserole dish, top with remaining cheese, and top all with Parmesan cheese mix.
  10. Put into oven and bake until bubbly around all the edges and topping is lightly browned.

Notes
  1. I make this all at once so the ingredients are still warm and so that the topping will not over brown. You can easily let this all sit on the counter for a while but if it gets cold, turn oven to 325° so topping will not over-brown before casserole is finished heating.
  2. I needed to sprinkle paprika to take pictures for contrast, otherwise all I got was white which is why there is no paprika in the ingredients list.

Keto Loaded Red Radishes

Keto Loaded Red RadishesKeto Loaded Red RadishesKeto Loaded Red RadishesKeto Loaded Red Radishes.  Not long ago I did a recipe for Smashed Red Radishes and that recipe led to this one.  I’ll not bore you with how I got to them but you can read all about it on the other recipe.  Of course this is a take on what might be hashed brown potatoes with nearly none of the carbs and with a couple of eggs on top, and with some bacon or sausage, this makes a terrific power-punched breakfast or in my case, dinner.  After these keto loaded red radishes I will be done with red radish recipes, at least for awhile, and I am hoping you can see by now that they make a great, versatile potato substitute.

The only thing I can think of that they are no so good for is mashing.  They look like some kind of pink applesauce with salt, pepper, and butter.  Tasted great but it’s kind of hard to get past the look and your kids;  would probable think they were pretty nifty.

Keto Smashed Red Radishes

Leave a reply

Smashed Red RadishesSmashed Red RadishesSmashed Red RadishesKeto Smashed Red Radishes.  Man are these good.  I had eaten at The Country Cat here in Portland and ordered the bacon duck meatloaf that came with onion, mushrooms & smashed potatoes.  Sadly, I gave them to a friend because I don’t eat potatoes but when I got home I thought they might be the perfect thing to do with red radishes.  Interestingly, I had done a couple of plain ole sous-vide eggs as a test and they were so good I was going to have them again with a sausage and some sautéed cauliflower rice. Oops, and plans changed.  I had some leftover meatloaf and also some of the house made restaurant sausage with a cheese spread we had ordered so what you see in the bowl are my leftovers, keto smashed red radishes, more of those unbelievable sous-vide eggs and wow, what a mélange of food flavors.

The smashed red radishes were supposed to be the star of the show, and they are, but the whole combo of foods was an absolute knockout. If you ever get to Portland, Oregon The Country Cat is what I would call “A Best Of PDX Restaurant”.  The chef owners Adam and Jackie Sappington have been featured on many of the foodie TV shows and are killer when it comes to butchering their own pork.  Anyway…

I will be making more of these in the very near future and the next time will be not only with mushrooms and onions but I will be topping them with cheese, bacon, sour cream, and green onions and calling them “loaded” so-the last sentence is just a heads-up.  Put a couple eggs on top, a side of bacon or sausage, and have at it for breakfast.

Keto Sticky Toffee Pudding

Leave a reply

Keto Sticky Toffee PuddingKeto Sticky Toffee PuddingKeto Sticky Toffee PuddingKeto Sticky Toffee Pudding.  Not sure how this recipe came about but I had been thinking about a sticky toffee pudding cake I used to make for a restaurant I worked in.  I used to tell people who ordered it for the first time that it would be free if…they could guess the sweetening ingredient in it.  I never did have to give a free piece away although I did hear some pretty funny answers.  Now if I had been in England I’d have lost every time as it is a favorite dessert there, on the menu in many a pub, and made with dates-lots and lots of dates.  I have to say it was disgustingly good but oh, the carb counts, they must have been horrendous and I have seen anywhere from between 66g and 80g.  So this is my rendition of a keto sticky toffee pudding and I think you will find it quite easy to make but most of all…you will love it.

Notes
  1. This is a very dense, rich dessert and I would suggest you not eat a very large piece to begin with. I personally would (and did) cut it into 12 pieces and if you need more-have another piece. It may take a while but after dinner and a piece of this pudding it will hit you and could make you feel very full.
  2. CAVEAT: I use the ingredients that I feel are the best available, for me personally. If you decide to make this (and I sure hope you do) I am unable to vouch for substitute sweeteners. I have multiple reasons for NOT using eryritol with or without oligosaccharides, food grade glycerin, or anything with probiotic tapioca fiber. None of them are as low in carbs as you may have been lead to believe.
  3. I do occasionally used EZ-Sweetz liquid Sucralose as it adds a different depth of sweetness rather than leaving something one dimensional and neither of the products used here have any carbs in them no matter how much you use. None of the above mentioned can begin to say that which is why you see a nutritional label for 1 t or God forbid ½ t.

Keto Ahi Tuna TartareKeto Ahi Tuna TartareKeto Ahi Tuna Tartare. Maybe better known as Poke (poh-kay) but this one is molded instead of served in a bowl.  Wouldn’t you figure that if I ate Carpaccio and Steak Tartare that I would also eat raw ahi tuna?  Well, that would be me and uh, millions of other people.  A very simple dish to make and this is an elegant presentation whether served as an appetizer or main course and I personally ate mine as my main dinner.  Sometimes all you need is a little nudge to try something new and I am here to give you that little nudge and to try some keto ahi tuna tartare.

Keto Red Radish Potato Salad

Leave a reply

Red Radish Potato SaladRed Radish Potato SaladKeto Red Radish Potato Salad.  No, and not made with any potatoes but you will never, ever know.  It looks like potato salad, it tastes like potato salad but…it has no potatoes-go figure.  The first “potato” salad recipe I put up was made with daikon radish but this is easier in that it does not take as long to cook red radishes and…it really does look like it was made with little red potatoes.  It’s summer now, lots of people are cooking out and picnicking, so this dandy little number is perfect timing.  Good with hamburgers, hot dogs, Fried Chicken, and the sky’s the limits.

For those of you who see that little bottle of Spike in the picture?  It is divine in this keto red radish potato salad, can be found in nearly all grocery stores and if you make egg salad it is the perfect blend of spices to add.  I listed salt below but if you have Spike I would use it~and do.

All my many other Keto~LowCarb Daikon Or Red Radishes As Potatoes Recipes may be seen here.

Ingredients
  1. 1½ Lb Red Radishes Cut Into Quarters Unless They Are Small-Cut In Half (The Idea Is To Make Your Cuts Bite Size)

  4. ½ C Finely Chopped Celery
  5. ⅓ C Finely Chopped Purple Onion

  8. ½ t Paprika

Notes
  1. This should be part of any picnicking venture you may undertake during the summer although, I will say it is good anytime.
  2. I want to say that I made this with red radishes for the authentic look but if you don't care about the redish look, daikon radishes are much less expensive and will taste EXACTLY the same.
