Low Carb Puttanesca Sauce

Leave a reply

Low Carb Puttanesca SauceLow Carb Puttanesca SauceLow Carb Puttanesca Sauce. While the word Puttanesca Sauce may or may not have some rather dubious origins, which you can look up if you wish, the bottom line is: It should be quite robust and flavorful and as you look at the list of ingredients you might imagine this to be true. It is extremely pungent and is said to have drawn men in off the streets.  So use a little imagination here.

Low Carb Puttanesca SauceThere are so many ways to use low carb puttanesca sauce and here are just a few suggestions: Obviously over spaghetti squash, with nicely sautéed chicken, or with any numbers of different fish. If you opt to use it over spaghetti squash it will serve four and will also serve four with a double recipe of Spaetzle noodles. If used with chicken or fish you should get 6-8 servings and I have listed nutritionals for all. If you decide to use with fish you can serve a large wedge of lemon along side.

Keto Huli Huli Chicken

Leave a reply

Keto Huli Huli ChickenKeto Huli Huli ChickenKeto Huli Huli Chicken. The origins of Keto Huli Huli Chicken come from Hawaiian Ernest Morgado. It’s traditionally cooked on huge open-air BBQs to serve 100’s of people and went on to become the food of choice for many Hawaiian school & charity fundraisers. It’s a terrific sweet & spicy BBQ sauce for pork ribs and pulled pork.  Left out pineapple for obvious reasons and I doubt, since many of you have never had huli huli chicken anyway, you’d never have known if I hadn’t told.

  1. This is also a very suitable dish done outside on your BBQ grill but inside or out, it is fantastic.
  2. If truth be told and the thighs are small I can eat two of these puppies and given the nutritionals-no biggie & I'm a piggie.
  3. If you are having this for company and for more that 6 people, just do eight thighs because the sauce should accommodate 2 more.

Low Carb Cauliflower Bacon Quinoa Salad

Leave a reply

Cauliflower Bacon Quinoa SaladLow Carb Cauliflower Bacon Quinoa Salad.  Quinoa is one of 10-12 ancient grains and has become something of a darling in the last 5-7 years and probably because it’s gluten free. The problem for low carbers is still its high carb content. This low carb cauliflower bacon quinoa salad is a very quickly made recipe to accompany a last minute meal. If you like this, you will also like my Cauliflower Tabbouleh which is different, a bit more complicated, and uses more ingredients. Will this taste like a classic quinoa? No, but pretty danged close.

Keto Sweet Spicy Asian Chicken Wings

Leave a reply

Low Carb Sweet And Spicy Asian Chicken WingsKeto Sweet Spicy Asian Chicken Wings are the second wings recipe on the site and they are so good I had to share them.  I don’t design paleo dishes but sometimes they just turn out that way. Since moving to Portland, OR I had come to love Asian food of just about any kind but then that diabetes stuff just stepped in and stopped me until I found better ways to fix them.  Unfortunately, most Asian foods are laden with sugar…but not these little Keto Sweet Spicy Asian Chicken Wings puppies.

You could make these as boneless wings with cut up thigh meat but I think part of the charm of wings is the slower eating with the bones in tack and anyway, too much of our meats come without bones.  The sauce will not be thick since there is no sugar in it so serve it to the side and dip your wings.  Use them as an appetizer and make a complete Asian dinner with a small Thai Salad/Sweet & Spicy Peanut Sauce & Crab Rangoon Bundles/Asian Drizzle

Low Carb Bacon Almond Avocado Salad

Leave a reply

Low Carb Bacon Almond Avocado SaladLow Carb Bacon Almond Avocado Salad. Another terrific salad, this time from my friend Carole. She has actually given me several recipes over the months as she and her husband eat a lot of salad, and I mean a lot of salad. They are confessed saladholics. How that for a word? It shows up as misspelled and I’m still using it. Anyway, as I pretty much do, I changed it to my own suiting, it’s paleo, and I hope you like this low carb bacon almond avocado salad. The slivered almonds were toasted in duck fat because…I just happened to have some so, there are two fats instead of just the bacon fat.

Low Carb Cauliflower Tabbouleh

Leave a reply

Low Carb Cauliflower TabboulehLow Carb Cauliflower Tabbouleh. Traditional tabbouleh is actually kind of an herb salad with not so much bulgur and as we Americans have made it, it now does not really resemble any true Middle Eastern versions. But hey, now here’s the deal. I am an American and this is closer to our version than theirs. Anyway, the idea is eat a good tasting clean salad and this is that. Any and all of the ingredients may be changed.  By the time you are finished with this dish you may not even recognize it as cauliflower. There are so many other compatible flavors which when blended, make this one tasty side salad and as I know low carb cauliflower tabbouleh, this will be far healthier than the boxed stuff we are all familiar with.  As I said, it is not a “wheat salad”  it is a low carb cauliflower tabbouleh herb salad with a little “cauliflower bulgur” in it.

If you are so inclined, and for more wonderful tabbouleh recipes that you can healthify with cauliflower for yourself, here is a list of them and in fact my recipe seems closely related to The Greek Island Tabbouleh

Cauliflower Tabbouleh

Ingredients
  1. 4 C Blanched, Drained, Cooled & Riced Cauliflower (Always Include The Core)
  2. 1 C Peeled, De-Seeded And Chopped Cucumber
  3. ¾ C Chopped Mint Leaves (Spearmint) (Or 3-4T Dried Mint)
  4. ½ C Chopped Curly Leaf Parsley
  5. ½ C Pitted And Chopped Kalamata Olives
  6. ½ C Finely Chopped Orange Peppers, Yellow Peppers, Or Both
  7. ⅓ C Thinly Cut Green Onion Tops
  8. ⅓ C Quartered Cherry Tomatoes
  9. ⅓ C Finely Chopped Red Onion
  10. ¼ C Olive Oil
  11. ¼ C Lemon Juice
  12. ½ t Crushed Garlic (Optional)
  13. 1 t Apple Cider Vinegar (Or Red Wine Vinegar)
  14. ¼ t Allspice
  15. ½ t Pepper
  16. 1 t Salt (For Later)
Instructions
  1. Blend first 9 ingredients in large bowl.
  2. In a smaller bowl mix next 6 ingredients and blend into vegetables.
  3. May be refrigerated* or served immediately.
  4. Just before you are ready to serve your tabbouleh sprinkle and mix in the salt or better yet let people do it themselves. Not all, but most of the veggies will weep anyway and if you salt and then refrigerate you will have even more. Now this is not necessarily bad, it just is. Salt leaches out liquids plain & simple. If you end up with weepy tabbouleh even without salt, just drain it.

Low Carb Wilted Spinach SaladLow Carb Wilted Spinach Salad. This is a pretty standard Wilted Spinach Salad recipe and sometimes we just need to be reminded of the many different salad choices we have. This couldn’t be too much easier.  I think for a bit of crunchy goodness, this would be enhanced with toasted sliced almonds and I have added them into the recipe.  As you can see I grated my egg. More SURFACE AREA , more taste. I know you’ve had this so…have it again.

Low Carb Bacon Egg Spinach And Onion Salad

Leave a reply

Low Carb Bacon Egg Spinach And Onion SaladLow Carb Bacon Egg Spinach And Onion SaladLow Carb Bacon Egg Spinach And Onion Salad. There is a very funny true story which leads to the recipe.  Way back in the day I often had a hard time being invited to anyone’s house for dinner because of the way I cooked.  Sadly, my insecure friends were intimidated. They had all been to my house for dinner multiple times and were convinced they could not make something suitable that I would eat. I finally just kinda got mad and told them that I loved pot roast, pretty much thinking anyone can fix an edible pot roast and until they invited me for dinner I would not have them over again.  Sooo, my friend Carol said she could make a pretty good one and invited me for dinner and WOW, don’t always believe someone when they say they make a pretty mean pot roast because I am here to tell you her pot roast was mean and not in such a good way. Apparently she put a frozen chunk of meat in her slow cooker at 2:00 in the afternoon and I was to come at 5:30. When I got there the roast was still frozen in the center and would probably have needed another 4-5 hours to cook. Oh Lordy, and what to do. I got on the phone to our local grocery that spit-cooked X number of chickens per day and yes, I asked them to hold the last one while I drove over to pick it up. Meanwhile Carol peeled and started cooking the potatoes. We (I) had decided mashed might be better. Well we ate that chicken with mashed potatoes at about 7:00 but laugh? Oh yeah, we laughed alright and to this day nearly 25 yrs. later we still laugh about it. Did Carol ever finally make pot roast for me? Not on your life.

After I had moved I met other people who could cook and were not in the least bit worried about serving me a terrific meal and Dorothy was one of those people. I asked for her salad Low Carb Bacon Egg Spinach And Onion Salad and here it is. The only things I have subbed are toasted almonds in place of water chestnuts, a sugar-free ketchup and Allulose which is zero carb and paleo.

Low Carb Chocolate Brownie Cookies

Leave a reply

Low Carb Chocolate Brownie CookiesLow Carb Chocolate Brownie Cookies. The recipe for Mocha Zucchini Brownies/Mocha Ganache was just a happy mistake but these chocolate brownie cookies where definitely not. I don’t make many cookie recipes but as I was sitting on the couch last night thinking (about food) it came to me if you made a mistake with the brownies could you make a good brownie cookie on purpose? I got to work first thing in the morning and the answer was a resounding yes.

I’m betting if you made these for your kids (which that includes a kid husband) and left these low carb chocolate brownie cookies on the counter?…they would disappear as if by magic.

Chocolate Brownie Cookies
Print
Cookies
  1. 1 C Finely Shredded Zucchini
  2. ¼ C Coconut Flour
  3. ¼ C Cocoa Powder
  4. ¾ C Allulose
  5. 1 t Baking Powder
  6. 2 T Melted Butter
  7. 2 T Melted Coconut Oil
  8. 2 Eggs
  9. 1 t Vanilla
  10. 2 T Sour Cream
  11. ¾ C Chopped Walnuts
Ganache
  1. ¼ C Heavy Cream
  2. ¼ C Sugar Free Chocolate Chips
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350°.
  2. Mix coconut flour, cocoa, and baking powder.
  3. Beat eggs, sour cream, coconut oil, and butter.
  4. Beat in Allulose & vanilla until well mixed and blend into dry ingredients.
  5. Stir in zucchini & walnuts.
  6. Using a 2 T scoop place 12 dough balls on a Silpat or a parchment lined ½ sheet pan.
  7. Bake 13-14 minutes and immediately remove to wire rack to cool.
Ganache
  1. Heat heavy cream to boil, remove from heat & add chocolate chips. Mix until chocolate is totally incorporated.
  2. (This Would Be The Time To Add Any Additional Flavorings)
  3. Top cooled (frozen*) cookies with ganache.
  4. If by chance you have one of those cheap squeeze bottles (I do) this is the time to use it as the ganache is easily controllable.
  5. 12 Servings
  6. 125 Calories, 3.4g Protein, 10.7g Fat, 3.9g Carbs, 2.0g Fiber, 1.9g Net Carbs
Notes
  1. Work quickly. Once you have added the zucchini to the dough it can tend to become watery so do not dilly dally around. Stick in the oven immediately.
  2. Suggestion: If you let your zucchini sit out on the counter for 3-4 days they begin to lose some of their moisture and for this particular recipe it's a good thing as that moisture can make the cookies spread more than they otherwise would. But a little spread or not these are fantastic.
  3. Each brownie cookie is a pretty good size at about 3" in diameter.
  4. If you do not have a fine grater for the zucchini you can process or chop it a bit after grating. The idea is to not have long strands of zucchini.
  5. I freeze* my cookies first so that when I drizzle on the ganache it becomes hard quickly.

In case you haven’t noticed I DO eat raw beef from time to time (think Carpaccio) and this is one I eat a lot.  Every time I see it on a restaurant menu which is not so often anymore I order it, and for as many times as I have ordered it, it is always different and I have to say I like my own recipe best. If you see it at all it is usually served with a raw egg or quail yolk but what the hey, I just blend it all together.  Steak Tartare is also always served with some kind of bread or toast but I just eat the meat and savor the flavor.  To tell the truth this is one of the few times I might use my own recipe for Carbalose Flour Bread and the bread is totally optional.  Another nice lowcarb option would be to serve and spread it on endive.

There are many beautiful ways to present a keto steak tartare.  Some restaurants prepare the meat and then artfully add the other ingredients around it but for our purposes we are going to just gently mix all the ingredients and…eat it.

Low Carb Angels On Horseback

Low Carb Angels On HorsebackLow Carb Angels On Horseback. Back in the day there was a restaurant in Durango, CO that served these. They came on buttered toast points and ye gads I was in love L.U.V. As an appetizer they are so easy to make, I mean look at the ingredients. You will need fresh oysters as canned are already cooked and these are cooked. They can be made in a very hot oven or broiled but are really at their best & highest flavor done on a small blazing hot grill and particularly good dipped in Remoulade.
