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.

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

  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 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 Asian Onion Relish

Leave a reply

Keto Asian Onion RelishKeto Asian Onion RelishKeto Asian Onion Relish. If you like onions this is heavenly.  Not something you eat a ton of at any given time, but it goes really well as a side dish to a lot of meats and particularly  well with Crispy Pork Belly.  It is very easy and made in about 10 minutes at most.  It should be refrigerated for 2-3 hours but that doesn’t count in any prep time. You can make it in the morning and have it ready for dinner.  The Asians seem to have a gift for making foods that are sweet, sour, bitter and salty with a little umami thrown in and this has it all.  Anytime you are using even a little soy sauce you are going to get umami and as I said, keto Asian onion relish has it all.  I had already named this as keto before I realized it was not.  It is actually low carb but the actual fat content percentage is only 35% just so you know.

  1. For as little sesame oil as most recipes call for please, make sure it is 100% sesame oil and not mixed with some other seed oils which is definitely not cool.
  2. This is a pretty spicy little number but if you want even more add more red pepper flakes as appropriate.
  3. If you don't already have a good sesame oil then by all means please use olive oil instead. It will not have the intense flavor of sesame but it is pretty danged good and the idea is that it is an onion relish and the flavor of onions will come through loud and clear.

Keto Dilled Red Radishes

Leave a reply

Keto Dilled Red RadishesKeto Dilled Red RadishesKeto Dilled Red RadishesKeto Dilled Red Radishes.  I am in the process of adding new recipes for red radishes as potato substitutes and this keto dilled red radishes recipe is a dilly. Yeah, I think I’m so funny.  Anyway, I used to make Dilled Celery Root which of course has its own unique flavor and I think red radishes make an even better sub for this vegetable dish because it has a more neutral flavor, is more akin to potatoes, and certainly looks more like little red potatoes.  I love celery root but for the average guy it is more difficult to work with and hey, everybody knows what red radishes are. The recipe is so easy it’s ridiculous so…if you like potatoes (and butter) you will love these.  At this point there is one other recipe using red radishes, Garlic Rosemary Roasted Radishes, and I hope you get the idea that for any other recipe on this site that uses daikon radishes (and there are many), you can sub red radishes.  One other note:  Red radishes take about one third the time to cook as daikons and when you are cooking for your hungry family, time means a lot.  In my opinion the very best pairing with these keto dilled red potatoes is Stuffed Shrimp though they go with pretty much anything.

Keto Mushroom GrilladesKeto Mushroom GrilladesKeto Mushroom Grillades

Keto Mushroom Grillades. Somewhere on this huge site I have a recipe for Low Carb Grillades Over Cheesy Cauliflower Grits and for this recipe I have subbed mushrooms for the beef.  Despite the list of ingredients, it is very easy to make, and is a terrific side dish to just about any meal. (Or meat).  I have not listed it with the cheesy cauliflower grits but if you want them, then by all means use them for a great meatless meal.  I most often eat a meat of some sort with dinner but that is totally up to you.  I consider cremini and portobello mushrooms as a good stand-in for meat so…please, use your own best judgment.  Speaking of meat (who me)?  If you don’t think a good steak (or chicken or pork) nestled on top of these keto mushroom grillades isn’t good~please, think again.  Be sure you get “fresh” creminis. The ones I bought were particularly small but as it turns out were the perfect size for the dish.  If they are “open” and the gills are black, they are well past any prime-time playing.  I guarantee that you don’t want to clean out the gills and you might as well buy portobellos.

Keto Garlic Rosemary Roasted Radishes

Garlic Rosemary Roasted RadishesGarlic Rosemary Roasted RadishesKeto Garlic Rosemary Roasted Radishes.  I have a lot of recipes using diakon radish as a fabulous potato substitute but for some reason no red radish recipes.  Red radishes are at least as easy to use and cook and are perfect for keto garlic rosemary roasted radishes.  I boil mine to get ahead of the roasting game but no matter what, they are going to lose some of their color.  These are a great accompaniment to a roasted rack of lamb but I didn’t have any lamb (I did the second time) so I did them with a big fat juicy pork chop topped with tons of what else…garlic and then sprinkled with my Italian Dipping Oil Herbs which I use and sprinkle on all kinds of things.  That other little smidgen of food on the plate is leftover Lemon Bacon Cabbage.

Keto Zaatar Salad

Leave a reply

Keto Zaatar SaladKeto Zaatar SaladKeto Zaatar Salad.  Many times it is not a recipe per se that is from a particular region of the world, but the spices that go into it that make it.  If you knew just some of the main Middle Eastern spices, tasted this, you might guess the salad came from somewhere in Africa or the Middle East.  In this case it is the za’atar that gives it away.  Yes, it is a spice blend but it is also a condiment on every table.  It is dipped into and sprinkled on everything.  It is also baked into breads, put into dips and sprinkled on eggs, and used as a rub on meats. Sumac is another oft used Middle Eastern spice.  It is a beautiful dark red in color with the taste of a kind of tart lemon.  Black seeds (Nigella Sativa) and not to be confused with black sesame seeds, are another to die for condiment on African and Middle Eastern tables and if you happen to have them they are perfect sprinkled on this salad. Pine nuts are a symbol of love and care for the people being fed as well as showing that the husband is capable of caring for his family.  Yes, pine nuts are expensive all over the world.  I try to eat zaatar 4-5 times a week and this keto zaatar salad is only one of them.  I most often put in on eggplant.

Keto Caramelized Vietnamese Chicken

Leave a reply

Keto Caramelized Vietnamese ChickenKeto Caramelized Vietnamese Chicken.  I have done this with boneless skin-on chicken thighs which are my favorite parts of a chicken but any part(s) will work.  I can easily bone my own thighs because I want the skin on but it’s totally not necessary.  I also shop in a grocery that will de-bone them for me at no extra charge so to save work I am now having that done.  Bottom line:  You want skin-on thighs and it does not matter if the bone is still in.

This keto caramelized Vietnamese chicken is a pretty good example of what Asians call balanced as it is, salty, sour, sweet, and spicy yet, it is very easy to make and fun to eat.
