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.

  8. 34 Calories, 0.5g Protein, 3.3g Fat, 1.2g Carbs, 0.4g Fiber, 0.8g Net Carbs
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 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 Spread

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.

Roast Beef Spread
Print
Ingredients
  1. 1 Pound Cooked Roast Beef
  2. ¼ C Chopped Onion
  3. ¼ C Chopped Celery
  4. ½ C Low Carb Bread & Butter Pickles***
  5. ½ C Mayonnaise (More If Necessary)
  6. 1-2 T Pickle Juice To Taste
  7. ½ t Onion Powder
  8. ½ t Salt
  9. ¼ t Pepper
Directions
  1. Put beef and onion, celery, and pickles in food processor, pulse until small & evenly chopped, and transfer to bowl. Add remaining ingredients, with enough mayonnaise and pickle juice to taste and moisten as desired. Serve as a spread on hazelnut crackers. Naan Flat Bread or as a spread for sandwiches on Carbalose flour bread.
  2. Toast the bread, or not, and spread with a little butter or mayonnaise. Spread a layer of the roast beef spread and finish with a few threads of pickled red onion & a couple of pickles.

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.

Keto Sauce Béarnaise

Keto Sauce BéarnaiseKeto Sauce BéarnaiseKeto Sauce BéarnaiseKeto Sauce BéarnaiseKeto Sauce Béarnaise. In the summer of 1972 in East Lansing, MI I had the opportunity to live in a house with 5 HRI (hotel, restaurant, & institutional management) students and I jumped at it.  It was the responsibility of each of us, one day a week, to shop with $10.00, prepare a meal for 6, and all sit down together to eat.  Talk about the good ole days-can you imagine feeding 6 college students on $10/day now?  Someone made this recipe and I have been making it ever since.  My only tweak has been the addition of the tarragon vinegar.   The reason I like it is that it is made in a food processor rather than over a double boiler of hot water.  This is so much much easier and pretty much full-proof if your butter is hot enough.  The French make this sauce so much harder and as you can see, I now make it the old fashioned way.

The absolute secret to this particular Keto Sauce Béarnaise is the use of tarragon vinegar.  I do add lemon juice to mine because I often enough serve it with seafood but I find the lemon juice goes with about anything.  Good on a brick but better yet on a good steak or Stuffed Shrimp. Those are NOT potatoes in the two lower pictures. They are either Dilled Red Radishes or Daikon Radish Fries but they sure do act and taste like potatoes.

Sauce Béarnaise

Ingredients
  1. Ingredients
  2. 3 Large Egg Yolks Room Temperature
  3. 2 T White Wine
  4. 1 Stick Butter
  5. 1 Minced Nice Sized Shallot
  6. ¼ C Tarragon Vinegar
  7. ¼ C Water
  8. ½ t Dried Tarragon Leaves
  9. Pinch Cayenne Pepper
  10. ¼ t Tarragon
  11. 2 T Lemon Juice (Optional For When Using Sauce With Seafood)
  12. ¼ t Salt
Directions
  1. Start to slowly clarify butter-if you do it slowly it will not sputter & spatter and as it begins to clarify swirl the saucepan several times.
  2. Mince Shallot, add to vinegar & water, add ½ t tarragon and cayenne pepper and simmer ever so slowly. The idea is the get the minced shallot very soft. If you need more moisture add a bit more vinegar. When this is finished it should have just a little moisture left-maybe a T or so.
  3. Put egg yolks and white wine in small processor & add shallot mixture.
  4. Strain butter to get rid of the little cruddy buttons and immediately begin slowing pouring into running processor. It should thicken toward the end if your butter is hot enough so make sure you take butter from the stove, strain, and begin using immediately. The idea is that the very hot butter will “cook” the yolks and thicken them.
  5. Add lemon juice, (if using) last ¼ t tarragon, salt, and process. Taste and correct seasoning if necessary.

You will need leftover Cranberry Orange Relish  to make this recipe. I have given another example of this recipe Almond Butter Mousse and now, using your imagination, I’ll bet you can come up with a lot more flavors to “mousse”.  Strawberry and raspberry come to mind.  The ingredients are basic and anything else may easily be substituted. Keto cranberry orange mousse is light, very flavorful and a perfect little something to end a perfect meal.  Cranberry Cream Cheese Pie is another terrific use for any leftover relish.

  1. I very rarely buy carrots because I consider them like little sugar bombs but they are an essential ingredient for this soup and anyway, it’s not much.
  2. You might be surprised but this soup has a slightly sweet taste, probably because of the garlic.
  3. Eat this with good friends. It is absolutely fabulous but not necessarily good on a first date.
  4. Adding sour cream and onions to soup can sometimes be amazing. Cauliflower Vichyssoise comes to mind.

Low Carb Bacon Wrapped ShrimpBacon Wrapped Shrimp

Low Carb Bacon Wrapped Shrimp. When buying shrimp you want to shop the count per pound NOT Small, Medium, Large, or Jumbo.  These terms mean absolutely nothing.  To see more regarding the sizing of shrimp please see SHRIMP under the Food Lagniappes page.

I try to buy U15’s (under 15 per pound) but 16-20 is a pretty good size shrimp for this recipe.

These are terrific dipped in Bleu Cheese Dressing, Remoulade Sauce, or Smoky Sweet & Sour Dipping Sauce as seen above.

Bacon Wrapped Shrimp

Ingredients
  1. 24 Large (12-15) Shelled & Deveined Shrimp/Tail On
  2. 12 Bacon Slices Cut In Half
Directions
  1. This is a Japanese trick and keeps the shrimp from curling. There is a long extremely well developed muscle running the length of the underbelly of a shrimp where the legs are attached and this muscle needs to be severed at each segment.
  2. With sharp pointed scissors cut the underbelly of each shrimp segment about ¼” and if you don’t have scissors, turn the shrimp upside down and with a sharp knife gently cut each segment.
  3. Lay bacon on cutting board vertically and place shrimp at a 45 degree angle. Wrap bacon in a spiral around each shrimp and secure with a toothpick at top.
  4. Heat oil on medium high until very hot and lay shrimp in-frying until bacon is finished. Don’t overcook as bacon will be hard and tough.
  5. Drain and serve with celery sticks and Bleu Cheese Dressing or Remoulade Sauce.

Keto Crabmeat St Francis

Leave a reply

Keto Crabmeat St FrancisKeto Crabmeat St FrancisKeto Crabmeat St Francis. This is my variation of a very famous New Orleans dish by famed Chef Warren Leruth.  I was first introduced to this dish while working at Beggar’s Banquet in E. Lansing, Michigan in 1974.  One of the four owners had worked for Chef Leruth and we served it as an appetizer. It can certainly be served as a dinner which the recipe is written for. With a big ole salad-dinner done.  Oh, what heady days those were.

Warren Leruth is now dead, and I don’t know where Martin Richard (pronounced Ri Chard) is, but Beggar’s Banquet?  It is still there at the main entrance to Michigan State University on Abbott Rd. serving great food after opening 40 years ago and you…are now able to have keto crabmeat St Francis anytime you want.  If you’re interested in a trip down memory lane here is a small article with lots of pictures about Beggar’s Banquet. and yeah, we all looked like those hippies in the pictures. Here is another article with a picture of the original menu. Martin was an incredible artist.

Notes
  1. Very good served over mashed buttered cauliflower or spinach.
  2. If crabmeat is too expensive where you live then you could easily substitute finely chopped shrimp, langostinos, chopped clams or a combination of some kind. And as I think about it you might even try imitation crab meat but beware: it is just very starchy and high carb which kinda defeats the whole purpose of this website.

Keto Poppy Seed Dressing

Keto Poppy Seed DressingKeto Poppy Seed DressingKeto Poppy Seed DressingKeto Poppy Seed DressingKeto Poppy Seed DressingKeto Poppy Seed Dressing. Gads, I tried and tried to make this keto poppy seed dressing with the original oil version but because I wasn’t using sugar I could not keep everything in suspension.  It tasted just like the original but it kept separating and you would have to shake it.  I have to say though, that this keto creamy poppy seed dressing version of the famous poppy seed dressing is pretty tasty stuff and nearly identical to it’s original sister. The salad shown is with strawberries, bacon and tomato.
