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.

  11. 152 Calories, 9g Protein, 10.5g Fat 13.7g Carbs, 8.3g Fiber, 5.4g Net Carbs
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.

Low Carb Stuffed Shrimp

Low Carb Stuffed ShrimpLow Carb Stuffed ShrimpLow Carb Stuffed Shrimp. I have had a lot of really good food in my life and this Low Carb Stuffed Shrimp is in my top 5.  I was unable to eat it for several years until I came up with the Carbalose Flour Bread recipe and now I can finally have it again so YeeHaw.  I also have for many years loved dilled potatoes with low carb stuffed shrimp and I now I can eat something very close as I can eat it with Dilled Red Radishes.  Pretty tricky huh? And this is drool worthy in my foodie world.

You will need Carbalose Flour Bread Breadcrumbs  and the recipe for Sauce Béarnaise to complete the dish. If you are a complete shrimp & crab purest there is always Keto Crab Stuffed Shrimp.

Stuffed Shrimp
Print
Ingredients
  1. 1 Lb. Very Large Shrimp (Hopefully 16 Per Pound)
  2. 3 C Carbalose Flour*** Breadcrumbs
  3. ¼ C Grated Onions (I put mine is a small processor which will get them very small)
  4. ½ C Sour Cream
  5. ¼ C Melted Butter
  6. ½ t Tarragon
  7. ¼ t Thyme
  8. ¼ t Pepper
  9. ¼ t Salt
  10. 2 T Melted Butter
Directions
  1. When ready to cook preheat oven to 375°.
  2. Carefully peel shrimp trying not to lose the tail meat.
  3. Put bread crumbs in a bowl.
  4. Mix next 8 ingredients together and then mix well into bread crumbs.
  5. Count your shrimp making sure you have that many little flattened stuffing balls. Use about a tablespoon for each which will sit atop your shrimp.
  6. Foil line a pan and smear last 2 T of butter. I like to sprinkle a little salt, pepper, and garlic salt on the butter but it is not necessary. The garlic salt just adds a little something extra-a lagniappe if you will.
  7. Take the shrimp and make a circle tucking the tail inside if possible.
  8. Top each shrimp with a round puck of stuffing.
  9. Bake 10-12 minutes and finish by browning the stuffing under the broiler.

Carbalose Flour Focaccia
Print
Ingredients
  1. 2¼ C Carbalose Flour
  2. ¼ C Wheat Gluten
  3. ¼ C Coconut Flour
  4. ¼ C Golden Flaxseed Meal
  5. 1 t Salt
  6. ¼ t Guar Gum
  7. ¼ t Xanthan Gum
  8. 1¼ C Warm Water
  9. 1½ T Yeast
  10. 1 t Sugar
  11. 7 Drops Liquid Sucralose*
  12. ½ C Olive Oil
  13. 2 t Minced Garlic
  14. 1 t Dried Basil
  15. 1 t Dried Rosemary
  16. ½ t Dried Thyme
  17. ½ t Dried Oregano
  18. ¼ t Salt
  19. ¼ t Pepper
Instructions
  1. Bloom yeast with sugar in 1 cup warm water for 10 minutes.
  2. Put first 7 ingredients in processor and turn on just to blend.
  3. Mix olive oil, spices, garlic, salt & pepper and heat on low 2-3 minutes.
  4. Add ½ olive oil mixture to dry ingredients and pulse machine several times.
  5. Add liquid Sucralose to bloomed yeast and with machine running add to dry ingredients.
  6. Run processor for at least a minute and probably a little longer adding any additional water as needed-this should be about ¼ C more. You want to make sure there is enough water. Dough should have a loose consistency and will not be sticky on your hands. At this point the dough should have the same look and feel of regular bread.
  7. Form into 2 balls, put in un-greased bowls and cover with film for about 30 minutes until doubled.
  8. Turn out dough onto lightly floured counter and keeping their shapes, roll into big 1 ½” thick circles and put onto sheet pan lined with parchment paper, or better yet your Silpat.
  9. Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
  10. Drizzle and brush rest of olive oil mixture all over both tops.
  11. Let rise 15-20 minutes. Do not over proof as it will raise more in the oven and Focaccia is a relatively flat bread. Using your finger tips make “dimples” all over dough.
  12. Bake 15-20 minutes or until light golden brown.
  13. Cut each round into 8 traditional “pie wedges”.
  14. 16 Servings
  15. 115 Calories, 6g Protein, 6g Fat , 9g Carbs, 5g Fiber, 4g Net Carbs
Notes
  1. Please note the use *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. You may also add black, green, or kalamata olives, thin slices of fresh tomato, slivered onions, & maybe a little parmesan or mozzarella cheese and...this already seems suspiciously like pizza. Um Yum-Oh Boy.
  3. You do not necessarily need to make this into rounds as it can be formed into any shape you wish and no matter the shape, it is terrific dipped in olive oil.

  2. If you like really smoky sauce, add another tsp. of liquid smoke.
  3. If you like it sweet add a drop or two of EZ-Sweetz or use low carb ketchup.
  4. Like lots of onion? Add more. Just remember onions have carbs which is why I grate mine. Grating gets you the most flavor, punch and bang for your buck.
  5. Spicier? Add more Cayenne.
  6. More piquant? Add more chili powder.
  7. Like Worcestershire? Add some.

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
Print
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 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.

  2. This is very good on avocado & tomato or avocado & strawberries.
  3. You may add 1 t of orange extract for a little oomph if serving with just bare naked strawberries.
  4. You can also make with ½ yogurt and ½ mayo.

Low Carb Almond Butter MousseLow Carb Almond Butter MousseKeto Almond Butter Mousse. I have given another example of this recipe Cranberry Orange Mousse and now using your imagination I’ll bet you can come up with a lot more flavors to “mousse”.  Strawberry, Raspberry, and Chocolate Mousse come to mind.  The ingredients are basic and anything else may easily be substituted.  As you can see I garnished with a few raspberries.  There are many wonderful food marriages and raspberries & almonds is one of them. Keto almond butter mousse …you know like a marriage made in heaven.
