Keto Rocket Fuel

Leave a reply

Keto Rocket FuelKeto Rocket FuelKeto Rocket Fuel.  This is not all my recipe and I even took the name because it seemed so apropos.  It is not so killer spicy hot that it’s only good for a few people, but rather designed to add heat to your liking.  Of course I changed some of the recipe to reflect low carb like the pear and the sugar, and yes I even omitted a couple of ingredients like Tabasco but the absolute essence of the recipe still remains intact. For comparison, here is the original recipe and even they took it from a restaurant.  The second picture is to show it accompanying my dinner and you can see how little it takes.

Ingredients
  1. 1 C Drained Sliced Jarred Pickled Jalapenos
  2. ¼ C Jalapeno Juice (From The Same Jar)
  3. 2 T Chopped Cilantro (More If Wanted)
  4. 1 T Allulose***
  5. 1 T Lime Juice
  6. 2 t Fish Sauce (Optional & I Used It)
  7. 2 t Crushed Garlic***
  8. 1 t Chili Garlic Paste
  9. ¼ t Cayenne Pepper
  10. ¼ t Cumin
  11. ¼ t Crushed Oregano
  12. ¼ t Ginger Powder
  13. 1 Cup Finely Chopped Daikon Radish
  14. Water To Consistency Desired (Saved From Daikon Cooking)
Instructions
  1. Chop daikon radish and simmer in 1 C water until very soft.
  2. In bowl large enough to hold at least 3 cups (or a small processor) add rest of ingredients.
  3. Drain and rinse cooked daikon radish, add to rest of ingredients, process to a fine consistency adding water as necessary. I used my stick blender because for this particular job it was the best tool.
  4. 12 Servings
  5. 4 Calories, 0.1g Protein, 0.0g Fat, 0.2g Carbs, .01g Fiber, 0.1g Net Carbs
Notes
  1. As you can see this is basically a zero carb food so...eat it with abandon.
  2. Want it hotter? First be sure you use hot jalapeno peppers & juice and a sure fire way to get it hotter is to use (a little) more chili garlic paste.
  3. Since I was testing this for the first time I used raw jicama which stayed a little chunky and which is why I am suggesting simmered daikon radish.

Low Carb Mung Bean Sprouts Carbonara

Leave a reply

Low Carb Mung Bean Sprouts CarbonaraLow Carb Mung Bean Sprouts Carbonara.  Yes, you can have an Italian dinner this evening.  No, you don’t need to go to the Olive Garden to get it.  Pasta carbonara is one of the truly classic Italian dishes and it does not need to be made with high carby pasta.  We are going to use mung bean sprouts instead and by the time we are finished, I doubt you will be able to tell much difference.  Traditionally, carbonara does not have cream in it but no fear, it is really good and does make the meal more hearty.  Hopefully you can find a good pancetta but if not, a good quality smoked bacon will work as a decent stand-in.

Low carb mung bean sprouts carbonara is an extremely low carb but more importantly, high fat recipe.  This is keto at its best and in my humble opinion, very healthy trading about 50g carbs in a pasta for about 7g in sprouts so, the choice is yours. That big beautiful display of basil?  I kid you not, I. Ate. It. All.

Keto Italian Parmesan Garlic Wings

Leave a reply

Keto Italian Parmesan Garlic WingsLow Carb Italian Parmesan Garlic WingsLow Carb Italian Parmesan Garlic WingsLow Carb Italian Parmesan Garlic WingsKeto Italian Parmesan Garlic Wings.  What kind of combo is Parmesan & garlic?  My taste buds say they are a marriage made in heaven and if you already have the dry herb ingredients used in Italian Dipping Oil you are in the home stretch.  These wings could not be much easier to make and most of your time will be spent waiting for them to finish in a hot oven.  I have listed the ingredients below so you have the whole recipe all together. I served mine with Brianna’s Asiago Caesar Dressing to dip my keto Italian Parmesan garlic wings into but they really didn’t need it as they are fabulous on their own.

The dry herb & spice mixture can just sit in a jar until further use.  I use it in Traditional Spaghetti Sauce over squash or mung bean sprouts, sprinkled on top of an occasional low carb pizza, on all kinds of vegetables, and any other thing you can think of where Italian herbs are called for. Think Ham & Cheese Pinwheels and maybe even some Carbalose Italian Parmesan Garlic Knots. This is an extremely easy and useful herb/spice blend.

Low Carb Puttanesca Over Mung Bean Sprouts

Leave a reply

Low Carb Puttanesca Over Mung Bean SproutsLow Carb Puttanesca Over Mung Bean SproutsLow Carb Puttanesca Over Mung Bean Sprouts.  I’m going out on a limb with this recipe but as I have eaten and cooked with mung bean sprouts, I realize what a truly versatile vegetable it is.  It has virtually no flavor of its own so it takes on the flavor of whatever it is cooked with and of course we see this time and again in Asian cuisine.  Why not use it as your “noodle” or pasta for pretty much anything and with this recipe, it is exactly what I have done.  I am pairing it with a zesty Puttanesca Sauce and in one word it is delicious.  If you have your own favorite tomato based marinara sauce then by all means use it but Puttanesca is not just any normal red sauce.  As far as I’m concerned, mung bean sprouts could replace pasta in many, many other dishes. Not all but again, many.  Other sprouts recipes include Mung Bean Sprouts Salad,  Stir Fried Mung Bean Sprouts,  Chicken Parmesan, and they play a small role in the Vietnamese Shrimp Bowl.

Low Carb Asian Cucumber Salad

Leave a reply

Low Carb Asian Cucumber SaladLow Carb Asian Cucumber SaladLow Carb Asian Cucumber Salad
Low Carb Asian Cucumber Salad.  Do not attempt to make this very easy recipe unless you have either a spiralizer or a mandoline as it would be neigh onto impossible to slice the cucumbers as thinly as they should be.  That said, this is an easy, easy recipe.

Asian cucumber salad is pretty close to most other Asian recipes in that it is a little sour, a little sweet, a little heat, a little salty, and a lot good. I do like to refrigerate mine for at least several hours but/and it is also good right after making.  The big difference is that the cucumbers will soften and, in my opinion be a little easier to eat. Don’t make the mistake of thinking there can’t possibly be enough sauce for all the sliced cucumbers as it is plenty.  As it sits, the salt in the tamari will draw out juices-be calm-it will be fine and the peanuts will add the final touches of salt. If Paleo, leave off the peanuts.

Low Carb Thai Salad With Spicy Sweet Peanut Sauce

Leave a reply

Thai Salad With Spicy Sweet Peanut SauceThai Salad With Spicy Sweet Peanut SauceThai Salad With Spicy Sweet Peanut SauceLow Carb Thai Salad With Spicy Sweet Peanut Sauce. This is a refreshing salad to throw together any time of year. We have a wonderful Thai restaurant down and around the corner from us who sells a Thai salad and it is the inspiration for this one.  The lovely thing about this restaurant is that because they know I am diabetic they let me bring in my own sugar-free peanut sauce. I put a lot of different ingredients in mine but again, it’s a salad and you can put just about everything but the kitchen sink in one and it will be good.  They use iceberg lettuce which is what I get when I go there, but I sub Bok Choy here and it is so good.  Remember, the darker the leaves in a lettuce, the better nutritionally it is so Bok Choy is a much better choice anyway and in this case it’s not particularly the ingredients in the salad (yes it is) as it is about the spicy sweet peanut sauce as it’s to die for good. Hope you can see how pretty this salad is because I couldn’t get a shot of everything together with the Peanut Sauce stuff so…this one’s in two pieces.  If you end up wanting to make just the Sweet Spicy Thai Peanut Sauce, it’s here.

When I make this, I always double the recipe for the sauce because as we know it goes so well with a chicken, beef, pork or shrimp satay, let alone on vegetables, and the list is almost endless.

Low Carb Spaghetti Squash Traditional Tomato Sauce

Leave a reply

Low Carb Spaghetti Squash With Traditional Tomato SauceLow Carb Spaghetti Squash Traditional Tomato Sauce. This is about as low carb as you can make spaghetti squash with tomato sauce. Tomatoes, if using enough to make a sauce, inherently have carbs and for that matter so does spaghetti squash.  I do not eat this often nor do I eat any more than one serving but it is so, so good and if you happen to have the Italian Dipping Oil Herbs you are already halfway home. One half order actually makes a very nice dinner side accompaniment. The sauce is also very good on Spaetzle.

Another great addition to this basic recipe is one of these wonderful Large Meatballs.
