Keto Sweet Lime Shrimp

Keto Sweet Lime ShrimpKeto Sweet Lime Shrimp. Do you like easy? Do you like shrimp? Do you like butter? Do you like lime? If you answered yes to these questions this recipe may be for you. I have garnished mine the way I like it and you will do the same. Served it over Cauliflower Grits and again you will do it as you wish. I use a LOT of cauliflower grits and rest assured they are not just plain old riced cauliflower. One good sized head should give you about 6-½ C servings which freeze well for later use. I make 2 heads at a time to freeze.

Keto Pork Rind Wraps

Keto Pork Rind WrapsKeto Pork Rind WrapsKeto Pork Rind WrapsKeto Pork Rind WrapsKeto Pork Rind WrapsKeto Pork Rind WrapsKeto Pork Rind Wraps. There may be lots of recipes for keto wraps and this is just my simple version. I did not put any flavoring (except salt) into them as you can flavor them any way you wish and that might certainly include sweetened. I made mine in a small sauté pan to control even sizing but they could just as easily be done on a countertop griddle. To keep it simple and because I already had everything I needed, I did pulled pork burritos and you can experiment any way you wish. Of course I didn’t use all eight of the wraps and since I only used two, I put them two each encased in film and froze the rest of them for later use. The first next thing I am going to do with them is tear them into pieces to use as scoops in one of my dips which might include…I just made some Smoky Eggplant Dip, tore two wraps into what I call rags, and they were perfect. I didn’t do it but it would be nice to display 6 folded wraps on a plate and let people communally tear their own pieces.

The last picture are three small wraps filled with almond whipped cream & raspberries and topped with same and pictured is the new 5” pan I bought especially to make the smallest 4½” wraps. The recipe is only for the keto pork rind wraps and nothing else. They have next to zero carbs and you will have to decide what other low carb foods you want to stuff or eat them with and I have since eaten them as a fabulous BLT wraps.

In my first foray using them for a dinner I used pulled pork sprinkled with cumin inside & out, cheddar cheese, guacamole, sour cream, jalapeno peppers and cilantro but the sky’s the limit on what you can do with keto pork rind wraps. Next time I get a duck I am going to use them as Chinese pancake to make Peking Duck.

I use Plain Pork King Good rinds and they can be purchased any number of places-I buy mine from Netrition. Once you have these you should find all kinds of way to use them. Maybe…Chicken or Cheese Enchiladas? Or maybe just plain pancakes with butter and sugar-free syrup.

Caprese Salad

Caprese SaladCaprese SaladCaprese Salad. You know, I have zero idea why I have never posted a recipe for Caprese Salad before. Maybe because it is so simple and I assume people just know about it. It can literally be thrown together and on the table in a couple of minutes. I originally bought the ingredients because I was going to make myself a personal size lowcarb Cheese Pizza and then I was going to make heaping plate full of Chicken Parmesan over Sprouts and you know how it goes, life changes on a dime and many times so do my food plans. I did add a small chunked up avocado because all the flavors go so well together so…add some or not, your choice. I never did make that pizza but I did end up having Caprese Salad a couple times more. Oh Well.

Italian Creamed Shrimp

Italian Creamed ShrimpItalian Creamed Shrimp. I served mine on Spaghetti Squash but it would be great on boiled sprouts or any number of other lowcarb noodles. Easy quick recipe when you don’t have lots of time which seems to be in short supply these days. I do make and freeze spaghetti squash to have on hand when I want it and the same with Cauliflower Grits but what you serve with your Italian Creamed Shrimp will be up to you.

Low Carb Asian Beef & Cabbage

Low Carb Asian Beef & CabbageLow Carb Asian Beef & CabbageLow Carb Asian Beef & CabbageLow Carb Asian Beef & Cabbage. There are probably a thousand ways to fix a low carb Asian beef & cabbage and this is the way I do mine. It’s filling, satisfying and quite piquant.

Don’t have any stories to tell or tips for you here, it’s just an easy, quick dinner for four people when you don’t have the time or inclination to do much cooking but you still want to fix something really tasty for dinner. I added a hard boiled egg and a few tomato slices because I do only eat once a day but honestly you don’t necessarily need anything else. If you are so inclined, this is the recipe for my Hoisin Sauce.

Keto Asian Butter Mushrooms

Leave a reply

Keto Asian Buttery MushroomsKeto Asian Buttery MushroomsKeto Asian Buttery MushroomsKeto Asian Butter Mushrooms. What a packed wallop of flavor and I’d call them umami on steroids. Surprisingly easy to fix and should be on your table in about 20 minutes. You can use just about any mushroom you want except maybe enoki mushrooms. Yes, they have a fabulous delicate flavor but they are fragile and do not hold up to cooking all that well. I have a picture with these wonderful keto Asian butter mushrooms served with a steak and also, I had a bit of leftover sauce so I used it to dress some mung bean sprouts. Now, if you don’t like butter do not make these because they have more butter than just about anything else I know of.

Lime Vinaigrette Salad Dressing

Lime Vinaigrette Salad DressingLime Vinaigrette Salad DressingLime Vinaigrette Salad Dressing. The first and probably only difference you notice in the two pictures above is a plain salad and a finished salad with freshly ground pepper and this is a really big deal. Most salad are enhanced by fresh pepper and this is no different.

Lime vinaigrette salad dressing is quite piquant with so much lime juice but/and…is ridiculously easy to make. What you put with it is your choice and I have picked what is in the pictures. Your choices may be different but this is a pretty good start.

Notes
  1. The salad shown is spring greens, slivered red pepper, slivered shallots, and dressing. It is also quite good with slivered red onion or anything else you may wish to add. I haven’t done it yet but some grated daikon radish would add a bit of crunch as well.
  2. If you happen to like veggies dipped in a sauce this will fit that bill really well. It has just enough viscosity to adhere beautifully to most any vegetable and is particularly nice with jicama sticks because of the limey flavors and with jicama you can also add a sprinkle of chili powder. Tasty.

Spicy Asian Pork Tenderloin

Spicy Asian Pork TenderloinSpicy Asian Pork Tenderloin

 

 

Spicy Asian Pork Tenderloin. I don’t mean just spicy, I mean kinda Indian-Korean spicy. I was in the kitchen a week or so ago with a nice piece of pork tenderloin with no thought about what to do with it and this is what I came up with. It was so good I made it again, hence this recipe.

You are going to see a new ingredient here and I can only tell you that it’s good on a brick and will behoove you to get it. It can be left out but you will be missing a real treat if you do. One of the things I am learning is that allulose doesn’t do well in a marinade because it burns at a high temperate and the flavor is so intense with this sauce over the meat it really just didn’t matter. The 2nd and 3rd pictures were done with no garlic pickle or butter and the1st  has them both. I did serve them both with Cauliflower Grits because they are a natural to make spicy Asian pork tenderloin and to complete the dish.

Keto Andouille Daikon Stew

Leave a reply

Keto Andouille Daikon StewKeto Andouille Daikon StewKeto Andouille Daikon StewKeto Andouille Daikon Stew. Long ago I was looking for what I thought was the best and most authentic tasting Andouille sausage and the one pictured was it, and is to my taste. You are going to use the one you like best. I ordered 5 or 6 different sausages from Cajun Grocery and the one shown is what I found to be THE most authentic. Make no mistake, this stew is good, good, good and even better when served with my Cauliflower Grits and not to be confused with plain ole cauliflower rice although that will work too. The blackening seasoning is also what I use and the reason I like it so much is the blend. It’s heavy on thyme, not just all cayenne pepper.

I know many of you want recipes done in a crock pot but the great thing about this keto andouille daikon stew is, it is made quickly with no long simmering for hours. You know how stews can be. They tend to grow and in this case, you may be glad if you have leftovers. If you are looking for even more protein then 1-2 added pulled meat chicken thighs also might be good and…it will also tend to thicken your stew.

  12. 9-10 C Water (Or Chicken Stock)
  13. 1-2 T Chicken Paste*** (If Using Water)
  14. ¼ t Guar Gum or Xanthan Gum > or < As Needed To Thicken A Bit. (Mine Are Mixed)
  15. 1 C Sour Cream
  16. ¼ C Green Onions
  17. Salt To Taste And Only If Needed
Instructions
  1. Peel, cut and put daikon radish in 5 C water, cover, and simmer until tender.
  2. Slice mushrooms about ¼” thick.
  3. Dice onions.
  4. Cut Andouille to bite size pieces.
  5. Cut bacon into ½” pieces and sauté until soft but not too crispy. Leaving fat in skillet, put bacon into large bowl.
  6. Add onion and sauté in bacon fat until softened. Add to bowl.
  7. Add butter to any bacon grease, turn up heat and sauté mushrooms until just beginning to brown. Add to bowl.
  8. Add andouille sausage to skillet and brown slightly. Add to bowl.

Notes
  1. I have shown two ways to cut your daikon radish and the idea is to have nice bite sized pieces.
  2. If you like really spicy stew you may add ½ t of cayenne pepper but for sure taste this before adding additional spices. The Andouille is (should be) spicy and so should your Cajun spices.
  3. If you like Worcestershire sauce then put it on the table and let people add their own.

Keto Anise Eggplant

3 Replies

Keto Anise EggplantKeto Anise EggplantKeto Anise Eggplant.  When I began thinking about this recipe I had just been in a new (my side of the river) Middle Eastern market where I picked up three of those beautifully small fit in-the-palm-of-your-hands eggplants. I have yet to find them again anywhere so I have decided to do the recipe with regular eggplant rounds. Any variety will work except perhaps the tiny pea eggplants as I really think after cutting them in half they would all but disappear.

Aside from the fact that these keto anise eggplant are visually stunning, they are Tom Terrific delicious. If you have an Asian market near you, you can sometimes find small eggplants there. Don’t worry about the color as they will all look the same after cooking and the only difference will be the shape.

That beautiful little dish? It made its way all the way from Morocco to my humble kitchen.

Notes
  1. I ground my anise seeds in a small processor and it can also be done with a mortar & pestle. It does not need to be powdered, just break up the seeds pretty well and if wanted, it actually come as a powder.
  2. These also make terrific appetizers.
  3. Za'atar and Aleppo pepper can be purchase in any Middle Eastern market, on line, and even in many grocery stores. When purchasing za'atar make sure to buy "Aleppo Style" which should not have any wheat in it. Wheat is just a cheap filler.

Keto Pok Pok Wings

Leave a reply

Keto Pok Pok WingsKeto Pok Pok WingsKeto Pok Pok Wings. It has been many years since I have eaten at the original Pok Pok restaurant because of my diabetes but their wings have always been THE signature dish and they were exquisitely delicious. Kind of the quintessential flavors of Vietnam and Thailand. They were super crispy, very fish saucy, and you really didn’t care what was in them but you knew you loved them. Used to be able to arrive 5 or 10 minutes before they opened and get in but as they became more and more famous you could get there an hour ahead and still end up with another hour to wait. It kind of became a gathering place of people all waiting to get in.

Andy Ricker was the chef behind all the wonderful food at Pok Pok and if you are interested (you should be) you may read about him Here. Andy is a two time James Beard Award winner, former Michelin Star holder for Pok Pok NY and best-selling cookbook author. And…he traveled Thailand with Anthony Bourdain no less. Has also appeared with Guy Fieri on Diners Drive-Ins & Dives.  Sadly, and very recently because of Covid, Andy has closed all five of the Pok Pok restaurants permanently but you can now have these fabulous Keto Pok Pok Wings and is there a difference?…Not much.  One last thing here. These keto Pok Pok wings are made with allulose. As you can see from the sauce pictures it caramelizes just like sugar. I have only begun to start using this product but I will say this…it has fabulous potential.

Pok Pok Wings
Print
Wings
  1. 3 Lb Split Chicken Wings
  2. 2 T Melted Butter
Sauce
  1. 3 T Butter
  2. 4½ T Allulose***
  3. 3 T Fish Sauce
  4. 6-7 T 40% Heavy Cream
  5. 1 T Pickled Jalapeno Juice
  6. 1 t Garlic Paste***
Garnishes
  1. 2 T Ground Roasted Peanuts
  2. ¼ C Chopped Fresh Cilantro
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 425°.
  2. Drizzle melted butter on wings making sure to get them all covered. (If you need more then get more).
  3. Lay wings out on paper lined sheet pans. (See Notes Below)
  4. Bake about 35 minutes or until wings are golden brown & delicious.
Meanwhile Making The Sauce
  1. Heat butter and alllulose on medium low, stirring until it begins to caramelize to a golden brown.
  2. Remove from heat for only a minute or so, add in fish sauce and put back onto medium low heat and slowly cook another 2-3 minutes. Add jalapeno juice, and heavy cream and reduce until thickened like in the picture above.
  3. Take off heat, stir in garlic paste, & let cool a bit and whatever you do, DO NOT stick the end of your finger in it to taste it. It's so hot your finger is probably going to fall off.
  4. Put wings into a large bowl, coat thoroughly with sauce and plate.
  5. Garnish with peanuts and cilantro.

Notes
  1. Please, please, please DO NOT be put off by the smell of the fish sauce as you are adding it. It will go away in 15-20 seconds and as you might imagine it is THE ingredient that makes this wing sauce so fantastic and if you have EVER had Asian food, you have eaten PLENTY of fish sauce.
  2. I hear tell that a lot of people have air fryers, (I do not) and if you do, by all means use it without the melted butter to coat and cook accordingly.
  3. If you get your sauce too thick, thin with a bit of hot water.
  4. The secret to the sauce is cooking it slowly to caramelize the butter & allulose and then the same after adding the cream.
