Excellent . . Thanks:) The Nelson site looks yummy! Dukkah would be another good low carb thing, make some low carb bread to go with it and some EVOO :) B. T. W. . Have you ever made the oatmeal molasses bread in the Dana Carpender book? . . We've made it heaps of times! The crusts are DIVINE slathered in butter! [best part of the bread LOL] then the next day, I slice it thinly, cut into small squares and dry out on a gentle heat in the oven to use as crackers. . yum! ... been a wee while since I did that, must make some soon now I've thought about it!

I found this recipe from a reader Justine on Barry Groves blog: Quote:- "I have adapted the breakfast pancake and coconut biscuits. Not sure if is a biscuit, a pancake or a slice or even a coconut frittata! It is much easier cooking all the mixture at once rather than making individual fritters.
I beat two (or more) free range eggs, add dessicated coconut and grated cheddar cheese (amounts can vary) to almost fill up the egg mixture - no salt as I cook in salted butter. If you have time, leave it to sit for a while so the coconut can absorb the egg. Heat heaps of butter (New Zealand butter of course) in an appropriately sized frypan till just turning brown and then tip the mixture into the frypan, squish it down to spread over the base. Turn heat down, and cook slowly till a little brown, turn over to cook the other side till brown, turn off heat and leave in the pan to absorb any extra butter. Cut into wedges or quarters when cold - great for a packed lunch. I have cooked it in bacon fat as well. "
It seems that Barry might be starting to write a recipe book - good news!

Balsamic Beef (Crockpot recipe from Dana Carpender)
I changed this slightly as her recipe called for a 1. 75 kg beef round (a single piece, like a roast). I used the same amount of chuck steak but cubed it.
Brown the beef cubes in oil and add to crockpot. Add all other ingredients and cook for 8 hours on low.
Don't salt until the end once you've found out how salty the stock is once reduced down.
This makes a lovely rich casserole, and I didn't need to thicken the sauce but you can use Guar or xanthan or flour etc if you wish to thicken to your personal desired consistency. Very simple recipe but lovely.
Should make 8 serves with 5 usable carbs each.

I had a play with an old favourite recipe and made this tonight - a very simple and largely de-carbed version of a lovely classic Italian dish. I removed the onions which bought the carbs down a lot without sacrificing flavour and ended up with a very smooth sauce, it was lovely and my husband is keen to have it again!
Serve with salad or slow roasted eggplant and mushrooms sprinkled with balsamic vinegar.
~~~ Creamy Paprika Chicken (good for crockpot or stove) ~~~
Season the chicken generously with salt, pepper and paprika. Heat oil in pan and brown the chicken. Add the garlic to one side and soften (don’t brown). Add the chicken stock and bring to boil. Add the tomato paste and stir until mixed through. Cover with lid and simmer until chicken is cooked. Remove chicken. Stir through cream and reheat lightly if needed. Serve over chicken.
Should be around 4-5 carbs each person.

Cheese Crackers
½ cup sifted coconut flour ½ cup almond flour 2 eggs ¼ cup butter, melted ¼ teaspoon salt 3 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded Method
Blend together almond flour, eggs, butter, salt and cheese. Add coconut flour and kneed the dough in your hands for 2 to 3 minutes. Form dough into 1 inch balls, place on an un greased cookie sheet and flatten to a diameter of about 2 to 2½ inches. Bake at 205 Degree C (400F) for 15 minutes. These crackers taste best straight from oven and slightly crisp. Leftover crackers can be reheated at 205 Degree C (400F) for about 4 minutes. Makes about 16 crackers.

Jan 2242 what is the carb count for those 3 recipes?

Rozke
Best Foods is very popular as it has basically zero carbs. I also use the Heinz Seriousl Good Mayo as I think it has a fabulous flavour (biut a few more carbs)

Does anyone have a low carb Butter chicken or other curry?
uli,
Nov 25, 12:39am
There are hardly any carbs in a normal butter chicken recipe tarshlove, as most ingredients (chicken, tomato, cream etc) have nearly no carbs and the thickening is done traditionally with almond flour or ground almonds. So just use any traditional recipe :)

Sorry haven't worked it out but very little as the main in all bar the bread is coconut flour which is only 21 carbs per 100g.

Not quite right there Uli... . tomato (whether paste or pieces) and onion are not that low in carbs, and some recipes include yoghurt which again contains carbs. A medium onion contains 10 carbs, 1 cup of paste contains 50 carbs, or 200gm (1/2 can) chopped tomato another 6-12 carbs depending on the brand you use... ... by the time you add in the carbs for the garlic and ginger and the spices (eg: 6 carbs for 9gms garama masla) it adds up.

6 carbs for 9gms garama marsala - really? Maybe I am not as low carb as I think I am LOL :)
