I thought I'd already posted this but no, it was over on my own journal. So here's a bread recipe that doesn't use yeast, and is very dense with nuts and seeds. You can mix up the types of flour, seeds, nuts, etc, as preferred, and according to what you have available. I find that more roughage and texture is best, and makes for a very solid loaf that slices and toasts well - once cooled, very important!

It maybe has more in common with Scandinavian sliced rye breads than with 'normal' wholemeal bread. It's GF and keto, and not vegan.

I wasn't a kale fan until I tried these, which are an easy way to eat a lot of greens! They're a little fiddly the first time you make them, but once you figure out the quantities and timings for your oven or microwave, they're definitely low effort.

Ingredients:
big heap of kale (I had about 5 cups, initially, ripped up)
1 tbsp garlic olive oil (or regular olive oil)
sprinkle of salt
several grinds of black pepper
¼ tsp MSG or 1 tbsp nutritional yeast
a squeeze of lemon juice

This recipe has endless variations (see notes at the end), and here's one version that has been turning out well. The nigella seed (an Ethiopian spice) and fish sauce (recommended by a Vietnamese friend) are optional if you don't have those around already.

Preheat oven to 400F, rack in middle of oven

Ingredients
1 package deboned chicken thighs, around 1-1.5 lbs.
1 medium cauliflower
2 large carrots
olive oil (amounts approximate, maybe 2 Tbsp)
Fish sauce

Spices:
Wild nigella seed (Tikur Azmud)
Ground ginger (or fresh dried if you have it)
Ground coriander
Ground mustard
White pepper
Salt

Chop, season, roast )

This is less a recipe than a cooking method for oven-baked fish, although I am including a recipe as well. I believe the oven times and temperatures come from (but probably aren't unique to) my former neighbors.

Ingredients:

1 lb to 1 1/2 lb steelhead trout or salmon fillet

1 to 2 Tbsp mayonnaise, depending on the size of the fillet
tsp lemon juice
2 tsp squeeze-bottle garlic, or 2-3 cloves chopped
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 to 1 tsp smoked paprika

These are some of the things I like and routinely get with my online grocery delivery. They're all GF and all except the pastry shells are also keto and dairy-free, but the pastry shells are only about 7g carbs each. The Blue Frog "muesli" is the only vegan one.

There are loads of bread alternatives out there for people eating keto, but what about noodles? I'm talking about noodles for Asian cooking, or for spaghetti, beef stroganoff, whatever.

So this is about konjac (also called shiratake) noodles - noodles made from the naturally occurring konjac yam (also called Devil's Tongue and you can see why!)

Our prompt for June is keto friendly! A ketogenic diet is one that's high in fat, adequate in protein, and low in carbohydrates, and because of this last often has some overlap with gluten-free diets.

To fill this prompt, you can:

  1. Slide into the comments of this post and share a link to a recipe, product, or resource and why you like it.
  2. Write up a favorite recipe and post it to the comm.
  3. Post a review of a related product or cookbook to the comm.
  4. Try someone's recipe and reply to their post (or comment) with any changes you made and how it turned out.
This prompt lasts all month, but it's only for inspiration and not a requirement. You can still post anything you like during this time as long as it meets the community guidelines.

It’s Autumn in NZ and tamarillo season - my favourite stewed fruit. They came from South America and when I was a kid we called them tree tomatoes but later they were rebranded to sound classier. They grow well here and are cheap - not sure how common they are elsewhere?
This is how I make stewed tamarillos. It's a bit fussy but totally worth it. For the following I used 3 bags with about 6-8 per bag, so about 20 tamarillos.

One of my favorite winter squash dishes is a Moroccan butternut squash casserole spiced with ras el hanout.
This recipe for Ras El Hanout and Chocolate Chunk Pumpkin Bread sounded amazing, so I took a shot at adapting it to be gluten-free and roughly paleo-compliant using ingredients I had on hand. My conversions are also rough and approximate.

Ingredients:

1 cup almond flour
1/2 cup coconut flour
heaping 1/2 cup Pamela's Pancake and Baking Mix (largely a rice flour blend)
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
2 tsp ras el hanout
1 tsp salt
3/4 cup coconut sugar
2 eggs
1 cup butter, melted
1/4 cup black tea
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 15oz can pumpkin puree
1/2 cup chocolate chips

I found a couple of mentions of this on the internet and tried it, but I have to say, with limited success.

The basic principle is simple: instead of flour-based pasta for the wrapper, you use a thin slice of cheese to make the dumpling wrapper.

Read more... )

As mentioned, I had some technical difficulties with this recipe. It was hard to get the timing just right and it was fiddly trying to get the wrappers to stick and seal. You can put them back in the oven briefly to help with this, though.

On the plus side, they were delicious, as the cheese wrapper is tastier than a bland pasta one. But overall, I think they're probably a little too fiddly for me to bother with often, although making them probably gets easier with practice.

GF, Low Carb

This is a lower carb take on lasagne, but of course you can just use normal GF lasagne sheets and make a higher carb version. Note that it's lower carb, not low calorie!

Pavlova and a keto pav option
In NZ pavlova is a holiday standby, for Christmas dinners. The anti-chef (Jamie, who also does funny vids where he works his way through Julia Childs's cookbooks) had a go at making a pav, here. (note that to make it low carb you need to sub the sugar for powdered Swerve or erythritol, NOT allulose as allulose makes crumble toppings and meringues go soft)

That one's not specifically low carb but here's a recipe that is

Christmas dinners in NZ's summer are often in a "more the merrier" spirit, combining totally inappropriate roast meals and hot Christmas pudding with salads, cold ham, strawberries and pavlovas. A seasonal favourite of mine is trifle, but trifle can be boring unless you tart it up a bit. This is a simple and delicious recipe, followed by a similar low carb version.

Keto-Friendly recs:

Here are some Keto-friendly sites and a product, that I like for desserts. Not all the recipes are specifically labeled as GF but keto-friendly stuff usually is GF, so most of these recipes will be okay. Ketosert's flourless ones, especially, but most of these are very much not dairy or egg-free. 

Keto upgrade - the chef here used to be a restaurant pastry chef and she uses her skills to adapt recipes to be both keto-friendly and maximally yummy. But note that she sometimes uses added wheat gluten in recipes, so avoid those. 

Ketoserts is an old favourite whose vids are nicely brief, with soothing music and reasonably simple recipes. The channel is all baking, much of which is cakes, cookies, etc. Also, watch out for recipes with added wheat gluten. 

Horley's low-carb protein 33 bars - I'm able to get these through my online grocery delivery, and they should be available elsewhere I imagine. They're all GF. My fave is the salted banana caramel one but they're all good for a treat or "dessert". They make me feel like Rodney McKay snatching a power bar in a crisis to stave off hypoglycaemia!

Also, a good way to have keto-friendly strawberries is to dip them in low-carb maple flavoured syrup (sorry, Rodney!). I use Queen sugar-free maple flavoured syrup which is available in Aussie and NZ, and another brand option is Lakanto monkfruit-sweetened maple flavored syrup. Both brands taste the same to me and go well with slightly tart strawbs. Add some whipped cream, if you want. These syrups are also excellent on pancakes. 

Non-Keto recs:

Brian Lagerstrom isn't a GF chef, but he does great recipes with a chef's expertise that are aimed at home cooking, and some of them are easily made GF by using GF graham-type crackers/biscuits and GF flour. Like this cheesecake one, or his pumpkin (squash) pie. And his mango rice pudding is both utterly delicious and completely GF.

Another fave presenter is Adam Ragusea but he also isn't focusing on GF so you'd have to adapt the recipes with GF flour. His no-torch creme brulee is fully GF though, and fairly easy to make. His hot chocolate with honey marshmallows is also GF, as is his macaroons recipe (note that there's a lot of excited shouting as he challenges "perfect macaroon" notions). Also he has a good home-made ice cream recipe that is of course GF and only requires lots of ice and a hand mixer.

These were mostly taken from a tumblr post about soups, then I followed all the links and these were the ones that worked and weren't behind a paywall. Haven't tried any yet but they look yummy - peanut gallery comments are mine. (Also, a reminder about how useful the Paprika app - for pc or mobile - is to save recipes like these.)

To help with mod tagging: if adapting according to my notes these are all GF, many qualify as keto-friendly, many are egg-free, most are dairy-free, most are nut-free. But they vary and you need to read the actual ingredients.

I recently made this from scratch, as I can make it keto whereas store-bought versions locally have more carbs (they add stuff like cornstarch and chickpeas). It's delicious and warming for autumn with a touch of chilli! The following is from trial and error and adapted from the Jamie Oliver recipe, combined with another version. It's a great alternative to hummus as aubergines are low carb, unlike chickpeas. I had to wait awhile to try this as supply chain issues meant I had difficulty getting hold of aubergines.
