I am no cook, but i have seen and my family have tried successfully the following
Low Carb (LC) swede mash (pot substitute), and also in stews and casseroles. can also be diced, boiled and mixed with LC white sauce with a pepper seasoning.

Swede is mid carb because it is a root vegetable. Just search << how many carbs in swede>> Swede is better than potato because it is not starchy.

Whenever you post those nice recipes could you please put the carb and calorie content if you know it.

The Cauli mash and swede mash are in the DCUK Christmas Cookbook 2015 which i believe you can download from this site. I have no idea what c & c count they are, but they worked for me. The peppered white sauce depends on what you use for flour. Almond or coconut would probably do it nicely. But you might get away with spelt flour if your carb allowance allows it.

Thanks again Oldvatr.

Yes a great recipe, I use a similar one for Oopsie Rolls which I use for hamburgers. Just be aware that the title is a bit deceiving though, it isnt carb free.

I have mentioned this before, but not on this Forum (I think).. In case you don't know, did you know you can cook a whole swede in the microwave? No need to wash it, or prick it. Depending on the size....mine took two lots of 10 minutes. Test with a cake tester, when cooked, take out of oven, lay on it's side and cut in half and scoop out the flesh and mash with butter and pepper.
They are very difficult to peel and normally a lot is cut away with the skin, but this way, there is no waste. It's good mashed with garlic butter too.

Thanks @MARGAR I was running out of fingers !!!! Good tip. Probably works with squashes as well.

Have to post this one, lunch today, just cooling in front of me and smelling very good.

Soem mixed veg, in this case helda beans, fresh cauli and some of the leaves, fresh psb, courgette, shallot
Quorn chunks for protein.

All sauted in coconut oil, flavoured with some red thai curry paste, some finely chopped fresh horseradish and finished with a few tbs of double cream.

Smells heavenly.

Anyone know where can I buy the miss meringue chocolate pieces?

 

[MikePea]

Sprouts Ugh!!!!! Next worse thing to garlic. Even more Ugh!!!

 

[MARGAR]

You "ugh!!! " sprouts and garlic, I enjoy both. Sprouts tossed in butter & almonds & garlic goes in so much of my cooking!! Good thing we're all different.

Gluten Free Winter Vegetable and Feta Tart

• For the Base
• 1 large cauliflower, broken into florets, about 750g prepared weight
• 100g ground almonds
• 2 eggs, beaten
• For the Topping
• 1 large butternut squash, peeled and cut into wedges, about 750g prepared weight
• 2 red onions, cut into wedges
• 1 large red chilli, roughly chopped
• Small bunch fresh sage, roughly chopped
• 2tbsp olive oil
• 3tbsp passata
• 200g feta cheese, crumbled
• Small bunch fresh mint, roughly chopped

Instructions
This delicious vegetarian tart makes a spectacular alternative to the classic main course. Instead of a traditional pastry, the base is made from a combination of cauliflower, eggs and ground almonds.

1 Preheat the oven to 200°C/fan 180°C/gas mark 6. Place the cauliflower florets in a food processor and blitz until coarsley chopped (you might need to do this in two batches). Place in a large bowl and cover with cling film and cook in a microwave on high for four minutes. Tip into a clean tea towel and squeeze out excess liquid. Tip back into a bowl and mix with the ground almonds, eggs and seasoning.

2 Line a large baking tray with baking parchment. Tip the cauliflower mixture into the centre of the tray and press into a 30cm round to make the tart base – making it thicker at the edges to make a crust. Bake for 15 minutes until golden brown and starting to crisp at the edges.

3 Meanwhile toss the butternut squash wedges with the red onion, chilli, sage and olive oil and spread out on another large baking tray and roast alongside the cauliflower for 15 minutes until starting to turn golden and tender.

4 Spoon the passata over the cauliflower base, then top with the squash and onion and finally scatter over the feta. Roast for a further 12–15 minutes until the vegetables and feta are golden and the base is crusty. Serve scattered with fresh mint and serve cut into wedges.
