What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)

[Annb]

I often use the salmon cakes recipe on onceuponachef website. I just omit the breadcrumbs and they hold together fine; although I do pop them in the freezer to firm up a bit. I’ve cooked them in a skillet on the stove, in an air fryer and on a grilling plate on the bbq, all without them falling apart. The recipe makes lots so I usually freeze most of them anyway.

I've just checked that out - looks good, so I'll give that a try. Many thanks.

Or you could make "cakes" by mixing the fish with beaten egg and turning out into bun tins to bake like....buns.

Another good idea. Might be a bit eggy, but if I put some fish sauce in it might make it more fishy.

10ish kefir with some lemon and lime zest
1ish mushrooms and eggs on LC toast followed by two squares of 100% chocolate and some apple peel.
5ish slow cooked beef with cabbage and glass of red wine followed by LC blondie warmed and served with yoghurt.

Late breakfast of a 3 eggs omelette with cheese, and half an avocado.
3 hours hilly, muddy but enjoyable walk
Had a nut bar half way round

Mid afternoon, packet of cheesies, 40g brie, 1 sq 85% and a dark chocolate digestive!!!

Dinner was supposed to be easy, ready made lamb shwarma with veg but the oven where are staying refused to heat up and there is no microwave or airfryer.
Glass of red while I panicked.
Then remembered the currently unoccupied holiday let the other side of the considerable garden, so several wet and cold and slippery trips later, dinner was served.
Another glass of red !

For next time, what about a frying pan to save you the slippery trips?

Being a ready meal I wanted to make sure it was fully cooked, according to instructions. The bits of meat were very thick, but yes, it did cross my mind as a last resort

I'm sure you're able to fry thick bits of meat until done!
But the important bit is the taste, did it taste good?

Saturday 11 March - bed 8.2 FBG 7.6. back on the run to jujitsu, then shopping.

B. TAG and 2 slices of SRSLY toast with pate.

L. Nothing - still shopping

D. A bit crustless quiche then, after my fish concoction with scallops, prawns in a white wine sauce. Peroni 00

Sunday 12 March - bed 7.9 FBG 7.8. Today, back on the run for swimming lessons. Days are returning to normal.

B TAG and a bit crustless quiche

L. CC Little chocolate pot

D. I had removed lamb chops from the freezer, and I cooked them the same way as the featherblade steak (in the oven, very slow cooked). Like the beef, the gravy was delicious, and the lamb like butter. However, you had to watch for tiny bones. Cobette and I nicked one of Hubby's small potatoes. Usual campari and soda.

I have come to the conclusion that the solution to the grating and cuts is chain mail gloves!

The fish were larger than I expected so I have a haddock tail-end and a salmon tail end and trimmings left after prepping my fish for this evening. I am baking the larger pieces and will make something later with those, but there are still some little pieces that I thought I would make into some kind of fish cakes but, obviously, can't use potato to hold it all together.

Does anyone have a recipe for low carb fish cakes? I have a bottle of fish sauce and I have some coconut flour and some eggs which might come in handy. Also have some of the celeriac left over.

I use cauliflower rice. Cook it in a pan with some butter for about 5 mins (just to soften it a bit). Season - obviously! I have also been known to add crushed garlic to it. Cook the fish in a little butter (just to flake level).
Let it cool, then flake the fish, mix with cauliflower rice, and then I add lemon zest, parsley, and chopped spring onion. Form into patties.
I vary at this point. Sometimes, I dip the patties in egg, then coat in my crumb mix of almond flour, milled flax, and parmesan. Other times, I just add it to the mix. If you are going to "crumb" them, the patties will need a chill in the fridge. They freeze well too.

That sounds good too. And extra veggies from the cauliflower.

Ground up pork scratchings will do a similar job or try some cheese to bind. I often find that things bind together better than you’d think. Having them very cold prior to cooking also helps.

We used these for chucking oysters and filleting fish with professional knives, should work for grating as well!
And I finally beat @AndBreathe at advising a kitchen implement!




The combination of not feeling like cooking and having to eat myself a way through all my impulsive birthday shopping in the German supermarket is perfect!
Another meal I thoroughly enjoyed, will eat more veggies after I've saved the smoked salmon by eating it, the rest needs to be eaten tomorrow.

Thanks for all the advice on fish cakes. Plenty for me to practice on there.

 

[Annb]

Breakfast: I mixed the remaining haddock with some spring onions and some mayonnaise. This was put on top of 2 slices of low carb bread. Followed up with a cup of tea.

2nd meal: will be fried "leg steak" of lamb with a cabbage, leek and pea dish.

Made celeriac chips (roasted, not fried) lastg night. They were OK but it took a bit to get used to the taste. Not sure whether I like them or not.

You could freeze it, unless it has already been frozen.

I froze some stuff as well, but for now I'm really enjoying my meals, so no need for freezing!

 

[saky]

Dinner - spinach curry with an egg in it, okra fry, bottle gourd fry, seer fish. Washed down with almond milk coffee

 

[filly]

Coffee and cream
Coffee and unsweetened almond milk
Pork tomato x 2
Avocado

 

[PenguinMum]

Today usual brekkie of slice LC toast and lots of tea.
Lunch was more of the delicious Irish farmhouse cheese (Durris, new to me) with a thin rind with three tiny plum toms and chopped cucumber. mug of tea.



You can tell I’m no food photographer or I would have placed the cheese over the chip in the plate!!!
Supper will be 3 high pork and herb sausages again from the farm shop and broccoli and very small spoon of Mr PM’s baked beans.

It’s a lovely colourful plateful, and it’s cheered me up knowing I’m not the only one with chipped crockery!
