Re: Low Carb Recipes.

Coconut Chocolate Stuff ... or "Almond Bark" by Rose Elliott!

100 grammes coconut oil (Always use virgin pressed)
100 grammes ground almonds (I use a blend of low carb ground nuts - including macadamia nuts!)
25 grammes pure raw cocoa powder
25 grammes granulated sweetener of choice (I use xylitol)

Melt coconut oil (this doesn't take long)
Throw in cocoa and mix well so you have chocolate oil
Stir in sweetener and allow to soften / disolve (whatever your chosen sweetener does!)
Stir in nuts
Mix it all really well and scoop/pour into plastic tub and allow to cool (coolest part of fridge) for at least 90 minutes
When set, cut and leave another few minutes before serving

If you want to eat chunks like fudge use a slightly smaller tub or if you want chocolate-like slabs use a large flat tub

Originally from Rose Elliots Low Carb Vegetarian (an excellent book) I adapted the recipe slightly

BENEFITS:

* zero impact on blood sugar
* beneficial compounds in coconut oil (yes the fat is saturated but it's the right molecule)
* beneficial compounds in cocoa
* almonds are known to reduce cholesterol
* tastes amazing
* unbelievably fast and easy to make
* makes 21 large servings

ENJOY ... I do!

I think I'd prefer instead of using ground nuts perhaps to just pieces of nuts. How do you think that would work?

Stuffed Chicken **** Wrapped in Pigs ****

Chicken breast, slice and make a pocket then stuff it with mozzarella, sundried tomatoes, basil leaves and a smear of garlic. Wrap 2 slices of smoked bacon around the stuffed breast and skewer with wetted toothpicks to hold it together if needed.

Put on a baking tray on the middle shelf of a 200c pre heated oven with roughly chopped onion, pepper, mushroom and tomatoes (I usually put the chopped veg in a large bowl to coat and mix in olive oil first, plus season with what you prefer)

Then leave it in the oven at 200c for 25-30mins...done.

(You may find that it is handy to mop up any water from the likes of the baked tomatoes/mushrooms when you give the veg a turn halfway through, to help bake the veg instead of steaming it. or do them separately if you wish)

There are many combinations. Grilled meat/fish/sausages with salads the easiest. There are not many ready meals but you shoild be able to find a few. Just go yo supermarket and look at the labels of ready meals ( cauliflower bake, chickrn wings, chicken breast wrapped in bacon). I think m&s has the biggest selection

Garlic (I used garlic paste)

Melt the butter, add the garlic, thyme, Oxo and wine, and mix with the celeriac until it is coated.
Using a slotted spoon, transfer into an ovenproof dish without adding too much of the melted butter.
Top with parmesan and black pepper.
Bake at 170C for 20-30 minutes, until browned,

Serves 2
Cals 97, carbs 2.4g per serving

Needed some stodge tonight so made low carb toad in the hole and low carb cauliflower cheese.

6 sausages
40g soy flour
1 tsp mustard
3 eggs
100ml milk
Needed less time than it had - about 20 mins sausages then half an hour more with the batter.

500g frozen cauli, microwaved for 10 mins then half whizzed up with mature cheddar and a spoonful of Philly, other half left as florets. Mixed together, sprinkle more cheese, cooked.

Total in the whole toad as pictured: 10g CHO
Total in the whole cauliflower cheese: 20g CHO

Scrum. Stodge factor not quite like flour-based toad but next time I'm going to use half soy flour and half ground almonds instead of 40g soy.

:)

Flaxseed savoury crackers:
2 tbs ground flaxseed/linseed
6 tsp water
1 tsp herbs.

Mix dry together then add water and mix. Leave 3 mins to absorb.

Roll between two grease proof sheets to 3mm.

Cook in microwave for 2.5 mins.

Allow to cool.

And for a sweet take on it:

2 tbs ground flaxseed
1 tsp sweetener
1 tsp cinnamon
6 tsp water.

As above. This got burned a bit but I ate it anyway with cream and it was like a brandy snap! Edit: tried again with liquid stevia and cooking it for 2 mins initially, then a further 20 seconds. Came out really nicely!!!

This will be my go to dessert from now on
