Salmon & Prawn with Courgette Tagliatelle


Ingredients:

200g Salmon
100g Prawns
Couple of knobs of butter
100g Mascarpone
100ml cream
200g Courgettes

Put a couple of knobs of butter on the salmon, wrap in foil and cook in the oven. 180ºC for 25 mins.
Put Mascarpone and cream in a pan and heat gently. I used milk and it was just the right consistency, so if using cream it may be better to thin down. Add prawns to liquid and simmer.
Using a potato peeler, ‘peel’ the courgette into ribbons. Melt some more butter in a frying pan, add the courgettes and fry.
When salmon is cooked, break into pieces and add to pan containing prawns. Give a good stir to mix salmon and prawns.
Pour sauce over courgettes in pan, give a good stir. Transfer to plate. I added loads of black pepper and it was gorgeous.

DEEP DISH PIZZA

4 ounces cream cheese, softened
2 eggs
1/4 cup parmesan cheese, 1 ounce (I used the kind in a can)
1/4 teaspoon oregano or Italian seasoning
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
8 ounces Italian cheese blend or mozzarella cheese, shredded
1/4 cup pizza sauce
4 ounces mozzarella cheese, shredded
Assorted toppings: pepperoni, ham, sausage, 4 ounce can mushrooms, green peppers, bacon, ground beef, etc.
Dash of garlic pepper or garlic powder and some Italian seasoning for top of pizza

In a medium bowl, whisk cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Whisk in eggs until mixture is well-blended and smooth. Add the parmesan and seasonings, then stir in the 8 ounces of mozzarella until completely moistened. Spread cheese mixture evenly in a well-greased 9x13" glass baking dish or lightly greased and lined with parchment paper (see note below). Bake at 375º 20-25 minutes or until evenly browned, but not too dark. Let cool completely on a wire rack. When nearly cooled, take a metal spatula and carefully pry up the edges to loosen from pan. Ease the spatula under the whole crust to loosen. Keep crust in the pan. This makes it easier to remove the finished pizza later. Refrigerate, uncovered, until shortly before serving time.

Spread chilled crust with pizza sauce, then cheese and toppings of your choice. Lightly sprinkle with seasonings of your choice. Bake at 375º about 15-20 minutes or until toppings are bubbly. Let stand a few minutes before cutting.

He he, this is fun, some of these are absolute must try's. Another.

Lamb in Palava Sauce (serves "4" (i.e. 2!))

1 red chilli, seeded and chopped
1 inch piece of fresh root ginger, peeled and roughly chopped
2 garlic cloves, peeled
1 onion, half roughly chopped and half sliced
1 tbsp tomato puree
400g can of tomatoes
6 tbsp palm oil or vegetable oil
500g lean lamb, cut into 1 inch cubes
1/2 pint lamb, chicken or veg stock
200g fresh spinach leaves, roughly shredded
2 eggs, beaten

1. Blitz the chilli, ginger, garlic, chopped onion, tomato puree and tomatoes in a food processor until chopped together to make a sauce.

2. Heat the oil in a large frying pan or wok and fry the sliced onion for 2 minutes. Add the lamb and stir fry over a highish heat for 6-7 mins until starting to brown. Pour the tomato sauce over the lamb and bubble rapidly for 2-3 minutes, then stir in the stock and add seasoning to taste. Cover and simmer gently for 40-50 mins, stirring occasionally, until the lamb is tender and the sauce has thickened (it says - although I found I had to take the lid off and turn the heat up for the last 10 mins or so to reduce the liquid, or it would have been soup!)

3. Stir in the spinach so that it wilts, then simmer for 2-3 minutes. Drizzle in the egg and continue to simmer for 2 minute until just set. (I didn't put the egg in because the OH isn't keen, but if anyone makes this I'd be interested to know what happens to the egg!)

All the recipe's above, I found here: http://www.minimins.com/atkins-recipes/ ... cipes.html There are loads more, but I only added the ones that had a carb count. They are all Atkins friendly.

 

[Defren]

I`m going to make that tomorrow!

Are you reading my mind? I thought that too. We will have to compare. Love the sound of the muffins too.

 

[emmatree]

Mmmmm... these all sound lovely!

Just adding the salmon and courgettes, and the sausage muffin ingredients to this weeks shopping list..

I bet the muffins would work quite well with smoked bacon instead of sausages too.

Yes, I bet they would. I think I am beginning to learn that almost all low carb recipes can be tweaked and changed to add much more variety.

I really like the sound of the McMuffins, could have one of those for brekkie. Would definitely add some mushrooms to the mix.

I nearly dropped when I saw 12 eggs (we are on a very verrry limited budget) but seeing as the muffins can be frozen and should last a while, I guess that makes it alright.

Found Cleo's site, have you Defren? :wink:

She's a bloody genius! I made her thin crust pizza and it was awesome. (Chicken and mozerella base - who'd have thought...)

Is it Patch? I dunno, I was rooting for recipes and came across it. Some fab meal idea's on there.

I made the cheeseburger pie tonight. I can't tell you how delicious it was. I served it with cauli mash. I am so full I think I'm going to burst. The great thing with this, all the family sat down to the same meal, which never happens much now. I always seem to be cooking different things.

There is an enormous chunk left, which I am going to wrap in cling film and have with salad tomorrow, actually looking at the size of it, will probably be two meals left. Result!!

 

[Defren]

I`m going to make that tomorrow!

Have you tried it yet? If not you must. It's delicious, easy, and so much left for tomorrow. I see it being a staple here.

I made the ice cream last night.... WOW! it was lovely

 

[WhitbyJet]

Defren, I made the cheeseburger pie, it tastes even nicer the next day reheated, we had it with a huge salad and new potatoes (not for me).
Thanks for posting the recipes, I dont want to be a pain, but wonder if you possibly could copy the recipes with links to the low carb recipes thread, I think it would make it so much easier, esp for newbies to find these recipes.
Thank you x x

Hi WJ I had it reheated today with some mozzarella, totally scrumptious. The link to all these recipes is on this thread. It is the first one after the last recipe (I think). Glad you enjoyed it, as we all enjoy yours.
