What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)

That Dishoom restaurant sounds special @shelley262. I believe there's a branch in Covent Gargen. Must pay it a visit soon.

We have visited that London branch a couple of times previously. the food is lovely and based on a mix of Persian and Indian with an English influence. Easy to choose some low carb options I find but like a lot of restaurants you need to be careful. Some of the more Persian dishes are sweeter and to be avoided!
 
Thanks for the tip @shelley262. I'll bear that in mind.
 
Finally a proper meal cooked for myself again in no idea how long!
Quick too, took me all of 10 minutes to prepare I think.

A pre-spiced pork chop, rather thin so quick to cook, very tasty too.
Runner beans, after boiling I put them back in the pan, added some peas from a can and Danish blue to melt.
Found some leftover grated cheese in the fridge so I added that as well.

 
Breakfast kefir with spoon of low carb no grains granola
Lunch a slice of Welsh air dried 'parma' ham with bits of organic stilton, vintage cheddar, a few walnuts and low carb seeded crackers with a few garden tomatoes, celery and olives

Dinner wild salmon with garden peas followed by garden raspberries and yoghurt
 

Perfect looking lunch!
 
Breakfast: my usual low carb coconut ‘porridge’ with strawberries washed down with a black coffee.
Late morning: black coffee and a carb killa bar.
Skipped lunch.
Mid afternoon: black coffee and another carb killa bar.
Dinner: LC pizza with coleslaw.

 
Same evening meal as yesterday: A pre spiced pork chop with runner beans and tinned peas with melted Danish Blue cheese.
Yesterday I had grated cheese on top, today it was 3 paper thin rashers of bacon. I know our Dutch bacon rashers are much thinner than yours but I'd never seen anything like this before. Very crispy and tasty so not complaining.

I bet that lunch tasted wonderful @shelley262. With all those contrasting flavours and textures, who says LC food is boring?

Funny you should ask that! I was trying to remember as I posted the photo and even though it was only a few hours after I’d eaten it, I couldn’t actually remember!! My memory is getting terrible, I know it was all low carb and delicious. Herbs, olive oil, maybe pine nuts? I’m going to have to go back and look ( and have it again, it was delicious)
 
Could the green colour come from avocado? @DJC3.
Regardless, it looks like a gastronomic winner.

Never tire of scallops. Often enjoy them with my breakfast eggs on Saturdays when I there's a little more time for preparation.

I had a beef madras this evening. It was from Iceland; I didn't make it, and if I did I wouldn't have put a four chilli rating on it! Covid has visited me this week, so I haven't felt much like cooking. However I did add my own mushrooms, and had it with fried cauliflower rice.
