Atkins Diet Recipes: Low Carb Faux Fried “Rice”

Posted by admin on March 19th, 2010 and filed under brown fat diet | 25 Comments »

In this Induction-friendly recipe video, I demonstrate one of the most versatile side dishes or main dishes on the Low Carb lifestyle. From Chinese main meal or accompaniment to an Italian replacement for pasta, this faux rice recipe is versatile to say the least. Note: for the Italian alternative, I would eliminate the Chinese flavorings (Soy Sauce, meat, sesame oil, and egg) in favor of more garlic and Italian seasoning and spices. For Induction, you are limited to 1 cup of Cauliflower per day.
This recipe was developed from the original at Linda’s Low Carb recipe site. (http://genaw.com/lowcarb/fried_rice.html)

Here is the ingredients:
2 TBS Cooking oil
4 slices Bacon
1 Medium Size head of Cauliflower (~2 pounds), grated
2 cloves garlic, minced
4 oz of Ham
1/3 cup soy sauce
1 tsp sesame oil
1 egg, beaten
4 green onions, chopped
Black Pepper to taste

* Heat the oil and bacon in large skillet until bacon is slightly browned.
* Grate Cauliflower in Food Processor
* Add Cauliflower, Ham, and Garlic and cook until the cauliflower begins to stick (internal water is evaporated) and getting browned
* Add Soy Sauce and Sesame Oil, heat for 1-2 minutes
* Drag Cauliflower to half of the pan
* Cook beaten egg until scrambled, and mix with Cauliflower mixture.
* Add Green Onion, and Pepper to taste
* Cook 4-5 more minutes

Makes 6 servings

Atkins Diet Recipe: Low Carb Eggplant Parmesan

Posted by admin on February 23rd, 2010 and filed under brown fat diet | 25 Comments »

In another recipe coming out of Jennifer Eloff’s awesome low carb cookbook, Splendid Low Carbing, I prepare a food that I probably would have swore I would never eat — eggplant. In just another one of those amazing things that low carb lifestyle brought to me, my taste buds have changed. I now like eggplant well enough to voluntarily eat it.

Here’s a link to Jennifer’s website:
http://www.low-carb.us/splendalowcarb.shtml

Ingredients:
1 Medium Eggplant, thinly sliced
1 cup of grated parmesan
2 eggs
1 pound ground beef, browned
8 oz Sausage, browned
2 cloves garlic
1.5 cups of No Sugar Added Spaghetti Sauce
1 cup Mozzarella Cheese, shredded

1. Thinly slice eggplant, and put in egg wash.
2. Coat eggplant in Parmesan cheese
3. Heat oil in frying pan, and once hot, fry eggplant 1-2 minutes on each side until golden brown.
4. Brown ground beef and sausage. Once drained, add garlic and spaghetti sauce and heat for 5 minutes while finishing frying eggplant slices.
5. Layer the eggplant, meat mixture, and cheese to form 3 layers. Optional – dust top with excess Parmesan cheese.

Betty’s Christmas Roast Turkey Breast Recipe

Posted by admin on December 25th, 2009 and filed under brown fat diet | 19 Comments »

In this video, Betty demonstrates how to make a Christmas Roast Turkey Breast. This is an 8-pound frozen turkey breast, thawed in the refrigerator for 3 ½ days, prepared with butter and salt, and then roasted in a roasting pan, covered with aluminum foil, in the oven for 4 hours at 325 degrees. During the last hour of roasting, the turkey breast is basted with its own juice occasionally. During the last half hour of roasting, the turkey breast is transferred to a pan that allows the turkey breast to be upright, to brown off the turkey breast. The turkey breast is done when a meat thermometer, inserted into the deepest part, reads 170 to 180 degrees. If you follow the instructions in this video, you will come out with a golden brown turkey breast with lots of delicious roast white meat turkey and turkey stock for gravy for a Christmas meal! Let the cooked turkey breast rest for 15 to 20 minutes before carving. You can see Betty’s Husband, Rick, Carving the Thanksgiving Turkey for information about carving the turkey breast. I will be making and uploading fat-free cream-style gravy from the turkey stock. Happy Holidays from me and my family!!!

Add about a half of cup of water or less into it and then mix in your spices and stir it again. Next add in your mushrooms and brocolli. Turn the skillet down to a simmer and cover for a few minutes. You should end up cooking it for around 6-8 minutes total and stirring it inbetween every 2 minutes. It just depends on how long it takes to get rid of some of the moisture to your preference.

Betty’s Parmesan Chicken Casserole with Wild Rice Recipe

Posted by admin on November 19th, 2009 and filed under brown fat diet | 25 Comments »

In this video, Betty demonstrates how to make her delectable Parmesan Chicken Casserole with Wild Rice recipe. This is not your typical “chicken and rice recipe.” This one sings with flavor!

Ingredients:

2 lb uncooked chicken breasts or chicken breast strips
10 3/4 oz. can condensed cream of mushroom soup
10 3/4 oz. can condensed cream of celery soup
10 3/4 oz. can condensed cream of chicken soup
2 cups milk
1 stick margarine (cut into chunks)
1 box Uncle Ben’s long grain and wild rice (fast cooking recipe)
grated Parmesan cheese to taste (I use about 1/2 can Kraft fat free grated Parmesan cheese)
Cooking spray, if desired

Mix the three cans of soup with 2 cups of milk and 1 stick of margarine in a saucepan. Place the saucepan over low heat as you work on the chicken. Stir the soup mixture occasionally. Now, remove all extra fat, skin, and gristle from the chicken and discard it. Cut the uncooked chicken breast meat into bite-sized chunks (or cubes). When the soup mixture is hot and smooth, start assembling your casserole. Use a large oven-proof casserole dish. I use a 10.5 inch by 14.75 inch by 2.25 inch Pyrex dish. If you don’t have an oven-proof dish this large, make two casseroles with smaller oven-proof dishes and cook for a shorter time. Spray the baking dish with cooking spray, if desired. This is not necessary, because there is enough fat in the sauce from the margarine, but it might make serving a little easier. Now, pour one-half of the soup mixture into the bottom of the baking dish. Lightly and evenly sprinkle the long grain and wild rice over the top of the soup mixture. (You may set aside the seasoning mixture that comes with the box of rice. It will not be used in this recipe.) Next, place the chunks of uncooked chicken breast evenly over the top of the rice. Now, pour the remaining soup mixture over the top of the chicken chunks. Finish off the casserole by generously sprinkling the top with Parmesan cheese. It is important that you sprinkle plenty of the Parmesan cheese. Bake the casserole in an oven that has been preheated to 350 degrees. (I cover the casserole with aluminum foil, bake for about 1 hour, then remove the foil and brown the top for about 15 minutes.) You may omit the aluminum foil and cook the casserole for 1 hour and 15 minutes; it won’t be quite as saucy. Serve while hot. I assure you that this will become one of your go-to entrees! It’s terrific!!!
