Saag paneer:

Okay it does have onion ML but in the grand scheme of things I dont think it's gonna make a difference. Okay here goes I never measure so I'll try and give exact amounts.

Table spoon of any oil or butter ot ghee I used olive
Small sprinkle of mustard seeds (or cumin if you have/or both) Optional dont worry if you cant source
Tea spoon curry or chilli powder (if you live near any asian food shops invest in some kashmiri mixed spices and this is all you'll ever need for any curry.
Tea spoon chilli flakes
Small onion finely chopped
2-3 cloves garlic crushed (optional/or half tea spoon ginger powder)
small sprout sized ginger crushed (optional/or same as above)
Small tomato chopped
300g Spinach/or baby spinach/bunches or pre-packed
Paneer/Feta/Halloumi 50g which ever you want or can find.

Heat the oil and add mustard/cumin seeds until the M seeds start to pop or the cumin starts to turn brown and releases an aroma, add and fry the onion until suateed add the tomato, add chilli powder stir fry untill the chilli powder turns goldenie and the oil separates from the onion and tomato. Add the chilli flakes and stir for a further 2-3mins add a little water throughout to stop from sticking. Add the spinach and let it simmer until it wilts. Then add the cheese and turn the heat up and dry out the saag until desired consistency. This will make 4 around 4 batches depending how much you dry it out and can be frozen. This is so versatile I would roughly use this to make almost all veg curries.

I've worked it out as 10 g of carbs for the whole pot, my oh and I shared it with cauli rice, I added chopped aubergine, and used 2 spring onions instead of normal onions, it was absolutely delicious, I didn't want it to finish!
 
made the scotch eggs and used parmesan as a breadcrumb alternative.... the other half announced after eating 2 'i always thought breadcrumbs were overated'
oh and they didnt last long!
 
Lisa's Lovely Courgette Loaf

Grate a large courgette and leave to drain in kitchen roll otherwise it will be too wet.

Beat 2 eggs and add 50g cheese. Season with salt and pepper and anything else you fancy, maybe some garlic or chilli.

Chop a small onion (maybe not for induction but could use roughly chopped spring onions)

Mix all ingredients together and put into a loaf tin. I used a silicon one and it was about half full.

Bake at 160 degrees (mines a fan oven) for about 25-30 mins until its browned on top and springy to touch.

I sliced it and it didn't crumble so the egg and cheese ratio must have been about right. It was like a quiche consistency.


Thanks Lisa! :)
 
Egg Nests

egg-nests.jpg
I made these before low carbing and everyone loves them. It's a French recipe from a 1960's child's cook book. I change the cheese depending on what I have - parmesan is a firm favourite.

Nid d'oeuf or Egg nests
2 eggs
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup of Gruyere

Preheat the oven to 450/230/gas 8
Separate the eggs and put the yolks into individual cups or ramekins
Whisk the whites in a clean bowl with the salt until stiff. Carefully fold in the cheese, keeping as much air in as possible. Don't worry if it's a little unevenly distributed.
Put 2 mounds of the egg white and cheese mix onto a lined baking tray and make a little well in the centre of each.
Put them in the oven for around 3 minutes, or until they start to go brown. Whip them out, pop a yolk into the little wells in the middle and stick back in for another 3 mins.

Nom, nom, nom

Paleo friendly mushroom korma - courtesy of the fab blog Lowcarbotopia


Ingredients
Closed cup mushrooms
Coconut milk
Dessicated coconut
Ground almonds
Cayenne pepper
Garam masala
Salt and pepper to taste
Turmeric
Tiny tiny pinch of Splenda®

I literally tossed this lot into a saucepan so I don't have measurements - but the method is:

Lightly sauté the mushrooms in a knob of butter, added the spices and continued to warm through, then add the coconut milk to make a sauce. The dessicated coconut and ground almonds are there to give the sauce more texture - so add to taste. Add a pinch of Splenda® to round out the flavour. (You could use honey or your favourite sweetener of choice if you prefer to avoid synthetic sweeteners.)
 
mmm, i love mushrooms, i suppose you could add chicken if you are not concerned about the vegginess of it.

CHEESY BREAD PIZZA CRUST

3 large eggs
3 tablespoons buttermilk -- (or dry red wine)
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1/3 cup Parmesan cheese (I used the canned)
3 tablespoons almond flour
1 tablespoon psyllium seed husk powder
1 tablespoon nutritional yeast flakes
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
2 drops liquid sucralose -- (OR sweetener equal to 1 tbsp.)--optional but I think it adds to the flavor

Preheat oven to 350F. Place parchment paper onto 12-inch pizza pan or baking sheet.

In small bowl, combine eggs, buttermilk OR wine, olive oil, Parmesan Cheese, almond flour, psyllium powder, nutritional flakes, baking powder, and liquid sucralose. With electric mixer, beat until smooth. Let sit a minute to thicken slightly.

Pour out onto pizza pan OR baking sheet, and spread evenly with spatula until it reaches the edges of the pan. Bake about 15 minutes. Remove from oven and top with your favorite sauce and pizza toppings and bake longer until cheese is melted.

Cut into 8 slices.
