low carb recipes
I surfed some low carb web sites this afternoon and the
recipes I saw were absolutely delicious! Here are some of the yummies I found: Stuffed Mushrooms http://www.e-clipse.com/recipes.htm 20 large fresh mushrooms 1/2 pound sausage 2 green onion -- with 1/2 stem 1 block Philadelphia cream cheese Preparation: stem mushrooms, fry cut up stems with sausage, add chopped onion to sausage mixture, cook till done. Add cream cheese and stir till mixed will. Fill mushrooms with mixture. Bake in 350 degree oven 15-20 min or golden brown. Creamed Spinach http://www.e-clipse.com/recipes.htm 10 ounces frozen spinach 1 clove garlic -- chopped, large clove 1 tablespoon unsalted butter 1/2 cup heavy cream -- approximately 1 pinch thyme freshly ground pepper 1/3 cup parmesan cheese -- freshly grated, approximate 1/2 teaspoon apple cider vinegar -- (1/2 to 1), or another kind 1 pinch ground nutmeg Cook spinach as directed and drain for as long as your patience permits (squeezing it with towels to speed drying up) and set aside. Using a skillet recently used for frying bacon but with the grease poured out, melt butter over moderate heat. Brown garlic in butter, throwing in thyme and pepper (to taste) just before garlic is lightly browned. Immediately throw in spinach and warm it up before adding cream and vinegar. Stir, being sure to get every bit of bacon stuck in pan. When mixture starts to thicken up, add cheese and take off burner. The cheese will continue melting. Sprinkle a bit of nutmeg and give it a final stir or two. Chicken Picardy with Dill Sauce Servings: 4 www.carbhealth.com Recipe By : Marcel Kerval 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts 4 spinach leaves 4 leeks 4 shallots -- finely chopped 8 medium fresh mushrooms -- finely chopped 1 pinch salt -- to taste 1 pinch white pepper -- to taste 1 1/2 cups chicken stock -- in baking pan 4 fluid ounces white wine 1 cup leeks (green part only) -- sliced TO PREPARE CHICKEN PICARDY: Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees F. Prepare eight squares of aluminum foil by cutting foil into sheets (6" x 6") and buttering them lightly on the shiny side. Bone and skin chicken breasts. DO NOT HALVE. Flatten breasts between sheets of waxed paper with knife edge and place each breast on a square of foil. Soak leeks. Separate and rinse well under running water to remove sand. Finely slice green portion, allotting 1/2 green portion of a leek to each breast. Chop mushrooms, spinach leaves, and shallots, allowing 2 mushrooms per portion. Saute this mixture very briefly (about 30 seconds) in a little butter over medium heat. Place 1/4 of mixture on each breast. Splash about 1 ounce white wine over each breast, salt and pepper to taste, and roll up each breast. Seal each breast in an aluminum foil square. Fold ends tightly to seal. Place prepared chicken into a baking pan filled with 2 or 3 inches of chicken stock and bake in a pre-heated oven for 25 minutes. Saute cup of sliced leeks in butter over medium heat. TO SERVE: Unwrap chicken breasts and slice into 1/4-inch rounds. Pour a portion of Dill Sauce on a plate. Lay chicken rounds over sauce and garnish with sauteed leek slices and serve. Dill Sauce for Chicken Picardy 1/2 cup dry white wine 2 shallots -- finely chopped 1/2 cup chicken stock 2 fluid ounces heavy cream 1 teaspoon clarified butter 2 tablespoons fresh dill -- chopped TO PREPARE DILL SAUCE: Add clarified butter to a medium saucepan. Over medium heat, add shallots and saute. Quickly add chicken stock, white wine, and heavy cream. Reduce by half and add chopped fresh dill. Servings: 4 Cabbage-Sausage-Beef Goulash Recipe By : Jo Anne Merrill 1 pound pork sausage 1 pound ground beef 1 onion -- chopped 28 ounces chopped tomatoes 6 ounces tomato paste 2 tablespoons vinegar 1 tablespoon chili powder 1 teaspoon garlic powder 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes 10 cups shredded cabbage * The spiciness of the pork depends upon your taste. Experiment with a mixture of mild and hot. In a large kettle, brown sausage, beef and onion; drain well. Add remaining ingredients except cabbage, mix well. Stir in cabbage and simmer 20-25 minutes or until cabbage is tender. sf Practice safe eating - always use condiments |

For what it's worth, excessively high-protein diets wear your kidneys out
prematurely. Carbohydrates are the base of the nutritional pyramid. All foods are converted... unless they get stored as fat. Even excess protein calories will be stored as fat. |

After all, what the low-carbers are eating now already existed before the low-carb craze. The spinach recipe puzzles me. Vinegar will curdle cream; I make creamed spinach without that addition.

Don't see why it's necessary even if it wouldn't curdle the cream. Steamed until wilted fresh spinach, chopped, butter, garlic, cream, freshly grated parm, salt pepper and a pinch of nutmeg. Not really a recipe, just something to throw together. Jill |

I said, "excessively hi-protein diets". I was citing a textbook, "Modern Fundamentals of Nutrition". But I do need to clarify, to me "low-carb" does not equate to only reduced intake of processed flour and sugar. Less flour and sugar is definitely a good thing. But those are only two carb sources. If that is what "low-carb" refers to, it is confusing. Most fresh fruits and veggies are primarily carb, water and fiber, almost none are _complete_ protein, no? When I hear "carbohydrate", I think outside the flour/sugar box. What contributes MOST to weight-gain is higher caloric intake than one expends, as in not enough exercise, regardless of whether it is carb, lipid or protein. If one wants to lose weight, the first place to start is to get off that ass. LOL As far as conspiracy theories of the nutritional pyramid go, why do you trust your sources unless there is long-standing unbiased research and data to support it? Looking for a particular results in experiments is not scientific. That is sort of the... "this charm repels elephants. You don't find any elephants here, do you?" approach. The heredity, age and life-style of subjects has to be given as much weight as their diet. |

The sources listed above may indeed be authoritative. I'm sure it is apparent that I don't know enough about "low-carb" diet to speak as an authority on that subject. LOL, I am not even sure if the term "low-carb" means specifically reduction of processed grains (flour) and sugar, or ALL carbohydrates. Which is it? Though nutrition should be a concern of professional cooks, that isn't my primary interest. Don't take the tone of my writing as if I am presenting myself as an authority. I just know what I was taught, when it comes to nutrition. And one of the things I was taught was to question "facts", out of the mainstream, presented by anyone with a profit motive. Now, back to......... cooking........ |

Which is it? It would be ALL carbs, BUT... the key word is "reduction." Unless one eats nothing but meat, carbohydrates are included in every food. It's common for people to think that low-carb means NO-carb, but that just isn't true. Low-carbing means cutting back on carbohydrates (no matter the source) but it doesn't mean eliminating them completely. >And one of the things I was taught was to question "facts", out The majority of people who have succeeded on a low-carb food plan have nothing to gain monetarily, but everything to gain as far as their health is concerned. And do remember, many of the things we take for granted in our world today were totally dismissed just a few years ago. It's good to educate yourself.
