I wish there was a place to put "finds" for those who have been striving for a high-fat, low carb diet. I'm constantly seeking ways to make new items and I am still struggling to get enough fat in the diet.
My two best finds have been to use pork rinds as a breading on pork chops and mashed cauliflower.
For the breading, I crushed the pork rinds using my small food processor. I fried the pork chops in bacon grease. It was satisfying and really good EXCEPT...the pork chops were a bit thick and I had to finish them in the oven so the crust lost a bit of its crunch. However it was tasty even to the person who does not like pork rinds. I think I am going to try fish next.
The mashed cauliflower has been terrific! I nuke mine in a covered bowl for 10 to 12 minutes (until it is very done.) Then I put it in the food processor with whatever else I will blend up with it.
- cream cheese, butter, a bit of heavy cream, salt & pepper = creamy and very mashed potato-like.
- dill, sour cream, cream cheese, and garlic were tasty.
- my friend loves cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, and butter.
- I think I will try bacon bits and cheese soon...maybe even sprinkle some diced green onion.
I find the mashed cauliflower heats well, but it has a bit of a cauliflower smell when reheated.
I'm curious what others have found.
