Prep Time20 minutes

Cook Time1 hour

Passive Time6 hours

Ingredients

800gram pork shoulderalternatively: pork neck
1kilogram ground beefalternatively: minced pork or a mix of ground beef & pork
3 eggs
175gram gouda cheeseshredded

Seasonings

2teaspoon(s) Salt
1.5teaspoon(s) Pepper
1teaspoon(s) Paprika
1teaspoon(s) Cumin
0.5teaspoon(s) Cayenne pepperoptional

Instructions

First, use the pork shoulder to make pulled pork. I used a stewing pan in which I seared the meat, then added some water and put the pan into the oven for about 6 hours, with the lid on.
If you are not sure on how to prepare it, just use my easy and foolproof method for which you don't even need a stewing pan: Easy Pulled Pork Recipe
When the pork is about to be done, start to prepare the meat mixture. For that, put the ground beef, eggs & all seasonings into a bowl and mix everything thoroughly until it is a homogeneous mixture. You may use a food processor or simply mix it using your hands
In the meantime, preheat your oven to 150°C (300°F)
Take the pork out of the stewing pan / pot, remove all bones, pull the meat apart and keep it on a plate or in a bowl. Then, put a piece of cling film onto a cutting board. This helps to wrap the meatloaf up
Now, spread the meat mixture on the cling film, as evenly as possible
Afterwards, add the stuffings on top. Spread the pulled pork evenly and the cheese only on one half
Then, use the cling film to wrap everything up. Start on the cheese side first to make sure that the cheese will be completely wrapped up and can't leak out
When it is all wrapped up, put the loaf onto a baking tray with parchment paper and carefully remove the cling film
Finally, bake the meatloaf in the oven for about 1 hour

Recipe Notes

Of course, you may also use any other cheese you prefer, like mozzarella, parmesan or cheddar.

The pulled pork turns out great if you use pork neck instead of shoulder, too. It may be even better as pork neck usually is a little fattier then shoulder and therefore juicier & more flavorful.

Simple Keto Gyro – From Fresh Pork Ham

Simple Keto Gyro - From Fresh Pork Ham

This keto gyro is simple to prepare and brings the typical, delicious greek flavor & smell into your kitchen. It's satiating and suitable for keto & low carb diets, especially low carb high protein or carnivorous ones. All it needs is a nice piece of fresh pork, seasonings and some fat for marinading & frying the meat.

CourseMain Dish
CuisineCarnivore, Greek, Low Carb High Protein
Keyworddairy free, fried meat, marinated, one pan meal, pan fried, pork, pork ham, spicy

Servings3 people

Prep Time15 minutes

Cook Time15 minutes

Passive Time2 hours

Ingredients

900gram pork hamfresh, without bone - one piece
35gram lardalternatively: coconut oil or heatable olive oil

Seasonings

2teaspoon(s) Salt
2teaspoon(s) Pepper
2teaspoon(s) Paprika
3teaspoon(s) Thymedried
2teaspoon(s) Rosemarydried
2teaspoon(s) Marjoramdried
1teaspoon(s) Corianderdried
1teaspoon(s) Cumindried
0.5teaspoon(s) Garlic powder
0.5teaspoon(s) Cayenne pepperor other chili powder (optional)

Instructions

First, put the piece of pork ham into the freezer for 1.5 to 2 hours. You want it to be frozen, but still cuttable. This makes the next step very easy
When the meat is stiff, take it out of the freezer and cut it into thin slices
After that, put the sliced meat into a big bowl & add all seasonings. Just spread them on top of the meat
Now, melt the lard or coconut oil in the microwave for 20-30 seconds. If you are using heatable olive oil you don't need to melt it, of course. Then, pour the fat onto the meat and immediately start to mix everything thoroughly
Afterwards, let the seasoned meat stand for about 10-15 minutes to give it a chance to soak in some seasoning. The longer you let it stand the better
Next, preheat a pan (with your preferred fat for frying) to low-medium heat. Add the meat and let it fry for about 5-10 minutes with a lid on
Finally, remove the lid and fry for another 5-10 minutes while stirring occasionally until you have some crispy bits and roasting flavors (browned meat). Take care that you don't fry it for too long as fresh pork ham is pretty tender and can dry out fast

Recipe Notes

To make it even better, you may prepare & marinade the meat in the morning or one day in advance and let it soak in the seasonings for a longer period of time. Simply let it stand for 1-2 hours or longer instead of 10-15 minutes. If you prepare it a day in advance, put the bowl into your fridge and cover it with cling film.

The seasonings are amazing for marinading pork chops or spice up some ground beef, too.
In addition, you could use pork loin instead of ham or try it with other cuts.

Serve with any keto friendly side dish you like, e.g. salad, fried / baked vegetables, some eggs or simply a low carb condiment.

Bacon Wrapped Beef Liver Roulade – Stuffed with Spinach & Feta Cheese

KetoKookin' — Sun, 17 Mar 2019 16:49:21 +0000

Bacon Wrapped Beef Liver Roulade - Stuffed with Spinach & Feta Cheese

This recipe for bacon wrapped beef liver roulade, stuffed with spinach & feta cheese, is super delicious and easy to make. The flavors complement each other perfectly. In addition, it's a very nutrient dense and therefore satiating dish. Of course, you could also use other stuffings

CourseMain Dish
Keywordbacon wrapped, beef, feta cheese, liver, organ meat, oven baked, roulade, spinach, stuffed stuff

Servings2 roulades

Prep Time10 minutes

Cook Time30 minutes

Ingredients

300gram beef liver2 pieces
100gram spinachpre-cooked
100gram feta cheesecut into dices or cuboids
200gram baconabout 16 slices

Seasonings

1pinch Salt
1pinch Pepper
1pinch Cayenne pepperoptional

Instructions

First, preheat your oven to 170°C (340°F)
Put the beef liver on a cutting board and beat the pieces with a meat hammer to make them flatter. You don't need to flip them, it is enough if you just hit from one side. Also, make sure that you don't hit too hard as the meat already is pretty tender and you don't want to create holes
Next, add the seasonings, also from one side only - this will be the inside. Then, spread the spinach (e.g. with a spoon) on the pieces
Afterwards, put the feta cheese on top. Place it centered and only on one half of the liver pieces. This way it is easier to roll them up
Now, roll the liver up. Start on the side with the cheese to make sure it is in the center of the roulade
After that, create a bacon weave of 4-5 slices on top of each roulade. Lift each one up with one hand while wrapping the bacon around the bottom with the other hand
If you have small packets, wrap another layer of bacon around them to make sure everything is nicely wrapped without any big gaps and place the roulades on a baking tray with parchment paper
Finally, put the baking tray into the oven and bake the roulades for 25-30 minutes until the bacon becomes brown and crispy

Recipe Notes

You probably could skip the meat hammer step if your beef liver pieces already are pretty flat (about 0.5cm / 0.2in of thickness).

If they are way too thick, lay them on the cutting board.
Then, cut from one side with a sharp knife until you nearly reached the end of the other side.
Now, you can simply fold out the pieces and have thinner ones.

At step 3 I used frozen spinach which I thawed & pre-cooked in the microwave for about 3 minutes while beating up the liver:

Of course, you may also use different stuffings.

One idea that I've had was pizza stuffing with tomato paste or fresh tomatoes, mozzarella cheese & Italian / Mediterranean herbs (oregano, rosemary, thyme). Maybe with some additional ground beef, pepperoni, fried chicken or even pulled pork.

Oven Baked Pork Back – Easy Slow Cooked Pork Back

KetoKookin' — Sun, 09 Dec 2018 13:33:38 +0000

Oven Baked Pork Back - Easy Slow Cooked Pork Back

This pork back recipe is very easy to cook with just a few minutes of preparation. You only need a piece of pork back, some butter or olive oil & seasonings. In addition, you can make a delicious sauce from the meat juice and the meat even tastes great when eaten cold after cooking.

CourseMain Dish
Keywordoven baked, pork, pork back, slow cooked, zero carb

Servings4 people

Prep Time3 minutes

Cook Time3-4 hours

Ingredients

1.4kg pork backone piece, also called pork loin
30gram butteralternitavely olive oil

Seasonings

2teaspoons Salt
2teaspoons Pepper
0.5teaspoons Cumin
0.5teaspoons Cayenne pepperchili powder works as well, but is spicier

Instructions

First, preheat your oven to 120°C (248°F) and put the pork back onto a baking tray with baking paper
In the meantime, put the butter into a small microwave-suited bowl and melt it in the microwave. It takes about 15-20 seconds at 900W and the butter should not be too hot to touch it. Skip this step if you use olive oil
Then, add all seasonings to the butter and mix them in with a spoon
Now, pour the butter/seasoning mixture onto the pork back and use your hands to spread it. Make sure that the complete surface of your pork back is covered. Do it fast if you took the meat right out of the fridge, because then the butter will solidify again on its cold surface area
Finally, put the baking tray into the oven and cook the pork back for about 3 hours

Recipe Notes

You can check if the pork back is done to your preference by using a meat thermometer.
If the core temperature reaches 70-75°C (158-167°F) the meat is medium-well. If its core temperature reaches 80-85°C (176-185°F) it is well done, but not as tender anymore.

In addition, you may also use the juice from the baking tray to make a delicious gravy sauce or simply pour it over the vegetables you may have made as a side dish.
For a sauce, simply fry 2 onions with butter in a pan (until golden brown), then pour in the meat juice and let everything cook until it is reduced to your desired thickness.
If you don't want to use onions, replace them with 100ml (about 3oz) cream in order to get thickness to the sauce.
