Stuffed Meatloaf - With Pulled Pork & Cheese

This stuffed meatloaf with pulled pork & cheese is a real meat monster. It takes a few hours of cooking time, but the waiting is definitely worth it. In addition, this meatloaf is delicious, extremely satiating and perfectly suitable for a ketogenic diet.

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.

Keto Scotch Eggs – With Liquid Egg Yolk

KetoKookin' — Sun, 24 Mar 2019 09:48:07 +0000

Keto Scotch Eggs - With Liquid Egg Yolk

These keto scotch eggs are pretty easy to make with only 2 main ingredients: eggs & ground beef. They are low carb friendly, satiating and taste delicious, especially when prepared in a deep fryer.

CourseMain Dish
Keywordbeef, boiled eggs, dairy free, eggs, fried ground beef, fried meat, ground beef, pan fried, stuffed stuff

Servings5 eggs

Prep Time15 minutes

Cook Time20 minutes

Passive Time2-3 hours

Ingredients

6 eggs
500gram ground beef

Seasonings

1teaspoon(s) Salt
1teaspoon(s) Pepper
0.5teaspoon(s) Paprika
1pinch Cumin

Instructions

First, poke 5 of the eggs and cook them in an egg cooker for about 2 minutes. Of course, you can do that in a pot with boiling water, too. Take the eggs right out of the fridge, then put them into the egg cooker or boiling water. You only want the very outer egg white layer to become solid
Then, chill the eggs under running cold water or -even better- put them in a bowl with water & ice. Do that for 1-2 minutes to make sure the eggs are completely cooled down
Now, put the eggs into your freezer for 2-3 hours until they are completely frozen
When the eggs are frozen, prepare the ground beef mixture. For that, put the ground beef into a bowl, add 1 egg & all seasonings. Next, mix it thoroughly with your hands or a hand mixer with dough hooks
Now, take the eggs out of the freezer and carefully peel them
Afterwards, take about 1/5 of the ground beef mixture, put it onto a cutting board and press it flat to a burger patty shape. If it sticks to the cutting board use a spatula to slide between the board & patty and detach it
Next, place 1 egg centered onto the patty, then wrap it by pulling the beef mixture up from the sides. Make sure that you don't leave any big gaps
Repeat these steps for each egg. Do them fast as the eggs are thawing already, but still be careful so you won't break them
Now, preheat a pan with your preferred fat for frying to low-medium heat. Use a huge amount of fat (e.g. lard, beef towel, coconut oil) to prevent sticking - it's even better to fill up a pot with fat or simply use a deep fryer
Finally, fry the balls evenly for 15-20 minutes until the ground beef is brown and slightly crispy. If you use the deep fry method at medium-high heat it only takes about 5 minutes

Recipe Notes

The additional egg in the ground beef mixture helps to hold everything together. I didn't do this here, but highly recommend it as the result will be better that way.

Also, deep frying is the best method to cook these, because they get fried more evenly and are done faster.

Serve with any side dish you like - e.g. oven baked broccoli, fried string beans or cauliflower mash. I simply added some low carb ketchup & mayo.

Tip: If you want to go full pro add a layer of "breading" around the ground beef. You could use crunched pork rinds / crispy bacon bits for that.

Shrimp Stuffed Meatballs – Keto Shrimp Balls

Shrimp Stuffed Meatballs - Keto Shrimp Balls

Surf and Turf in meatball form? Make it happen with these shrimp stuffed meatballs that I created. They are a perfect low carb alternative to usual shrimp balls, taste delicious and go well with fried vegetables or some avocado on the side.

CourseMain Dish
Keywordbeef, butter, fried ground beef, fried meat, ground beef, lemon juice, pan fried, seafood, soy sauce

Servings4 big meatballs

Prep Time5 minutes

Cook Time35 minutes

Ingredients

Shrimps

150gram shrimpsfrozen or fresh - peeled & deveined - small shrimps or chopped big ones
50gram butter
10milliliter lemon juice
5milliliter soy saucetamari, gluten free
1tablespoon(s) sichuan pepper
Salt
Pepper
Garlic powder

Meatball Mixture

500gram ground beef
2 eggs
1teaspoon(s) Salt
Pepper
Cumin
1 onionsdiced

Instructions

Shrimps

First, put the shrimps into a pan on low-medium heat and (if frozen) let them thaw for 2-3 minutes before adding the butter. If you use fresh shrimps add the butter and shrimps simultaneously
Let the shrimps cook in the butter for about 5 minutes, then add all remaining ingredients for the shrimps (lemon juice, soy sauce, sichuan pepper, salt, pepper & a pinch of garlic powder)
Now, stir everything and cook it on low heat for about 10 minutes while stirring occasionally. Cook until the water from the shrimps and butter is evaporated and the shrimps get a light golden brown color

Meatballs

While the shrimps are cooking, prepare the meatball mixture. Add the ground beef, eggs & seasonings to a bowl and mix them thoroughly with your hands or a hand mixer with dough hooks
When you have a homogeneous mixture, add the onions and mix everything once more
Now, split the mixture into 4-5 parts, put them onto a plate or breadboard and gently press them into -about 3/4 cm (or 1/3 inch) thick- patties
When the shrimps are finished, place them in the middle of the beef patties. If you like it a bit spicier add some of the sichuan pepper from the pan, too
Now, wrap the patties' edges to the top until everything is closed and use your hands to gently press them into a ball shape
Finally, fry the meatballs evenly for about 15 minutes on low-medium heat first and 3-5 minutes on medium-high heat afterwards in order to get a nice brown color and some roasting flavor

Recipe Notes

For a dairy free alternative, just replace the butter with coconut oil or lard.

I also added some mayonnaise and an avocado that I sprinkled with some salt & pepper on the side.

If you want a great sauce to go with your meatballs simply add about 150 gram cream to the pan with the remaining grease after frying and taking the meatballs out.
Then, let the cream cook on medium heat while stirring until it is reduced to your desired thickness. This works great with coconut milk/cream, too.
In case you don't want to use cream, slice 2-3 onions and cook them on low-medium heat in the remaining grease until they start to dissolve and everything thickens to a sauce.
