Keto Egg Muffins - With Avocado, Parmesan & Mushrooms
These keto egg muffins with avocado, mushrooms & Parmesan cheese make an awesome dish for meal prepping. Just prepare a batch and have them for breakfast, lunch at work or as a snack. They are very satiating, nutritious and perfect for low carb diets. In addition, it only takes about 20 minutes and pretty low effort to prepare them.
In the meantime, mix all ingredients in a bowl with a hand mixer or eggbeater
Then, pour the mixture directly from the bowl into muffin molds or a muffin tray or use a ladle to pour it in
Finally, bake the muffins for about 20 minutes until they are solid and let them cool down for 10 minutes afterwards.
You can use a chopstick to test if they are done, by sticking it into a muffin and pulling it out again. If there are no wet residues on the chopstick, the muffins are done.
Easy Pulled Pork - Braised Pork Neck With Onion Gravy
This is my foolproof, super easy pulled pork recipe for which you don't even need a smoker or barbecue grill. It is simply a matter of searing the meat in a pot and braising it for a few hours until most of the water is evaporated. In addition to that, the onion gravy sauce that is prepared with the meat stock really tops it off.
First, melt the coconut oil in a medium-big pot on medium heat and sear the pork neck in it on each side, for about 5 minutes in total
Next, pour about 3-5 liters of water into the pot. Add enough water to cover the meat, then add about 1/3 to 1/2 of that volume of water on top. So, if you need 3 liters to cover the meat, add 1 to 1.5 liters on top
Now, add the salt, pepper & cumin and put a lid on the pot, but leave a small gap so the water is able to evaporate
Let the pork neck cook on low-medium heat for 4-5 hours until you have 400-500 milliliter of water left and the meat is tender. Then, you can turn the plate off. Make sure to flip the meat 2-3 times within the last 2 hours, if it is not completely covered with water anymore
Sauce
When the pork neck is done, melt the butter in a pan on low-medium heat. Then, add the onions and fry them for 5-10 minutes until they become golden brown
Now, add salt, pepper & -if you like- a minced garlic clove and fry everything for about 1 minute while stirring
Next, add about 400 milliliter of meat stock from the pot with the pork neck to the pan in order to deglaze the onions
Finally, let everything cook for 10-15 minutes while stirring occasionally until you have a sauce of your desired thickness. In the meantime, cover the pot containing the meat with a lid to keep it warm
Recipe Notes
The method in this recipe works with nearly any type of meat, but best with cuts that contain fat & some gristle like beef shank or ham hock.
You may also enhance the sauce by deglazing the onions with red wine and let it cook for a minute before adding the meat stock.
These easy keto cookies are prepared within 30 minutes using only a few ingredients. They taste delicious and are nicely soft inside. In addition, the simple low carb cookie dough can be modified easily according to your taste by adding chocolate chips or cacao powder.
Now, add all ingredients to a bowl and mix them thoroughly with a hand mixer or eggbeater until you have a homogenous mixture
Then, put a piece of baking paper onto a baking tray and use a spoon to put 4 equally sized blobs of the dough on it
Next, gently press the blobs into a cookie shape with a fork until they have about 1 centimeter (0.4 inches) of thickness and poke some holes into the dough afterwards
Finally, put the baking tray into the oven for about 20 minutes until the cookies get some brown color. They are perfect if they have a slight crispness outside and are still soft inside
Recipe Notes
You may also add a pinch of cinnamon or some pure cacao powder to the dough if you like.
For the cacao, I'd recommend using 1-2 teaspoons.
Another way to modify these cookies is adding about 1 tablespoon of low carb chocolate chips to the dough right in the beginning, simply sprinkle some on top before baking or making a chocolate frosting after the cookies are baked and cooled down.
