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.

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.

Easy Liver Burger – With Beef Liver & Chicken Hearts

KetoKookin' — Mon, 11 Feb 2019 15:35:57 +0000

Easy Liver Burger - With Beef Liver & Chicken Hearts

These beef liver burger are easily prepared within only 30 minutes. In addition, they taste delicious and are packed with valuable and essential nutrients due to the organ meats containing multiple vitamins as well as iron, copper and choline which is important for brain development and liver function.

CourseMain Dish
Keywordbeef, burger patty, chicken hearts, dairy free, fried meat, liver, organ meat, pan fried, under 30 minutes, zero carb

Servings6 patties

Prep Time2 minutes

Cook Time20 minutes

Ingredients

300gram beef liverroughly cut pieces
300gram chicken hearts
1 eggs

Seasonings

1teaspoon Salt
1teaspoon Pepper
1teaspoon Cumin

Instructions

First, put the beef liver, chicken hearts & all seasonings into your food processor
Then, mince everything for about 30 seconds, add the egg and mince again for a few seconds until everything is mixed. To give the burgers a better consistency you may also add 1-2 tablespoons of coconut / almond flour or psyllium husk powder at this step
Now, add some coconut oil or your preferred fat for frying to a pan and heat it up to low-medium heat. A non-stick pan would be perfect. In case you don't have one make sure to use enough fat to prevent sticking
Next, use a spoon to put blobs of the meat mixture -with about 0.8 centimeters (about 1/3 inch) of thickness- into the pan
Let the burgers fry slowly, for about 10 minutes, before flipping to make sure that they don't fall apart. It is easiest to wait until they start to become solid and coloured on their top's edges
After flipping, fry for another 5-10 minutes until the burgers have reached your desired color. I like them to be more on the dark brown side

If you want the meal to be more saturating you could also add some shredded cheese before putting the baking tray into the oven. Gouda or cheddar cheese would fit pretty well.
