Another look at Low Carb Recipes : restaurantesanmarco.net

If you are looking for recipes with reduced carbs that you can try, you can find a lot of them online as well as in cooking books. After looking through countless recipes both online and in cookbooks, here are the top 10 highly suggested recipes. Low carb recipes can differ greatly, ranging from salads to meat dishes and to egg dishes, such as omelets.

When it comes to desserts low in carbs, they need their own separate introduction. There are simple recipes involving melting dark chocolate and whipping it with coconut milk to make chocolate mousse. You can also choose from complicated dishes that involve the use of spices and some baking. Some of those can be amazingly delicious so much so that you completely forget that it?s low carb food! It is for this reason that both savory foods and desserts are included in the following list.

Low carb recipes are basically like recipes for any other dish, and so there?s plenty of variety. The only glaring difference lies in the lack of certain ingredients such as potatoes and flour. But sauces, pastas and some baked goods make use of flour and potatoes. However, many still were able to come up with recipes that replicate the full carb dishes with low carb ones, such as in the case of low carb spaghetti, meatballs, and soups. Although they do not taste like the original dishes, they are still delicious and tasty. For that reason, they might as well be called faux dishes.

Faux dishes are possible nowadays because of the variety of products available as substitutes. For example, one of the most common substitute products is the artificial sweetener. The Xantham gum, which acts as a substitute to corn starch is also now available. Consisting completely of fiber, the Konjac flour, from a type of yam plant, is also available. A lot of pastas have been made using this type of highly fibrous flour. Although artificial sweeteners do not taste like sugar, they are still able to make food sweet. The artificialness of sweeteners can often be masked by some food better than others. For example, chocolates sweetened with artificial sweeteners (not sugar alcohols) taste bad, but cinnamon goes well with artificial sweeteners. In the same vein, do not expect low carb pastas from konjac flour to taste the same as normal noodles. At times their noodles are tougher to chew and require more steps in cooking.

Here?s my top ten low carb recipes:

1) low carb chilli
2) low carb coconut pancakes
3) low carb cheesecake
4) eggdrop soup
5) berry flax muffins
6) low carb cereal
7) beef pot roast
low carb pizza
9) cauliflower mash
10) crab and yam hash

I would advise you to follow low carb recipes carefully as too much or too little of just one ingredient could destroy the recipe! Experimentation would naturally lead you to some instances where you come up with something you won?t even want to touch, much less eat.
