It is high in fat (65 percent), contains about 32 percent protein, and has only 3 percent carbs. INGREDIENTS :- 4 large portobello mushrooms, stems removed ¼ cup olive oil 1 teaspoon minced garlic 1 medium tomato, cut into 4 slices 2 teaspoons chopped fresh basil 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese RECIPE :- 1.

INGREDIENTS :- 6 tablespoons butter, at room temperature 4 ounces blue cheese, such as Stilton or Roquefort 4 (5-ounce) beef sirloin steaks 1 tablespoon olive oil Sea salt Freshly ground black pepper RECIPE :- 1.

Coconut Chicken Serves 4 / Prep time: 15 minutes / Cook time: 25 minutes One of the main components of this recipe is rich, creamy coconut milk, which is a popular keto ingredient.  The various types of coconut milk available might be confusing, but the best is the canned variety with a thick layer of coconut cream on top.  Either stir the cream into the milk or skim it off for other recipes after opening the can. INGREDIENTS :- 2 tablespoons olive oil 4 (4-ounce) chicken breasts, cut into 2-inch chunks ½ cup chopped sweet onion 1 cup coconut milk 1 tablespoon curry powder 1 teaspoon ground cumin 1 teaspoon ground coriander ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro RECIPE :- 1.

Stuffed Chicken Breasts Serves 4 / Prep time: 30 minutes, plus 30 minutes chilling time / Cook time: 30 minutes This dish might perfectly complement a complicated risotto in a fancy fine-dining restaurant.  The trick to perfect stuffed chicken breasts is to cut a perfect pocket — not too deep but with enough space so the filling is completely enclosed.  If it isn’t enclosed, the filling will simply melt in the oven, leaving an empty pocket.

Roasted Salmon with Avocado Salsa Serves 4 / Prep time: 15 minutes / Cook time: 12 minutes A simple fresh salsa is often the best topping for a juicy piece of fish, and creamy avocados are a perfect choice for the base.  Take the salsa ingredients out of the refrigerator an hour or so before serving the fish so they come to room temperature.  The taste of the avocado will be much stronger than when this fruit is completely chilled.  You can also grill the salmon for this recipe—this fish holds up well under higher heat and does not dry out. INGREDIENTS :- FOR THE SALSA 1 avocado, peeled, pitted, and diced 1 scallion, white and green parts, chopped ½ cup halved cherry tomatoes Juice of 1 lemon Zest of 1 lemon FOR THE FISH 1 teaspoon ground cumin ½ teaspoon ground coriander ½ teaspoon onion powder ¼ teaspoon sea salt Pinch freshly ground black pepper Pinch cayenne pepper 4 (4-ounce) boneless, skinless salmon fillets 2 tablespoons olive oil RECIPE :- TO MAKE THE SALSA 1.

Shrimp and Sausage “Bake” Serves 4 / Prep time: 15 minutes / Cook time: 20 minutes Chorizo, a fully cooked cured sausage common in Spanish, Portuguese, and Latin American cooking, can be either spicy or slightly sweet and has a distinctive red color from the copious amounts of paprika added during its creation.  Chorizo is very high in protein, about 15 grams per 3-ounce portion, and is an excellent source of zinc, selenium, and vitamin B12. INGREDIENTS :- 2 tablespoons olive oil 6 ounces chorizo sausage, diced ½ pound (16 to 20 count) shrimp, peeled and deveined 1 red bell pepper, chopped ½ small sweet onion, chopped 2 teaspoons minced garlic ¼ cup Herbed Chicken Stock (page 141) Pinch red pepper flakes RECIPE :- 1.
