Red Lobster's Crunchy Bacon Crusted Halibut - 5.2g Carbs

From: The Recipe Secrets Newsletter (RSN)

4 halibut fillets - (8 oz ea)
6 slices bacon
1/2 cup Asian panko crumbs or flakes
3 Tbsp unsalted butter
Seasoned salt, to taste
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Cook the bacon, then chop or crumble and set aside.

Brush both sides of fish with melted butter and place in a shallow baking dish. Arrange so that fillets are not touching. Sprinkle lightly with seasoned salt and pepper.

In a mixing bowl place bacon pieces, crumbs, and melted butter. Mix well to evenly distribute butter. Spread crust evenly over the tops of the fillets and press lightly.

Place just enough water in the pan to cover the bottom, do not place too much so that the topping on the fish is affected. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until fish is no longer transparent.

Goddess Guacamole Take a Skinny Dip - 8g Carbs, 4g Fiber

From: 50 Shades Of Kale: Delicious & Nutritious Kale Recipes – How To Cook Kale Salad, Kale Chips, Kale Soup by Drew Ramsey and  Jennifer Iserloh. (Kindle)
Serves: 4

2 cups kale leaves
4 Hass ripe avocados
3 ripe tomatoes, seeded, finely chopped
1/4 cup minced red onion
2 jalapeno chilies, seeded, finely chopped
1 lime, juiced
1/2 tsp sea salt
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, minced

Place the kale leaves in a food processor and pulse until they are finely chopped. Cut the avocados in half, and remove the pits. Scoop out the flesh and place in a large wooden or metal bowl. Add salt and mash with the back of a wooden spoon until desired texture is reached – I like mine a bit chunky. Stir in kale leaves and remaining ingredients. Taste and adjust the seasonings with salt. Place a piece of plastic wrap directly over the surface of the dip.

Store in the refrigerator up to 10 hours.

7. Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce, then place the tomatoes and sauteed chanterelles over the top of the cheese. Spread a few fresh basil leaves on top. 8. Bake the pizza for 20 -25 minutes in the oven. Remove from the oven and allow to cool 5 minutes before serving.

[Healthy_Recipes_For_Diabetic_Friends] Leek Asparagus & Herb Soup - 17g Carbs, 2g Fiber, 0g Added Sugar

 

Leek Asparagus & Herb Soup - 17g Carbs, 2g Fiber, 0g Added Sugar

From: EatingWell Spring 2003, The Essential EatingWell Cookbook (2004)    


Like a bouquet of fresh vegetables, this light but soothing soup is just the thing on a cool spring evening. It is important to cut the green vegetables into small pieces so they cook quickly, while retaining their bright color.

 Nutrition Profile - - Diabetes appropriate | Low calorie | Low carbohydrate | Low cholesterol | Low saturated fat | Low sodium | Heart healthy | Healthy weight | Gluten free

Active Time: 25 min
Total Time: 40 min
Servings: 6
Serving Size: about 1 cup each

1 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
2 medium leeks, trimmed, washed and finely chopped (1 1/2 cups)
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 lb new potatoes, scrubbed and diced (about 1 2/3 cups)
2 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth, or vegetable broth
1 lb fresh asparagus, trimmed and cut into 1/2-inch pieces (1 1/2-2 cups)
2/3 cup snow peas, or sugar snap peas, stemmed and cut into 1/2-inch dice
3 Tbsp chopped fresh chives, divided
2 Tbsp chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1 Tbsp chopped fresh dill
2 tsp chopped fresh chervil, (see Ingredient note) or flat-leaf parsley, plus sprigs for garnish
2 cups 1% milk
1 Tbsp lemon juice
1/4 tsp salt, or to taste
Freshly ground pepper, to taste
1/3 cup low-fat plain yogurt, for garnish

Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium-low heat. Add leeks and cook, stirring often, until softened but not browned, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook, stirring, for 1 minute.

Add potatoes and broth; bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Cover and reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are tender, 10 to 15 minutes.

Increase heat to medium-high and stir in asparagus and peas; simmer, covered, stirring 2 or 3 times, until just tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in 1 tablespoon chives, parsley, dill and chopped chervil (or parsley). Transfer the soup to a blender and blend until smooth. (Use caution when pureeing hot liquids.)

Return the soup to the pan. Add milk and bring to just below a simmer, stirring, over medium heat. Stir in lemon juice, salt and pepper. Ladle into soup bowls. Garnish each serving with a dollop of yogurt, a sprinkling of the remaining chopped chives and a sprig of chervil (or parsley).

Tips & Notes
Make Ahead Tip: Prepare through Step 3. Cover and refrigerate for up to 8 hours.

Ingredient Note: Chervil (from the Greek for "herb of rejoicing") has a mild flavor between those of parsley and anise. It doesn't dry well, so is best used fresh.

[Healthy_Recipes_For_Diabetic_Friends] Delicious Paleo Cabbage Rolls - 5.2g Carbs, 1.5g Fiber, 1.9g Sugar

 

Delicious Paleo Cabbage Rolls - 5.2g Carbs, 1.5g Fiber, 1.9g Sugar

From: 30 Delicious Paleo Slow Cooker Recipes - Simple and Easy Paleo Slow Cooker Recipes (Paleo Recipes) by Cheerful Chef  (Kindle)
The dish that originally comes from Eastern Europe – cabbage rolls – have many variations and it seems that many other variations are going to be invented on the basis of this old, traditional recipe. This cabbage roll recipe is fully paleo!

12 large cabbage leaves
1 cup grated cauliflower
1/4 cup onion, chopped
1 lb ground beef
1/4 cup low sodium beef OR low sodium chicken stock
1 egg
1½ cups no salt added tomato sauce
1 Tbsp lemon juice
Sea salt and ground pepper, to taste

1)  Firstly, prepare a pot with water to blanch cabbage leaves. When the water in the pot is boiling, place in it cabbage leaves one by one and leave for about 2 minutes so that leaves can soften. Remove leaves from the boiling water, drain them and put aside to cool.

2) Combine in a food processor grated cauliflower and onion, process until getting a mass that looks like rice, then take a big bowl to combine in it processed cauliflower-onion mass, ground beef, chicken or beef stock and one egg. Mix it all well together adding also sea salt and pepper to taste, if desired.

3) To fill cabbage leaves place each leaf separately, divide beef mixture into approximately 12 portions, and on one side of each leaf place beef mixture. Roll leaves folding the sides of leaves. After it's done, take a crock pot and arrange in it all cabbage rolls.

4) Before cooking, prepare also sauce mixing in a bowl tomato sauce and lemon juice. You can add also here salt and pepper to taste. Add the sauce to the crock pot pouring it over cabbage rolls, turn on the heating, keep the heating on low and cook for about 8 hours.

Roasted Eggplant and Walnut Dip - 4g Carbs, 1g Fiber

From: Mediterranean Diet Cookbook: 40 Delicious, Healthy, and Easy-to-Make Mediterranean Diet Recipes by Aubrey Mitchell (Kindle)

If you prefer to enjoy your eggplants in ways other than the caponata, you can always try this roasted eggplant dish served with a flavorful walnut dip. You can also serve this with bread that you baked or bought at the local store. Various types of bread work well with the walnut dip but you can never go wrong with freshly baked pita bread.
Best served for: Morning or afternoon snack
Servings: 4

1 large eggplant
1/2 cup walnuts, chopped
1 1/2 Tbsp fresh mint, chopped
1 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
1 large clove garlic, minced
1 tsp olive oil
Salt and pepper
4 pita bread
4 Tbsp parmesan, grated

Pierce the eggplant with a fork to allow it to breathe while roasting. Then, wrap it in foil and pop into a 425 degrees F oven for about 45 minutes until soft.

Allow the eggplant to cool.

Once cool, split the roasted eggplant into two in the lengthwise direction and scrape the pulp out into a blender. Blend this and then set aside.

Using a saucepan over medium-high heat, toast the walnuts for about 2 minutes, then add the blended eggplant pulp.

Flavor by adding garlic, olive oil, mint, and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper.

Toast the pita bread for about 3 minutes in the oven.

Once done, sprinkle with cheese while still hot. Serve the bread with the dip.
