Beurre Noisette (Brown Butter)

Beurre Noisette Brown Butter Keto
Browned Butter

“Let’s take butter up a notch in flavour! Try this recipe at least once and I promise you will not regret it. Beurre noisette (brown butter) has a deep, rich, nutty flavour that remind me of caramel. A block or two of browned butter can be used to cook eggs, add to your baking, or melt over cooked vegetables, like I did on my Brown-buttered Brussels Sprouts. And more good news: since you are essentially removing the milk solids from the butter (when you strain it through the muslin / cheesecloth), so this browned butter is even lower in carbs than regular butter (in fact, its zero carbs). If you love it (and I know you will), make a larger batch next time.” – Monya

Or, if your Christmas party is small this year and you aren’t a turkey fan, try something different! This recipe will happily feed five people and features a sharp, herby red onion relish – an ideal acidic, sweet accompaniment. I enjoy this with my Keto Celeriac Dauphinoise.” – Monya

Quick and Easy Keto Pho Bo

Keto Pho Bo
Low carb Pho Bo

“Backpacking around Vietnam with Funnyman in 2010 was one of our best holidays ever! I recall having phở bo (pronounced “fuh” – not “foo” or “foh”) for the first time in Hanoi. I was blown away and happily slurped it down numerous times as we travelled north to south over several weeks. Now, many years later and hardcore into my very low-carb lifestyle, I wanted to relive those awesome memories. I created a quick 15-minute keto pho bo using the (konjac / shirataki) ‘noodles‘ to make it low-carb friendly. You could also use courgette noodles.” – Monya

Thai Prawn Curry with Cherry Tomatoes (Keto)

Thai Prawn Curry with Cherry Tomatoes Keto
Keto Prawn Curry

“Fragrant, spicy, creamy… this Thai prawn curry was made using Thai yellow curry paste and coconut milk. I struggle to find Thai yellow curry paste in the stores here in the UK, so I buy it online. It’s authentic, delicious and affordable. I quickly cook the prawns before starting the curry, then add them back in later to warm through before serving. This prevents an unsightly grey soup and delays the sauce reducing. I learnt this from experience! The sauce is reduced until thick and creamy and then simply poured over konjac pasta. The plump prawns, sweet cherry tomatoes, salty fish sauce, spicy chilies, acidic lime and the fragrant coriander create perfect harmony. I also added a teaspoon of powdered erythritol to finish it off with some much-needed sweetness. Simply put – you need to eat this!” – Monya

“These crispy keto cheese nachos can be used to scoop up your favourite low carb dip, but I love them with my Guacamole. This recipe was based on using thinly rolled fathead dough where both sides are carefully crisped in the oven. Try this version, then play around changing up the cheese or herbs.” – Monya

Cauliflower Rice (Keto)

Cauliflower Rice Keto

“This is a nifty way to mimic rice when you are serving a dish that needs sauces mopped up. I cooked down onions and garlic to add more flavour before adding and cooking the blitzed cauliflower. It’s high in fibre and filling. You can play around and pimp it using different freshly chopped herbs or flavoured oils, but this recipe below is a good ‘base’, so go wild. Be sure to also check out my Creamy Keto Cauliflower Mash.” – Monya

“Sweet, acidic, creamy! Whip this superstar out at your next dinner party, or simply freeze the slices like I often do. This keto lime cheesecake is just too delicious! UPDATE: I have taken this recipe off this blog because I worked very hard to bring you a new-and-improved version that now features in my cookbook Keto Kitchen.” – Monya

Coconut-roasted Cauliflower (Keto)

Coconut-roasted Cauliflower Keto

“I love Coconut-roasted Broccoli and doing the same thing with cauliflower is equally incredible! At only two-ingredients, this will likely be a favourite in your home. This recipe will serve 3 people as a side veg option on a keto diet, but Funnyman and I scoff the whole lot between the two of us quite often. He has both dishes waxed, so these are the nights I put my feet up and do nothing but watch him cook for ME for a change.” – Monya

Keto Baked Creamy Baby Onions with Crackling Crumb

Keto Baked Creamy Baby Onions with Crackling Crumb
Baked Onions

“I love this dish! I baked baby onions in a thyme-infused cream and topped with a crumb made from blitzed lean pork scratchings (a UK product) and finely grated Parmesan. When I made this dish for us, we ended up eating them on top of our grilled pork chops. Lush! The peeling of the onions is a finicky job, but the results are worth it in the end. Be sure to keep the little root end intact to ensure the onions keep their shape, but use a small, sharp paring knife to trim it close enough that the entire onion is edible. And don’t jab yourself like I did doing that … #BloodFest2018″ – Monya

“This recipe is a fantastic example of how versatile my Keto Creamy Cauliflower Mash is! This is a simple, hearty and comforting fish pie and an ideal meal for the chilly evenings. I have seen many stores sell ready “fish pie” mixes (usually a mix of chopped white fish, salmon and smoked haddock) which is handy. However, I added prawns to my version to make it a wee bit fancier. This dish is just too lovely and I can’t wait for you to try it! Great with greens on the side, if desired.” – Monya

Creamy Cauliflower Mash (Keto)

Cauliflower Mash Keto

“Some may turn their nose up at mashing cauliflower to mimic The Great Potato, but you may just be converted. I didn’t just stop at using a potato masher, I added full-fat cream cheese and blitzed the mixture into a creamy puree. All it needed was a little seasoning and it’s perfect as a side dish. You could also use it like I did to top my Keto Seafood Bake and Spicy Keto Cottage Pie.” – Monya

Brie Mushrooms with Red Onion Chutney (Keto)

Brie Mushrooms with Red Onion Chutney Keto

“These baked brie mushrooms can be served either as an appetiser, or enjoyed as a light meal with a salad. The red onions are cooked down on a very low heat, and their sweetness balances the oozy Brie just perfectly. The general marrying of the two flavours are worth knowing, even for those that don’t like mushrooms. And, for those that LOVE the idea of a big, black mushroom – do this exact dish and top your bun-less burger with it. You will never consider a bacon and Cheddar topping again!” – Monya
