Cajun Cauliflower Bake (Keto)

Cajun Cauliflower Bake Keto

“I never run out of ideas for making interesting side dishes to enjoy alongside meat or fish. I love vegetables and believe its where you can get really creative. It’s also where most of your daily allocated carbs should be coming from. More so, this is where your fibre comes from. Here, I coat cauliflower florets in a spicy Cajun spice mix and roast them until done. To add additional flavour and a creamy mouthfeel, I drizzle over a mix of double cream and sour cream before cooking for a few more minutes. This Cajun cauliflower side dish is so packed with flavour and spice, I advise it’s served alongside simple roasted chicken thighs or pork chops.” – Monya

Keto Crumbed Mushrooms

“I just love crumbed ‘shrooms! Here, I made a quick, keto-friendly crumb from lean pork scratchings, nutritional yeast flakes and some coconut flour. We don’t fry them for very long due to the nature of the ‘crumb’, so you need to use baby button mushrooms here, or halve bigger ones. These are delicious served with Roast Garlic Aioli, as pictured. Roast Garlic Aioli is not included in the macros on this page – but my aioli comes in at only 0.5g carbs per serving, so get dipping!” – Monya

Chocolate Mousse Lollies Keto

“These creamy chocolate mousse lollies are made with whipped cream that give a light, airy texture. It makes me rethink how I have been making all the other other lollies until now. The lolly moulds I use are 100ml / 3.5 fl. oz capacity, but there is so much air whipped into the mixture, you will only use about 70g to fill each mould. I also added a few drops of chocolate essence which really lifts the flavour! If you choose not to freeze the mixture, enjoy these as a simple chocolate mousse served in six ramekins. Unlike other chocolate mousse recipes, these do not require any setting time.” – Monya

Broccoli and Bacon Cheese Bakes Keto

“I posted a recipe of Cream-baked Broccoli a little while ago. (It’s a lush recipe: rich, filling and full-flavoured, please try it!) However, I wanted to take the concept up a notch and add crispy bacon and Cheddar. What other diet can encourage adding bacon and cheese? Anyway, I created this recipe in 4 individual little stoneware pots (because its SO cute) but you can make this in an appropriately-sized dish if you choose to. This recipe serves 4 as a side dish.” – Monya

Coconut-dusted Fried Squid Keto

“Who doesn’t love fried calamari? I used the easily-available squid tubes (available frozen in most supermarkets) to create lovely, full-flavoured fried squid. Tossed lightly in coconut flour, you get all the deliciousness without the gluten, carbs or guilt. This is a lovely, light appetiser for two and this was how the macros were calculated. If you choose to have this as a main meal, or wish to scale up to serve more, use the handy plug-in on the recipe below to help you along. If you choose to do this, please cook the squid in batches to avoid over-crowding the pan.” – Monya

Chicken Chili Soup

“I originally started the development of this keto chicken and chilli soup to be a chicken version of chili con carne. I thought it would be great served over Cauliflower Rice, Cauliflower Mash or even Konjac ‘rice’. However, midway through cooking, I stopped and realised that this would make a flavoursome soup! This lovely dish yields three servings, but if you choose to cook for more, use the plug-in on the recipe below and increase the yield amount.” – Monya

Lamb Chops with Rosemary Butter Keto

“I am quite vocal about how lamb is my favourite meat, I love it! Here, my butcher hooked me up with fantastic cutlets and we simply cooked them on the braai (BBQ). Lamb and rosemary go so well together, so I made a quick flavoured butter beforehand to melt on top and pimp my chops. Why not enjoy these with my Tear-and-Share Keto Garlic Bread and a lovely salad on the side at your next BBQ?” – Monya

These lollies come in at only 3.6g carbs per serving, and Funnyman is still happily ploughing through them.” – Monya

Stuffed Squid Keto

“I love squid! Grilled, crumbed, fried, stuffed.. if it’s on a menu, its in my mouth! Remember, I grew up in South Africa, so we pretty much had excellently-prepared calamari at any restaurant, 365 days a year. I live in the UK now, so I sadly have to settle on what we all have access to: frozen squid tubes at supermarkets. It’s not ideal, they are smaller and not what I am accustomed to, but this recipe is fantastic and will make a lovely appetiser for two. Enjoy!” – Monya

Keto Cauliflower Cheese

“Sunday roasts aren’t what they used to be, are they? We now skip the roast potatoes, the Yorkshire puds and we pass on the gravy. This is why I worked on a keto cauliflower cheese as a delicious side dish to your roast meat. This recipe is tasty and light, and I bet it will knock the kids’ socks off. The flavour of baked cream is intoxicating and it thickens to mimic a “white sauce”. Be sure to also check out the Cream-baked Broccoli and Courgettes baked in Cream on this site.” – Monya

If sealed well, almond flour will last a long time (I keep mine in the fridge). Be sure to also check out all the other Bread recipes on this site.” – Monya
