6 medium sized zucchini cut in half - long ways
1 lb of hamburger meat
1 tbls of minced garlic
1 egg
mozzarella cheese
7 spice to taste
salt to taste
1Roma tomatoe
After you cut you zucchini in half, place in a large pot and boil for 10 minutes
while your zucchini is boiling, brown your hamburger meat, adding minced garlic and your spices.
Once the meat is done, drain off any fat and set aside
When your zucchini is done, take out and scoop out the meat of the zucchini and place in a strainer to strain off any juice in it
Take the inside of the zucchini after it's strained and mix it with your meat mixture and add a beaten egg.
Take your mixture now and place inside the scooped out zucchini and sprinkle mozzarella on top and then bake at *350 for at least 25 minutes, about 5 minutes before it's done take a sliced up Roma tomato and place them on top to finish cooking with the dish.
Enchiladas
12 cauliflower rounds (faux corn tortillas) see recipe for them because it is not my recipe
http://blog.yourlighterside.com/2009/05/low-carb-enchiladas-recipe.html
I use muffin top pans to cook my cauli rounds in
1 lb of hamburger meat
1- 15 ounce can of tomato sauce
cilantro
1 maggies chicken cube
minced garlic to taste
mixed cheese
cumin to taste
onion powder to taste
chili powder to taste
lime juice to taste
curry powder to taste
______________________________________________________________________
while I am frying the meat, I add minced garlic, cumin, onion powder (or real onions), chili powder, salt and pepper
when meat is down, strain and set aside in a bowl
___________________________________
in a non stick pot I add a little oil and saute cilantro (chopped), onion if you like (chopped), maggies cube (break up), and minced garlic
once it is sauted I add the can of tomato sauce and then fill up the can with hot water and add it.
Then add cumin, chili powder, onion powder, curry powder, pepper, and lime juice
___________________________________
I let the sauce cook for just a bit, and then add about a cup of it to the meat mixture.
___________________________________
In a cake pan I line with foil
I add a little of the sauce to the bottom just to coat
Put 6 of you cooked cauli rounds
then sauce all over them
then meat mixture and then cheese
and then repeat...
with cheese being you last topping
if you have any sauce left over, just pour on top
bake @ 350 for about 10-15 mins
This can be done with chicken or just cheese and no meat
http://cleochatra.blogspot.com/ for the cauli rounds
Lasagna
12 cauli rounds (recipe for the cauli rounds are not mine, recipe can be found in link below)
I make the mixture and bake them in muffin top pans
http://blog.yourlighterside.com/2009/05/low-carb-enchiladas-recipe.html
or you can use the same mixture and put it on a cake pan or pizza pan, cook it and then cut into strips...
*note* to me the cauli rounds are more fulfilling, then if you cut the cauli mixture into strips like lasagna noodles...so yes it different but more satisfying..
1 lb of hamburger meat
cottage cheese or ricotta (ricotta is better for induction)
mozzarella cheese
Italian seasonings
minced garlic
Make your own spaghetti sauce or use No sugar added spaghetti sauce
fresh parsley
Make your cauli rounds first
brown your hamburger meat with minced garlic and Italian seasonings, strain and set aside..
add your sauce to the meat mixture
layer some meat mixture
then cauli rounds (6) of them
then cottage cheese or ricotta
then a layer of mozzarella
then repeat
top with fresh parsley
Bake @ 350* until cheese is melted
