Swiss Steak

Swiss Steak

Beef is cut into steaks that are tenderized by pounding and slow cooking in a savory sauce. The result is a rich, delicious dish that goes perfectly with mashed cauliflower. If you would rather skip the step of cutting and pounding the steaks substitute cubed steaks which are already tenderized or ask your butcher to prepare them for you.

Raspberry Mascarpone Cookie Baskets

Raspberry Mascarpone Cookie Baskets

Refreshing and elegant, these will add a bit of fancy to any meal or dinner party—and the best part is, they’re deceptively easy to make!
Prep Time20 minutes

Course: Desserts
Keyword: Chef Taffiny Elrod, Raspberry Cheesecake
Servings: 1 cookie basket
Calories: 227.8kcal
Author: Shanelle Sorensen

Equipment

  • Pizzelle Iron, small bowls or teacups

Ingredients

FILLING

  • 3 cups marscarpone cheese
  • 2 pints fresh raspberries washed & dried (reserve 8 for garnish)
  • 1/4 cup powdered erythritol
  • 1 tsp. pure vanille extract

COOKIE CUPS

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup granulated erythritol
  • 1/4 cup avocado oil
  • 1/2 tsp. pure vanilla extract
  • 1 serving Raspberry Cheesecake Keto Chow
  • 1/4 tsp. fine salt
  • 8 fresh mint leaves for garnish

Instructions

  • To make the filling, mix together the mascarpone cheese, fresh raspberries, powdered erythritol, and vanilla extract in a small mixing bowl.
  • Chill the mixture in the refrigerator until ready to assemble the baskets.
  • To make the cookie baskets, beat the eggs with an electric mixer for at least three minutes, or until they are light, fluffy, and doubled in volume. This step is important because it gives the cookies a light texture and makes the batter much easier to work with.
  • With the mixer on low speed, gradually beat in the erythritol, then the oil and vanilla extract.
  • Mix in the Keto Chow and salt, mixing until fully combined.
  • Allow the batter to rest while you preheat a pizzelle iron. Turn the small bowls upside down; you will be using them to shape the cooked pizzelles.
  • When it is heated, drop a small ball of dough near the back of the iron. The ball should be about a Tbsp. but it will depend on the size of your iron.
  • Bake the cookie according to the manufacturer's directions until slightly golden and firm enough to carefully remove from the iron. (Generally this would be about two minutes but each iron is different.)
  • Once you have carefully removed the pizzelle, drape it immediately over the upturned bowl. Press it gently around the bowl to shape it into a basket. Another small bowl can be placed over the cookie to help form the shape. Allow the cookie to cool until it holds its shape, about two minutes, then set it on a tray upside down to cool completely. Repeat until eight baskets have been made.
  • When all the baskets are completely cool, fill each with approximately 1/4 cup filling and garnish with the reserved raspberries and fresh mint leaves. Serve immediately after filling.

Servings: 1 burger
Calories: 359.6kcal
Author: Taffiny Elrod

Ingredients

  • 1 serving Savory Chicken Soup Keto Chow
  • 2 Tbsp. ground flax seed
  • 1 tsp. garlic powder
  • 1 tsp. onion powder
  • 1 tsp. poultry seasoning
  • 1 tsp. smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp. ground black pepper
  • 8 oz. cremini mushrooms, cleaned and dried
  • 8 oz. broccoli slaw or riced cauliflower
  • 3 oz. walnuts or sunflower seeds
  • 1 Tbsp. coconut aminos or soy sauce
  • 4 oz. sharp cheddar cheese grated
  • 1 Tbsp. avocado or olive oil

Instructions

  • In a small bowl, combine the Keto Chow, ground flax seed, garlic powder, onion powder, poultry seasoning, and paprika and set aside.
  • Chop the mushroom into small pieces by pulsing in a food processor until they are the texture of riced cauliflower. Transfer the mushrooms to a bowl.
  • Pulse the broccoli slaw in the food processor until it is the size of riced cauliflower, transfer it to the bowl with the mushrooms.
  • Grind the walnuts in the food processor to a coarse meal and set aside.
  • Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat and add the mushrooms and broccoli slaw. Cook the vegetables in the dry pan until most of the moisture has evaporated, the pan begins to look dry, and the mushrooms start to brown.
  • Return the cooked vegetables to the bowl and mix in the ground walnuts and coconut aminos.
  • Sprinkle the Keto Chow and seasonings over the mixture and stir it together.
  • Mix in the cheddar cheese and work the mixture together by hand or with a stiff spatula until it comes together like a firm dough. The more it is kneaded, the better it will hold together when cooked.
  • Shape into four patties and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  • Wipe out the nonstick skillet used to cook the vegetables; place it over high heat and add the avocado oil.
  • When the oil is hot, carefully place the chilled burgers in the pan. Cook on one side without moving, until brown and crispy, about three to five minutes.
  • Flip the burgers and cook until crisp and brown on the other side, or another three to five minutes.
  • Cool burgers and wrap them tightly or store in an airtight container. They will keep in the refrigerator for a week or in the freezer for up to three months.

Calories: 106.8kcal

Equipment

  • rolling pin, 2.5” pastry cutter or cookie cutter

Ingredients

COOKIES

  • 1/2 cup shelled pistachios
  • 1 serving Pistachio Keto Chow
  • 1/2 cup fine almond flour (1.5 oz)
  • 1/4 cup granulated erythritol
  • 4 Tbsp. cold unsalted butter, cubed
  • 1/2 tsp. rose water
  • 1 Tbsp. dried rose petals or rose bud tea plus extra for garnish (4g) *
  • 1 large egg

ICING

  • 3/4 cup powdered erythritol (3 oz)
  • 1/2 tsp. rose water
  • 3 Tbsp. unsweetened almond milk
  • pink food coloring

Instructions

  • Place the pistachios in the work bowl of a food processor and pulse until they are coarsely ground. Remove from the food processor and set aside.
  • Place the Keto Chow, almond flour, and granulated erythritol in the food processor and pulse to combine.
  • Add the butter and pulse until it is cut into pea size pieces or smaller in the dry mixture.
  • Return the ground pistachios to the food processor along with the rose petals, 1/2 tsp. rose water, and egg. Process on low speed until the mixture begins to hold together.
  • Remove the dough and knead it into a ball. Slightly flatten and press the edges against the counter to create a square shape. Wrap in plastic and chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
  • While the dough chills, heat the oven to 350℉ and line two cookie sheets with parchment paper.
  • Unwrap the dough and place it between two sheets of parchment paper.
  • Roll it out to a 9 X 9-inch square; it will be about 1/4-inch thickness.
  • Cut nine cookies out of the dough and transfer them to the prepared cookie sheets.
  • Gently press the scraps together, re-roll the dough and cut out three more cookies.
  • Bake the cookies for about ten minutes, or until they are lightly golden around the edges. They will be slightly soft in the center but will firm as they cool.
  • When the cookies have cooled completely, make the icing.
  • Place the powdered erythritol in a small bowl and stir in the rose water and milk. The icing should have a thick, pourable consistency like syrup.
  • Stir in the pink food coloring one small drop at a time, until the desired color is reached.
  • Spoon or pipe the icing into the middle of the cookie and spread it out to make a circle covering most of the cookie. While the icing is still wet, sprinkle with rose petals to decorate. Allow the icing to set before serving or storing cookies.
  • Store cookies in a single layer in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days or tightly sealed in the freezer for up to three months.

Notes

*You can find dried rose leaves online and rosebud tea at many Asian markets. To use rosebud tea, gently pull the leaves off of the stem leaving the green behind. Wherever you source yours, be sure they are food grade and haven’t been treated with pesticides.
