3. Grilled white fish with zucchini and kale pesto
Instructions
1. Start preparing the pesto by chopping the kale roughly. Place the kale, walnuts, lime and garlic in a
blender or food processor, and purée until smooth. Season with salt and pepper. Add the oil towards
the end and process a bit more. Set aside.
2. Rinse the zucchini and cut thinly with a sharp knife, slicer or mandolin. Put the slices in a bowl. Season
with salt and pepper to taste, and dress with lemon juice and olive oil. Set aside.
3. Salt the fish on both sides and let sit for a few minutes. Wipe off excess liquid and brush with oil.
4. Grill or fry for a few minutes on each side. Add pepper and serve together with the zucchini and pesto.
Tip!
The pesto is a wonderful accompaniment to many different dishes—red meats, chicken, and
roasted vegetables come to mind, but it also complements eggs, fried halloumi and salads.
Leftover pesto can be stored in the refrigerator for 3-4 days or in the freezer for up to one month.

3. Low-carb spinach mushroom galette
Instructions
Crust
1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone liner. Lightly grease the liner.
3. In a large saucepan, melt the cheese and butter together over low heat until they are melted and can be
stirred together. Remove from heat and add almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, garlic powder
and salt.
4. Add the egg and stir everything together until a cohesive dough forms. Use a rubber spatula to really
knead it up against the sides of the pan. It may still contain some streaks of cheese.
5. Transfer to the prepared pan and knead a few more times until uniform. If your dough is very sticky,
work in another tablespoon or two of almond flour. Cover the dough with another piece of parchment
and roll out to a 12-inch (30 cm) circle.
Filling
1. Spread the dough with the softened cream cheese, leaving a 2-inch (5 cm) border around the outside.
Sprinkle with the garlic and salt and pepper.
2. Squeeze as much moisture as possible from the spinach and layer over the cream cheese, then add a
layer of mushrooms. Sprinkle with the grated cheeses.
3. Fold the edges of the crust over the filling and brush with the beaten egg yolk. Bake the galette for 25 to
30 minutes, until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
Because the cheese creates a flexible dough that stretches like pizza dough, it’s useful for so
many other things. Consider it for stromboli, calzones, and even sweet pastries. It can be rolled
out thinly and used for crackers or even pie crusts.
I modified the basic Fathead dough, which is just simply grated cheese, cream cheese, almond
flour, and an egg, to be a little sturdier. A combination of almond flour and coconut flour means
it holds up better and doesn’t spread as much during baking. A little baking powder gives it a bit
more of a rise, and some garlic powder gives it a great savory flavor.
A galette is tart or a pie that isn’t baked in a pan, but formed by hand with the crust folded
partway over the fillings. Fathead dough makes a perfect galette crust because of its flexibility.
This savory galette is filled with mushrooms, spinach, and cheese and makes a nice alternative to
meat based keto recipes. It can be the whole meal or served as a side dish or appetizer. It’s best
eaten warm but you can make it ahead of time and re-heat it gently in a warm oven.

3. Oven-baked paprika chicken with rutabaga
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Split the chicken quarters and place them in a baking dish.
2. Peel the rutabaga and cut into 2-3 inch pieces so that chicken and rutabaga pieces will be done at the
same time.
3. Salt and pepper to taste and sprinkle paprika on top. Place in the baking dish.
4. Add olive oil/butter and mix well. Bake in the oven until the chicken is well done, about 40 minutes.
Lower the heat towards the end if the chicken or rutabaga is getting too golden brown.
Tip!
Paprika is an incredibly versatile spice. And there are so many varieties to play with! Try
blending half sweet paprika and half smoked paprika. Or, to give the dish a good kick of heat,
add hot smoked paprika to Hungarian paprika. Want even more heat? Swap in a little chipotle
powder. The possibilities are endless!

Instructions
2. Mix cream (or sour cream) with pesto and lemon juice. Salt and pepper to taste.
3. Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper, and fry in butter until they turn a nice golden brown.
4. Place the chicken in a greased 9 x 13 inch baking dish, and pour in the cream mixture.
5. Chop the leek and cherry tomatoes. Chop the cauliflower into small florets. Top chicken with leek,
tomatoes and cauliflower.
6. Sprinkle cheese on top and bake in the middle of the oven for at least 30 minutes or until the chicken is
fully cooked. If the casserole is at risk of burning before it's done, cover it with a piece of aluminium foil,
lower the heat and let cook for a little longer.
Tip!
Green it up! A rich dish like this only gets better if you serve it with a side of fresh leafy greens.
Dress with a generous drizzle of olive oil, some balsamic vinegar and a sprinkle of sea salt.
Meal prep
This dish can be prepared by frying the chicken ahead of time. You can assemble the entire
casserole and keep in the fridge for a day before baking it. Just make sure you let it come to
room temperature before placing in the oven. It's also good to give it a stir since the pesto can
sink to the bottom.
If you have chicken or turkey leftovers they are perfect for this dish. Just skip step 3 in the
instructions and you are good to go!
If you're short on time you can also use a rotisserie chicken. Take the meat from the bones and
divide into bite-sized pieces before adding it to the baking dish.
If you intend to eat the casserole within 2-3 days you can store it in the fridge. Otherwise it's
better to place the casserole in the freezer where it will last up to 3 months. Make sure your dish
is suitable for freezing.
Let thaw in the refrigerator the day before you plan on serving it. Don’t place a cold baking dish
straight from the fridge into a hot oven as this can cause your dish to crack. Reheat the casserole
in the oven at 300°F (150°C) until thoroughly warm. When thawing and reheating this casserole
the result may be a bit more liquid but the flavor will still be good.

Instructions
2. Line a roasting pan with foil or parchment paper, making sure there’s enough material for folding and
sealing the top of it.
3. Cut the fish into serving-sized pieces and place in roasting pan.
4. Slice and chop the vegetables and place them evenly with the fish. Add spices.
5. Drizzle with wine and oil and add little pats of butter.
6. Fold the foil to form as tight a seal as possible. Cover seam with an extra piece of foil, and tightly fold at
the joints.
8. Make the quick aioli by mixing mayonnaise and a minced garlic clove in a small bowl. Season with salt
and pepper to taste. Serve a generous dollop on top of the baked fish and vegetables.
Tip!
Mix it up! This recipe is super versatile. Use either frozen (thawed) or fresh fish. Use your own
favorite fish! Cod, hake, haddock, or grouper are all perfect options. This recipe also works well
with plaice fillets that you roll up. You can also try throwing some peeled or shell-on shrimp into
the mix. The simplest, best option is to add peeled and cooked shrimp just before serving. But
you can also try adding shrimp toward the end of cooking. Just be careful when opening and
resealing the foil package mid-way through, to avoid leaking – or burning your hands with
steam!

Instructions
1. Peel and slice the red onions into thin wedges. Cut the garlic cloves in half. Mix all the ingredients for the
marinade. Place a large freezer bag inside a larger freezer bag, and add half the onion mix to the bag.
2. Rinse the pork collar, dry it well, and rub it all over with salt. Place the collar in the freezer bag and pour
the marinade over it. Press out all air from the bag, seal the bag shut, and place it in a bowl. Leave the
bowl in the refrigerator for at least 12 hours, preferably longer.
3. Preheat the oven to 260°F (125°C).
4. Place the meat, the rest of the onion mix and the marinade in an oven-safe casserole dish. Close it with
a tight-fitting lid, and place the dish in the lower part of the oven for about 5 to 6 hours. In the picture,
the meat was cooked in an electric slow-cooker; it turned out extremely juicy and delicious. If using a
slow-cooker, the meat will be ready in about 8 to 12 hours if set on low, but it also depends on the
brand of the slow-cooker you’re using.
5. To serve, pull the meat apart with two forks and mix it thoroughly with the gravy. Taste and adjust for
salt. Serve this dish with low-carb bread, garlic butter and coleslaw.

3. Low-carb fried kale and broccoli salad
Instructions
2. Boil the eggs any way you like them – soft, medium or hard-boiled. Immediately, place them in ice cold
water when they're done to make them easier to peel. When cooled - divide into halves or quarters.
4. Slice the garlic thinly. Heat the oil in a frying pan and carefully fry the slices. Remove the garlic from the
pan and place on a paper towel to crisp up. Save the oil in the pan.
5. Chop broccoli and kale coarsely. Add a knob of butter to the garlic-infused oil in the pan and fry the
vegetables for a couple of minutes on medium high heat until slightly softened.
6. Season with salt and pepper and plate with avocado, eggs and the mustard mayo. Finish the dish with
fried garlic slices for extra flavor and crunch.
Tip!
Baby kale or spinach makes the greens extra tender; buy them pre-washed to save on prep-time.

3. Low-carb Goulash soup
Instructions
2. Sauté the onion and garlic, with a generous amount of oil or butter, in heavy pan over medium heat
until softened.
3. Add the ground meat and sauté, stirring occasionally, until cooked through and browned.
4. Add the bell pepper, celery root, paprika, cayenne, oregano, caraway, salt and pepper. Stir for about 1
minute. Pour in the tomatoes and 2 cups of water.
5. Increase the heat and bring the soup to a light boil. Let simmer for 10 minutes.
7. Serve with finely chopped parsley and dollop of sour cream or mayonnaise.
Tip!
Lamb really is the star of this soup, but if you’re not a fan—or you don’t have any on hand—try
any ground meat you like. Beef is nice and hearty, with a subtler flavor than lamb, while ground
chicken or turkey lend a milder flavor. And remember, almost all soups develop even more
flavor after a day or two, so go ahead a make it ahead of time. You can get an even richer, more
complex flavor by sautéing in half butter and half olive oil.

3. Low-carb curry chicken with cauliflower rice
Instructions
2. Fry finely chopped onion, ginger and chili pepper until they become fragrant and softened, about 5
minutes.
3. Add curry paste and chicken. Fry until chicken is light brown (5–10 minutes). Add more butter or oil if
needed.
5. Add the coconut cream or milk—only the solid part; discard most of the excess liquid (or save it to make
smoothies)—season and let simmer for 15 minutes.
Cauliflower rice
1. Using a grater or food processor fitted with a metal blade, grate the entire cauliflower head, including
the stem.
2. Melt butter or coconut oil in a skillet. Add the cauliflower rice and cook over medium heat for 5-10
minutes, or until the rice has softened a bit.
3. Add salt and optional turmeric while frying.
4. You can also cook the rice in the microwave. Put the rice in a glass bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and
microwave it for 5-6 minutes. Mix in the butter or coconut oil and let it melt.
Tip
Sunny turmeric is loaded with health benefits, and makes food look irresistible. But it’s not the
only spice you can invite to the party. Try an herbed salt, curry powder, or paprika to mix it up!

3. Keto salmon pie
Instructions
2. Place the pie dough ingredients into a food processor fitted with a plastic
pastry blade. Pulse until mixture forms a ball. If you don’t have a food
processor, you can use a fork to mix the dough.
3. Fit a piece of parchment paper into a 10-inch (23-cm) spring form pan. (This
makes it a cinch to remove once it’s cooked.)
4. Oil your fingers or a spatula, and gently press the dough into the spring form
pan. Pre-bake the crust for 10–15 minutes, or until lightly browned.
5. Mix all the ingredients for the filling, except the salmon, and pour that in the
pie crust. Add the salmon and bake for 35 minutes or until the pie is golden
brown.
6. Let cool for a few minutes and serve with a salad or other vegetables.
Tip!
Be flexible! Feel free to swap cured, boiled or grilled salmon in for smoked
salmon – just make sure you adjust salt and spices accordingly. And don't be
afraid to make it ahead of time! This pie freezes well, so you can always keep
one on hand for a quick midweek meal.

3. Stuffed low-carb cabbage casserole
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Shred the cabbage finely with a sharp knife or in a food processor.
2. Fry the cabbage in a little more than half of the butter in a large frying pan or a wok over medium-high
heat. Fry until soft, but don't let the cabbage turn brown. This can take a little while; roughly 10 minutes.
3. Add spices and vinegar. Stir and continue to fry for a couple of minutes. Set aside on a plate.
4. Melt the rest of the butter in the same pan. Sauté the ground beef and fry on medium-high heat until
most of the juices have evaporated. Lower the heat to medium-low.
5. Add cooked cabbage and sauté together with the beef for a minute. Remove from heat and add salt and
pepper to taste.
6. Stir ⅔ of the cheese into the cabbage mix and place in a baking dish.

Instructions
The bread
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Mix the dry ingredients in a bowl.
2. Add the vinegar, boiling water, and egg whites to the bowl. Whisk the dough with a hand mixer for
about 30 seconds. Don’t overmix it. (You want the consistency to resemble Play-Doh.)
4. Bake on lower rack in oven for 50–60 minutes, depending on the size of your bread. They’re done when
you hear a hollow sound when tapping the bottom of the bun.
Meat sauce
1. Sauté onion and garlic in a large frying pan over medium high until the onion is soft and translucent.
2. Add the ground beef to the pan and increase the heat a little. Fry the meat thoroughly.
4. Let simmer for at least 15 minutes on low heat until most of the liquid is reduced.
6. Serve in low-carb bread with a lot of shredded cheese and a dollop of mayonnaise.
Tip!
Embrace your creativity! Sprinkle poppy or sesame seeds on the bread before baking. Or why
not some salt flakes and herbs? You can also make hot dog or hamburger buns out of the dough.
Six pieces of this bread contain about 2 grams of carbs per bun.
Save those leftovers! The meat sauce can be kept in the fridge for up to three days, or in the
freezer. And don’t get stuck in a rut. Feel free to use any kind of meat you want – beef, lamb,
poultry or pork.

2. Cut the mushrooms into wedges. Fry in butter until the mushrooms have softened, about 5 minutes.
Add salt, pepper, and parsley.
3. Pour in the heavy cream and mustard and lower the heat. Let simmer for 5-10 minutes to reduce the
sauce a bit.
4. Season the fish with salt and pepper and place in a greased baking dish. Sprinkle 3/4 of the cheese on
and pour the creamed mushrooms on top. Top with the remaining cheese.
5. Bake for about 30 minutes if the fish is frozen, or slightly less if it’s fresh. Probe with a sharp knife after
20 minutes; the fish is done if it flakes easily with a fork. And remember that the fish will continue to
cook even after you have taken it out of the oven.
6. Meanwhile, make the side dish. Cut the broccoli or cauliflower into florets. Boil in lightly salted water for
a few minutes. Strain off the water and add olive oil or butter.
8. Season with salt and pepper and serve with the fish.
Tip!
Did you know that the stem of broccoli and cauliflower is wonderful, too? Simply peel the rough
outer layer off with a sharp knife or a potato peeler. And then cut the stems lengthwise into rods,
or dice them. Voila! More cruciferous love!

1. Bring the ground beef out of the refrigerator a while before frying. Cold ground beef will cool down the
frying pan and the ground beef will be boiled and not fried. The latter tastes a lot better.
2. Place a large frying pan over medium high heat and heat up some oil. Add the ground beef and fry until
cooked through.
3. Add the tex-mex seasoning and water and stir. Let simmer until most of the water is gone. Taste to see if
it needs additional seasoning.
4. In the meantime, make the salsa from diced avocado, diced tomatoes, freshly squeezed lime juice, olive
oil and a couple of handfuls of fresh cilantro. Salt and pepper to taste.

Instructions
2. Slice the zucchini in half length-wise and use a spoon to scrape out the seeds (don't throw them away!).
Put the zucchini boats on a baking sheet.
3. Peel the garlic cloves and slice them thinly with a knife. Fry the garlic in about half of the olive oil in a
skillet over medium heat until it gets a little bit browned. Add the baby spinach and zucchini seeds. Fry
until soft. Season with a pinch of salt and ground black pepper.
4. Spread out the marinara sauce over the zucchini boats and top with the fried baby spinach and garlic.
Sprinkle the goat cheese on top.
5. Bake for about 20–25 minutes or until the zucchini is as tender as you’d prefer and the cheese has got a
nice golden color.
6. Drizzle the zucchini boats with the rest of the olive oil and season with some freshly ground black
pepper before serving.
Tip!
If you don't like goat cheese you can replace it with any other high fat cheese of your liking. For example
shredded cheddar or mozzarella.
One garlic clove can be replaced with about 1/4 tsp of garlic powder.

3. Keto chicken curry pie
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Put all the ingredients for the pie crust into a food processor for a
few minutes until the dough firms up into a ball. If you don’t have a food processor, you can also mix the
dough with a fork.
2. Attach a piece of parchment paper to a springform pan, no larger than 10 inches (23 cm) in diameter
(the springform pan makes it easier to remove the pie when it’s done). Grease the bottom and sides of
the pan.
3. Spread the dough into the pan. Use an oiled spatula or your fingers. Pre-bake the crust for 10–15
minutes.
4. Mix all other filling ingredients together, and fill the pie crust. Bake for 35–40 minutes or until the pie
has turned a nice, golden brown.

3. Keto chops with green beans and avocado
Instructions
2. Brush the meat with the marinade and let sit for 15 minutes. You can also
marinate the meat in a plastic bag for 30 minutes or more in the fridge.
3. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Grill the marinated meat on a rack on a
baking sheet in the oven for 20–30 minutes until the meat is thoroughly done.
Turn after 10-15 minutes.
4. Meanwhile, prepare the garlic butter and the beans. Press the garlic clove,
mix with butter and spices and set aside.
5. Heat the oil in a frying pan. Sauté the beans for about 5 minutes on medium
high heat until they have turned a nice color. Lower the heat towards the end,
and add spices.
6. Chop the onion finely. Peel and remove the pit from the avocado and mash
the flesh coarsely with a fork. Stir onion and avocado into the beans. Season
with salt and pepper to taste. Top with a handful of finely chopped cilantro.
Tip!
Grilling meat in the oven is super convenient because it takes care of itself.
But, feel free to fry the chops in a frying pan or toss them on the grill.
Whichever cooking method you prefer, you’ll still get chipotle deliciousness!

3. Sweet and sticky chicken wings
Instructions
2. Place the wings with the thicker skin-side up on a rimmed baking sheet with wire racks. (The wire rack
helps promote even cooking).
3. Sprinkle the wings liberally with fine Pink Himalayan Sea Salt (or salt of your choice).
5. When the wings have 12 minutes left to bake, start the sauce.
6. Heat a medium to large skillet over medium heat, and add the coconut aminos.
7. Add the ginger powder, garlic powder, onion powder, and red pepper flakes (if desired). Once the sauce
comes to a simmer, begin stirring. Continue to stir periodically, adjusting the heat as needed to maintain
a gentle simmer.
8. Once the sauce has thickened slightly—as you stir it, it should take a few seconds for the sauce to fill
back behind your spoon or spatula—you can reduce the heat to low while the wings finish cooking.
9. Place the wings in a large heatproof bowl, and pour the sauce over them. Stir to evenly coat with the
sauce, and serve!
Tip!
Break out the grill! A medium-low heat—with periodic flipping to ensure even cooking—should
take about 30 minutes to cook the wings completely. Want to kick the umami up a notch? A few
drops of your favorite fish sauce should do the trick.

Instructions
1. Peel the onion and cut into thin, uneven wedges. Peel the lower bart of the broccoli stem with a potato
peeler or a small sharp knife. Cut into thin rods lengthwise so that the florets and the stem are still
joined together.
2. Heat a generous amount of oil in wok pan or a sauté pan. Sauté broccoli and onion on high heat while
stirring for a few minutes. It's ok if it gets a little brown here and there – will give a nice flavor – but the
vegetables should still be crispy. Salt and pepper.
3. Slice or dice the chicken meat and add to the pan. Add coconut milk, curry paste and peanut butter and
stir. Let simmer for a few minutes to make the flavors come out.
5. Serve with zoodles or shirataki noodles if you feel that you need a side dish, but it's great as it is. Use a
spoon for the delicious sauce.
Tip!
If you don't have any chicken or turkey leftovers you can of course cook the meat before hand
any way you want. On the grill, in the frying pan or in the oven. Or buy cooked chicken or
turkey. You can also substitute meat with seafood. Skip peanut butter and peanuts if you want to
lower your carbs or don't tolerate legumes.

3. Creamy low-carb broccoli and leek soup
Instructions
1. Rinse the leek thoroughly and chop finely, both the green and the white parts. Cut off the core of the
broccoli and slice thinly. Divide the rest of the broccoli into smaller florets, and reserve.
2. Place the leek and the sliced broccoli core in a pot and cover with water. Season with salt, and bring to a
boil for a few minutes on high heat until the broccoli stem is just easily pierced with a knife.
3. Add the florets and garlic. Lower the heat and simmer for a few minutes, until the broccoli is bright
green and tender.
4. Add cream cheese, butter or olive oil, freshly ground black pepper, and basil. Blend with an immersion
blender until desired consistency.
5. If the soup is too thick, thin it out with water. If you’d like it to have a slightly thicker consistency, add a
touch of heavy cream. Serve with egg muffins or cheese chips.
Cheese chips
1. Fit a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Grate the cheese, and place mounds by the
tablespoon on the parchment. Leave 1 inch between the cheese mounds.
2. Top each cheese mound with paprika.
3. Bake in oven at 400°F (200°C) until the cheese has melted, about 5-6 minutes. Enjoy with a soup or as a
snack.
Tip!
Add different herbs and spices to the cheese mounds for different flavor profiles. Oregano, a
touch of cayenne, fresh thyme, or rosemary can all make these chips uniquely and utterly
irresistible!

4. Bring the heavy cream to a boil in a sauce pan. Lower the heat and add the cheese. Stir until melted and

Want to play around? This recipe is extremely versatile. Try swapping out the leeks for green
beans, Brussels sprouts or broccoli. If you don’t eat pork, smoked salmon, fried eggs, beef or
lamb cold cuts all make great substitutions. Different cheeses can also add a whole new level of
variety! Sharp cheddar, smoked gruyere, and tangy gorgonzola all work wonderfully in this

3. Keto avocado pie
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Mix all the ingredients for the pie dough in a food processor for a few
minutes until the dough forms a ball. If you don’t have a food processor, just knead the ingredients
together in a bowl using either a fork or your hands.
2. Attach a piece of parchment paper to a springform pan, no larger than 12 inches (26 cm) diameter. The
springform pan makes it easier to remove the pie when it’s done. Grease the pan and the paper.
3. Spread dough into the pan. Use an oiled spatula or your fingers. Pre-bake the crust for 10–15 minutes.
4. Split the avocado. Remove peel and pit, and dice. Remove the seeds from the chili and chop finely. Place
the avocado and the chili in a bowl and mix with the other ingredients.
5. Pour mixture into the pie crust. Bake for 35 minutes or until lightly golden brown. Let cool for a few
minutes and serve with a green salad.
Tip!
Reap the benefits of leftovers! This pie is just as delicious the next day! It also stores well in the
freezer. So, for a super-satisfying lunch, just toss a piece in your lunch bag. Or pack a few slices
into your favorite basket and head out for a summer picnic. Or reheat a few pieces for an easy

Instructions
Tortillas
2. Beat the eggs and egg whites together until fluffy. Add the cream cheese and continue to beat until the
batter is smooth.
3. Combine the salt, psyllium husk powder and coconut flour in a small bowl and mix well. Add the flour
mixture into the batter while beating. When combined, let the batter sit for a few minutes. It should be
thick like pancake batter. Your brand of psyllium husk powder affects this step — be patient… If it does
not thicken enough, add some more.
4. Place parchment paper on a baking sheet. Use a spatula to spread the batter over the parchment paper
into a big square (if you want round tortillas you can fry them in a frying pan like pancakes).
5. Bake on the upper rack for about 5–7 minutes. The tortilla turns a little brown around the edges when
done. Keep your eye on the oven — don’t let these tasty creations burn on the bottom!
6. Cut the big tortilla into smaller pieces (6 pieces per baking sheet).
Quesadillas
1. Heat a small, non-stick skillet. Add oil (or butter) if desired. Put a tortilla in the frying pan and sprinkle
with cheese, a handful of leafy greens and sprinkle with some more cheese, and top with another
tortilla.
2. Fry each quesadilla for about a minute on each side. You’ll know it’s done when the cheese melts.
Tip!
Never underestimate the power of melted cheese — in other words, make extra if you’re
expecting a crowd! And make some guacamole, too.
Add a dollop of the batter in the middle of the pan and swirl it around to cover. This will give
you a thin tortilla, or crepe if you would rather use it as that. Cook until set on top and then flip
carefully and let the other side cook for about a minute.
You can make the tortillas ahead of time. Allow them to cool completely before stacking them
with parchment paper in-between. Wrap them with plastic and keep them in the refrigerator for
2-3 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
When you are in the mood for fresh quesadillas - just add cheese and fry them according to the
instructions.
Once the quesadillas are assembled and cooked they are best to eat right away. They don't taste
as good when stored and reheated, so fingers crossed for no leftovers!

2. Divide the broccoli into small florets, including the stem. Peel with a sharp knife or potato peeler if the
stem is rough.
3. Fry broccoli in oil on medium high for 5 minutes, until golden and soft. Season with salt and pepper.
4. Add scallions, finely chopped, and the capers. Fry for another 1-2 minutes and place the vegetables in a
greased baking dish.
7. Bake for 20 minutes or until the fish is cooked through, and flakes easily with a fork. Serve as is, or with
a luscious green salad.
Tip!
Mix things up a little bit! Salmon and tuna (fresh or frozen) make awesome substitutes for the
white fish. Or, if there’s a broccoli-hater coming to dinner, sub in Brussels sprouts, asparagus,
zucchini or mushrooms. Use your imagination and this all-in-one dinner will never get boring.

Instructions
2. Place the meat in a deep baking dish and season with salt. Add water to cover 1/3 of the meat. Add bay
leaf, peppercorns, and thyme. Place the baking dish in the oven for 7–8 hours, covered with aluminum
foil.
3. If you're using a slow cooker, do the same thing in step 2 but only add 1 cup of water. Cook for 8 hours
on low or 4 hours on high.
4. Remove the meat from the baking dish, and reserve the pan juices in a separate pan.
6. Grate or finely chop garlic and ginger in a small bowl. Add oil, herbs and pepper and stir well to combine.
8. Return the meat to the baking dish, and roast for about 10–15 minutes, or until golden brown.
9. Cut the meat into thin slices and serve with the creamy gravy and side dishes of your choice.
Gravy
1. Strain the reserved pan juices to remove any solids. Boil and reduce to about half the volume, about 1
cup.
2. Pour into a pot with the whipping cream and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and let simmer for about
20 minutes or to your preferred consistency.
Tip!
Let the recipe work for you! There are a few different ways to use the long-cooking time to your
advantage. You can either start it early in the morning and put the finishing touches on in time
for dinner. Or you can start in the evening: slow-cook it overnight, and just set the roast aside in
the fridge during the day. Make the sauce and do the final cooking when you get home.

with each portion of greens and serve immediately.

Instructions
1. In a small bowl, whisk together all ingredients for the dressing. Reserve the dressing to develop flavor
while you make the salad.
2. Split the zucchini length-wise and scoop out the seeds. Cut the zucchini halves crosswise into ½-inch
pieces.
3. Heat olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat, until it shimmers. Add zucchini to the pan, and season
with salt and pepper. Sauté until lightly browned but still firm.
4. Trim and cut the salad. Place the romaine, arugula and chives in a large bowl. Stir in the cooked zucchini.
5. Roast the nuts briefly in the same pan as the zucchini. Season with salt and pepper. Spoon nuts onto
salad, and drizzle with salad dressing.
Tip!
Let your imagination soar! This dressing pairs beautifully with other salads – or even as a
refreshingly cool sauce for meat or fish. Make up extra dressing to keep on hand. It stores well
for at least 5 days in the refrigerator. The zucchini salad is super flexible too! Try it as the perfect
base for hearty grilled beef, chicken or fish.
