BRAISED OXTAIL WITH COCONUT CAULIFLOWER RICE

A personal favorite of mine, Oxtail is a very tender, juicy, gelatin-rich meat. Usually found slow-cooked as a stew or braised, my version is packed full of amazing savory flavors and braised for 7 hours until it falls off the bone. Although, I didn’t cook the oxtail in the typical Jamaican style, I did pair mine with coconut cauliflower rice to give it a hint of sweetness while keeping it low in carbs. The results were amazing and had my family fighting over leftovers. If you like braised juicy meat, I highly recommend giving this recipe a try!

Enjoy!

INGREDIENTS:

- Serves 6 People -

- Braised Oxtail -

6LBS of Oxtail
Kosher Salt
3.5 TBSP of Curry
4 TBSP of Vegetable Oil
10 CUPS of Chicken Broth
8 Scallions - diced
2 Garlic Heads - cut in half
Pinch of Chilli Pepper Flakes
Pinch of Thyme
6” Piece of Giner - sliced in 1/8 slivers
4 TBSP of Soy
2 TBSP of Brown Sugar

- Coconut Cauliflower Rice -

1 TBSP of Butter
2 Cloves of Garlic - minced
2’ Piece of Ginger -Chopped
3 Scallions - diced
1/2 CUP of Unsweetened Coconut Milk
1/2 TSP of Brown Sugar
1000 Grams of Cauliflower Rice - I used from frozen

DIRECTIONS:

Heat oven to 250 degrees

In a large bowl, season oxtail generously with salt followed by the curry powder.

In a large deep skillet, or using a dutch oven heat up vegetable oil on the stove on medium-high and sear both sides of oxtail until browned. If you don’t have an oven-safe skillet or a large enough dutch oven to fit all the meat and liquid, first sear the oxtail in the skillet and then moved them to a roasting pan.

Once you have seared all the oxtail remove from skillet/dutch oven and add in chicken broth, scallions, garlic, chili pepper flakes, thyme, soy, ginger, and brown sugar. Allow this to come to a simmer and scrape the bits of oxtail that stuck to the bottom of the skillet to become loose before adding the mixture into your roasting pan, or placing the oxtail back in the dutch oven. The oxtail should be submerged in liquid.

Next, place the roasting pan or dutch oven with the oxtail in the oven to slow cook. Position lid partially off and allow to cook for 7 hours flipping pieces around halfway through. If at the halfway point the liquid has gone down a lot you can add in 1/2 cup of water.

30 minutes prior to Oxtail being ready its time to make the coconut cauliflower rice. Grab a large skillet, add in your butter and allow to heat up on medium. When hot add in your garlic, ginger, and scallions - saute for 3-4 minutes.

Next, add in your unsweetened coconut milk and brown sugar. Mix until well incorporated.

Finally, add in your cauliflower rice and allow it to steam and mix with sauce until fully coated.

Serve oxtail on rice when ready and garnish with more scallions.

Enjoy!

CRISPY KOREAN BIBIMBAP CAULIFLOWER RICE BOWL WITH BBQ CHICKEN & SPRING VEGGIES

Traditionally cooked in a stone bowl, Bibimbap is a Korean rice dish that literally translates to ‘mixed rice with meat and assorted vegetables. Ever since I first discovered Korean rice bows I’ve been a huge fan and the hot Bibimbap sauce dressing really pulls the pickled veggies in perfectly with the crispy rice and fresh veggies. In the effort to make this recipe more low carb, I substituted the traditional use of sticky rice for cauliflower rice and although it didn’t crisp up quite the same way as normal sticky rice, it was still a beautiful substitute that maintained the integrity of the dish and still held the flavors together. To add a little extra protein Adam also cooked up these wonderful juicy chicken thighs on the BBQ which made for the perfect addition to this otherwise largely veggie based dish. If you are looking for something new, spicy, and wonderful to try, I highly recommend this Bibimbap recipe!

BIBIMBAP INGREDIENTS:

- Serves 4 People -

- BBQ Chicken Thighs and Marinade -
16 Chicken Thighs Boneless and Skinless (3-4 Per Person)
1 CUP of Low Sodium Soya Sauce
1 TBSP of Grated Ginger
4-6 Sprigs of Green Onion
4-6 cloves of Garlic - chopped or grated
Cracked Black Pepper
1-2 TSP of Cayenne Pepper - as per your spice level

- Crispy Cauliflower Rice Bowl -
Frozen Cauliflower Rice (you will want about 200grams per Person)
1.5 CUPS of Snow Peas - Chopped
6 Sprigs of Green Onion
3-4- slices of Ginger
3 Persian Cucumbers
1 TSP of Kosher Salt
3 TBSP of Rice Vinegar
4 TBSP of Vegetable Oil - split into 2 parts
2 TSP of Sesame Seed Oil
1 CUP of Frozen Peas
1 TBSP of Butter
4 Eggs
Bean Sprouts

DIRECTIONS:

Throw the chicken along with all the marinade ingredients into a bowl and make sure the thighs are coated nicely. Allow chicken to marinate for min 30 minutes while chopping your veggies or overnight in the fridge.

Chop Persian cucumber in thin slices and place in a bowl. Add Kosher salt and massage into the cucumber. Dress with rice vinegar (make sure they are well coated and soaking in a little bath, and set aside allowing them to pickle while we move on to the other veggies.

Chop the snow peas on a diagonal in 1/4 inch pieces.

Chop the top (furthest from the stem) of the green onion on the diagonal until you have 1/4 CUP (set aside for garnish) and cut the remaining amount width-wise in thin slices as per normal.

In a large skillet, add in 3 TBSP of vegetable oil and 2 TSP of sesame oil and allow to heat up on medium. Once ready, add in your green onions (remember to save some for garnish) and ginger stirring constantly, and allow to fry for 3-4 minutes.

Once green onion and ginger are ready, add cauliflower rice into the skillet and mix until well incorporated before pressing the cauliflower down into the bottom of the skillet evenly and allowing it to cook on medium for the next 15 minutes.

During this time you can BBQ the chicken on medium-high heat, 10 minutes each side or until cooked through.

While the chicken and cauliflower are cooking make your Korean hot sauce by combining all the ingredients in a bowl and mixing thoroughly.

When cauliflower gets close to the 15-minute mark, give it a toss to allow crispy brown bits to mix and pat down again to form an even layer, allow to cook for an additional 5 -10 minutes until it is crispy. *Cauliflower rice will never get fully crispy because it holds a lot of water but it will get a little crispy

During these last few minutes fry up 4 eggs in a skillet using butter to coat the pan.

In a separate skillet, add 2 TBSP of vegetable oil and allow to heat up on medium heat. Add in the snow peas and frozen peas and allow them to fry ever so slightly before adding in 1/4 Cup of water, covering, and allowing to steam for 3-4 minutes.

When ready to plate, start with your cauliflower rice, add one friend egg to the middle, arrange bbq Chicken, bean sprouts, pickled Persian cucumber, and snow pea/pea mixture around the edge. Drizzle Korean hot sauce on top, garnish with extra green onion and serve!

Enjoy!

ROASTED BRUSSELS SPROUTS WITH CRISPY FRIED SHALLOTS

Made this simple brussel sprout recipe with crispy fried shallots and it was amazing. Loved the saltiness of the shallots against the dense Brussel sprouts drizzled in lemon. Delicious, salty, and perfect as a low carb veggie side for any meat dish you are cooking, I would also recommend making a little bit of extra fried shallots so you can have them with your meat as well. Further, Cassava flour is a keto-friendly flour making this a perfect side for any low carb diets but if you don’t have access to that flour, normal white flour makes a great substitute.

Enjoy!

INGREDIENTS:

- Serves 2-3 people

1.5 LBS of Brussels Sprouts - washed, remove steam and top layers, and cut into halves
6 TBSP of Olive Oil - Split into 2 portions, one 2.5 TBSP and 3.5 TBSP
Sea Salt and Pepper
3-4 Shallots - sliced Into onion rounds
1/4 Cup of Cassava Flour
Sea Salt
Freshly Squeezed Lemon

DIRECTIONS:

Set oven to 400 degrees.

Toss brussels sprouts in 2.5 TBSP of olive oil until evenly coated and sprinkle with salt and pepper.

Place brussels sprouts on a baking tray lined with aluminum foil and allow to bake in the oven for 30 or so minutes until tender.

While brussels sprouts are in the oven chop up shallots and place in a bowl. Add 1/4 Cup of Cassava flour and 1/4 TSP of salt, mix until the shallots are evenly coated.

Heat up 3.5 TBSP of olive oil in a skillet on medium-high. Once ready, reduce heat to low - medium and sprinkle in your floured shallots. Toss them every 3-5 minutes to make sure they don’t burn. Once nicely golden and crispy, set aside.

When the brussels sprouts are getting close to finished you can broil them for the last two minutes if you want them extra crispy.

When ready, plate brussels sprouts, add crispy shallots on top and drizzle with fresh lemon juice.

Serve while hot and enjoy!
