LOW CARB STEAK PIE

I'm not sure if I have posted this before or not I may have but as @Sally W has pointed out it may have got lost somewhere in this thread...I am trying my best to make all the low carb recipes I have posted here...I think I am up to date now having finally made this pie...I want to be able to taste what I'm recommending...tweak them if necessary...improve hem if possible...I can recommend this one...just had some for lunch...so good to have guilt free pie for lunch.
Ingredients (makes 6 pies):
Filling:
  • 200g mince beef meat ( I used 250gs of steak mince)
  • 1 small onion (I used 60g)
  • 1 celery stick ( I am not a celery lover so did not include this)
  • 1 small carrot ( I substituted the carrot for 7/8 mushrooms)
  • 4 mushrooms
  • 1tbsp coconut oil (I did not use the coconut oil, I will try that on the next one, I thought it might make the pastry too oily)
  • 1 tbsp tomato puree(I am not a fan of tomato puree so didn't include this either)
  • Spices (black pepper, salt, paprika, splash of soya sauce,oregano,garlic chopped) I just used some onion which I sweated for about 5 minutes & some chopped garlic, a little salt & some black pepper but use whatever herbs or spices you want to

Pastry:
  • 150 ground almonds
  • 40g soy flour
  • 250g Mozzarella, grated
  • 100g cream cheese
  • 1 egg
  • ½ tsp salt
  • Pinch of black pepper

Preparation:
Filling:
  • Finely dice carrots, celery stick, mushrooms and onions. Heat up the coconut oil and sauté vegetables together with mince meat. Add tomato pure, garlic and spices. Fry for a couple more minutes and set aside to cool down a bit.
Pastry
  • Place mozzarella and cream cheese in a medium saucepan. Heat it up over a medium heat, string continuously, until its full liquid. Let it cool down slightly and add ground almonds, soya flour, the egg , salt and black pepper. Stir by hand to make dough.
  • Place the dough in the fridge for about an hour.
  • Preheat oven to 220C and prepare little bowl of water to dip your fingers in. It really helps to work the dough into shape.
  • Divide the dough into two portions, about 60/40 ratio. Take the larger part and divide into six equal balls. Push these small portions into a large muffin tin. It will be a bit tricky as the dough is a bit sticky, but you should be able to fully line the muffin cups. Place in the oven and bake for about 10 minutes, until slightly browned. Remove from the oven and fill the pies with mince meat.
  • Divide the smaller portion of dough into six little balls. Place each ball on top of the pie and cover it, making sure the edges are stuck together. Bake for another 15 minutes until pies are golden brown. Let it cool down slightly before serving.

Sally it is quite a lot of work but absolutely worth it...I haven't had a meat pie for so long...I wasn't sure if this would be a regular pastry...but it is good...and would be suitable for sweet or savoury pies...good luck...if you do make one I'd love to see the results...be careful with @Vince_UK ...he'll be wanting a food parcel.

Vince has tried a few times to get food parcels from me but as I explained they would be battered and completely inedible by the time they reached him!

Keto Pound Cake Strawberry Shortcake

My next project

Keto Pound Cake Strawberry Shortcake
Prep Time
10 mins
Cook Time
45 mins
Total Time
55 mins

This tender golden keto pound cake has the strawberries mixed into the batter making it the best strawberry shortcake ever

Ingredients

4 tbsp butter softened
1/2 cup sweetener use whichever you prefer
4 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
1/4 cup sour cream
1 1/4 cup almond flour
1/4 cup coconut flour
1/4 cup ground golden flax (or additional almond flour)
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
3/4 cup strawberries chopped
Whipped Cream:

Preparation

  1. Preheat oven to 350f or 180c. Grease a loaf pan liberally with butter.
  2. In a bowl with an electric mixer cream the butter and sweetener until light and fluffy. Add the sour cream and vanilla and beat until combined. Add the eggs one at a time mixing after each.
  3. Stir in the flours, baking powder, and salt until thoroughly combined. Fold in the strawberries. Pour into loaf pan and spread evenly.
  4. Bake at 180c for 45-60 min until golden, firm to the touch, and no longer jiggly check occasionally since all oven temperatures vary.
  5. Meanwhile, whip the cream. Once peaks form add the sweetener. Refrigerate until ready to serve. Slice the cake and serve with whipped cream and extra berries.

This works out at 3gs of carbs per 8g slice if you'd prefer to double the size of your servings it still comes out at 6gs of carbs per 16g slice however be careful of the calories it works out at 321 for the smaller slice.
