Does anyone have any good low carb recipes?
Chicken tikka
A delicious dish, not too spicy, which combines the natural proteins, vitamins and minerals of the chicken with the vitamins and antioxidants of the herbs.
For 2
300 grams skinless chicken breast, cubedMarinade
11/2 tsp chilli powder1 garlic clove, peeled and finely chopped
2 slices fresh ginger root, peeled and finely chopped1/2 tsp ground turmeric
1/2 tsp ground cumin1 shallot, peeled and grated
pinch of rock salt
freshly ground black pepper
2 tsp fresh lemon juice100 ml natural yoghurt
2 tsp fresh coriander, finely choppedMix together the chilli powder, garlic, ginger, turmeric, cumin, shallot, salt, pepper, lemon juice, natural yogurt and coriander in a medium bowl, and stir in the chicken. Cover and leave to marinate in the fridge for at least 3-4 hours - or preferably overnight.
Grill the marinated chicken under medium heat for about 20 minutes, turning regularly. (I have done in the oven for about 30mins)
Serve with a crispy green salad and lime wedges.
Carbohydrate content per serve: 11 grams

There is also a rather nice website which may be a useful source of low-carb recipes for Atkins and other low carb diets:

Char the chicken: Season the chicken. Either barbecue, grill or griddle over a high-ish heat for about 8 mins on each side, until lightly charred and cooked through.
Toss the salad: While the chicken is cooking, toss the onion, cucumber, beansprouts and coriander with the oil and lime juice and scatter over a serving platter or dish. In a small bowl, whisk together the dressing ingredients, starting with 1 tbsp of curry paste and increasing if a more spicy heat is required. Add a little water to make a drizzling consistency.
Slice and serve: Slice the cooked chicken into long strips and scatter them over the salad. Drizzle half the dressing over the salad and place the rest in a small jug. Serve and enjoy.
I wonder how they get 12 grams of carbs per serving out of that recipe?
Where are the carbs??
I don't see 24 grams (total) in that!

Hi,
I'm not an expert on this, but I believe most of the carbs come from the natural sugars in the vegetables. There is also a tablespoon of flour in there, and that's all carbs as well.
But, as long as the subject has come up, is there any expert out there who can tell me if nut flours (like almond flour or pecan flour) are high in carbs?

Hmmm. I wouldn't have thought the onion had so many, and I sure wouldn't have thought the beef stock had ANY!!!!

go to google and type in low carb and it will bring you to the alt.support.diet.lowcarb or something like that. you will find lots of information as well as links to recipes. also, if you just do a search on yahoo under low carb recipes, it brings you to TONS of sites. on of my favorite is lowcarbluxury.com
good luck
