my low carb dinner tonight--
Here is a recipe for an oven-roasted version of the classic street-side flavor bomb usually cooked on a rotisserie. It is perfect for an evening with family and friends. Serve with pita and tahini, chopped cucumbers and tomatoes, some olives, chopped parsley, some feta, fried eggplant, hummus swirled with harissa, rice or rice pilaf. You can make the white sauce that traditionally accompanies it by cutting plain yogurt with mayonnaise and lemon juice, and flecking it with garlic.
Open plate grilled chicken shawarma
INGREDIENTS
2 lemons, juiced
½ cup plus 1 tablespoon olive oil
6 cloves garlic, peeled, smashed and minced
1 teaspoon kosher salt
2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 teaspoons paprika
1/2 cup yogurt
½ teaspoon turmeric
A pinch ground cinnamon
Red-pepper flakes, to taste
2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs sliced thin
1 large red onion, peeled and quartered
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
PREPARATION
Prepare a marinade for the chicken. Combine the lemon juice, 1/2 cup olive oil, garlic, salt, pepper, cumin, paprika, turmeric,yogurt, cinnamon and red-pepper flakes in a large bowl, then whisk to combine. Add the chicken, and toss well to coat. Cover, and store in refrigerator for at least 1 hour and up to 12 hours.
When ready to cook, preheat oven to 425. Use the remaining tablespoon of olive oil to grease a rimmed sheet pan. Add the quartered onion to the chicken and marinade, and toss once to combine. Remove the chicken and onion from the marinade, and place on the pan, spreading everything evenly across it.
Put the chicken in the oven, and roast until it is browned, crisp at the edges and cooked through, about 30 to 40 minutes. Remove from the oven, allow to rest 2 minutes.. (To make the chicken even more crisp, set a large pan over high heat, add a tablespoon of olive oil to the pan, then the sliced chicken, and sauté until everything curls tight in the heat.) Scatter the parsley over the top and serve with tomatoes, cucumbers, pita, white sauce, hot sauce, olives, fried eggplant, feta, rice — really anything you desire.

-- i increased the sauce and added more chili flakes n lemon as i like it v spicy. i also avoided the flour to keep it low carb…This is the third time I'm making this.

Chicken with lime and thyme
.250 g chicken breast flattened with mallet (i used thigh)
.2 tablespoon olive oil
.1 tsp garlic paste
.flour,enough to lightly coat the chicken fillets- i did NOT use flour as it had to be low carb
.a splash of white wine
.1 tsp dried thyme
.1 tablespoon lime juice
.1/4 tsp blk pepper crashed
.a pinch of chili flakes- i used lots more than a pinch
salt to taste
pepper to taste
Method
.Mix the garlic paste with olive oil and season with salt and pepper
.rub chicken with garlic marinade. keep 1/2 hour
.in a shallow non stick pan,heat remaining oil
.Dredge the chicken with flour,that is pat both sides of the chicken with a little flour
.Fry both sides on a med flame till chicken is cooked remove
.In the same pan,melt the butter,add wine,thyme,lime juice,peppercorns and chili flakes and cook on a high flame 2 mins

Sticky toffee date cake

Sticky toffee cake(yields 2 cakes)

Ingredients
1 pound dates, pitted and chopped
2 teaspoons baking soda
8 ounces butter, softened
3/4 cup granulated sugar
4 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
3 1/4 tablespoons baking powder
Ingredients

For the sauce

• 100ml/3½fl oz double cream
• 40g/1½oz butter
• 40g/1½oz dark brown sugar
• 2 tbsp black treacle
• 1 tbsp golden syrup

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter and flour two round ring pans
Place the dates in large saucepan with 3 1/2 cups cold water. Bring to boil, stirring a little to break up the dates. Then leave to simmer for 1 minute before removing from the heat. Stir in the baking soda (which will cause the mixture to bubble up).

Cream the butter and sugar together in a food mixer until pale and creamy. Add the eggs, one at a time, occasionally scraping down mixing bowl. Add the vanilla extract and then the flour and salt and mix briefly to give a lumpy dough.

Next, add the warm date mixture in two batches. Scrape down the sides of bowl in between mixing. The dough will now be quite watery but don't worry! Finally add the baking powder (this will bubble up also).

Pour the batter evenly into the two pans  Bake for about 30 to 40 minutes for cake pans . Test if they are cooked with a small knife or toothpick, it should come out clean when cakes are done.

Meanwhile, to make the sauce, combine all ingredients in a  medium saucepan. Bring to boil and then reduce to simmer gently for a minute or two until thickened and well blended.

When the cakes are done, poke little holes all over with chopsticks, this will enable the sauce to be absorbed more easily. Pour the caramel sauce over cakes while both are still warm and leave to soak for about 10 minutes. Turn the cakes out upside-down onto serving plates (the bottom is the most sticky bit!).

Serve with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream

low fat celery soup

Low fat celery soup

today some fresh celery was sent to me from the farm and i made a very low fat celery soup.....Low In Calories
Not all versions of celery soup are low in calories. Opt for one made with broth rather than one made with creamor butter. This will dramatically reduce the number of calories you take in when you eat celery soup. One large stalk of celery has only 10 calories, making it a good addition to soup when you are trying to lose weight. Combine celery with other vegetables to create a filling bowl of soup that is low in calories, but high in nutrients
i made a very simple low fat celery soup but it was delicious!!here goes the recipe..
teaspoons butter
2 cups diced celery
1onion chopped
1 tsp garlic chopped
1 .5 tsp ginger chopped
4 cups chicken stock with cubes or chicken powder

1/2 cup milk
freshly ground black pepper

Directions:

1
In a large saucepan,heat butter til bubbly,add garlic,ginger onion and stir fry 2 minutes add chopped celery. cook for 5 minutes. add stock

3
add salt and pepper. add milk. taste for salt
4
