Thread: Just Recipes!

OK I watched daily cooks yesterday and they made burgers with a twist, so that it what I shall call them.

Burgers with a twist

choice

sorry!

Burgers with a twist

Choice of any fresh mince, beef, turkey, lamb
salt & pepper
fresh chilli or hot chilli powder (optional)
garlic
chopped parsely (or any herbs of your liking)
Any cheese (mozzarella, boursin, philly, st. agur etc)


Mix mince, garlic, herbs, chilli, salt & pepper together well, take 2 small amounts and flatten into a circular burger shapes, not too thick, on top of one flattened burger add cheese of your liking and place the other flattened burger on top and then seal together. Make however you want.

Fry until cooked of your choice, well done, medium or rarer.

They are lush when cut into as cheese oozes out!

I had mine with mixed salad leaves, on daily cooks they made a basic salsa mix and put on top of burger.

Enjoy

Cheese and Sun-Blush Tomato Muffins
Preparation time 10 minutes, Cooking Time 20 minutes
Ingredients:
Makes 9
225g (8 oz) plain cottage cheese
65g (2 oz) freshly grated Parmesan, or Parmesan-style, cheese
50g (2½ oz) soya flour
100g (3½ oz) ground almonds
1 teaspoon baking powder
8 sun-blush tomato pieces, finely chopped
20g (¾ oz) basil, chopped
4 tablespoons water
4 eggs
salt and pepper

Everyone enjoys these light, puffy, protein-rich savoury muffins – and as they don’t contain any wheat flour, they’re ideal if you who want to avoid this or are watching your carbohydrate intake.

Line a 9-hole muffin tin with medium-sized muffin cakes (like cup-cake cases).

Put the cottage cheese into a bowl with all but 15g (½ oz) of the cheese, the soya flour, ground almonds, baking powder, sun-blush tomatoes, basil, water and eggs. Mix all together and season with salt and pepper.

Spoon the mixture into the muffin cases, scatter with the remaining cheese and bake in a preheated oven, 200oC, 400oF, Gas Mark 6, for 20 minutes, or until set, risen and golden brown.

Serve as soon as possible – they’re lovely eaten warm.

I prefer them cooled, with a cup of coffee. Yum. You can get soya flour at Holland and Barretts.

Low Carb Flax Seed Muffins

• 6 T butter - melted
• 3 large eggs
• ¼ cup whipping cream (or half and half)
• Beat these 3 ingredients together, and then add:
  
  • ½ cup Splenda (artificial sweetener)
  • 1 T maple flavoring
  • 1 T vanilla

Mix the following together and add to the above:

• 2 t cinnamon
• 1 t nutmeg
• ½ rounded t baking powder
• ½ rounded t baking soda
• 1 cup ground flaxseeds
• ¼ cup soy flour or Atkin's Bake Mix
• 4 oz black walnuts, chopped (optional)

Put into 12 paper cupcake liners in a muffin tin and bake at 375 degrees for 15-20 minutes. You can also double the recipe and get 18-20 larger size muffins.
These have been recommended as "very good with lots of fiber". About 4 carb per muffin but over 3 is in the form of fiber. Other flavorings have been tried - banana, pineapple or unsweetened coconut also taste great. These muffins freeze well, too.
These can also be made in the microwave. In a 1000 watt microwave, 12 muffins take about 2 minutes and 10 seconds.

1 minute muffin recipe

Hi, I have just returned home after buying my first pack of flaxseed and tried the recipe for the muffin (containing cinnamon). Whlist that was nice, I tried another of my own. 1/4 mug (roughly 30g) flaxseed, 1/2 tsp baking powder, 1g vanilla powder, 2 tsp granulated sweetner, 1 egg and tiny bit of butter. Mix. Pop in microwave for about 70 seconds (900watt) and then eat...mmmmmmm!!!



can everybody who has tasty recipes please add to this thread otherwise when put on other threads they get lost all too quickly.
A big thankyou to the 3 above recipes which were posted by peeps.

Hi - this is not my recipe and I have NOT tried it... but there is a tortilla note in it - maybe you could make taco shells out of it. I'll post another recipe for pizza. The crust is to die for! The pizza is delicious and I'd say that the crust could be used as a flat taco shell easily!

1 8oz Pkg cream cheese
3 eggs
3 tsp Splenda
1/2 cup Atkins Bake Mix
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp onion powder
1 tbsp parsley flakes
1/4 cup buttermilk

Beat cream cheese with mixer until blended smooth, add the remaining ingredients. Spray pan with a light coat of olive oil flavored non stick spray and pour in pan about 1 tbps of mix. It will make a perfect round bun! You can freeze them and reheat them in the toaster! My hubby says this is the best bread yet.

It should come out to about 1 carb per bun!

And to make TORTILLAS
________________________________________
On the reverse side of parchment paper,draw around a bread and butter plate.
Then put about a tablespoon of the mixture on and carefully and thinly spread to the circle shape..nuke for one minute,they will puff up,then go down. As they cool you can easily peel them off the paper. {I usually have 2 going and fire one in to nuke while 1 is cooling]
You will get about 20. Then you dry fry each side in a pan til golden..Voila! Tortillas! store well in the fridge{just reheat in microwave for 20 secs]
I dry fry them for a litte longer and use them to scoop curries[Yum]

Pizza recipe I got from somewhere on the web. I can't take credit for it - but I can tell you I made it many, many times. Cut it up into slices and froze it. Pizza and salad for lunch was a quick easy meal that was fantastic!

DEEP DISH PIZZA
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
2 eggs
1/4 cup parmesan cheese, 1 ounce (I used the kind in a can)
1/4 teaspoon oregano or Italian seasoning
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
8 ounces Italian cheese blend or mozzarella cheese, shredded
1/4 cup pizza sauce
4 ounces mozzarella cheese, shredded
Assorted toppings: pepperoni, ham, sausage, 4 ounce can mushrooms, green peppers, bacon, ground beef, etc.
Dash of garlic pepper or garlic powder and some Italian seasoning for top of pizza

In a medium bowl, whisk cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Whisk in eggs until mixture is well-blended and smooth. Add the parmesan and seasonings, then stir in the 8 ounces of mozzarella until completely moistened. Spread cheese mixture evenly in a well-greased 9x13" glass baking dish or lightly greased and lined with parchment paper (see note below). Bake at 375º 20-25 minutes or until evenly browned, but not too dark. Let cool completely on a wire rack. When nearly cooled, take a metal spatula and carefully pry up the edges to loosen from pan. Ease the spatula under the whole crust to loosen. Keep crust in the pan. This makes it easier to remove the finished pizza later. Refrigerate, uncovered, until shortly before serving time.

Spread chilled crust with pizza sauce, then cheese and toppings of your choice. Lightly sprinkle with seasonings of your choice. Bake at 375º about 15-20 minutes or until toppings are bubbly. Let stand a few minutes before cutting.

Cheesy Green Chicken

Last night I made this as it just happened to be what I could find in my fridge and freezer.

Cut open some chicken breasts, stuffed them with mix of philadelphia, spinach and garlic granules. Sealed them up by wrapping bacon around and cooked in oven gas mark 6 for 25 mins. Lovely and juicy and tasy

Method

Chop half the onion finely, cut the remaining half it 4 chunks.

Just thought I would share my delicious prawn & spinach curry recipe with you. I adapted it from Jums original curry recipe.

1 onion
mushrooms
4 cloves of garlic
ginger (I used ground ginger - about 1/4 teaspoon)
teaspoon of cumin seeds
1 green chilli
2 fresh tomato chopped
prawns
spinach
1/2 teaspoon garam masala
coriander
double cream 2 tablespoons
grated cheese (sprinkle)

fry the onions in extra virgin olive oil, add garlic, ginger, cumin seeds, mushrooms & chillis finely chopped. Add tomatoes and heat through. add prawns & spinach (I used frozen) and just enough water to cover it.
Simmer for 20 mins then rapid boil to thicken. When its at the right consistency for you add the garam masala and double cream. When the cream has warmed through I added a little grated cheese until it melted.

Enjoy its delicious!
