Hey! Did you know Keto lunches are easy?

TWO KETO Lunch ideas - Quick and Easy
I like quick-and-easy cooking and only-few-ingredients recipes.
I always know the food that I cannot eat in a ‘keto’ diet, so, I steer clear from those foods, and I build my recipes based on the leftover items in the fridge or the pantry that are Keto-friendly.
For these two lunches I only used: ghee for cooking (can replace with butter or olive oil), sour cream, parmesan and cheddar, mushrooms, cauliflower, tomatoes, chicken.
As condiments, just use what you like, which usually is what you always have available: salt, pepper, garlic, chilli flakes, thyme, dill, oregano, and so on.
Sounds easy, is it not?
Lunch 1: Oven Baked Chicken breast with cauliflower mash
- 1 chicken breast (or 2 chicken tight fillets)
- ½ cauliflower
- 2 Tbsp. parmesan
- 1 Tbsp. butter full fat
- 1 Tbsp. full fat sour cream
Place the chicken in a tray, season with salt and pepper, garlic and thyme (this is my flavour for the day); add oil or ghee. Bake it for 18-20 min at 220 Celsius.
Cut the cauliflower in few pieces and boil it in water with salt. Once boiled, make sure you drain the cauliflower completely - because it does absorb a lot of water and the mash will turn out rather… mushy. Mash it really good, then add some salt, pepper, the parmesan (or other grated cheese) and the butter (or even olive oil).
Eh, voila! Simple and easy.
Lunch 2: Cheesy Oven grilled mushrooms
- 10 button mushrooms (or whatever you have)
- 2 TBS butter
- ½ cup cheese (whatever is in the leftover in the fridge)
- Tomatoes
Place the mushrooms straight in an oven tray (I use a pizza tray), and start stuffing them with butter, cheese and tomatoes, and season with salt and pepper.
It really doesn’t matter how you do it. I prefer to put the butter first, so the mushroom absorbs it while cooking, then the cheese and tomatoes.
If you have the flat mushrooms (which are the same family as the button ones, only that they were grown longer and got … bigger) then cut the cheese and tomatoes in slices and make them as sandwich on the mushrooms.
Place the tray in the oven and roast them for 15 minutes. I roast them at about 190-200 Celsius, I like the cheese to get a but crispy-burnt.
Be generous with the salad as a side dish, with any of the keto friendly ones: tomato, capsicum, kale, lettuce, cucumber. Feel free to use sour cream for dressing your salad.
Eh, voila! Simple and easy.
