Lockdown Italian dinner.

Eggplant rolls with ricotta, parmesan, pine nuts and basil, followed by a little porchetta (rolled pork belly seasoned with garlic, fennel, lemon rind, parmesan and prosciutto.)

A couple of glasses of Chablis to wash it down, as there are no decent Italian wines available locally

Been away a while. On a bit of a low carb diet at the moment aka dirty keto. Lost 10 kilo in 42 days which I am stoked about.

I hear what youre saying Ramjet.... Ive ditched the carbs for mostly protein and healthy fats like MCT, avo, olive oil etc. Im feeling much more energetic. Its ironic that consuming more fat helps you lose the kilos, providing you keep away from the bread and cakes.
Btw, how do you make your zucchini noodles ?
 
Ozzie ya have to watch eating too much protein for too long. It can cause kidney stones and other issues.

I have had a couple of days of low energy and I just wasn't eating enough calories. Hard to get a good balance.

My wife picked up the gizmo below for $5. Bargain. It takes 30 seconds to make a bowl of zucchini noodles.

Just slammed a slow cook on,
Yeah, Got some tater's in it but the rest is
unprocessed food.

Nice marbled chuck steak, shrooms, tomatoes, spices,
onion, Capsicum, you name it.

All ingredients were seared in Olive Oil before insertion. LOL

After it has cooked for 6 hours on low, The vegies get
nuked and also installed.

Under professional guidance I produced this caramel mud cake, with home cooked caramel centre, real cream infused with caramel flavour on top, and Mrs S made a caramel sauce from raw sugar, milk, and cream to drissle over it all.

gave a fair bit away as I(we) don't need to eat much of that anyway.
Was just a practice run to see if it'll be good enough for a birthday cake :drooling:

Usually has brussel sprouts instead of broccoli.... but only I love Brussels here,.... the bacon chunks and maple syrup really make it special when it comes to flavor (two cream of chicken cupasoups in a bottle of cream, thicken it at the end)

I cannot imagine Maple Syrup in that dish, but each to there own and i shouldnt comment until i have tried it.

Mackka, just earlier this year I too could not imagine it. But persistently I watched Mrs S have pancakes with cream and maple syrup on a plate with bacon on the side, and she kept on saying it all goes great together.... and(after finally relenting my oposition) it truly does (beyond all belief.... an entirely new taste sensation unaquirable by any other means eccepting their combination)well worth the tentative exploration into the domain of unreasonable belief. :D
