Jewish Kamikaze pilots !

According to most lowcarb antis, us lowcarbers are Jewish Kamikaze pilots, on a one way trip into our brother in laws scrap yards. No future in lowcarb, it’s just a good way to kick off a weight loss deal, and short term. Five years on, I think maybe these folk would do better to have some psychiatric counselling before trying to lose weight. Lets face it, if they believe basing their diet on sugar and starch is the way forward, they're more nuts than me. Seriously what have us lowcarbers dumped ? White bread, pasta, rice, spuds and factory produced junk. Tonights radical grub I list below, try it, if you turn into a werewolf or mad axe killer I will give you your money back.

Mussels in white wine and garlic sauce

Lowcarb  lasagne

Ingredients serves two
250 grams ground/minced beef 

1 aubergine/egg plant
1 red onion

A splash of olive oil

300 ml of double cream

One 400 grams tin of chopped tomatoes

A cup of fresh grated cheddar cheese

Half a red pepper chopped

Half a green pepper chopped

A handful of button mushrooms

Salt, pepper and mixed herbs to taste 

Method:

Fry the finely chopped onion with the olive oil in a large frying pan, Americans call this a skillet I believe. When soft add the minced beef and brown. Add the chopped peppers, mushrooms and chopped tomatoes. Allow to come off the simmer and add the double cream, and stir well. Cut the aubergine into thin slices around 6mm/ around a quarter inch thick. Layer up, one layer of aubergine and one layer of the beef mix, in your oven proof dish, adding some salt, mixed herbs and pepper. Place in oven set at 200c for around thirty minutes. Remove and cover with grated cheddar cheese. Place back in the oven and cook for a further 10 minutes or until the cheese is golden brown. 

A truly great meal, very easy and lowcarb, enjoy !
