    Step-By-Step Instructions:

    1. To prep the collards: Run each leaf under cold running water to clean. Slice the rib from the center of each leaf and chop the leaves into small pieces. Discard ribs. Add chopped leaves to a large bowl and cover with water; add a splash of vinegar. Let sit for 15 minutes.
    2. Heat a large heavy pot (such as a Dutch oven) over medium heat and add the oil.
    3. Add the onions to the pot and cook, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften, 4–5 minutes.
    4. Add drained collards and cook, stirring occasionally, until wilted, 3–4 minutes.
    5. Add potatoes, oregano, tomatoes, and water. Cook on low heat, slightly covered, for 20–30 minutes, until potatoes are fork-tender.
    6. Stir in white beans. Garnish with crushed red pepper if desired.

    Chicken Curry

    How to Make Chicken Curry

    The warm and rich flavor of curry transforms chicken breasts into an exceptional main dish. The chicken and vegetables simmer in your slow cooker or use your electric pressure cooker for an easy main dish, then serve it on hot cooked rice. The various toppings on curry means you can customize your dish just the way you like it. This one is topped with tomatoes, pepper, and cilantro; but another time, top it with chopped apples, chopped bananas, slivered toasted almonds, chopped avocado, or a small dollop of fat-free, plain Greek yogurt.


    30 min prep time


    4servings


    1 1/4 cups chicken and vegetables and 1/2 cup rice

    Print Recipe >

    Step-By-Step Instructions:

    1. Spray a medium slow cooker for 1 second with cooking spray. Place the onion, red bell pepper, and cauliflower into the slow cooker.
    2. Heat a large skillet over medium high heat. Spray the skillet for 1 second with cooking spray. Place the chicken in the skillet and cook just until browned, turn and brown the second side. Place the chicken over the vegetables in the slow cooker.
    3. Sprinkle the chicken with the curry powder, garlic, paprika, cumin and salt. Pour the light coconut milk and broth overall. Cover and cook on Low for 3 to 5 hours or until the chicken is fully cooked and the chicken reaches a temperature of 165 F.
    4. About an hour before serving, prepare the rice using the package directions, omitting the salt and margarine.
    5. Using a slotted spoon, lift the chicken breasts out of the slow cooker and place on a cutting board. Turn the slow cooker to High. Blend the cornstarch into the cold water, blending until smooth. Stir the cornstarch mixture into the slow cooker. Cover and allow to cook about 15 minutes or until thickened and bubbly, stirring occasionally.
    6. When the chicken is cool enough to handle, cut the chicken into bitesize pieces. Stir the chicken back into the slow cooker and allow to heat through.
    7. To serve, spoon the hot cooked brown rice onto each plate. Top with the chicken curry. Sprinkle the top of each serving with 2 tablespoons chopped tomatoes, 1 tablespoon chopped green bell pepper and 2 teaspoons minced cilantro.
    8. Cook’s Tip on Curry Powder: Curry powder is a combination of several spices and herbs, including coriander, cumin, turmeric, cloves, and chilies. Those curry powders labeled as madras are hot, but if you are unsure, or using a brand you are not familiar with, you might add about half the curry powder listed in the recipe the first time you make it. Then, you can taste the dish near the end of cooking and add additional seasoning, as desired.
    9. Cook’s Tip on Coconut Milk: Coconut milk is available canned and is typically shelved with the Asian foods in most larger grocery stores. For this recipe, light coconut milk is used. Do not confuse coconut milk with cream of coconut that is used when making cocktails. Stir the coconut milk well before measuring. Once open, you can cover the coconut milk and store it in the refrigerator for up to about one week.
    10. Electric Pressure Cooker Variation: Heat the pressure cooker on the sauté setting. Add 1 teaspoon olive oil and sear the chicken breasts until well browned on both sides. Turn the pressure cooker off. Add the vegetables, seasonings, coconut milk and broth. Secure the cover and cook on High Pressure for 6 minutes. Quickly release the pressure. Remove the chicken breasts with a slotted spoon. Blend the cornstarch in the cold water and blend into the curry as directed above. Cook on the sauté setting, stirring frequently until bubbly and thickened. Cut the chicken breasts into cubes and stir into the curry. Proceed as the recipe directs.

    Print Recipe >

    Step-By-Step Instructions:

    1. Cut pork loin into 1-inch cubes. Place in a resealable plastic bag set in a shallow dish. In a small bowl combine 3 tablespoons olive oil, garlic, lemon zest, cumin and ½ teaspoon black pepper. Pour half of the olive oil mixture over meat (reserve remaining half). Seal bag; turn to coat meat. Marinate in the refrigerator for 2 hours, turning bag occasionally.
    2. Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium-high heat. Add onion and cook and stir 6 to 8 minutes or until tender. Add stock and bring to a boil. Add sorghum. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, 45 to 60 minutes or until the sorghum is tender, stirring occasionally.
    3. Preheat oven to 400°F. Arrange chickpeas on a foil-lined 15x10x1-inch baking pan. Drizzle with reserved olive oil mixture; toss to coat. Roast in preheated oven 20 to 30 minutes or until chickpeas are toasted and crispy, stirring occasionally. Remove from oven and set oven temperature to 500°F.
    4. Drain meat, discarding marinade. Divide meat amongst 6 wooden or metal skewers. Arrange skewers on a wire rack on top of a baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes or until meat is slightly pink in the center, turning once halfway through.
    5. To serve, divide cooked sorghum between 6 shallow bowls. Top with tomatoes, arugula, cucumber, feta cheese, olives, chickpeas and Red Lentil Hummus. Serve with pork skewers.

    How to Make Zuppa Toscana with Cauliflower and Kale

    This classic Italian soup is traditionally made with leafy greens, white beans, and potatoes in a savory broth with a little bit of spice. To make a low carb version, we replaced the white beans and potatoes with fresh cauliflower. Greek yogurt adds creaminess to the broth, and chicken adds extra protein. Add a side of Cauliflower Garlic “Bread” Sticks for a satisfying low carb meal.

  • Sheet Pan Miso Salmon and Sesame Bok Choy

    Sheet Pan Miso Salmon and Sesame Bok Choy

    How to Make Sheet Pan Miso Salmon and Sesame Bok Choy

    This Asian-inspired sheet pan dinner features roasted baby bok choy, a small type of Chinese cabbage, and flavorful salmon marinated with miso. If you can’t find bok choy, Brussels sprouts or broccoli would work well instead. Finish off you plate with a side of brown rice or cauliflower rice for a very low carb meal.

    Step-By-Step Instructions:

    1. In a medium bowl or large resealable plastic bag, mix the miso paste, rice vinegar, ½ tbsp of sesame oil and garlic. Add the salmon and gently coat with the marinade. Cover the bowl or seal the bag and marinate in the fridge for 15 minutes (if you’re short on time you can skip the marinating step).
    2. Preheat your oven to 450 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
    3. Cut the root ends off the bok choy and cut each one in half horizontally.
    4. Remove salmon fillets from the marinade and place on one end of the prepared baking sheet, skin side down. (Discard any remaining marinade.)
    5. At the other end of the baking sheet, arrange the bok choy cut side down. Drizzle with the remaining ½ tbsp of sesame oil and tamari.
    6. Roast for 8 minutes or until the salmon is cooked through and the bok choy is tender.
    7. Plate the salmon filets and bok choy and sprinkle the bok choy with sesame seeds.

  • Tofu Banh Mi Bowl

    Tofu Banh Mi Bowl

    How to Make Tofu Banh Mi Bowl

    Bahn Mi is a Vietnamese sandwich served on a French Baguette. It’s typically filled with pork, pickled vegetables, cilantro, and peppers. In this low carb, vegetarian version, we use tofu instead of pork, ditch the baguette, and toss everything together in a bowl. The result is a colorful, low carb meal packed with a variety of flavors and textures.

    Step-By-Step Instructions:

    1. Prepare the pickled vegetables: Add the carrot, radish, jalapeno, 1/2 cup of the vinegar, water and salt to a small bowl. Cover and put in the fridge for 20 minutes.

    2. Drain the tofu: Line a plate with a clean dish towel or 4 layers of paper towels. Set the tofu on top of the towel(s) and fold the rest of the towel(s) on top of the tofu to cover. Put another plate on top of those towels and place something heavy on the top of the stack. Let sit for at least a few minutes to remove some of the water from the tofu.

    3. Marinate the tofu: After it has drained, cut the tofu into 8 slices and add to a medium bowl. Add the lime juice, 2 tbsp of the tamari and sriracha. Cover and let marinate for 10 minutes.

    4. Prepare the dressing: in small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, remaining 1/2 tbsp rice vinegar, remaining 2 tsp lime juice, remaining 1 tsp tamari, sesame oil, garlic powder, and pepper.

    5. Cook the tofu: Heat the avocado oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Drain the tofu and discard the excess marinade. Add the tofu slices to the skillet in a single layer (cook in batches if needed). Cook for 6 minutes per side or until golden.

    6. Prepare the bowls: Divide the cabbages between two large bowls. Top each with half the cucumber slices and 4 slices tofu. Drain the pickled carrot and radish, and top each bowl with half the pickled vegetables. Drizzle half the dressing over each bowl, then garnish each with cilantro, basil, and peanuts.
