High Fat Cabbage Soup

This is an   excellent ketogenic food. Just a hint of carbohydrates in the single potato that is added.

Ingredients

  • High potassium salt
  • Cannonball Cabbage
  • Sausage
  • Bacon
  • Potato
  • Garlic
  • Green onions
  • Mushrooms
  • Cilantro
  • Olive oil
  • Pork – Tenderloin works well
  • Brocoli
  • Oregano

Use your own tastes to proportion the ingredients.  Cabbage boils down to a lower volume after cooking so you need to load up on it. The soup broth base comes from the fat.  Cabbage in high season will be sweet enough to provide counterpoint and the green flavor. 

Steps

  1. Sautee chopped onion in an open pressure cooker with olive oil.
  2. Add all the rest of the ingredients except the salt to a pressure cooker. 
  3. Add salt after pressure cook is finished to adjust saline levels.  Sausage varies in salt content so after cooking so taste testing for adjustment is a must.

Variants

  • Replace one of the meats with <> pork chops, ribs, chicken etc.  Your replacement should have adequate fat to supply the soup base

Sauteed Onions with Cilantro Salad

I have been eating a lot of bread with olive oil and cheese lately.  The groceries here in Brazil have a freshly baked bread that is pretty good.  I like to eat it with a salad but the onions in my salad seem to add little flavor and serve more as decoration or a method where in I can say I am not just eating lettuce.  Thus I was stimulated to make the onions do more.

Recipe

  • Sautee onions with olive oil.  When translucent add a sprinkle of cilantro.  Then let cool.
  • Put sauteed onions on top of lettuce and add lemon juice and all the oil from your pan.

This changed eating my salads from a chore into a real pleasure.
