#Keto3weekmealplan #Tempehgyros #Vegangyrorecipe #3weekketogenicdiet #Ketodietrecipes #Ketorecipeseasy #Ketofishandchips #Ketojicamafries #Jicamafriesketo #Glutenfreefishandchips #Jicamarecipes #Ketofishrecipes








 


Ingredients

  • FOR THE GLUTEN FREE & KETO FISH TACOS
  • 250 g firm white-flesh fish preferably cod
  • 1/3 cup sour cream
  • 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
  • 4 cloves garlic ran through a press
  • kosher salt to taste
  • 1/2 cup whey protein isolate
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4-1/2 teaspoonkosher salt to taste
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tablespoon sour cream or coconut cream
  • 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
  • coconut oil or cooking oil of choice
  • SERVING SUGGESTIONS
  • 1 batch jicama fries 8 tortillas
  • 1 batch our keto mayonnaise
  • lemon
  • vinegar



Instructions

  1. Mix sour (or coconut) cream, vinegar, garlic and season to taste with salt. Cut the fish across the grain of the flesh into strips roundly 2 inches wide, and add them to the cream marinade. Cover and refrigerate for two hours, preferably overnight.
  2. Make a batch of our keto jicama fries.
  3. Prepare your frying station by adding enough oil to a skillet or pan to make it about 1/2-inch deep. You can save a lot of oil by using a narrower pan and frying in batches. Heat up oil over medium/low heat while you coat the fish.
  4. Mix the whey protein, baking powder, garlic powder and salt in a shallow plate or dish. In a second plate or dish, whisk the egg with cream and vinegar.
  5. Coat the fish by lightly removing excess marinade, dipping in the egg mix, followed by the whey protein mix, immediately placing in the hot oil and basting the top right away. You want to fry the fish right after coating for best crispness. Fry on both sides until deep golden and transfer to a paper-lined plate for a couple minutes.
  6. Serve right away over a bed of jicama fries, plenty of lemon, mayonnaise and a drizzle of vinegar.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup grated zucchini packed, squeezed to remove zucchini juice - about 4 small size zucchini
  • 1 egg
  • 1/3 cup arrowroot flour (or swap for grated cheese if keto) packed - arrowroot flour is very fine and volatile and to exactly measure the quantity I recommend to use this measuring spoon.
  • 2 tablespoon Coconut flour
  • 1 teaspoon oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt or sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground pepper - adjust regarding taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 180C (355F).
  2. Prepare a baking tray covered with baking paper. Set aside.
  3. Wash the zucchini and leave the skin on.
  4. Using a grater, finely grate the zucchini. Squeeze the extra zucchini juice with your hands. Discard the zucchini juice. Press the grated zuchini into a measuring cup until it reach 1 cup.
  5. Set aside into a mixing bowl. Add eggs and combine with the dry ingredients: arrowroot flour, coconut flour, oregano, salt and pepper. It will form a batter not too moist. If too moist - i could happen if you did not squeeze out the zucchini water very well- add an extra tablespoon of coconut four to absorb.
  6. Using a mechanical ice cream scoop maker. Scoop some zucchini tortilla batter.and scoop out onto the baking paper.
  7. Using your finger press the batter until thin and shape a round tortilla. It should not be thicker than 0.2 mm.
  8. Repeat until you scoop all the batter. The recipe makes about 6 tortilla 10 cm diameter.
  9. Bake for 20-30 minutes or until the tortilla gets brown on the side and hold together.
  10. Cool down on a rack to keep them moist.
  11. Eat hot or cold.
