High fat, low to moderate protein recipes?
Those of us who are trying the nutritional ketosis approach of low carbs, moderate protein, and high fat may find it challenging to identify recipes that have a high ratio of fat to protein (and low carbs). I will post some recipes that I've identified which meet the high fat criterion without using artificial sweeteners. I encourage others to add to this thread with other high-fat recipes.
Below are some of my recipes; I don't remember the source of these recipes originally, since I've been collecting recipes from many sources for many years, so I cannot properly credit the source (sorry).

An easy cream sauce for meats or veggies:
Bring cream or 1/2&1/2 to a simmer and add dijon mustard (1/2 - 1tsp per 1/2 cup liquid) or pesto (1T - 2T per 1/2 cup liquid - depends on how much you like pesto!). Stir until heated through and thickened (just a minute or 2). |

People may find some useful recipes on Youtube by searching for LCHF recipes (for example, by LCHFWilliam, a Scandinavian cook who does polished videos of tasty recipes). It appears that the LCHF approach used by Swedes really is focused on high fat as well as low carb. (One video of LCHF Breakfast is based on butter, bacon, eggs, cheese, and mayonnaise put together in one plateful of food, with the slogan, "LCHF Never Be Hungry Again.") LCHFWilliam's recipe for "Low Carbonara" with salmon and a cup of cream over zucchini noodles looks luscious, for example.

This one turns out to be a good 'fit'....
Almond Crackers 1.5 cups almond flour 4 drops liquid sucralose (optional) 1 egg, beaten 1 tbsp. butter (softened) 3/4 tsp. salt 2 tbsp dried onion 3/4 tsp. garlic powder 1/2 tsp. fresh ground pepper course salt for the tops Mix all ingredients well in a small bowl. Everything should be moist and the dough should hold together somewhat. Place dough on a well greased sheet of parchment paper. Cover with the same and roll out to about 1/8 th inch thickness. Try to get the dough to an even thickness. You can also carefully peel up the paper and reshape the dough to get it as close to rectangular as possible, about 12x12" square. Replace the paper and continue rolling until nice and even. Peel off the parchment and sue a pizza or ravioli cutter to score the dough into approx. 1.5 inch squares. Sprinkle with course salt (optional). Slide the whole thing onto a cookie sheet and bake at 325 ⁰F for 10 to 15 minutes (or until golden), then turn off oven and allow to rest for another 15 minutes. Cool and break apart. They keep well in an airtight container in the fridge and also freeze well. Per batch: 44g protein, 101g fat, 38g carb, 20g dietary fiber, 18g net carbs

Coconut Oil Dark Chocolate Fudge
1/2 cup coconut oil 1/2 cup cocoa powder (packed) -- (I use Dutch cocoa) 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream 2 teaspoons sugar free flavored syrup (hazelnut and/or vanilla) -- optional 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 7 teaspoons powdered sweetener like stevia or splenda-- (7-8 tsps) 1/8 teaspoon salt Measure 1/2 cup virgin coconut oil into a small microwave mixing/measuring pitcher... and warm till melted Measure into a microwave safe bowl, 1/2 tsp of vanilla, syrups if desired, 1/8th tsp of salt and Truvia. Cover and warm in the microwave until the granulated sweeteners and salt are dissolved into the liquid. Add 1/2 cup of full fat whipping cream and cook for a bit till hot. Allow to cool till no longer hot but still warm. While it is cooling, remove the melted oil from the microwave and measure 1/2 cup of cocoa powder into it, mix with a spoon, till you have a chocolate liquid oil. Pour the warm cream mixture into the oil mixture and mix with a hand blender (aka stick blender) until emulsified or whisk until smooth and thick. Spoon into wax paper lined casserole, level off and put in the freezer for 10 minutes or in the fridge if you are not in a hurry. The finished product may be stored in the refrigerator and does not need to be stored in the freezer. NOTES : If the two mixtures (coconut oil/cocoa and cream/Truvia) are too hot, they will not combine no matter what you do. The oil will totally separate and it will be layered with chocolate on the bottom and coconut oil on the top. Be sure all ingredients are cool enough to combine well. This recipe doubles really well. Once it is firmed up, I invert it onto a cutting board and cut into small squares and store in the refrigerator.
