Low Carb Recipes - Tastiest Low Carb Recipes

By Jenny Banks

A low carbohydrate diet means taking fewer carbohydrates. In such a diet, the intake of proteins and certain fats is increased and foods that have high content of carbohydrates are excluded. Foods such as Pasta, Noodles, Rice, and Desserts are high in carbs. In the 1990s Dr. Atkins started the high-protein and low-carb diet.

Some recommended low-carb recipes are as follows:

Spinach with spices

Ingredients

• 2 pounds Spinach
• 2 cloves garlic
• 2 cloves
• Half tablespoon white butter
• A few fenugreek seeds
• One stick cinnamon
• Few seeds of crushed black pepper
• Salt to taste

Method
Wash and finely chop spinach leaves. Add butter into a pan. Add fenugreek seeds, cloves, garlic, cinnamon, crushed pepper and stir for 2 minutes. Then add spinach and salt and cook on low heat for about 20 minutes.

Baked Fish

Ingredients

• One pound fillet of fish
• Salt to taste
• Black Pepper
• One teaspoon Olive Oil
• One tablespoon lemon juice

Method
Marinate fish in olive oil and lemon juice. Add salt and black pepper. Take a baking dish and bake fish for 6 minutes.

Lemon Chicken

Ingredients

• 2 breasts of chicken
• 2 teaspoons ginger-garlic paste
• One teaspoon Tomato puree
• One teaspoon lemon juice
• One tablespoon olive oil
• Salt and black pepper to taste

Method
Marinate chicken breasts in all the above ingredients. Take a baking dish and bake chicken for 10-15 minutes. Garnish with coriander leaves.

The above recipes have low caloric value and are high in proteins. These can be accompanied with multi-grain or wheat bread and can be included as the main course of a meal. Caution should be taken not to be on extended duration of low-carb -diet as carbohydrates give energy. If people are in jobs that require high physical activity it is essential to have carbohydrates included in their meals. People with low physical activity can be on extended duration of low-carb diets.

Baked Fish With Mushrooms And Pepper

A great oven-baked fish and veggie dish that you will surely love. I admit, this recipe takes a bit more than 30 minutes (approximately 45-50) but if you have this bit of more time it’s definitely worth the extra 20 minutes. After all, it will take less than half an hour to get it on the way, the rest of the time it can happily cook alone in the oven.

Ingredients

• 4 large fish filets
• salt, cayenne pepper
• 1 onion, sliced
• 2 green peppers, cut into bite-size pieces
• 250 g mushrooms, sliced
• 50 g low-fat cheese, grated

Steps

1. Preheat the oven on 200°C.
2. Season the fish filets with salt and cayenne pepper and place them into a slightly greased ovenproof dish (if you have one of these great non-stick coated ones that don’t need greasing, even better).
3. Spread the onions, pepper and mushrooms over the fish filets and sprinkle with cheese.
4. Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes, then open it up and grill it for 5 minutes until the cheese is slightly brown.
5. Serve with rice.

Serves 4.
