Day 39. Little Fishy Dishy

HiHi! I just want to apologize to all you readers out there for my very brief posts. Just to summarize I have a lot of work and pressure on at the moment, hence my lack of material. Actually when I have some more time, I have a little gift for all you low-carbers to share, but you will just have to wait and see what it is ;o)

Something I ate earlier though is worth a mention. I decided to mimic fish and chips for dinner but in a low carb fashion, and I have to admit I definitely pulled it off in style. My food substitute for potato is celeriac instead, secondly I only had salmon in my fridge, so I had salmon instead of cod too. I am so glad I made this meal, I urge anyone to try it for themselves. Its pretty quick and simple to make, here is a run down of how I did it :oP

  • Peel celeriac, and chop into chunky fries (Used Desired Portion to Your Diet).
  • Boil some water in the Kettle (or Pan if you don’t have a kettle).
  • Then put celeriac fries into the boiling pan of water.
  • Cook on medium heat for 7 minutes or so, or until slightly tender.
  • Pre-heat Oven, nice and hot I used 230 degrees.
  • Drain water from pan and place celeriac chips onto a baking tray.
  • Drizzle plenty of Olive Oil over the Fries so that they are bathing in the tray.
  • Cook for about 20 minutes or until brown and crisp.
  • Whilst cooking Celeriac Fries, Oven Grill or George Forman Grill the Salmon.
  • And Voila done a tasty very filling meal.

You could probably cook celeriac fries in a deep fat fryer without boiling them, only problem is though, I don’t have a deep fat fryer, but if anyone does try this let me know, I would be very greatful to hear ;o) Perhaps post a comment below :oD
