Keto recipes
Purpose of a recipe collection? Make a meal plan (random selection is fine), calculate a shopping list from that, then stop making decisions about what to cook or stock up on.
To adapt to sales and dumpster-finds, recipes should be as general as possible. The shopping list should also be interpreted loosely: when seeing a sale on cheddar, you can substitute out brie for more cheddar.

- 160 g bacon or pancetta, diced
- 2 egg yolks
- 2 egg whites

TODO Classic bacon and eggs
1 serving:
- 140 g bacon
- 2-3 eggs
- tomatoes (optional)
- thyme (optional)
Sliced liver
2 servings:
- 1 fist-size chunk of liver
- 2 onions
- butter
This one requires prep. Assuming your liver is not already frozen, cut it in fist-sized pieces and freeze for 2-3 hours to give them solidity. Take them out and cut in as thin slices as you can manage, then return to freezer. Their slices will get stuck to each other, it's okay since you'll thaw a whole fist at once.
When it's time to cook, thaw the slices and fry them in a pan with onion.
TODO Liver pate
approximatively… 4 servings
- 400 g liver
- 300 g onion
- 300 g cabbage (optional) (add 1 egg)
- 3 eggs
- 150 g butter or 300 g cream (in which case add 2 eggs)
- herbs (pref. marjoram)
- black pepper
- 1 tsp salt, add 3/4 tsp if you used cream, add 3/4 tsp if you added cabbage
Run through a blender and pour result into a baking pan, bake like a cake. Have patience while baking, let the crust turn very dark. Cut and eat the same way you would a chocolate cake. If you have to blend in batches, make sure all batches have eggs, it makes the process easy.
TODO Herring snack
2 servings:
- 300 g frozen herring
This one requires prep. You must buy frozen herring, thaw it just enough to separate the fillets, and re-freeze them in plastic wrap. This makes it easy to retrieve just one fillet and fry it for a quick snack. In addition, keep a tiny frying pan specifically for this purpose so you don't have to wash it quite so thoroughly of the fish smell.
Further, it's a good idea to make a daily habit for one week: one herring fillet before eating anything else (perhaps even before your morning coffee). If you never seem to get around to eating fish, you must teach your subconscious that it's quick, easy, trivial, and delicious.
TODO Kelp lasagna
- Kelp sheets
- Ground beef
- Crushed tomatoes
- Cheese
- Sour cream, whipping cream or cream cheese
Rehydrate kelp sheets for a few hours. Boil them in lightly salted water for 10 minutes.
Make ground beef sauce.
Finally, build a lasagna.
