Pork Rind Crusted Christmas Ham

December 15, 2024 By elviira 4 Comments

Pork Rind Crusted Christmas Ham | Low-Carb, So Simple
Ah, the holidays! A time for joy, laughter, and the inevitable food coma that follows a hearty Christmas feast. If you’re anything like me, the star of your festive table is none other than the gloriously succulent (Finnish) Christmas ham. But hold onto your Santa hats, folks—this isn’t your grandma’s ham recipe. Nope, I’ve taken this traditional Finnish favorite and given it a carnivore twist that’ll have you singing “Jingle Bells” all the way to the dinner table. 

You see, while the classic recipe calls for breadcrumbs and keto enthusiasts might opt for almond flour, I’ve discovered the ultimate fiber-free, carnivore-approved alternative: crushed pork rinds. Yes, you read that right. Pork on pork action, baby! This ingenious swap not only keeps things keto-friendly but also adds an irresistible crunch that will leave your taste buds caroling with joy.

Happy feasting, and may your holidays be as crispy and savory as your new favorite ham recipe!

Carnivore Fish Roe Mousse

December 8, 2024 By elviira 4 Comments

Carnivore Fish Roe Mousse on Meat Disc | Low-Carb, So Simple
Well, hello, fellow food adventurers! If you’ve ever wondered how to combine your love for all things carnivorous with the elegance of Finnish cuisine, you’re in for a treat. In this post, we’re diving into the deliciously decadent world of Carnivore Fish Roe Mousse—a dish that’s as Finnish as sauna and sisu, but with an animal-based twist. 

In Finland, we take our festive foods very seriously. Whether it’s the cozy, candle-lit gatherings of Christmas or the patriotic fervor of Independence Day, our tables are adorned with delicacies that make your taste buds do a happy dance. And let’s be honest, who doesn’t want their taste buds to dance like nobody’s watching? 

Now, traditionally, fish roe mousse is a creamy, dreamy delight enjoyed by many Finns during these special occasions. But because I’m all about that carnivore life, I’ve transformed this classic recipe into a 100% plant-free treat. Imagine the velvety smoothness of full-fat cream cheese and sour cream, punctuated by the briny burst of roe, all seasoned to perfection with unrefined sea salt. It’s like a Nordic symphony in your mouth!

And for those of you who want to keep things a bit more traditional, stay tuned for the Tips for Variations section, where I’ll share tweaks to turn your carnivore roe mousse into a more classic, keto-friendly Finnish delicacy. Because whether you’re a carnivore or a traditionalist, there’s always room for some Finnish flair on your holiday table!

Warm Carnivore Egg Sauce — Finnish Style

July 28, 2024 By elviira 4 Comments

Warm Egg Sauce Finnish Style | Low-Carb, So Simple
Welcome to the culinary wonderland where traditional Finnish recipes get a carnivorous twist! If you’ve ever found yourself lost in the labyrinth of Nordic cuisine, you might have stumbled upon the classic Finnish egg sauce.

Traditionally, this delightful concoction calls for wheat flour and milk, but let’s be honest, who needs those carb-loaded imposters when you can have a rich, creamy, and utterly decadent version that’s 100% carnivore-approved?

Introducing my Warm Carnivore Egg Sauce — Finnish Style! This isn’t just any egg sauce; it’s a game-changer. By swapping out milk for heavy cream and giving flour the boot, we’ve created a sauce so thick and luscious that it practically defies gravity.

The ingenious part? The cream is cooked down until it’s thickened to perfection, so you won’t need any pesky thickeners. It’s pure, delicious goodness, ready to elevate your meat or fish to new heights. So, grab your forks and get ready to dive into creamy goodness that would make even the most stoic Finn crack a smile!

Quick Lipeäkala Lutefisk Without Lye | Low-Carb, So Simple
If you’ve ever heard of a dish called lutefisk — which we Finns refer to as “lipeäkala” — you’ve probably wondered what it tastes like. And if you’ve looked up lutefisk recipes online, you might be astonished to find that they actually use lye, a super toxic substance!

No need to worry because now you can taste what authentic lutefisk is like without having to soak the fish in lye and water for days on end. Thanks to this ingenious recipe I’ve developed, you can enjoy the true flavor of lutefisk in just half an hour!

Probably, the Nordic lutefisk purists hate me for this recipe, but I couldn’t care less. Quite the opposite: I am proud to have created this innovative recipe, something the hidebound fanatics could never have managed; they just can’t think outside the box.

So, let’s step into the fascinating world of lutefisk!
