What I cook for my vegetarian husband
I've been cooking low carb for my vegetarian husband for a few months now, these are some of the favorites:
Low carb chili,
El Burrito soy taco meatless taco filling (or any crumbled soy meat subsitute) only12 carbs for entire 12 oz package
sauteed with bell peppers, canned smoked chipotle chilis (can be very spicy, watch out)
onions, black soy beans, canned chopped tomatoes in puree (read label to find lowest carb one with no sugar) season with cumin, chili powder, oregano and what ever else you like. Top with grated cheese and green onions.
Stir Fry: with tofu cubed and browned first in oil then drained on paper towels, stir fried with red bell pepper, chinese cabbage, brocolli, cauliflower, snow peas, green onion, and seasoned with sesame oil, soy sauce, a little black bean or chili garlic sauce (Dynasty brand makes these, black bean garlic sauce only 2 carbs per tbsp) and 1 pack splenda for a little sweetness..
Gardenburger makes a flame grilled patty called "chic'n grill", only 2 carbs and 100 calories per patty (I like these too) Top with melted cheese, avocado, tomato, on some toasted low carb bread.
Lots of salad, caesar salad (I make the dressing with no anchhovie) with large shavings of parmesan cheese and a chic'n grill patty sliced on top. Cook the patties in the oven or stove top with a little oil.
Souffles, quiche, tofu scrambles.....Theres so much to make!
