Meal # 12 Grain-Free Herbed Focaccia Bread Number of servings 2 Approximate cooking time: 20 minutes Calories 109, Fat 7g Carbohydrates 4g, Protein 6g 2 large egg(s) 1 /8 cup(s) coconut cream, thick part of canned coconut milk-no liquid (very important) 3 tablespoon(s) coconut flour 1 /4 teaspoon(s) sea salt 1 /4 teaspoon(s) baking soda 1 tablespoon(s) olive oil, for brushing toppings of choice for focaccia, such as chopped herbs, cherry tomatoes, onions, coarse salt, etc.
If the cream isn't at the top of the can of coconut milk, put the can in the fridge and it will rise to the top in about 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 375 F. Crack the eggs into a medium mixing bowl and add the coconut cream. Beat with a whisk until very smooth and well blended. In a smaller bowl, combine the coconut flour, baking soda and salt in a small bowl and mix gently. Add this to the egg mixture and whisk until smooth. Let stand for 10 minutes to thicken up do not skip this step. Once the batter is thickened, heat a 9-10 inch cast iron skillet over medium heat. When hot, add the oil and then add the batter. Quickly spread the batter in the pan, getting it as even as you can. Once it s even, allow to cook for 30 more seconds and turn off the heat. Add your desired toppings, and transfer to the oven. Let bake for 12-15 minutes, until top is browned and no longer shiny. Allow to cool before slicing and serving. Other Notes for Baking: For the coconut cream, make sure that you only use the thick part of the coconut milk and whisk the eggs and coconut cream well. Instead of drizzling the oil over the top, I heated the oil in a cast iron skillet and then spread the batter in the hot oil to give it a more focaccia like crust. This also kept it from sticking to the pan. It worked nicely in a 10-inch cast iron skillet; anything larger than that probably won t work. Overall, it had a bread like texture, but being that it s main ingredient is eggs, it does taste a bit eggy. The extra coconut flour helps offset that a bit, I think. For a grain free bread, it s pretty good, and it s really good if you eat it with something saucy, which makes you feel more like you re eating bread than a quiche.
Meal # 16 Cumin Scented Halibut with Balsamic Roasted Vegetables Number of servings 2 Approximate cooking time: 45 minutes Calories 464, Fat 19.8g Carbohydrates 22.8g, Protein 49.1g 1 medium sweet potato(es), peeled and cubed 1 medium bell pepper(s), red, cut into large dice 1 medium bell pepper(s), yellow, cut into large dice 1 tablespoon(s) olive oil 1 teaspoon(s) balsamic vinegar 2 cup(s) spinach, baby 2 halibut filet(s) (6-8 oz), at room temperature 1 teaspoon(s) cumin 1 tablespoon(s) olive oil Preheat oven to 400 F. Put the the sweet potatoes and peppers in a freezer bag with the oil and vinegar. Season with salt and pepper and shake until well combined. Lay on a parchment lined sheet pan and roast for 25-30 minutes, until tender and lightly charred. After the vegetables have been in the oven for 15-20 minutes, heat a (preferably) cast iron skillet to medium heat. Season the fish with the cumin and salt and pepper. When the skillet is hot, add the olive oil. Add the fish filets to the pan, and allow to cook until well browned and they lift easily from the pan. If they resist at all, leave it for another minute. Flip and finish cooking on the other side, until both sides are browned and the fish is cooked through. When the vegetables are finished cooking, remove the pan from the oven and immediately add the spinach to the hot pan. Stir with a spatula until the spinach is hot and slightly wilted. Serve the fish on top of the vegetables. Season with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, if desired.
