great breakfast dish...traditionally using corned beef (you still can if you don't have a sodium prob) and left over roasted potatoes
guess what i used sweet potatoes


beef hash

1 cup left over roasted beef, diced
1/4 cup onion, diced
1/4 cup mixed peppers, diced
1/4 cup celery, diced
1 cup left over roasted sweet potato, diced
1 sprig rosemary
1 tablespoon olive oil
salt and pepper to taste

2 tablespoon olive oil



combine all and cook over medium heat in a cast iron or non stick pan with the 2 tablespoons of olive oil

serve with poached or fried eggs and cheddar, gruyere or parmesan cheese

the hash recipe can be done with chicken turkey ham essentially any firm meat

 

[obiwan9962]

did this today substituting grilled chicken, spinach, artichoke hearts and swiss cheese instead

frittata

basically a baked omelette

the fillings can change but this is my fav:

2 tablespoon unsalted butter
6 eggs
2 ounces smoked salmon
2 ounces baby shrimp, thawed and drained
2 ounces crabmeat, drained
2 tablespoon chives, chopped
2 tablespoon mascarpone (or cream cheese)
2 tablespoon sour cream
salt and pepper to taste

melt the butter in a non stick pan over medium heat
whip eggs til well blended
pour into non stick pan
and with a rubber spatula move the egg around abit to bring the cooked surface into the middle (makes it cook faster)
add seafood , chives and mascarpone
season with salt and pepper
stir again once to incorporate
stick in a 350 F oven for 12-15 minutes til bake through
top with sour cream before serving

shrimp pinwheels

1 lo carb tortilla
3 tablespoons cream cheese
1 tablespoon mayonnaise
4 ounces small shrimp
4 sundried tomato pieces, softened in warm water and chopped
1 teaspoon cilantro leaves, chopped
1 teaspoon horseradish, prepared or fresh grated
couple leaves romaine lettuce

combine mayo and cream cheese in food processor
add shrimp, sundried tomatoes, horseradish and cilantro and pulse a few times till combined
spread on tortilla all the way to the edges
place romaine leaves on one edge of tortilla and then roll up

looks great especially with romaine sticking out of the ends
tastes even better

roasted turkey wrap

1 lo carb tortilla
3 tablespoons cream cheese
1 tablespoon mayonnaise
4 ounces left over roasted turkey (or chicken, pork, beef)
shaved red onions (however much you'd like)
chopped tomatoes (however much you'd like)
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon horseradish, prepared or fresh grated
couple leaves romaine lettuce

combine mayo, Dijon, horseradish and cream cheese in food processor
spread on tortilla all the way to the edges
place romaine leaves on one edge of tortilla top with meat, onions and tomatoes and then roll up

can make this into a pinwheel if you thinly slice the meats and tomatoes and spread em over the tortilla

Pinwheels are awesome!! They also are a great tidbit to bring with you to a party if you need to bring a dish......

Another yummy option is to follow Obi's recipe but leave off the veggies & meats but add cheese.....spread the cream cheese mixture on the tortilla, sprinkle with cheese & chopped canned chilis.....roll up, slice & dip in salsa....Mmmmmmmmmm....Good party food....
