Friday Night Fish The Low Carb Way : With Fizz Optional !

If you love fish and chips, especially on a Friday night. There's no reason why you should miss out just because you have diabetes.......so says fellow blogger Lisa on her Diabetic Alien Blog. I've used many of her words and pictures for this lovely low carb meal.

As always, low carbing usually just means using alternative ingredients. So, instead of potatoes, use celeriac/celery root.

How to prepare - peel the skin with a knife (a peeler will peel it too thin) and cut off all the gnarly bits. Slice into chips and microwave for 4 minutes until just tender.

Spread the chips on baking paper and smear with butter or olive oil. Sprinkle with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika and salt. Bake until golden, then flip each chip over and sprinkle again and bake.

The fish Lisa used was barramundi *, which she coated in coconut flour and shallow fried. To serve - sprinkle with lemon pepper, a lemon wedge and tartare sauce. Celeriac contains only 3 grams of carbs per 100 grams. And no horrible stodgy feeling in the stomach after eating either.

What a fantastic recipe idea, thanks Lisa. The Diabetic Alien Blog is here  

* Barramundi is similar to premium fish like red snapper, striped bass, and Dover sole. 

And for some fizz you could always add a glass of sparkling Pellegrino 




Or if you'd prefer  ... how about this?
