Vegan & Keto appetizer or side?

(Michelle) #1

I have to go to a party next weekend and bring a vegan dish. I also want it to be Keto. Any ideas? I did a quick search and everything has bread or sugar. Yuck.

I feel like I’m trying to find a unicorn :unicorn: flying with a pig :pig:.

There’s a chick that has a whole website dedicated to vegan keto. I can’t remember her whole name but google LeAnn vegan keto.

Unicorn flying with a pig…ha! I just got Leanne’s book and have been obsessively reading it. I’ll see if I can find the mythical app you are looking for. Most things I’ve seen so far are not vegan.

Excellent, thank you so much. I follow Leanne, she used to be vegan, but now she’s Keto without dairy. Most of her stuff does have meat in it now.

I found several: no-beans hummus made with cauliflower, MCT oil guac, roasted Cajun broccoli, nori rolls with almond dipping sauce. I can send you a pic of the recipe if you are interested in any of those. Btw, I am loving this book! I bet she probably has more on her website healthful pursuit.

I was wondering if I should buy that book. Have you made anything yet?

If you could send me hummus recipe, that would be great!! Many thanks :pray:.

I have listened to her podcast and am subscribed to healthful pursuit (I get emails/videos), always thought about purchasing one of her fat fueled programs, but never pulled the trigger. This book has SO much info, flexible programs for keto with menu plans, and the recipes…oh my. I’m fasting (day 6) so it’s almost painful to read these recipes because they look amazingly delicious! I really may give the no dairy thing a go when I start eating again.

Thanks again!! I might buy that too!

Make baba ganoush - roasted aubergines with tahini, garlic, lemon juice and olive oil. It’s delicious, it’s vegan and it’s hooching with olive oil.

I don’t know what hooching is but I like you.

For a side, you can make a “vegetable + fat” dish. For example, finely sliced cabbage (coleslaw), with a vinaigrette (made with olive oil, apple cider vinegar, salt and pepper). Let the cabbage sit in its vinaigrette to temper the “bite” of the strong cabbage taste. You can do the same with Brussels sprouts, broccoli, cauliflower, etc. Any of these finely sliced will work great.

For appetizer, you can prepare a nice nut butter dip (made from whatever you prefer like peanut, almond, pecan, etc) and have a platter of veggie crudites for dipping. You can make the dip by creaming the nuts in a food processor, add then add hot sauce, crushed garlic, finely chopped fresh parsley and fresh lime juice. Add olive oil and/or water to thin it out to desired consistency…use stick blender to get it well emulsified. Salt and pepper to taste.

You can also make an appetizer by using Belgian endive leaves to hold a filling made from artichoke hearts and walnuts. Basically, grind artichoke hearts and walnuts in food processor to make a thick paste. Add to your liking some fresh lemon juice, olive oil, salt and pepper. You can also add a pinch of fresh herbs if you like, such as fresh thyme or fresh rosemary. Drop one teaspoon of this paste into each leaf. Top with finely chopped chives or green onion, or finely diced red pepper.

Hi @Fiorella. I ended up making artichoke & walnut in endive. Went over well. Thank you for the suggestion!!
