I eat anything and everything Been doing curries but i can only eat smidgens of rice and have not tried the rice-substitutes yet. >>> need to liven up my repertoire. >>> any ideas for meals that have an element of carbs in but are lowish [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > Been doing curries but i can only eat smidgens of rice and have not tried > the rice-substitutes yet. I eat mine with a papadom if dry (5g CHO) or some mashed cauli if wet. lentil and spinach dahl is a good bet too. Pickles are an essential complement, for the vinegar effect plus taste : ) Chicken pieces simmered in stock with olives and lemons, Moroccan style, are yum. Turkey breast slices sprinkled with Thai 5-spice mix and fried, cut into strips and wrapped in a low-carb tortilla with salad. A zillion recipes here: http://www.carb-lite.au.com/index.html Nicky.

I found that a small portion of naan bread with evening meal curries was much kinder on the post-prandial BGs than rice. I can handle about a half of the standard naan serve. Maybe it's the oil that seems to be in most forms of naan. For other veges with roasts etc, my "starchy" carbs are limited to a very small (golf-ball size) baked spud with a roast, or equivalent in other forms, with a generous dollop of butter melted in, which seems to help. For some reason I can handle sweet potato better than white potato. My favourite roast vege is baked pumpkin which seems to have zero effect on my BGs, so I have pumpkin with the majority of my evening meals. That's our version of pumpkin, not the US hallowe'en thing. Unlike most, carrots don't affect me (except in juice form), nor do tomatoes or onions in moderation. I fill the plate for bulk with things like cauli, broccoli, cabbage (steamed, coleslaw, sauerkraut etc), capsicum, onions etc. In my home-made light thai-style curries for fish, prawns or similar I include celery, broccoli, cauli, capsicum, onions etc. On starchier carbs, sometimes I'll add just a smidgin of sweet corn kernels or even kidney beans to the mix.

Sue > need to liven up my repertoire. > any ideas for meals that have an element of carbs in but are lowish spike. > especially chicken and fish dishes Do you like pesto? There's a good recipe for Pecan Crusted Chicken in Rozanne Gold's book, Low Carb 1-2-3. It is really quick and easy to prepare. We love it! Em > need to liven up my repertoire. > any ideas for meals that have an element of carbs in but are lowish spike. > especially chicken and fish dishes Hi Pete How much cooking do you like to do? I like to make a hearty soup - which then does for 2 days. Could give you some recipes for this if you like. Easy fish recipe: chop herbs (parsley, thyme and/or tarragon), grate rind of lemon, chop clove garlic (plus finely chopped red chilli - optional) and mix. Butter baking dish, place in any white fish fillet - cover with herb and lemon mixture, dot with butter, cut a tomato in half and put in dish cut side down and bake in hot oven for about 10/15 mins. Yolande . > need to liven up my repertoire. > any ideas for meals that have an element of carbs in but are lowish spike. > especially chicken and fish dishes Take a chicken breast and cut a slash into it forming a pocket. Stick a cube of blue cheese into it and wrap with 2 slices parma ham (I use cheap black forest ham from LIDL @ 1.49 per pack which has about 17 slices in it - it's stronger but we prefer it). Bake for approx 25 mins at gas 5. Eat with lots of fresh veggies. Salmon - 1 salmon fillet per person, top with 3 teaspoons pesto (the aubergine one is yummy), top with a couple of thin slices of goat's cheese or lots of sliced fresh parmesan. Bake for 15 - 20 mins. King Prawns (I use frozen). 2 tbs sesame oil into a wok, sliced spring onions, saute gently, add finely chopped ginger and garlic, chopped chillies and a good measure of dry sherry, the sauce should thicken up. If it doesn't, add a drop more oil. A shake of sesame seeds and then add the prawns and toss lightly just enough to heat through. Serve with lots of stir fried veggies such as Pak Choi, Water chestnuts (tinned), baby corn, courgette, mushrooms, asparagus etc etc. Chicken and Chorizo.... I usually make enough for 6 and freeze off two lots for another day which requires 4 chicken breasts and whole Chorizo. Cut chicken into cubes, cube Chorizo, fry gently in some olive oil, add a chopped onion and when soft and the chicken is browned add 1 tin chopped tomatoes, chopped garlic, chopped chillies if you feel like spicing it up, a glass of red wine and a tbs tomato puree. Simmer gently with a lid on for about 20 minutes or so and if it's too runny take the lid off for 10 minutes to reduce down. If it's too dry add some chicken stock. Serve with green veggies like broccoli, beans etc. I could go on..... and on.... but hubby is about to cut the electrics so I better send and prepare to turn the machine off!

If you're making the chicken and chorizo for 6 you will need 2 cans of tomatoes and 2 glasses red wine and probably some chicken stock too! Panicked because of imminent electric cut... and he did it before I closed down and crashed me anyway!
