Keto Lemon Tart

Yummy, quick to make and can be made in advance (then put together close to eating).
Makes 8 of my mini tart tins. Great with cream.




Keto Corn Chips


Ingredients

  • 200 g / 2 cups pre-shredded mozzarella
  • 75 g / 3/4 cup almond flourground almonds work well too
  • 2 tbsp psyllium husk or 2 tsp psyllium husk powder
  • pinch salt
  • optional: 1/4 tsp each garlic powder/onion powder/paprika
  • Instructions

    • Heat your oven to 180 Celsius / 356 Fahreheit.
    • Melt the mozzarella in the microwave (ca 90 sec-2 min). Alternatively, heat gently in a non-stick pot.
    • Add the almond flour/ground almonds and psyllium husk plus the salt and spices, if using. Stir until combined, then knead until you have a smooth dough. 
    • Separate the dough into 2 balls and roll out between 2 sheets of baking/parchment paper. Roll out as thinly as possible! The thinner, the crispier your tortilla chips will turn out. 
    • Cut into triangles (I used a pizza cutter) and spread out on a sheet of baking paper so the tortilla chips don't touch.   
    • Bake 6-8 minutes or until browned on the edges. Baking time will depend on the thickness of your tortilla chips. I baked mine in 2 rounds, plus a third round for the off-cuts

Feijoa Kasundi

We love tomato kasundi, so decided to try this feijoa version with feijoas from our tree.
It's nice, but nothing beats the tomato version.
Great with cheese and crackers.
I reduced the amount of sugar to about 1/4 of a cup and increased the amount of chilli.













Feijoa Kasundi

500g peeled and roughly chopped feijoa
3 apples, peeled cores and roughly chopped
1-2 green chillies, finely sliced
1 1/2 onions finely chopped
200ml apple cider vinegar
1/2 cup coconut sugar
3 garlic clove, finely chopped
Juice and zest of one lime or lemon
1 tsp powdered ginger
1 tsp turmeric
1 tsp Allspice
1 tsp mustard seeds, crushed
1/2 tsp salt

All in a pot, summer on low heat for 1 1/2 hours!

Preserve in sterilised jars
