Keto Salami & Egg Cups#SundayFunday

An easy keto one net carbs per serving for breakfast or brunch, can be meal prepped in minutes! Keto egg cups are a perfect egg muffin replacement. Salami and eggs - such a great combination, and these tasty cups are so much fun to make and eat! What I like about these egg cups that you can have fun with the toppings.
Just add whatever you like to spice up these muffins. They are so fun to make and then enjoy!! They're delicious, filling, festive and pretty.
Ingredients
Olive Oil spray
Salami slices
10 Eggs
Salt & Black pepper to taste
Optional Garnish
Chorizo slices
Sliced Black Olives
Fresh Basil
Pinch red pepper flakes
Pinch dried parsley
Shredded Cheddar Cheese
Method
Preheat the oven to 180°C. 
Lightly grease the bottom and sides of a muffin pan with olive oil and place them on a baking sheet.
Place one salami slice on the bottom of each ramekin, then arrange more slices around the sides, overlapping. 
This will be the salami "cup" that holds the eggs. Add a little shredded cheese at the bottom. Break an egg into each "cup." 
Season the cups with salt, pepper. 
Sprinkle a little cheese on top, garnish with olives, basil leaves.
Bake until the whites are set, about 20 minutes. Gently run a knife around the edges of each cup. Slide a spoon underneath each egg to release it. 
Serve immediately.
My Notes 
This is one of those recipes where it's best to make only as many as you think you'll be able to eat right away. However, if you end up with leftovers, you can keep them in the fridge in a sealed container for up to two days. Reheat them in the microwave or enjoy them cold. I don't recommend freezing the leftovers.

Homemade Roasted Tomato Sauce - Keto#AlphabetChallenge

A delicious and fingerlicking sauce, easy homemade sauce, that is keto, no added sugar, preservatives or peeling of tomatoes. no thickening agents, so flavorful with herbs and spices, then blended into a sauce, freezes beautifully. When tomatoes are cheap then it's perfect time to make a batch of roasted tomato sauce. Use this to make pasta, pizza for even to make a gravy.
Makes 5 Cups
Ingredients
1½ Kgs Fresh Tomatoes
1 Whole Head Garlic - peeled
2 Medium Onions roughly chopped
1 Small Carrot - chopped - optional
2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
2 Tablespoon Balsamic Vinegar
2 Tablespoons Wine - optional
2 Teaspoons Dried Oregano Leaves
2 Teaspoons Dried Basil Leaves
2 Teaspoons Dried Parsley
2 Teaspoons Dried Thyme
2 Teaspoons Dried Rosemary
½ Teaspoon Black Pepper Powder
½ Teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes optional
1 Teaspoon Pink Himalayan Salt
½ Teaspoon Keto Sweetener - I used Stevia powder
Method
Preheat oven to 200°C With both the elements on.
Cut tomatoes in pieces. Place in a large roasting pan. Scatter garlic , onion, carrot over-top. Drizzle with olive oil, wine & balsamic vinegar. Sprinkle with all the herbs, salt, peppers. Toss with a large spoon to coat.
Place in preheated oven for 60-70 minutes, stirring well half way through cooking. The mixture shouldn’t dry out completely and some of the tomato skins will char slightly. Stirring well half way through ensures that nothing gets too dark. Allow to cool.
Blend in a food processor or use immersion blender to create a sauce with your desired chunkiness level. I made a smooth sauce, strained it into a strainer. If you find the sauces tangy then add ½ teaspoon sweetener of your choice, I added stevia powder. 
Here is a delicious, fingerlicking and silky smooth sauce. You will love this sauce. It has a natural roasted color, do try it, worth the effort and time taken to make this!!
Freeze this in a zip lock bag on a baking tray. When required just break pieces you require and your ready to go!!

Quinoa Idli#AlphabetChallenge

Quinoa idli is a healthy variation for breakfast or even as a meal. This quinoa idli is very soft, you can try this as an alternate for the usual white idlis atleast once in a while.You can serve this idli with chutney, sambar or podi. These idlis taste really good and it's a great way to add protein in your diet. 
What I like about these Quinoa Idlis that ..
They are protein packed.
They are more wholesome than plain rice idlis.
They make a filling breakfast or lunch.
They are vegan and gluten-free.
They are easy to make with few ingredients.
Ingredients
¾ Cup Quinoa
1/3 Cup Idli Rice
1/3 Cup Urad Dal
1 Teaspoon Fenugreek seeds
1/3 Cup Heaped Poha
1 Teaspoon Sea Salt or to taste
Method
Wash and soak urad dal well and soak it along with the fenugreek seeds together for 4 hours, drain the water and but do not throw the water. This water will be used to grind the dal and the rice quinoa.
Wash the rice and quinoa very well and soak them together for at least 4 hours.
Before you start to grind wash and soak the Poha.
Just before grinding the dal and fenugreek seeds drain all the water and keep aside. Grind this to a smooth past using the water which we soaked the urad dal, use a little water as possible. Remove this on to large pot/vessel.
Now drain and grind the quinoa and rice, add little water as possible to grind this since (quinoa leaves water, so while grinding so add water carefully). Sprinkle water as and when it sticks to the sides, do not add to much water at a time.
Transfer the batters to the pot along with ground dal. Add salt to it. Mix well with hands to make it fluffy.
Close with lid and set aside for 8 hours or overnight for fermenting. 
Grease your idli plates with oil, take a laddle full of the batter and pour into the mould.
Steam cook for 12 to 15 minutess or until a knife or toothpick inserted inserted into the idlis comes out clean . Remove the idli plates, let it cool a little .
Dip a knife in water and run it on the sides and then the bottom, remove the idlis.
Serve hot with chutney and sambar.
