Dinner at Home


Miso Broth
A lighter version of the standard miso soup, omitting the seaweed and tofu.

-2 quarts water
-3 or 4 TB miso
-3 scallions, chopped

Bring the water to a boil. Add the miso and whisk until fully combined. Add the scallions, remove from heat and serve.


Turkey Lettuce Cups
The meat mixture is spooned into the lettuce "cups" shown below in this messy but fun to eat dish.

-2 lbs ground turkey
-6 stalks celery, diced
-1 large onion, diced
-1 bell pepper, diced
-1 head of garlic, cloves peeled and minced
-4 tb chili garlic sauce
-1/4 cup oyster sauce
-2 tb hoisin sauce
-2 tb rice vinegar
-2 tb fish sauce
-4 tb soy sauce
-1 package mung bean sprouts
-1 bunch cilantro, leaves removed and chopped
-1/4 cup peanuts, chopped

Sautee the celery, onions, bell pepper and garlic in a bit of olive oil until soft and beginning to brown. Add the turkey and saute until almost cooked through. Add all of the sauces and simmer until cooked through and most of the liquid has evaporated. Add the bean sprouts and cook for another minutes or so. Add the peanuts and cilantro, stir thoroughly and spoon into lettuce leaves.

Baked Custard
This custard was not smooth enough, but it was ok for a low carb dessert.

-2 cups cream or milk
-2 eggs
-3 packets Splenda
-1/4 ts salt

Whisk all ingredients together and bake on 325 for an hour in a water bath. Custards are done when they are a bit jiggly in the center, but an inserted knife comes out clean.
