Cabbage salad, tasty and healthy

This is a great fresh and summery salad to serve with bolognese instead of pasta, or with a really fatty steak (or why not the ribs at the next BBQ). The coriander and lime/cider dressing bring a lovely freshness to the crunchy cabbage.

Since LCHF is all about staying away from carbs and sugars, it is quite tricky to satisfy a dessert craving... Especially if you have a sweet tooth! Found this recipe on the brilliant low carb web site "kolhydrater.ifokus.se" (Swedish) that I intend to try tonight.

Chicken saltimbocca with mushroom and tomato sauce

Saltimbocca (which literally means "jump in mouth") has never been as tasty as with this sauce. Wrapping the chicken fillets in sheets of parma ham not only adds a lovely saltiness to the flavour of the chicken, it also seals in all the juices making the chicken really tender and succulent.

Plateful of saltimbocca, ready to jump in mouth!

If you feel there is a lot of butter used in this dish, you are right. I have recently started following a diet called "LCHF" - Low Carb High Fat - so from here on, beware. Cutting out on the carbs and replacing them with fat has a lot of health benefits, of which perhaps the most paradoxical one is that you get rid of your overweight in a natural way. Fat and cholesterol are good for you. Read up on it, its fascinating.
