LOW Carb: T's Whiskey cream with mushrooms -for steak, chicken, shrimp, grilled...

I won a prize for this one...so give it a whirl...this fits everyone's needs except for vegetarians.... unless you grill eggplant or something...then it could fit you too!  Some of you will ask how this can be low carb if it has whiskey in it...well the alcohol leaves the dish during the cooking process (even though alcohol is a simple carb which is burned first anyway)...soooo no big deal...  this has about 6 carbs per serving and is RICH....  this is a hunger buster!

T's Whiskey cream with mushrooms- Steak, Chicken, Grilled Eggplant or Shrimp

Ingredients:

1 small shallot, finely chopped

1 clove garlic, minced

1 ounce basil

2 ounces extra sharp Colby or Cheddar cheese, shredded

1 ounce butter

2/3 cup heavy cream

2 tablespoons Jack Daniel’s whisky

1 1/4cup diced mushroom  (choose a high quality mushroom)

salt and pepper

 

(this yields about 4 portions)

Preparation:

Cook your meat as you would normally prepare them (no salt and pepper necessary on meat!)

Heat the butter in a small skillet, add shallots, garlic, and basil (don’t burn this, just sauté for about a minute) under medium heat.

Add Jack Daniel’s slowly, let simmer for about one minute, gently add crème, always stirring under medium heat.  Do not allow to boil. This should be a thick mixture, enough to allow it to rest on top of the meat without it running all over the place. (if you need, you can add a dash of arrowroot to thicken)

Remove from heat, let it set for about 5 minutes

Stir and spoon over the meat, (while meat is still in a cooking dish) add cheese, put under broiler until just melted and turning brown…

Serve immediately….

Wait for the compliments to come your way….  If they don’t then I would force them to sleep elsewhere… and do their own damn laundry….hehe…

T, I saw the word whiskey and had to look, now I have to cook it. Sounds like a great recipe..... mmmm whiskey hehe

Heya Heidi!  Hey was gonna let you know that I get out my catamaran in November and i'll be at my goal-weight by that time and will have a shot of alcohol for the first time in nearly a year and a half.  (it's good luck to launch it with a drink with the crew....hehe!  Scary....

T.

Well you wouldn't want bad luck now would you. What will be your drink of choice?  That is awesome that you will be at your goal weight. HMMM November thats when we start getting the snow here maybe I should go there. Will I have to be part of the crew? haha

Heidi

Well just think even i gotta get a lot of other things like construction done while my guests are enjoying my boat...so it's sad...  i came down here to play, but I ended up working anyway...  but I'm not griping about it...

My motto is "no happy hours, just happy days"

Seems to work for me!
