A ridiculous diet
Leek and Mushroom Gratin - only 9.75g carbs per person
Servings 2 servings
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp olive oil 0g carbs
- 200 g leek thinly sliced - 13.6g carbs (internet resources show very different carb counts for leeks. However, I took my carb count directly from the Atkins phase 1 page).
- 100 g mushrooms thinly sliced 3.6g carbs
- 1 clove garlic chopped 0.9g carbs
- 2 tbsp double cream - you can have a little cream on Atkins phase 1 - supposedly just for beverages - ....so I may have taken advantage
- 60 g cheddar grated 0.8g carbs
- a pinch of black pepper
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley chopped 0.1g carbs
Instructions
- Heat the oil in a medium frying pan and add in the leeks and mushrooms. Fry on a medium heat for 5 minutes until the leek has wilted and the mushrooms have softened. Add in the garlic and cream and stir. Cook for 1 minute. Add in half the cheese and stir.
- Transfer the gratin to a heat-proof dish and sprinkle with the remaining cheese and the black pepper. Grill until the cheese melts and starts to go golden.
- Carefully remove from the grill, sprinkle with the parsley and serve.
