Mediterranean Savoy Cabbage Rolls

Mediterranean Savoy Cabbage Rolls

Savoy cabbage is not something that I’ve cooked much in the past, not because I don’t like it, mostly because it’s not been top of my mind. Since I’m trying to leave out carbs in our day-to-day food, I’ve been looking for ingredients to substitute in my meals for a healthier living. That’s when savoy cabbage came back to my mind, and I looked around for different ways of cooking it. I found interesting recipes that filled and rolled the cabbage, but often with rice or similar. The following recipe is my carb-free modification. I served it to my friends and they liked it very much. My husband also liked it, but in his opinion, a bit more of the spices could have been added. Feel free to add more of the spices or substituted them with different flavors. I think you can go very creative with this recipe.

Scallops with Vegetable Spaghetti on Saffron Sauce

Scallops with Vegetable Spaghetti on Saffron Sauce

My husband is a huge scallop fan. He eats scallops any time they’re on the menu in a restaurant. In Luxembourg, we’re fortunate to get sashimi-grade scallops at our local supermarket, which allows me to experiment with different kinds of recipes. Here I combine the fresh ocean flavor of the scallop with the exquisite flavor of saffron. This can be a starter or a main dish, and the below ingredients make starters for four. For a main dish, you can double the scallops and the vegetable spaghetti. The amount of sauce should be enough.

Zucchini Pancakes

Zucchini Pancakes

This is a very nice breakfast recipe if you try to reduce carbs in your daily food plan, but like to eat savory food in the morning. We like to top the pancakes with cream cheese and salmon or sliced chicken, cheese and egg, but feel free to try out other toppings! I usually serve a side salad with them.
