Techniques That Matter
- Crisp without flour: Dry surfaces well; use baking powder or salt-and-air-dry for pork belly skin.
- Boost fats wisely: Finish proteins with compound butters, olive oil, or aioli instead of sweet sauces.
- Acid balances richness: Add vinegar, calamansi, or lemon to cut fatty cuts and keep meals lively.
- Low-carb thickeners: Reduce sauces or use cream/cheese; avoid starch—gelatine or xanthan works in tiny amounts.
- Batch and portion: Grill extra protein and pack with leafy salads; dress at the table to keep crunch.
- Electrolyte-friendly seasoning: Salt generously; add potassium-rich greens and magnesium from nuts/seeds.
Common Mistakes & Fixes
- Dry chicken → Brine or marinate; pull at 63–65 °C and rest.
- Greasy mouthfeel → Add acid/herbs; serve with crunchy salad or pickles.
- Soggy “crackling” → Skin not dry; air-dry uncovered in the fridge before crisping.
- Hidden sugars → Swap ketchup/BBQ for garlic butter, chimichurri, or chilli oil.
- Boring side rotation → Use roasted brassicas, buttered mushrooms, or creamy slaws for variety.
Serving Ideas / Planner’s Notes
- Portions: 150–200 g protein + 2 cups low-carb veg per person; add a rich sauce for satiety.
- Buffet balance: pair a fatty pork or lamb dish with a bright salad and a simple sautéed green.
- Carb swaps: cauliflower “rice”, shirataki noodles, buttered cabbage, or spiralised courgettes.
- Sauces that sing: garlic butter, lemon aioli, herbed yoghurt (full-fat), and chilli crisp.
- Meal prep flow: cook proteins once, portion with undressed salads; add fats and toppings at serve time.
