Low Carb Diets Low Carb Diets Getting Started Health and Nutrition Recipes From Laura Dolson, your Guide to Low Carb Diets Once in awhile, I hit a real breakthrough. Why would I boil almond meal? Well, something I chanced to hear on Iron Chef America in "Battle Almond" got me started on a series of experiments. In this case I started with more ingredients, like butter and cream, but then I realized that all you really need is almond meal (flour), salt, and water. Add some Parmesan cheese, and you've got a decent substitute for the Italian classic. From there, the possible variations are endless! Please try it and let me know what you think! Laura Low-Carb "Polenta" or "Grits" From this basic recipe, you can thin it out to be more like grits, thin it more to make a sauce, add more flavor with bacon, make it sweet with fruit, or anything your imagination can up with! I like it served with greens and mushrooms. All About Almond Meal/Flour What is almond meal/almond flour? Where can you get it? What can you make from it?
