    I like a can of good chunk tuna in olive oil, mixed with Pataks Hot Lime Pickle and a dab of mayo scooped up with cucumber coins.
    Savoury and awesome. (I used to eat this on GF toast for breakfast, but now too many carbs)

    This seriously just made my mouth water HAHA I need to go shopping

    I could eat that anytime of the day. Love Pataks, love mayo, love tuna in oil.

    Okay!!!

    This recipe is so simple, but you need ingredients which you may not be able to commonly find. I bought what I needed, online, and the result is certainly worth it - I've made it three times now, and it's gone down a treat with my nearest and dearest! Last time I made some I doubled up, and gave some jars away for Christmas - they went down well, too!

    Ok - Ingredients:

    8 medium-sized, un-waxed firm lemons.
    2oz coarse sea salt
    (the 'proper' recipe calls for limes, but @my4andme333 is allergic to them. However, for those who aren't I recommend using limes. The tart flavour is subtly different....)

    SPICES:
    1 tablespoon (15 grammes) ground mustard seed
    1tbsp ground fenugreek
    hot chilli powder - from 1 - 2 tbsps, depending on how hot you want it. I always add 1 and a half...
    half a teaspoon of turmeric powder

    half a teaspoonful of asafoetida (as pure as you can get it, not mixed with any other 'carrier' spice)
    200ml mustard oil.

    I had to get these last 2 ingredients online, but well worth it!

    METHOD.
    Cut the lemons into 4 'boats' lengthways, then each 'boat into 3.
    Place into a good pyrex or non-reactive bowl, and cover with the salt.
    Cover with clingfilm (I think it's called 'saran-wrap' in the USA!) and secure with a plastic band.
    Shake well to toss it thoroughly together, then leave for at least 2 weeks in an out-of-the-way place, but not cold.

    In 2 weeks, the lemons will look browned and softened, almost 'cooked'.

    Add the ground mustard seed powder, fenugreek, chilli and turmeric. Stir well, leave to one side.

    Now comes the 'stinky' bit. Open your windows, and ventilate the place, because asafoetida is pretty strong stuff, but combined with the oil, is amazing and delicious, and just boosts flavours wonderfully!

    Place the oil in a good stainless steel pan, and add the asafoetida.
    Stir continually, until you bring it up to smoking point.
    Remove from the heat, and immediately pour it carefully, over the lemon mixture.
    Be careful, it will spit, so do it gently and gradually.
    Make sure all the asafoetida goes in with the oil....

    Carefully stir really well to combine everything, and put into clean jars immediately. Close, label and leave for at least a week.
    If you can resist temptation for that long.

    Any questions, please feel free to ask!

    Enjoy!!

    Those of us who are gluten free must be VERY careful about the asafoetida. I had to chuck mine out as the powder was mixed with wheat starch. The lemons are yummy but if you aren't allergic to the limes, I personally prefer their flavour.

    I love salt in the morning. I salt the living crap out of my plain Greek yogurt and it's divine. I also love ham roll ups. I'll put cream cheese in a slice of deli ham and roll it around a pickle. I eat those while driving to work sometimes. Coffee and Heavy whipping cream works for me too. I've also mixed protein powders into coffee and I like that. Can be difficult to get it to blend properly based on the powder. Gagged on chunky coffee once. barf.

    Yes, that's why I recommended looking carefully at the asafoetida you buy, because although the pure one is best, it's also quite hard to find..... I purchased 50g on Amazon prime, which is actually quite expensive, but it's guaranteed pure. The smell alone may be enough to put anyone off... but once incorporated into a dish, it really does make a difference. It's also a great aid to a healthy digestive tract, and is, I quote, "antispasmodic, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and has anti-flatulent properties that help alleviate problems like indigestion, upset stomach, intestinal gas, flatulence and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)."

    My H has a bit of a 'precious' digestion, but if he eats a curry with this stuff added, he never experiences any, shall we say, 'after-effects'.....

    I make my own Keto cereal, I use Bob's Red Mill coconut flakes unsweetened and sliced almonds, I toast both separately in the oven (250 degrees until lightly toasted pay attention they can go quickly from perfect to burnt) 1/2 cup of coconut and 2 tbs of almonds with 1/2 cup coconut or almond milk unsweetened, hit's the spot and tastes just like cereal, to me and my kids! They love it so bonus! :) I cut off the fat calorie etc part of the pic but 11g total carbs 4 net carbs ( or 5 I'm still not sure if you count the gram of fiber from the coconut/almond milk? So I always count it as 5g carbs) 313 calories 7g protein 11g fat and 85g sodium You can also add in some dark chocolate chunks I haven't tried it that way yet but it sounds good :)

    This sounds YUMO!
