About this category

The idea behind this category is simple: the most time-consuming or flavor-defining part of the recipe can be made in advance. Lamb skewers with tzatziki, pumpkin seed pesto with zoodles and the marinated Handkase recipes, such as the version with a miso-ginger marinade or the one with tahini-lemon sauce, all benefit from a component that rests in the fridge. Marinades even improve with time as the flavors soak in.

Homemade sauces are a big help on keto because store-bought versions often contain sugar, starch or thickeners. Making your own gives you control over net carbs and lets you use quality fats like olive oil, butter or tahini. A sugar-free cocktail sauce, for instance, takes minutes and replaces a product that is usually full of sugar.

Store sauces and dips in clean, sealed jars and keep dairy-based ones well chilled. Pesto stays greener if you cover the surface with a thin layer of oil. Fresh herbs fade quickly, so add the most delicate ones shortly before serving. Prepare the base on the weekend, and on busy days you only need to cook the protein or vegetables and spoon the sauce on top.
