About this category

Medium recipes are the backbone of a normal evening when you have a bit of breathing room. Most of them involve two or three components: a protein, a low-carb base and a sauce. Chicken tikka masala with cauliflower rice, cod filet in lemon caper butter with green beans and lamb bolognese on zucchini noodles all follow this pattern, and each step stays manageable.

This category is also where many keto swaps happen. Cauliflower stands in for pasta or rice, zucchini becomes noodles, and almond flour replaces wheat in cookies and cakes like the lemon cake with glaze. These substitutes behave differently from the originals. Cauliflower releases water, so drain or dry it well, and almond flour browns faster, so watch the oven in the final minutes.

If you want to shorten the active time, split the work. Make the sauce or the cauliflower rice in advance, keep it in the fridge, and finish the dish later in one pan. Many of these recipes reheat well, which makes them a good choice for cooking a double batch and taking the rest to work the next day.
