Recipe - Celeriac and Cavolo Cabonara

2 January 2025

Quick, easy, tasty, need I say more...  Cavolo nero is a kale with lower oxalates so good for those on a low oxalate diet. This is also Low lectin if you use sheeps cheese ( pecorino or manchego). This also works for keto and low carb .



Serves 2

·   6 rashes quality streaky bacon

·   8-10 leaves of Cavolo nero (more if you like…)

·   4 medium free range eggs

·   Juice ½ lemon

·   40g grated pecorino, manchego or parmesan)

·   ½ a large celeriac, spiralized into noodles

·   salt and black pepper

 

1. Pre heat the bacon so its crispy and cut into pieces

2. Put celeriac noodles in boiling salted water for around 2 minutes, add cavolo nero after 2 mins – celeriac cooks for 4 mins total 

3. In a separated bowl mix eggs, grated cheese and lemon juice and good grind or two of pepper

4. Drain celeriac/ kale when cooked, then put back in empty/warm pan, mix in eggs mixture till warmed through, just a gentle heat – don’t scramble the eggs)

This is one of my current favourites. Batch make and put what you don’t need in freezer to grab and go on busier days. Great balance of protein, natural fats and veg!
