Minutes

Normal

Ingredients

140g konjac rice
10 dates, pitted
2 large carrots
4 apricots
50g walnuts
2 sprigs of mint
2 tsp coconut oil
20g erythritol
1 squirt of lemon
Salt, pepper, curry powder, turmeric, cardamom, cinnamon

Instructions

Pre-crush the konjac rice in a blender to the desired grain size.

Add the ground konjac rice to salted boiling water until it reaches a thick liquid consistency.

Strain through a fine mesh sieve and rinse with water until only the granules remain.

Transfer the konjac couscous to a pan (at medium heat), fry with a little oil and season with curry, turmeric, salt, and pepper.

Peel the carrots, brown them with coconut oil in the pan and caramelize with some erythritol. Then add to the couscous.

Slice the apricots and dates, toast the walnut kernels, add to the couscous, and flavor with a squirt of lemon, cardamom, and cinnamon to taste. For a mild sweetness, sweeten the couscous with more erythritol if desired.

Finely chop the mint and mix into the couscous. Done!

The product arrived quickly, the quality is amazing (not the slimy wet konjac substitutes that smell fishy). Cooking time is around 12-15 min, so the rice is perfect for making risotto or paella. The pasta is also amazing with some good carbonara, pesto or bolognese! They are perfect for a keto or low-carb lifestyle!

OK this company is amazing. I purchased the konjak rice. I'm on a keto diet so thought this would be perfect for me. It was amazing ! Easy to cook and honestly the closest thing to actual rice I've tried so far. And I've tried alot of products. Egg fried rice is my favourite dish because frying the konjak rice makes it that bit more crispier and rice like. Anyway, delivery was fast, Communication too. The only thing I would say is that they should provide the booklet that is also delivered, in English as well as German.. for those who don't speak German. But it was easy to cook so it didn't make a difference THANK YOU SHILEO, I've ordered another set. :)

Excellent support. Fast delivery. Low carb. Products are high quality (dried instead of preserved in liquid), very delicious and have the perfect texture when prepared as stated. Taste / texture can be compared with glass noodles (in my opinion). Thumbs up and 5+ stars :-) Keep going!
