Cooking with Coconut Oil

If you’re following a keto diet, you probably already know that some fat is good for you. In addition to helping you get through a cold winter, fat helps you absorb certain vitamins and promotes healthy hair and skin.

In this keto loco moco burger recipe, you’ll use coconut oil to cook your burger patty, fry your eggs, make the gravy…basically to cook everything.

Coconut oil contains medium-chain fatty acids (MCFAs). This saturated fat actually has a number of benefits over many plant-based oils:

• It makes you feel full
• It’s easy to digest
• It may improve your cholesterol
• It can help you burn more fat
• It can help ward off illness

Selecting Your Cauliflower

Buying produce can be a mystery, I know. Make the wrong pick, and your keto loco moco burger can go south before you even leave the grocery store! Here are some tips on how to pick great cauliflower for this recipe:

• Choose heads that are firm and feel heavy
• Florets should be cream-colored and tightly packed
• Look out for discolored or soft spots
• Check for strong odors – if it smells bad it will probably taste bad
• If you’ve got a garden, grow your own!

3. In the same pan, add 2 more tablespoons of coconut oil and sauté the sliced onions until they turn translucent.  Add the garlic and mushrooms into the pan and increase the heat slightly to caramelize the mixture.
4. Then add the beef broth and simmer to reduce.
