No special oven required for this simple, Indian-inspired chicken dish. Skip the naan and bulk it up with extra grilled vegetables to make it into a low-carb meal.
Lamb shoulder is a more affordable way to serve a large group a special meal; just cook a little longer than you would loin chops, and this low-carb, Moroccan-inspired dish will be tender and delicious.
Use your favorite fresh herbs--we like parsley, basil, chives, and thyme--and olive tapenade to punch up this grilled steak. Cut into pinwheels for an impressive presentation.

Italian Chicken Sausage and Artichoke Soup
Warm up on a chilly day with this super-easy, hearty Italian stew. It's ready in just 40 minutes, making it a great choice for a low-carb weeknight meal.
Santa Fe restaurant Rancho de Chimayó serves this dish with long-simmered posole corn, stewed pinto beans, and a bit of shredded lettuce and tomato for color. Chimayó chiles can be hard to get and expensive, but more readily available New Mexico chiles, both whole and ground, can be easily swapped in. The dish can also be made in a slow-cooker.
Calamari is most commonly seen on menus in breaded-and-fried format, but squid steaks are sweet and mild, making them the perfect grilled base for salty, low-carb additions like olives and capers.
