Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 50 grams Psyllium husk powder
- 250 milliliters Hot water
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
Instructions
1. Begin by bringing 250 milliliters of water to a rolling boil in a saucepan.
2. Once boiling, remove the saucepan from the heat source and gradually add the psyllium husk powder while stirring continuously with a wooden spoon to prevent clumping.
3. Add the salt and continue to stir until the mixture starts to thicken. It should reach a consistency similar to traditional eba within 2-3 minutes.
4. Upon thickening, place the saucepan back on very low heat and continue to stir for another 2 minutes to ensure it is cooked through and reaches the right texture.
5. Transfer the mixture onto a flat surface or plate.
6. Using a spatula or wooden spoon, knead the mixture lightly for about 30 seconds to achieve a smoother consistency.
7. Shape the keto eba into a mound or divide into serving portions as desired.
8. Serve immediately with your favorite keto-friendly soup or stew.
