Great Diet Recipe: Eggplant Ratatouille

admin — Wed, 11 Mar 2009 23:35:45 +0000

I was looking for a ratatouille recipe for a current health coaching client and couldn’t find the one I invented several years ago. That’s ok. I think this recipe from Good Housekeeping is probably better. It has only 180 calories, and I think it could actually be made even more diet-friendly by eliminating the sugar, or substituting Splenda for the real stuff.

Good Housekeeping Eggplant Ratatouille:

½ cup olive oil

1 large onion, diced

1 garlic clove, cut in half

1 medium eggplant, cut in 1 inch chunks

1 green or red pepper

3 medium zucchini, cut into 1 inch slices

½ cup water

2 tsp salt

1 tsp sugar (or sugar substitute)

2 tsp oregano leaves

2 large tomatoes, in wedges (or stewed tomato)

In 6 quart pan over medium heat cook onion and garlic in the heated olive oil. Cook until tender (10 min.) then discard the garlic.

Add eggplant, green pepper and cook 5 min., stirring frequently. Stir in zucchini, water, salt, oregano, and sugar and heat to boiling. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook 30 minutes stirring occasionally until veggies are tender.

Stir in tomato wedges (or stewed tomatoes) and heat through.

Serve hot, or cover and refrigerate and serve chilled later.

Enjoy!

Vegetarian Recipes l Lentil Walnut Veggie Burgers

admin — Sun, 14 Sep 2008 17:34:10 +0000

How to make Lentil Walnut Veggie Burgers Video. Veggie Burgers are a nutritional alternative to beef burgers. Many people don’t think of making their own veggie burgers but they are really easy to make at home. Store bought veggie burgers are nutritional but often very high in sodium and preservatives. You can substitute the eggs in this recipe with “flax eggs” which are a mix of 6 tbsp ground flax to 2 tbsp boiling water. The milk in this recipe can be substituted with either soya milk or rice milk. This make the recipe completely vegan!
Lentils are high in fiber which makes them a good protector against bowel cancer. They are an excellent source of protein and are an important source of B vitamins, especially B3, which is essential for both a healthy nervous system and digestive system. They are high in iron, zinc and calcium and are a good replacement for red meat. Like meat, the iron in lentils is better absorbed when they are eaten with a good source of vitamin C like leafy green vegetables.
Walnuts are an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids, a special type of fat that is essential for our bodies, but that the body cannot produce. Walnuts are also a very good source of monounsaturated fats.
Walnuts contain many powerful antioxidants, including ellagic and gallic acids, pus antioxidant phenols and vitamin E. The minerals copper and manganese are also found in abundance in these tasty nuts.
