There aren’t many diet routines out there that cater for desis who love desi food, therefore, “desified” diet recipes are encouraged but you may post recipes from any part of the world, as long as they are healthy, easy to prepare and tasty! :yummy:
Re: == GSHC - Healthy recipes & diet tips ==
Okay here's a tried and tested healthy recipe. Saw it on a commercial and followed it. It's simple and delicious.
Ingredients:
Pepperidge Farm Deli Flats (2 of them are only only 100 calories. You can also get it in other brands)
Low fat ricotta cheese
Mushrooms (I use white mushrooms)
A jar of sun-dried tomatoes
Fresh baby spinach leaves
*Procedure: *
You're going to take about a tablespoon of oil from the jar of sun-dried tomatoes. And you saute the mushrooms in this oil until they release their water....and have browned a bit....about 7-10 minutes. Season the mushrooms with salt and pepper. Do a taste check.
In a food processor...add 2 teaspoons of oil from the sun-dried tomatoes. Add some sun-dried tomatoes.....and pulse until you get a smooth mixture. Add the ricotta cheese (1/2-1 cup)....salt and pepper to taste...and pulse again. Set this mixture aside.
Take out two of the deli flats and spread the ricotta mixture on them. Then add a few baby spinach leaves. Then top each slice off with the mushroom mixture. ***You're basically creating mini pizzas here. Then you bake in the toaster oven for 3-5 minutes. Optional: I added olives on top of my pizza...and I'm sure you can add other veggies as well.
