Spicy Crisp Chickpea Pancakes - Indian - 17g Carbs, 3g Fiber - 3 pts plus

Recipe By:
Serving Size: 4
Preparation Time: 0:00
Categories: Low Cal (Less than 300 cals) - Lower Carbs - Vegan

1 cup  gram flour -- (chickpea or garbanzo flour) generous
1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds
1/4 teaspoon ajowan seeds -- or black sesame, or black onion seeds, or nigella seeds
1 1/2 teaspoons  peeled and grated gingerroot
2 garlic cloves -- peeled and grated
salt -- to taste
1/4 teaspoon  turmeric
2 tablespoons  chopped cilantro leaves
1/2 onion -- minced
1 small  tomato -- chopped
2 teaspoons  lemon juice
1 tablespoon  vegetable oil -- (1 to 2)

Whisk 1/2 ,to a scant 2/3, cup of water into the gram flour, making sure there are no lumps. Add all the remaining ingredients except the oil and mix well. Taste for seasoning and adjust if necessary. The batter should have the consistency of heavy cream.

Heat around 1/2 - 3/4 teaspoon of the oil in a cast-iron griddle pan and pour in one-quarter of the batter, to make a pancake about 6 inches in diameter. Cook for one to two minutes, or until lightly golden on the base, then drizzle another 1/2 - 3/4 teaspoon of oil over the top and flip the pancake over. Cook, pressing down to help the edges crisp up. Once the base is golden, take out and repeat with the remaining oil and batter.

Serve hot, with spicy ketchup or Coastal Coconut Chutney (see below).

MAKES 4 PANCAKES

These are known as chillas and are a high-protein, gluten-free savory pancake. They are eaten as they are, with spicy ketchup or chutney (see below), for breakfast or as a snack. Very quick to make, the pancakes are nutritious and filling, so are popular in vegetarian Indian homes. I also love them for an easy lunch with some simple vegetables on the side.

Coastal Coconut Chutney
1 cup grated coconut, generous
1 to 2 green chilies
1/4 ounce peeled gingerroot
1 pinch salt
1/2 cup creamy Greek yougurt, scant
1 1/2 Tablespoon Bengal gram, (chan dal)
1 Tablespoon lemon juice
water, as needed
1 Tablespoon vegetable oil
2/3 teaspoon mustard seeds
8 curry leaves

Place generous 1 cup grated coconut 1-2 green chiles, 1/4 ounce peeled gingerroot, a pinch of salt, and scant 1/2 cup creamy Greek yogurt in a blender. Dry roast 1 1/2 tablespoons Bengal gram (chana dal) until colored all over, then tip into the blender with 1 tablespoon lemon juice. Blend until smooth, adding water to help. Heat 1 teaspoon vegetable oil in a pan, then add 2/3 teaspoon mustard seeds. When the popping dies down, add 8 curry leaves and cook for 10 seconds longer. Pour this into the chutney and stir it all together. Taste, adjust the seasoning and lemon juice, then serve

MAKES 3/4 CUP

A really lovely chutney from the South, this adds texture, creaminess and
heat.

[Healthy_Recipes_For_Diabetic_Friends] Chickpea Galette - French Socca - 18g carbs, 3g fiber; 5 pts plus

 

                      

* Exported from MasterCook *

                     Chickpea Galette - French Socca

Recipe By     :
Serving Size  : 4     Preparation Time :0:00
Categories    : LowCal (Less than 300 cals)     LowerCarbs
                Vegan

  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  1 1/3           cups  chickpea flour -- also called garbanzo flour, besan or gram flour
  1           teaspoon  fine sea salt
  1           teaspoon  ground cumin
  3        Tablespoons  olive oil
  1                cup  cold water
                        To cook: -- olive oil
                        Freshly ground black pepper

1.  In a medium bowl, combine the chickpea flour, salt, cumin, and 3
tablespoons oil. Pour in 1 cup / 240 ml cold water in a slow stream,
whisking constantly to avoid lumps. The mixture will be thinner than
pancake batter. Cover and let rest for 2 hours at room temperature, or
overnight in the fridge.

2.  Place a well-seasoned 10-inch / 25 em cast-iron pan in the oven and
preheat the oven to 400°F. / 200°C.

3.  Whisk the batter again. Remove the pan from the oven cautiously (it
will he hot) and pour in a good glug of oil, swirling the pan around to
coat. Add half of the batter to the pan and swirl to cover the entire
surface. Return to the oven and bake until set, 10 to 15 minutes. Switch
the oven to the broiler setting and Ieave the pan in, keeping a close eye
on it, until golden brown and crisp at the top, a few minutes more.

4.  Turn the socca out onto a plate—you may have to help it out with a
thin spatula—and then flip it back onto a cutting board, browned side up.
Cut into square servings with a knife or pizza wheel, drizzle with a
little more olive oil, sprinkle with black pepper, and serve hot. Repeat
with the remaining batter.

Serves 4

USE AS A TART BASE: Prepare the batter as instructed above, but add only
3/4 cup water. Pour the entire amount of batter into the pan  at once and
bake until set, 25 to 30 minutes, before switching to the broiler setting
for another 10 minutes. Turn the socca out onto a plate, then flip it back
onto a serving dish, and garnish with cooked or raw vegetables.

AuthorNote: A staple of Nice's culinary heritage, socca is a thin crepe
made with chickpea flour and baked on giant copper pans in wood-fired
ovens. The large round is sliced into smaller pieces that receive a
drizzle of olive oil and a shower of black pepper before they're eaten,
hot, with one's fingers. It would be sacrilegious to use cutlery.

Though the wood-fire smokiness does a lot to contribute to socca's
addictive flavor, those of us who don't have such an oven can nonetheless
make it —or one of its relations -at home. Socca has various siblings
around the Mediterranean, such as the Italian cecina and farinata, or the
cumin-flavored calentita that Spanish Jews brought with them to North
Africa. And although cumin is untraditional in socca, I tried adding some
to a batch recently and have never looked back.

Aside from baking socca to serve with a predinner drink, I also make a
slightly thicker version to use as a tart base, topped with summertime
vegetables, as for the Zucchini and Apricot Socca Tart on page 76.

Variation:  Sprinkle thinly sliced scallions (white and green parts) on
the batter just after pouring into the hot pan.

[Healthy_Recipes_For_Diabetic_Friends] French Apple and Salted Caramel Sauce - 11g Carbs, Trace Fiber

 

Apple and Salted Caramel Sauce - 11g Carbs, Trace Fiber

Sauce au caramel salte et al la pomme

Recipe By:
Serving Size: 5    
Preparation Time: 0:00
Categories: Condiment - Low Cal (Less than 300 cal) - Lower Carbs - Veggie

1/2 cup apple cider -- hard cider, or natural unfiltered apple juice
3 tablespoons granulated white sugar -- (not unrefined)
1 teaspoon cornstarch
2 tablespoons  nsalted butter -- or all-natural unsweetened almond butter
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt

1. Heat the apple cider in a saucepan until just below the simmering point.

2. Meanwhile, put the sugar (make sure it is lump-free) in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Let the sugar melt; you can swirl the pan around, but do not stir.

3. Once the sugar is entirely melted, it will quickly take on a light amber color; remove the pan from the heat then. Wearing long sleeves and an oven mitt, pour in the hot cider with caution; it will spit and splatter and d the caramel will harden.  Return the pan over medium heat and stir until the caramel is melted again.

4. Put the cornstarch in a small heatproof bowl and whisk in 2 tablespoons of the caramel until dissolved. Pour back into the pan and whisk over medium heat as the mixture thickens slightly.

5. Remove from the heat and whisk in the butter and salt.

6. Serve immediately or at room temperature. Pour leftovers into a jar, refrigerate, and use within a few clays.

MAKES 1/3 CUP  (5 one-tablespoon servings)

This caramel sauce makes a fine companion to crêpes, yogurt, and baked or fresh fruit. The subtle tang of apple cider brings a lovely balance to the flavors, but other fruit juices can be used—orange juice in particular.

Unrefined sugar contains impurities that prevent it from caramelizing properly, so I revert to regular white sugar here.

[Healthy_Recipes_For_Diabetic_Friends] Crock Pot Turkey White Bean Pumpkin Chili - 31g Carbs, 12g Fiber, 2.7g Sugar

 

Crock Pot Turkey White Bean Pumpkin Chili - 31g Carbs, 12g Fiber, 2.7g Sugar

From: www.skinnytaste.com - Gina's Weight Watcher Recipes

A perfect fall chili made with pumpkin puree, ground turkey, white beans, green chili and spices. Top this with chopped fresh cilantro, scallions, jalapenos, light sour cream, and/or reduced fat cheddar and serve it with baked chips on the side for a wonderful lunch or dinner.

I am so happy to share this one with you!!! Not all my crock pot experiments get me excited, but when they do they wind up here on Skinnytaste. The pumpkin is not sweet at all, in fact, if you don't mention it, no one would even know it's there but it does add beautiful color to the chili and for picky eaters, a great way to sneak in vegetables.

This is pretty mild as far as heat goes, if you want more kick use chipotle chili powder in place of the chili powder and use it according to your taste. Leftovers can be frozen, enjoy!

Servings: 9
Serving Size: 1 cup
Old Points: 5 pts

Cooking spray (I used my Misto)
2 lb 99% lean ground turkey
1/2 tsp olive oil
1 small onion, chopped
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 tsp chili powder, to taste
2 bay leaves
2 tsp cumin
1 tsp oregano
2 (15 oz cans) white northern or navy beans (I prefer Goya) rinsed and drained
15 oz can pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
4.5 oz canned chopped green chile
2 cups low sodium, fat free chicken broth
Chopped cilantro and chives for topping
Salt and pepper to taste
Low fat sour cream for topping (optional)

Heat a large heavy saute pan over high heat and lightly spray with oil. Add meat and cook, breaking it up until white, about 5 minutes.  Add to crock pot.

Add oil to the saute pan, then onions, garlic, saute about 3 - 4 minutes; add cumin and saute another minute.

Add to crock pot. Add beans, pumpkin puree, green chilies, broth, chili powder, oregano, and bay leaves. Cover and cook on high for 4 hours or low for 8 hours.

Remove bay leaves and adjust seasoning to taste before serving. Enjoy!

����������������������� Thai Collard Rolls -
Recipe By���� :
Serving Size� : 12��� Preparation Time :0:00
Categories��� : LowCal (Less than 300 cals)���� LowerCarbs
��������������� Vegan
� Amount� Measure������ Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------� ------------� --------------------------------
� 6������������ leaves� collard greens -- blanched
� 1��������������� cup� shredded red cabbage
� 1������������ medium� carrot -- coarsely grated
� 1��������������� cup� Thai Guacamole -- (see page 102)
� 1�������������������� red bell pepper -- cored and thinly sliced
� 2�������������������� scallions -- halved lengthwise (white and green parts)
���� 1/2���������� cup� cilantro -- a handful, roughly chopped
To make collard wraps, remove the center stems and stack the leaves into a
pile. Trim into 4 x 6-inch rectangles.
Dip collard greens in boiling water for less than 5 seconds and place in
an ice-water bath. Dry with a clean kitchen towel.
On one end of the collard wrap, add a small mound of cabbage and carrot, a
dollop of guacamole, and a couple pieces of red pepper, scallion. and
cilantro. Roll tightly into a thick cigarlike shape and cut down the
middle on a diagonal. Place rolls seam side down on a plate.
MAKES 12 ROLLS
The trick with this recipe is to blanch the collard greens, because it

--------  ------------  --------------------------------
                        NOODLES:
     3/4           cup  spelt flour
     1/4      teaspoon  sea salt
  3        tablespoons  water
                        SOUP BASE:
  6               cups  water -- or vegetable stock, ( see page 228)
  1              small  onion -- chopped
  4             cloves  garlic -- chopped
  1                     hot chile pepper -- seeded and diced, or 3 dried red chiles
  1                     tomato -- chopped
  2               cups  small cauliflower flowerets
  1                cup  chopped cabbage
  3        tablespoons  soy sauce
  1           teaspoon  sea salt -- or to taste
  2               cups  chopped kale -- or spinach
  2        tablespoons  minced fresh cilantro
Make the "noodles": place the flour and salt in a bowl and mix well. Add
the water and mix well, forming it into a dough.
Place the water in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the remaining
soup ingredients except the kale and cilantro and bring to a boil,
stirring occasionally. Lower the heat to medium and cook until the
cauliflower is just soft.
Pinch off small pieces of the dough, flatten with your fingers, and add
them to the soup. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the kale
and cilantro, cook for 2 minutes longer, and mix well before serving.
Serves 4 to 6
Variations:
Replace the vegetables with potatoes, broccoli, squash, carrots, zucchini,
or mushrooms.
Try adding roasted tofu or tempeh cubes (see page 227).
AuthorNote: Thenthuk is a hardy soup in which the "noodles" are actually
small pieces of dough. It will definitely keep you warm and happy in the
high Himalayas. Create your own designer thenthuk by adding what's fresh
in your garden. Serve with a warm cup of Korean Toasted Barley Tea (page
219).
