Serving Size  : 4     Preparation Time :0:00
Categories    : LowCal (Less than 300 cals)     LowerCarbs
                LowFat (Less than 10%)          Veggie

  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  2                     sweet yellow peppers
  1                     sweet red pepper
  4                     peaches -- peeled, pitted
  1              clove  garlic -- minced
     1/2           cup  peach nectar -- *
     1/2           cup  vegetable stock
  2        tablespoons  chopped fresh chives

  1               Dash  hot pepper sauce

Place peppers on greased grill or rimmed baking sheet. Grill over
medium-hot coals, or broil, turning often, until charred (it is quite a
bit faster in an oven). Let cool slightly; peel and seed, catching any
juices in a bowl. In a processor or blender, puree half the peppers and
half the peaches; add to bowl with pepper juice.
Cut remaining peppers and peaches into small dice; add to bowl along with
garlic, peach nectar, stock, half the chives, vinegar, salt, pepper, and
pepper sauce. Cover and chill thoroughly, about an hour. Serve, garnished
with remaining chives. 

Serves 4.

Note: *If you don't have peach nectar, puree a peach, press through a
sieve, and add a bit of water, enough to give a nectar-like consistency.

AuthorNote: Sweet, tangy, and a bit of a bite. (And you thought gazpacho
was only red.)

Re: [Healthy_Recipes_For_Diabetic_Friends] Crab Artichoke Dip - 11.4g Carbs, 2.6g Fiber, 0.8g Sugar

 

For the nutrition purposes... caloriecount used plain. Consider this if using something other than plain. Added salt, etc.

Either could be used depending on the flavor you prefer. Marinated will, of course, add more flavor even if drained, than plain artichokes. It really does not matter if can or jar. The amount added is the key.


I have some artichoke bottoms here that I plan to use for this. I eat rather plain due to necessity. I can add seasoning to my taste. You can do the same.


Hope this helps.

Take care,
Gloria

Might make this for New Year's Eve. Are the artichokes marinated? Where I live marinated ones are in jars and regular are in cans.

4. Fold up foil to create tight packets and place on baking tray.

5. Place in the oven for 15 minutes or until the fish flakes with a fork.
