[Healthy_Recipes_For_Diabetic_Friends] Ginger, Split Pea and Vegetable Curry (Subzi dalcha) - 30g Carbs, 6g Fiber

 

Ginger, Split Pea and Vegetable Curry (Subzi dalcha) - 30g Carbs,  6g Fiber

From: EatingWell - January/February 2008    
Protein-rich yellow split peas combined with fresh vegetables yields a hearty, stewlike curry—perfect for a cold winter night by the fireplace, with a loaf of crusty bread. Try any combination of vegetables—sweet potatoes, winter squash and spinach create a sweeter offering. Don't be alarmed by the number of chiles—the vegetables and split peas bring the heat level down to make each bite addictive without being excessively hot.

Nutrition Profile - - Diabetes appropriate | Low calorie | Low cholesterol | Low saturated fat | Heart healthy | Healthy weight | High fiber | High potassium | Gluten free

Active Time: 50 min
Total Time: 50 min
Servings: 6
Serving Size: generous 1 cup each

1 large russet or Yukon Gold potato, peeled, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1/2 cup yellow split peas, (chana dal)
1 cup cauliflower florets, (1-inch pieces)
1 cup green bean pieces, frozen or fresh (1-inch pieces)
1 small (8 oz) eggplant, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1 medium carrot, cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices
1 3/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp ground turmeric
1 Tbsp canola oil
1 tsp cumin seeds
4 large cloves garlic, cut into thin slivers
1-3 fresh green chiles, such as Thai or serrano chiles, stemmed and thinly sliced crosswise (do not seed)
1 Tbsp cornstarch
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh cilantro
4 long thin slices fresh ginger, cut into matchsticks
Juice from 1 medium lime
1 tsp ghee, or butter (optional)

Place potatoes in a small bowl and cover with cold water. Place split peas in a large saucepan. Fill the pan halfway with water and rinse the peas by rubbing them between your fingers. (The water will become cloudy.) Drain. Repeat three or four times, until the water remains relatively clear; drain. Add 4 cups water to the split peas and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Skim off any foam that rises to the surface. Drain the potatoes and add to the peas. Return to a boil, reduce heat to medium and simmer, uncovered, for 5 minutes.

Stir in cauliflower, green beans, eggplant, carrot, salt and turmeric. Return to a boil; cover, reduce to a gentle simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are fork-tender and the peas are soft but firm-looking, 7 to 10 minutes more.

Meanwhile, heat oil in a small skillet over medium-high heat. Add cumin seeds and cook until they sizzle and smell fragrant, 15 to 20 seconds. Stir in garlic and chiles to taste and cook, stirring, until the garlic is light brown and the chiles are fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from the heat.

Stir the garlic-chile mixture into the cooked vegetables. Scoop a ladleful of cooking water from the saucepan to the skillet; swish it around and pour the "washings" back into the saucepan.

Whisk cornstarch with 3 tablespoons of the cooking liquid in a small bowl until smooth. Stir it into the stew along with cilantro and ginger. Increase heat to medium-high and simmer the curry, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens, about 2 minutes. Stir in lime juice and ghee (or butter), if using.

[Healthy_Recipes_For_Diabetic_Friends] Pacific Sole with Oranges and Pecans - 11g Carbs, 2g Fiber, 0g Added Sugars

 

Pacific Sole with Oranges and Pecans - 11g Carbs, 2g Fiber, 0g Added Sugars

From: EatingWell:  August/September 2005, EatingWell Serves Two, The EatingWell Healthy in a Hurry Cookbook (2006)    
Not so long ago, Dover sole meant an overcooked fillet swimming in butter, dotted with tasteless dried herbs and soaked in too much lemon juice. But sole deserves a comeback: it can become a satisfying, sophisticated, one-skillet dinner with very little effort. The recipe can easily be doubled.

Nutrition Profile - -
Diabetes appropriate | Low calorie | Low carbohydrate | Low saturated fat | Low sodium | Heart healthy | Healthy weight | High calcium | High potassium | Gluten free |
Active Time: 20 min
Total Time: 20 min
Servings: 2

1 orange
10 oz Pacific sole, (see Note) or tilapia fillets
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp freshly ground pepper
2 tsp unsalted butter
1 medium shallot, minced
2 Tbsp white-wine vinegar
2 Tbsp chopped pecans, toasted (see Cooking Tip)
2 Tbsp chopped fresh dill

Using a sharp paring knife, remove the skin and white pith from orange. Hold the fruit over a medium bowl and cut between the membranes to release individual orange sections into the bowl, collecting any juice as well. Discard membranes, pith and skin.

Sprinkle both sides of fillets with salt and pepper. Coat a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray and place over medium heat. Add the fillets and cook 1 minute for sole or 3 minutes for tilapia. Gently flip and cook until the fish is opaque in the center and just cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes for sole or 3 to 5 minutes for tilapia. Divide between 2 serving plates; tent with foil to keep warm.

Add butter to the pan and melt over medium heat. Add shallot and cook, stirring, until soft, about 30 seconds. Add vinegar and the orange sections and juice; loosen any browned bits on the bottom of the pan and cook for 30 seconds. Spoon the sauce over the fish and sprinkle each portion with pecans and dill. Serve immediately. Makes 2 servings.

Ingredient Note: The term "sole" is widely used for many types of flatfish from both the Atlantic and Pacific. Flounder and Atlantic halibut are included in the group that is often identified as sole or grey sole. The best choices are Pacific, Dover or English sole. Other sole and flounder are overfished.

Cooking Tip: To toast chopped nuts or seeds: Cook in a small dry skillet over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until fragrant and lightly browned, 2 to 4 minutes.

[Healthy_Recipes_For_Diabetic_Friends] Roasted Winter Vegetables - 9.6g Carbs, 4.3g Fiber, 0.5g Sugar

 

Roasted Winter Vegetables - 9.6g Carbs, 4.3g Fiber, 0.5g Sugar

From: SparkPeople user CHEF_MEG
By roasting these hearty winter vegetables, we soften their strong tastes and bring out their natural sweetness.
Prepare: 15 min
Cook: 30 min
Servings: 8

2 Tbsp olive oil
1 head cauliflower, broken into florets
2 small fennel bulbs, sliced (white parts only)
2 cups Brussels sprouts, about 10 oz, ends trimmed, outer leaves removed, and cut into quarters
2 cloves garlic, sliced
1 Tbsp dried thyme
1/4 tsp black pepper
1 lemon, zested and juiced

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.

Heat the oil in a large oven-safe saute pan. Saute the cauliflower over high heat, stirring constantly, for five minutes.
Add the fennel and cook for 3-4 minutes. Add the Brussels sprouts, thyme, pepper, and garlic; saute for 2 minutes.
Transfer the pan to the oven to roast for 25 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes. Sprinkle with lemon zest and juice.

Tips - -
Note: You can use any combination of these three vegetables in this recipe.
Fennel has a mild licorice flavor, and it becomes very sweet when roasted. You can save the fronds for use as garnish or in salads, but discard the tough green stems.
To prep the fennel, slice off the root end, then remove the stems. Slice in half from root to tip, remove the tough inner core, and slice into half-moons.

To prep fresh Brussels sprouts, rinse them well, then slice off the ends, remove the outer layers, and cut into quarters. Rinse again to remove any residual dirt.

Serve warm.

Makes: eight 1 cup portions (= 2 servings of vegetables)
