Slow Cooker Creamy Paprika Pork - 7.7g Carbs, 2.2g Fiber, 1.4g Sugar

From SparkPeople user: CHEF_MEG

Serve this comforting Hungarian classic with steamed brown rice
and spinach or over whole-wheat egg noodles.
Prep: 15 min
Cook: 360 min
Servings: 4

16 oz pork tenderloin, trimmed of fat, cut into 1/2 inch cubes
2 large white OR yellow onions, sliced (about 1 1/2 cups)
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 Tbsp Hungarian OR sweet paprika
1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
1 bay leaf
1 1/2 cups homemade chicken stock
1/2 cup fat-free plain Greek yogurt
2 Tbsp parsley, chopped

Coat a large skillet with cooking spray and place over medium heat. Add
the pork and cook for three to four minutes, until the pork is no longer
pink.

Transfer the pork to a slow cooker, then return the pan to the heat. Coat
with more cooking spray, then add the onions and garlic. Cook for three
minutes, stirring occasionally.

Stir in the paprika and cayenne, along with 1/4 cup stock. Stir vigorously
to scrape up any cooked-on bits from the bottom of the pan, then pour
everything into the slow cooker, along with the rest of the stock and the
bay leaf.

Cook on low for five to seven hours, until the pork is tender. Turn off heat, remove the bay leaf, and slowly stir in yogurt and parsley.
Serve immediately.

                LowerCarbs                      LowFat (Less than 30%)
                Vegan
 
  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  2          teaspoons  olive oil
     1/2           cup  coarsely chopped carrots
     1/2           cup  coarsely chopped celery
     1/4           cup  coarsely chopped leeks
  1                cup  coarsely chopped onions
     1/4           cup  tomato paste
  4             cloves  garlic -- minced
  1 1/4           cups  red wine -- divided
  1                     bay leaf
  2             quarts  water -- or vegetable stock
  1           teaspoon  thyme
                             
 
In a large saucepan, heat oil. Add all the vegetables and saute until the
onions are a golden brown (about 6 minutes). Add the tomato paste and the
garlic. Saute until the tomato paste is well combined with the vegetables.
Add half the red wine and allow it to reduce by one third of the volume.
Add the other half of the wine and allow to reduce by one third.
 
Add the bay leaf, water, and thyme. Bring to a simmer, and allow to reduce
by half. Strain the sauce (this is a classic technique and is not
mandatory). Serve hot, or refrigerate until ready to use.
  
Notes: Demi-glace is a reduction sauce; the texture and the concentrated
flavor are achieved by allowing the liquid to cook off. Demi-glace is done
when it coats the back of a spoon. If not thick enough, arrowroot
dissolved in a little cold water can be added.
 
Serves 6
 
AuthorNote: Considered a leading sauce, demi-glace can stand on its own or
be the start of many interesting sauces.

                 Middle Eastern Lima Bean Dip with Zaatar

Serving Size  : 8     Preparation Time :0:00
Categories    : Condiment                       LowCal (Less than 300 cals)
                LowerCarbs                      Vegan
 
  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  2               cups  frozen lima beans
     1/4           cup  extra-virgin olive oil
  1                     onion -- finely chopped
  3                     garlic cloves -- minced
  1                     jalapeño pepper -- seeded and chopped
  2               tbsp  lemon juice
     1/2           tsp  salt
     1/4           cup  minced fresh parsley
                        To garnish: -- zahtar, to taste
 
In small saucepan, cover and cook lima beans with 2 tbsp (25 mL) boiling
water until tender, about 5 minutes. Transfer to food processor to let
cool.
 
Meanwhile, in skillet, heat oil over medium heat; cook onion, garlic and
jalapeño pepper until onion is softened, about 6 minutes.
 
Add onion mixture to food processor along with lemon juice, salt and 1/4
cup (50 mL) water; purée until smooth. Pulse in parsley.
 
Transfer to shallow bowl. (Make-ahead: Cover and refrigerate for up to 3
days.) Sprinkle with Zahtar.
 
Makes 2 cups (serves 8 one-quarter cup servings)
 
Substitution: Replace cooked lima beans with 1 can (19 oz/540 mL) white
beans or chickpeas, drained and rinsed. Reduce water to 2 tbsp (25 mL) and
salt to 1/4 tsp (1 mL).
 
AuthorNote: Mild, buttery lima beans, available frozen in supermarkets,
lend a lovely pale green colour and rich texture to this dip, which is
equally good made with chickpeas or white beans. Zahtar is a Middle
Eastern spice mixture that's available at Middle Eastern grocers, but is a
cinch to make yourself. Increase the jalapeño peppers to two, if you enjoy
the heat.

adding 1/4 room temperature broth to cut the fat and calories.Add more
broth as needed to get the desired consistency.

[Healthy_Recipes_For_Diabetic_Friends] Caprese Kale Saute - 9.2g Carbs, 1.9g Fiber, 1g Sugar

 

Caprese Kale Saute - 9.2g Carbs, 1.9g Fiber, 1g Sugar

From: www.rebootwithjoe.com
Posted by: Isabel Smith - Reboot Nutrition Ambassador on March 27th, 2013

Kale makes for a great side or main dish because it is packed with
fiber, vitamin K that helps with blood clotting, folic acid, vitamin C,
and is a good source of calcium. Adding different vegetables to your
kale can be a great way to dress up your recipe.

This recipe incorporates garlic and cooked tomatoes. Garlic is packed
with antioxidants which are important for fighting the cell-damaging
agents called free radicals that can damage cells in your body. The
cooked tomatoes in this recipe are rich in lycopene, another powerful
antioxidant. Lycopene has been found to be important in preventing
heart disease and possibly cancer. The garlic and tomatoes help to
make this dish healthy, delicious and satisfying.
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 20 minutes
Servings: 2

1 tsp/5 ml olive oil
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1/3- 1/2/60 g cup cherry tomatoes- halved
2 cups kale (Tuscan cabbage), off the stem
Dash sea salt, to taste
Pepper, to taste
1/2 tsp/2.5 ml dried basil

1.) Warm a saute pan over medium heat and add the olive oil.

2.) Add the chopped garlic and tomatoes.

3.) Once the tomatoes and garlic are soft – about 7 minutes – add
the kale (Tuscan cabbage) to the pan and stir ingredients together
in the heated pan.

4.) Cover the pan and continue to cook ingredients for about 5 minutes
or until the kale is cooked but not wilted.

5.) Add salt, pepper, and basil to the pan and mix the ingredients
together in the saute pan.

6.) Remove pan from heat, serve, and enjoy!

[Healthy_Recipes_For_Diabetic_Friends] Baked Red Cabbage with Spices - 11.9g Carbs, 4.1g Fiber, 6.1g Sugar

 

Baked Red Cabbage with Spices - 11.9g Carbs, 4.1g Fiber, 6.1g Sugar

From: www.vegetablegardener.com -Susan Belsinger 2011
Oven-baked cabbage is a simple and tasty way to enjoy this brassica. It is both sweet and a little sour with vinegar and the spice is just right. Sesame seeds add a nice crunch on top. It can be made with any of the green cabbages, or even Brussels sprouts.

1 small red cabbage, cored and shredded
1 large onion, peeled, quartered lengthwise and sliced thin
1 tart apple, cored and cut into julienne
1/3 cup olive oil
2 1/2 Tbsp red wine vinegar
2 tsp EACH: paprika, cinnamon, and dill weed
1 1/2 tsp EACH: toasted and ground cumin seed and caraway seed
1 heaping Tbsp sugar, optional (OMIT)
Salt and freshly ground pepper
2 Tbsp sesame seed
2 Tbsp unsalted butter, cut into bits, optional

Both cabbage and onions turn sweet when cooked—so it is good to add a tart apple to this dish. I use lots of Mid-Eastern Mediterranean spices to give it an interesting flavor. Although I like the red cabbage baked, green works equally well.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F and lightly oil a 13x9-inch casserole dish.

In a large bowl, combine the cabbage, onion and apple and toss. Drizzle the olive oil and vinegar over the vegetables and sprinkle the paprika, cinnamon, dill, cumin, caraway, sugar, if using it, and season generously with salt and pepper. Toss well to coat the vegetables.

Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the top with sesame seeds and dot with butter, if desired. Bake in a preheated oven for 1 hour; cover with foil for the last 10 or 15 minutes. Remove from oven and let stand for 5 to 10 minutes before serving. Taste for salt and pepper and serve.
