Zucchini, Red Pepper and Feta Frittata
Jul 14, 2005
High-fibre, low-GI beans add body to this filling main-course soup from "The GI Diet Made Easy" story in our October 2004 issue, and the whole wheat croutons have a little more fibre than store-bought white croutons.
Blanch the beans ahead then finish the colourful dish off just before serving.
These refrigerator pickles make a refreshing accompaniment to grilled meat, a crunchy garnish for bloody marys or Caesars, or a piquant addition to a pickle tray.
This high-carbohydrate side dish has whole grain brown rice, which has a low-glycemic index (or is slow acting). It's also low in fat and includes legumes, which contain magnesium.
A bit time-consuming, but worth the effort, these cheese-stuffed and fried peppers are a Mexican staple. Fresh poblano peppers are mildly hot and darker green with more tapered tips than sweet green peppers. If they are unavailable or if you want a milder version, use small sweet red or yellow peppers.
This bright salad tastes as good as it looks. Use shelled edamame (Japanese green soy beans), which can be found in your grocer's freezer section, to make this salad in just five minutes.
Serve this simple saucy chicken stew over rice or pasta for a delicious dinner. Skinless chicken drumsticks could be used in place of the thighs.
