Egg Plant Wraps

Have you ever tried eggplant? If not, today is the day to try it! But what is so great about it? Since vegetables are naturally lower in calories, including them in a dish makes for a low-calorie meal that you can enjoy! For example, replacing tortilla with eggplant in a wrap and adding spinach, is an excellent way to lower the amount of calories in your meal. Not only are eggplants and spinach lower in calories, eating vegetables like these will help you gain essential vitamins and minerals that are needed in your diet. Eggplant is not specifically high in one individual nutrient, but it contains a large variety to help you gain nutrients in an area that you could be lacking. Spinach, on the other hand, is abundant in iron, vitamin C, vitamin A, vitamin K, folic acid and calcium. Spinach and other green leafy vegetables are known for being one of the best sources of Vitamin K, which plays a vital role in blood clotting and is essential in promoting bone health. Making the choice to incorporate vegetables into your diet can provide great benefits to your body. There are ways you can change dishes to integrate more vegetables and this is a good way to switch up what is typically on your weekly shopping list. Think of the endless possibilities!   Eggplant Wraps   Ingredients 2 medium/large eggplants 2 tablespoons sunflower oil or light olive oil 1 tablespoon dried mixed herbs 14 ounces spinach 16 sundried tomato pieces, in oil 3 tablespoons pine nuts, lightly toasted in a hot frying pan (no oil needed) 5 ounces sharp Cheddar, cut into 16 slices pinch sea salt black pepper, to taste   Directions 1) Preheat the oven to 350°F. You will need a large non-stick baking sheet. 2) Cut the woody top off each eggplant and discard. Slice each eggplant lengthwise into 8 pieces (16 in all) about 1/2 inch thick. 3) Mix the oil and the herbs together in a small bowl or cup. Lightly brush each slice of eggplant with the herby oil on both sides. Heat a large frying pan over medium heat and lay as many pieces of the eggplant in the pan as will comfortably fit. Fry each side until golden brown and softened, which should be about 3 minutes per side. When all the slices are cooked, set them aside. 4) Wash the spinach well in cold running water, then toss it in a hot medium saucepan (using just the water that is clinging to the leaves) until wilted, and drain off the excess liquid. 5) Now, assemble each wrap by taking 1 slice of the cooked eggplant and placing a little of the wilted spinach on one side. Then lay a piece of sundried tomato on top, sprinkle a few toasted pine nuts over it, and top with a slice of Cheddar. Fold the eggplant over to form the wrap, then place it on a large non-stick baking sheet. 6) Repeat this until all 16 wraps are assembled and placed side by side on the baking sheet. Sprinkle with a pinch of sea salt and a grind of fresh black pepper. 7) Bake in the oven for 15 minutes, until the cheese has melted and is bubbling, and serve immediately. Read More

Dietitian Spotlight: Corned Beef and Brussels Sprout Saute

Celebrate St. Patrick’s Day with this tasty dish!  A corned beef and Brussels sprout sauté will have you feeling festive and full of St. Paddy’s spirit.  What makes this recipe even better?  It's free of the top eight food allergens, making it a great dish to serve to family and dinner guests that have common food allergies.  More than 50 million Americans have some sort of food allergy.  Some people have mild allergic reactions, whereas others can have a more severe and possibly life-threatening response called, anaphylaxis.   The 8 major allergens are: eggs, fish, milk, peanuts, shellfish, soy, tree nuts, and wheat (including gluten).  If you have a food allergy or are cooking for someone with one, you’re in luck with this Irish-inspired dish because it doesn't include any of the 8 major allergens. One allergy in particular not found within this recipe is soy.  Soy is commonly in many packaged foods, like crackers, breads and cookies.  It is also found in legumes, such as beans, edamame, peas, lentils and chickpeas (hummus).  On the label it may read “soy”, “soybean oil”, “soy lecithin”, “hydrolyzed plant protein”, or “May Contain Soy”.  Labels may also use the words “soya” or “soja”.  It is important to read all labels, because you may be surprised about which products can have soy.  Even gum and infant formula sometimes contain soy.    No need to worry about soy with this recipe, or any of the other top allergens for that matter.  So, enjoy this delightful dinner and may you find the secret of catching the leprechaun’s gold.     Ingredients: 1 lb Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved 1 1/2 cups cooked Corned Beef brisket, cubed 1/2 cup beef stock/broth 1/2 small yellow onion, diced 2 cloves garlic, pressed Olive oil, for sauté Salt and pepper, to taste Directions: Add a drizzle of olive oil to a sauté pan and heat over medium. Add diced onions and cook until softened and browned. Add garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant. Now add another swirl of olive oil and Brussels sprouts and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 6 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Deglaze with the 1/2 cup beef broth. Add chopped corned beef and cook until the liquid evaporates. Serve with roasted garlic herb potatoes for a delicious St Paddy's Day meal.   Recipe adapted from 4TheLoveOfFoodBlog.com Read More

Black Bean and Avocado Toast

Black beans and avocados combined?! This nutrient-dense recipe is off to a delicious start! Let's start with Black beans - these little guys are great sources of iron, potassium and folate. Like other legumes, black beans are prized for their high protein and fiber content. One cup of cooked black beans provides 15 grams of fiber, which can help with weight management and reduce blood sugar spikes. Fiber is also strongly linked to a lower risk of many diseases. Don’t be alarmed by the fat content of avocados. This delicious fruit doesn't just contain any fat…the majority of the fat in avocado is oleic acid. The same monounsaturated fatty acid that is the major component of olive oil has been linked to reduced inflammation and has been shown to have beneficial effects on genes linked to cancer. Try this delicious twist on toast for a breakfast that’s easy on the blood sugar. Black Beans and Avocodo Toast Ingredients: Foil or parchment paper 1 medium beefsteak tomato, cut into 4 slices ¼ teaspoon cumin ½ tablespoon olive oil 2 pieces of multigrain or seeded bread (I recommend a sunflower bread), toasted 1 small avocado ½ of a lime, juiced  salt and pepper ⅓ cup low sodium canned black beans, rinsed    Directions  1) Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. 2) Line a small baking sheet with foil or parchment paper. Spread the tomato slices out across the baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt, pepper, and cumin. Roast tomatoes for 15 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool. 3) While the tomatoes are roasting, smash the avocado in a small bowl. Add in the lime juice, salt, and pepper, to taste. Stir in the black beans. 4) Slather the toasts with the avocado mixture and top each with 2 slices of roasted tomato.

Arugula Salad

Post and images by guest blogger, Rebecca White, of A Pleasant Little Kitchen.  Visit her full blog or find out more about her here.  Do you arugula? If you don't, I hope I convince you to. It's crunchy, aromatic, slightly spicy and is perfect to eat in salads, warmed in pastas and even chopped as a garnish. It's the green I love most. Every single week, I grab a bag from the produce section and keep it in my fridge. This tasty green is a pleasant little pantry staple. Shallots, lemons, cheese, olive oil and balsamic vinegar are also kitchen essentials. It's these basic ingredients that help make meals on the fly doable. That's how one of my most favorite go-to side dishes was created...on the fly. Arugula Salad. The ingredients are nothing fancy, but are always in my pantry. And when combined they turn into "I can't stop eating this" salad. arugula chopped shallots grated parmesan fresh lemon juice olive oil balsamic vinegar kosher salt Toss and serve. If I'm in the mood to add more veggies(and they're readily available), I'll add cucumbers, tomatoes and pine nuts. However, these additions are not necessary. This recipe makes my heart skip a beat because there's little effort for huge reward. The arugula is prewashed, the cheese is already grated and the shallot is the only item needed to be chopped. Didn't pick up pre-grated cheese at Market Street this week? That's okay. It will only take a few minutes to grate your own. No shallot? An onion will work just as well. Run out of balsamic vinegar? No problem. Skip this step or use a red wine vinegar instead. If you prefer spinach over arugula, use it! Folks, this salad is versatile. The purpose of this salad is to remind you that a quick side dish can be delicious AND full of quality ingredients. It doesn't have to be frozen or from a box. Before you head to the store this week make a quick inventory of your kitchen. Is there a green in your fridge? Do you have a versatile vinegar and olive oil? Is there at least two onions and two lemons? Is there quality cheese? If not, add it to your list. When you walk the aisles of the store enjoy the delicious variety of the oils and vinegars, the colors of the produce section and the sea of cheese options. Grab a sample or two as well, there's always something tasty to try at Market Street... and they're always happy to share! So let me rephrase that first question. Do you keep a stocked pantry? You should, and make sure you include arugula.   Arugula Salad Author note: This salad is incredibly flexible. Add whatever bits of herbs and vegetables you have lying in the fridge. Nuts or a boiled egg would turn this side dish into a protein rich meal. Gruyere, manchego, goat cheese or feta also work very well with this salad.   Ingredients:  6 cups arugula 2 shallots, chopped 3/4 grated parmesan cheese 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil juice of 1 lemon juice 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt   Directions:  1) Add the arugula, shallots and cheese into a large bowl. 2) Top with the vinegar, oil, lemon juice and salt. Toss well and serve immediately. Read More

Dietitian Spotlight: Salmon with Creamy Lemon-Dill Sauce

Have you ever wanted to get away from the daily hustle and bustle and go for a trip? Give this recipe for salmon with creamy lemon-dill sauce with orzo asparagus a try. This Mediterranean-inspired dish will make you feel as though you traveled halfway around the globe, while getting to enjoy the comfort of your own kitchen. Furthermore, this delicious recipe is packed with numerous health benefits. In general, foods commonly on a Mediterranean menu are rich in nutrients important to one’s health. A typical plate has a large amount of vegetables, fruits, whole grains, legumes, beans, fish and seafood. These foods also tend to be unprocessed, so they retain even more of their nutritional value. They contain different nutritional components that help to keep chronic diseases at bay, such as diabetes, heart disease, Alzheimer’s and cancer. People of the Mediterranean region are known to live longer, healthier lives with their diets playing a large factor.   People with diabetes are at a higher risk for developing heart disease. It is important to consider eating foods that are heart healthy. Many people have a negative perspective on fat and do not consider them good for heart health. There are definitely less healthy versions of fat that we can find in fast foods and junk/processed foods, which are called saturated fats and trans fat, but not all fat is bad for you. Some healthier fats include olive oil, avocados, canola oil, nuts and omega 3s found in fish. It is important to include these in your diet as they keep the body functioning normally, provide a source of energy, help to absorb some vitamins and keep skin and tissues healthy. You’ll get a source of healthy fats in this recipe from the salmon (source of omega 3s) and olive oil. This recipe is a great heart healthy option, while still full of flavor. The Greek yogurt and salmon give this dish a kick of protein. When paired with the orzo, it provides a winning protein-carbohydrate combination. The whole grain orzo used in the recipe is a complex carbohydrate and a great source of fiber. This pairing helps to keep you feeling full long after the meal is over. Furthermore, the steady energy provided will limit blood sugar spikes and feeling drowsy after eating. The recipe is a Mediterranean treat full of essential nutrients and health benefits. Enjoy your Mediterranean adventure!     NOTE:  If you’re in a hurry or do not like preparing fish, let Market Street help you.  We can season and steam the salmon while you shop.    Salmon with Creamy Lemon-Dill Sauce with Orzo Asparagus Saute Ingredients: 3/4 lb salmon, fillet, skinned 1 Tbsp butter, melted 1/2 tsp + 1/2 tsp bottled minced garlic, divided 1/4 tsp and 1/4 tsp salt and pepper, divided 1/2 lemon 1/2 cup plain greek yogurt 1 Tbsp chopped fresh dill (or 1 tsp dried) 1 lb asparagus 1 cup orzo 1 Tbsp olive oil Instructions Preheat oven to 425 F. Place salmon on a foil-lined baking sheet. Stir together melted butter, garlic, salt and pepper; brush over salmon. Bake 10 to 15 minutes or until salmon flakes with a fork. Meanwhile, cut asparagus into 3-inch pieces. Cook orzo according to package directions, adding asparagus during last 2 minutes of cooking. Drain orzo, and place in a serving bowl. Add oil, garlic, salt and pepper; toss. Grate rind from lemon; juice lemon. Stir together yogurt, lemon rind, lemon juice, and dill. Serve with salmon and orzo. Read More

Thai Broccoli Rice

Post and images by guest blogger, Rebecca White, of A Pleasant Little Kitchen.  Visit her full blog or find out more about her here.  Ricing veggies at home is as easy as, well, rice. Riced veggies (typically cauliflower, broccoli and sweet potato) are essentially vegetables that have been pulsed in a food processor and left small and "rice sized." Easy peasy. If you’re still wondering about the concept of riced vegetables let me expound. The beauty of the “riced” concept is it takes some not so lovable vegetables, like cauliflower and broccoli, and chops them until they are not so recognizable while still maintaining their nutritional value. Genius. Plus, it’s a different spin on how to eat your veggies and that’s always fun.There are a few approaches to making and using the riced vegetables: 1) Cut the vegetables into florets, place into the food processor and puree until it is broken into rice-like consistency. Serve raw.2) Repeat the above steps, however add an additional step, sauté for about 3-5 minutes with your favorite oils, spices and vegetables. Serve cooked.3) Cut the broccoli or cauliflower (or combination of the two) into florets, sauté on the stovetop and then puree in food processor until rice like consistency develops. Serve cooked. These three steps are just the very basics. Incorporating flavor is up to you. However just a bit of salt, fresh herbs, and your favorite oil can make these bites full of flavor. Here are a few other ideas to make the riced vegetable a staple in your kitchen: 1) Combine with favorite herbs, nuts and other chopped vegetables. Toss with olive oil and salt. Serve chilled or warm.2) Add soft cheese, like goat or feta, to the riced vegetables.3) Add a runny egg on top to make a warm bowl of riced veggies into a protein packed meal. To make this experience of ricing veggies at home even easier, let Market Street provide the cut veggies, like broccoli and cauliflower. One of my favorite riced vegetable dish is Thai Broccoli Rice. This recipe requires broccoli florets (that I pick up in the produce department already cut, washed and bagged) and shredded cabbage (which is also readily available near the broccoli). The only chopping I have to do is for fresh ginger, garlic, onion and serrano, all of which infuse the cooking oil with a punch of flavor for this recipe. A few dashes of fish and soy sauce from the international food aisle from Market Street and additional layers of flavor. Fresh cilantro, mint and lime juice finish off this easy meal with flavor and color. Start the new year off right with fresh ingredients and veggies from Market Street. Give them all a quick blitz in the food processor and let the new year bring a new spin on vegetables. Thai Broccoli Rice Serves 6 Author note: The level of heat is up to you. If you prefer a lot of heat, do not seed the serrano pepper. If you prefer a little bit of heat, remove a bit of the stem and seeds. Use a low sodium tamari, this will allow you to control the salt level a bit more.    Ingredients 8 cups broccoli florets 2 tablespoons canola oil 1/2 cup onion, diced 3 cloves garlic, chopped 2 tablespoons fresh ginger, chopped 1 serrano pepper, chopped 4 cups cabbage, shredded juice of 1 lime 8 basil leaves 1 cup cilantro, chopped 1 tablespoon fish sauce 2 tablespoons low sodium tamari (or low sodium soy sauce) 1/2 teaspoon of salt (optional)   Directions 1. In a food processor, puree the broccoli until a rice-like consistency develops. This may have to be done in two batches depending on the size of your food processor. 2. In a large flat bottomed skillet, add the oil, onion, garlic, ginger and serrano and cook over medium heat for 7 minutes. Stir occasionally. 3. Add the cabbage and coat with the infused oil. Cook for 4 minutes. 4. Add the riced broccoli and continue to cook for 3-4 minutes. Stir occasionally. 5. Add the fish sauce and soy sauce and cook for 1 minute. 6. Remove from the heat and add the basil, cilantro and lime juice. Stir well. Serve warm. Read More
