The great thing about this meal is how quickly and simply it can be made, but the best part is that this recipe is full of flavorful nutrients. A huge part of Korean food is cabbage and can be found in nearly every meal. The red cabbage in this recipe gives a peppery flavor and is a source of fiber. The vibrant purplish-red coloring is caused by flavonoids that are great antioxidants. Cabbage is also rich in vitamin C, vitamin K and vitamin A. Overall, cabbage can help to prevent chronic diseases, boost the immune system, and maintain healthy bones.         Sesame oil is also used extensively throughout Korean dishes. There are a variety of nutrients in sesame oil including unsaturated fatty acids, calcium, zinc, magnesium, and iron. The unsaturated fatty acids and magnesium can aid with cholesterol levels and blood pressure, which can benefit overall heart health. Zinc is important for skin health. The sesame oil also provides another source of antioxidants. This tasty ingredient goes beyond just cooking oil; it provides a nutty, rich flavor and many different nutritional benefits.

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: 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

Dietitian Spotlight: Spaghetti Carbonara

Continuing with our goal of “Building A Better Meal”, this month’s theme is “Building A Better Global Meal”. What a better way to assemble some global flare than by taking some cues from Italy. Spaghetti carbonara is a typical Italian staple that tastes anything but typical. For the meat lover’s in your life, they will appreciate the addition of pancetta. The pancetta gives a rich bacon flavor and the Parmesan cheese helps balance out the boldness of the pancetta. Pancetta and Parmesan go together like Venice and gondola rides. By adding eggs to the recipe, it makes the sauce creamy and full-flavored, while also providing a protein source which helps your body build and repair tissues. Protein also helps to keep you feeling full and satisfied long after you’ve polished off this delectable dish. Garlic is another common ingredient of Italian cuisine. The Early Romans even used the savory flavor of garlic to spice up their dishes. There is a lot more to garlic than people probably know. Garlic is a member of the onion family and is packed with nutritional benefits. It has many antioxidant properties and can even help with reducing blood pressure, lowering the risk of heart disease and preventing colds. The antioxidants will reduce the risk of developing chronic diseases like cancer, Alzheimer’s and dementia. To further extend the health benefits of garlic, let it rest about 10 minutes after chopping before you cook them. Another staple of the Mediterranean region is wine. While you may traditionally hear that red wine has all the health benefits, white wine is often overlooked. Both wines contain flavonoids which are powerful antioxidants. White wine can also help with heart health. Plus, cooking with wine adds another dimension of flavor. To enjoy wine and still receive the health perks, only one glass a day is needed. Excessive alcohol intake can actually have a reverse effect on your health. So just sit down and relax. Enjoy this flavorful, hearty meal and the company of your loved ones like the Italians do.   SPAGHETTI CARBONARA INGREDIENTS: 2 large eggs 3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, divided 1 cup frozen peas 8 oz sliced mushrooms 1/2 cup loosely packed chopped fresh basil 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 6 ounces pancetta or bacon, chopped 2 large cloves garlic, minced 3 tablespoons olive oil 1/2 cup dry white wine 1 teaspoon kosher salt 3/4 pound spaghetti   DIRECTIONS 1) Put a large pot of water on to boil. Meanwhile, in a large bowl whisk together the eggs, 1/2 cup Parmesan, peas, basil and pepper. Set aside. 2) Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pancetta and cook, stirring often, until it is browned. Spoon the pancetta to the side of the pan and scoop out all of the pancetta grease except for about 1 tablespoon. Add the garlic and stir until fragrant- about 1 minute. Add the wine and mushrooms and cook until liquid is reduced by about half. Remove from heat and set aside. 3) When the water is boiling, add the salt and spaghetti. Boil pasta until it is al dente (slightly tender to the bite). Scoop out 1/4 cup of the pasta water and set aside (see tips below). Drain the pasta, then immediately add the pasta to the bowl with the egg mixture. Toss to coat the pasta with the egg mixture and incorporate those ingredients throughout (the heat from the pasta will sufficiently cook the egg and melt the cheese). Add the pancetta mixture to the pasta and toss to combine. 4) Serve immediately. Sprinkle individual servings with the remaining Parmesan cheese and freshly ground black pepper. Read More
