Re: Question about carbs and veggies. | | I am a convert to Veggie LOVING!!!! Honestly I use to try to eat a salad and gag and gag until vomiting... Now I love veggies... My husband is Moroccan and I feel in love with their cuisines...
Here is some easy recipes to cook and will get you started on veggies...
1 medium Onion cut in small cubes
1 lb Ground Meat
1 lb Zucchini (green squash)
Salt
Pepper
Cumin
Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Take 1 Tablespoon of EVOO and heat your squash over medium heat until you start to see them get a little soft and the liquid start to come out from it.... once most the liquid is out put in a strainer and set aside,
Take the same skillet and put another 2 Tablespoons of EVOO in it and saute your onion, then add ground meat, salt, pepper, cumin... brown until no longer pink...
Next take a 9X13 baking dish and layer your squash and then ground meat... (you can add slices of gouda cheese or some cheddar cheese to the top, but you don't have to)
Back 375F for 30-40 mins... The squash will be so yummy!!! If you put cheese on top, back until the cheese is a little dark...
For me the main idea of learning to eat veggies is having them cooked with the meat...
Chicken with onion and green beans or onion, mushrooms and scallions
Lamb with Pumpkin, brussel sprouts, onion, tomatoe, squash, turnips...
Ground meat with onion and squash, or onion and cabbage
I also use different spices but mainly salt, pepper, paparika, ginger, cumin, garlic, parsley, and celantro...
Just start cooking and I'm sure your going to find something you like.
