Every once in a while I find it useful to purge my kitchen of things that I fear will expire. I don't like wasting food if I can avoid it. This tendency leads to some interesting creations. This one is full of veggies and is made delicious by adding lots of cheese that melts right into it. The cheese and veggie combo is interesting. This is surprisingly filling! You can put it into a wrap or over rice (calorie info for both listed). I also seem to be on a curry kick...hmm. It's working so far!
Ingredients:
-1 cup chopped carrots
-1/2 cucumber
-1 small zucchini (optional)
-1/4 large onion
-1 tsp minced garlic
-1 tsp curry powder
-1/4 cup fat free ricotta
-1/4 cup part skim mozzarella
Directions:
-Preheat oven at 350
-Steam carrots
-Combine carrots, cucumber, ricotta, onion, garlic, curry, (zucchini if you have it)
-Spread in lightly sprayed oven-safe dish
-Sprinkle with mozzarella
-Cook for 20 minutes or until cheese is fully melted
-Eat like this or place in a wrap
Nutrition: This entire concoction (including both wrap and zucchini) is only 337 calories. Take out the wrap and zucchini and you're down to 237 calories.
As usual, this recipe is open for adjustment. You can add in your own veggies/spices. If the cheese doesn't work for you, take it out or use a different kind. You can put it over a serving of rice for 467 calories. It's completely up to you!
