Weight Loss Forum / General Topics / August 2007Asian Roasted Onions and Peppers
Here is an easy Asian dish. Its main ingredients are onions and bell pepper including some seasoning. It has 172 calories/serving. Ingredients 3 onions 2 bell peppers (any colors) 3 tablespoons vegetable oil 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil 1 teaspoon soy sauce 1 teaspoon oyster sauce 1/8 teaspoon ground coriander 1/8 teaspoon turmeric teaspoon garlic powder 1/8 teaspoon red chili reppers, chopped Preparation Preheat oven to 200C/400 F. Peel the onion and cut into 8 wedges and place in a large bowl. Cut the peppers in half, remove the stem, seeds and white pith. Cut into (approx.) 1" pieces and add to the bowl with the onions. In another small bowl, mix the next 7 ingredients (from veggie oil to garlic powder). Add chili peppers, if using. Pour the spicy mix over the veggies and mix until well coated. Tip out onto a baking sheet and spread the veggies out. Bake for 30-40 minutes until tender. Toss the veggies around 2 or 3 times while cooking. Yield: 4 servings.

[quoted text clipped - 53 lines] > > Healthy and easy recipe for your good health in busy days:www.healthy-easy-cooking.com It's OK, but it would be much better and probably healthier if you left out the oils and soy sauce and just ate the vegetables, I think. That's what I do anyway. dkw There's really not much oil in the whole thing. How much oil could there be in a single serving? And don't we need some fat in our diet? > There's really not much oil in the whole thing. How much oil could there be > in a single serving? And don't we need some fat in our diet? Very funny. No there isn't much, but the problem with fat is that it is highly concentrated....it's all energy. There is no water, no fiber...nothing except 9 cal per gram. You don't have to add fat to get fat in your diet. There is fat in the vegetables you used. There is enough fat in fruits and vegetables and grains to give you the essential fats and more. It is almost impossible to eat fewer than 10% fat (compared to total calories) if you eat almost anything even if it is listed as 0 fat. Time will tell if you need to add fat to your diet but I don't think you need to. I know it tastes really good, and people do not want to hear that it might not be good for them because it is too drastic a diet change for most people to go to a low-fat diet. Also, many and perhaps yourself, have really looked into it and believe that you should eat a higher fat diet. The govt. agrees and says up to 30% of your diet can be fat. They do not say that that is good for you though and many people, such as Dean Ornish recommend keeping the diet very low in fat...under 10%. That's the diet I follow. It works really well for me anyway. dkw > There's really not much oil in the whole thing. How much oil could there be > in a single serving? And don't we need some fat in our diet? Oh ya, the way to figure the percent of fat (the govt. says no more than 30% fat), you should eat, you have to take fat calories and divide that by the total calories. In this case, that is 124/172=0.72 and that means 72% of the calories come from fat, making this a very high fat dish. A Big Mac with cheese is 50% fat by contrast. While the serving size is modest and you could make up for this indulgence, people watching their weight and fat content need to be aware of fat content and what the numbers mean. PS: the 13.7g. of fat in this one serving is pushing the upper limit of what low-fat diets recommend for the entire day. dkw I still say that there's very little fat in this recipe. And the fat makes it much more palatable and satisfying. In the whole, it's a very healthy dish. > I still say that there's very little fat in this recipe.

I like Big Macs, double quarter pounders with cheese, french fries, peanut butter, and Dairy Queen butterscotch sundaes, but I don't eat them. If the dish was low calorie I would be interested....and if you leave out the oil, it is. dkw |
