--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  2 1/4           cups  fresh basil leaves
     1/4           cup  toasted walnuts

Place the basil in a food processor or blender.
Process until finely chopped. Add the  walnuts, scallions, lemon juice, garlic and pepper.                         Process with on/off pulses until the walnuts are finely chopped.

With the motor running, gradually add the broth and Parmesan, blending until well-mixed.

with 3/4 cup fresh Italian parsley, 3/4 cup fresh dill and 3/4 cup fresh
basil leaves. Or, substitute any available fresh herbs. Just make sure
that amounts stay the same.

(Weight-Watchers-Recipes) Vietnamese Flavored Fish Sauce - 1 pt plus

 

                      
* Exported from MasterCook *

                      Vietnamese Flavored Fish Sauce

Recipe By     :
Serving Size  : 24    Preparation Time :0:00
Categories    : LowCal (Less than 300 cals)     LowerCarbs
                LowFat (Less than 30%)          Seafood

  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
     1/2           cup  fish sauce
     1/3           cup  sugar
     1/4           cup  distilled white vinegar -- or freshly squeezed lemon juice
  2                     garlic cloves -- minced
  1                     Thai chiles -- or 2 chiles, stemmed and minced

In a small bowl, combine the fish sauce, sugar, vinegar or lemon juice,
and 1/2 cup water and stir until the sugar has dissolved. Add the garlic
and chiles and stir to combine. Use immediately, or refrigerate for up to
1 week if made with vinegar or up to 2 days if made with lemon juice.

Makes 1 1/2 cups (24 one-tablespoon servings)

AuthorNote: On its own, fish sauce is an assertive condiment. But blended
with water, sugar, and an acidic element, it becomes a mellow dipping
sauce, despite the addition of chiles and garlic. This sauce is frequently
served alongside fried items and is also used as a salad dressing.

(Weight-Watchers-Recipes) South American Quinoa Chowder - Chupe de Quinua- 7 pts plus; 26g Carbohydrate; 5g Dietary Fiber

 

                     
* Exported from MasterCook *
 
             South American Quinoa Chowder - Chupe de Quinua
 
Recipe By     :The Art of South American Cooker by Rojas-Lombardi
Serving Size  : 7     Preparation Time :0:00
Categories    : LowCal (Less than 300 cals)     LowerCarbs
                Veggie
 
  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  1 1/4           cups  raw quinoa -- about 8 ounces
  2        Tablespoons  olive oil
  1              large  garlic clove -- peeled and minced
  1                     jalapeno pepper -- seeded and minced
     1/4      teaspoon  ground cumin
     1/8      teaspoon  ground white pepper
  1         Tablespoon  coarse salt
     1/2         pound  potatoes -- peeled and cut in 1/4" dice
  8             ounces  feta -- cut into 1/4-inch dice
     1/2         pound  fresh spinach leaves -- shredded about 1/4-inch thick
  1                     hard boiled egg -- or 2, sliced
 
Rinse the quinoa in a strainer under running cold water. In a saucepan,
combine the rinsed quinoa with 6 cups of cold water and bring to a boil
over high heat, stirring now and then. Lower the heat and simmer for 10
minutes, or until the quinoa is tender. Remove from the heat, pour through
a strainer, and let drain thoroughly. Set aside.
 
In a saucepan, heat the olive oil over low heat. Add the garlic and hot
pepper and saute, stirring, for just a second or two. Do not let the
garlic brown. Add the cumin, pepper, salt, and 5 cups of water and bring
to a boil. Add the cooked quinoa and the diced potatoes and cook over
medium heat for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are done.
 
Stir in the cheese and continue to cook for a few seconds, then fold in
the shredded spinach leaves. Correct the seasoning with salt to taste and
serve hot, garnished with slices of hard-boiled eggs.
 
Serves 6 to 8
 
VARIATIONS:
BEET AND QUINOA SOUP (Sopa de betterraga quinua) - Substitute 1/2 pound
beets for the potatoes. Peel and cut them into 1/4-inch cubes and add them
in Step 2. They will take a few minutes longer to cook than potatoes.
Already-cooked beets may be added too.
 
FAVA BEAN AND QUINOA SOUP (Sopa de quinua al estilo huancayo) - Shell and
peel 1 to 1 1/2 pounds of fava beans. Substitute them for the potatoes in
Step 2.
 
AuthorNote: Quinoa has a good nutritional profile, it is high in protein
and other nutrients. It is also exceedingly versatile in the kitchen. It
is good by itself and goes well with other foods. A handful of quinoa
added to an ordinary vegetable or [favorite] soup - or any soup for that
matter - makes it something special.
