Easy Ratatouille
As promised here is that recipe I mentioned that would go well with my chicken and sauce recipe from a couple posts ago.
Phase 1
Prep: 10 Minutes Cook: 28 Minutes
1 Large eggplant, cut into bite-sized pieces
1 Medium red pepper, cut into 1/2-inch-wide strips, then cut crosswise in half
1 Medium onion, cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices
1 Medium zucchini, cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices
1/4 Cup light italian dressing
1 Can low-sodium diced tomatoes, undrained
1/2 cup 2% Milk Shredded Reduced Fat Mozzarella Cheese
2 Tbsp. 100% Grated Parmesan Cheese
MIX eggplant, red pepper, onion, zuchini and dressing in large skillet; cook and stir on medium-high heat 6 to 8 minutes or until vegetables are tender and lightly browned.
ADD tomatoes; cook 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
TOP with cheeses; cover. Cook an additional 5 minutes or until cheese is melted.
Makes 8 servings, about 1 cup each.
Now, My mom made this, and she doesn't like zucchini, so she subbed in Yellow Squash. Which is fine because you can have that. Now I had never touched eggplant prior, on the basis that it was purple and had a weird name and was a veggie. But, beggers can't be choosers, so I tried it, and I really liked it in this. The other flavors really accented it and made it sweet almost. The pepper (mom used Green instead) gave just a little spice. All in all it was very very good.
If people are interested in more fun South Beach Diet recipes that are yummy and you don't have to be on the diet to eat let me know and I'll keep giving you them as I come across ones I love. There's a Grilled Pork Chop one in particular that's like heaven on a fork.
Moving on... was anyone else shocked that Constantine went home last night? Yeah, I hope so. I'm saddened by America. Anthony and Scott deserved to go long before Constantine... well, the two consecutive weeks.
In a perfect world it'd have gone Scott, Anthony, Constantine, Vonzell, and left Bo and Carrie as the top 2. And I honestly can't choose between the two of them.
