Gluten and dairy free quinoa pancakes--lots of protein and a great snack!
This is a quick recipe we use for leftover cooked or baked chicken breast. If using raw boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cube it and cook for 20 minutes.
This recipe is for 5 arepas. This arepas can be filled with cheese slices, ham slices, scrambled eggs,meat (shredded), tuna etc. Ech arepa has only 110 calories, doesn't have any fat calories other than the corn oil that you need to greased the griddle where you are going to cook them. If you choose to fry them instead of cooking on the griddle, then Arepas will be a fatty meal.
Don't forget that to the calories of the Arepa , you will need to add the calories of the filling you choose to accompany with.
If you choose Tuna, you will find that is a really light meal!!
Arepas are delicious!! Can be eaten for breakfast or for dinner.
Scalloped potatoes with that beautifully "nutty" Gruyere cheese flavor. The onions can be considered optional, but really blend well with the other flavors. This is an updated recipe from a cooking magazine that I read in 1998.
This is a great side dish. It can be made very quickly. Also, you can make a big batch and eat out of it for a whole week.
When I switched from white rice to brown rice, I found brown rice cooked by itself was very bland. So I decided to add a few things to it to perk it up. The dish is very cook friendly, we don't find it overly spicy with the cayenne pepper but if you don't like spicy food just use black pepper. Also if you don't have chicken broth, you can use just water or other broths, beef or vegetable. This is very good as a side for chicken, beef, or fish, we like it as a side with stir-fry veggies, just add some soya sauce to it.
