| Dishes flavorful |
THE DILEMMA you want to make dishes more flavorful but you
know that using globs of butter and generous glugs of oil can do you more harm
than good. What's a good alternative to make dishes tasty without adding too
much fat
WHAT TO DO Turn to herbs and spices instead! Use different
combinations to amp up the flavor of your dishes. Create spice rubs to use for
grilling or baking meat and poultry. If you opt to pan-fry, be mindful of the
amount of oil you use, Instead of deep-frying meat chops or chicken, sprinkle
it with rosemary, thyme, salt and pepper then pop it in the oven or fry it in
nonstick pan with less than a tablespoon of oil, Try steaming fish in parchment
paper parcels or foil packets with herbs, spices and aromatics. Herbs and
spices have medicinal properties, too. Turmeric is known for its
anti-inflammatory properties, rosemary stimulates the immune system, and thyme
is used to cure coughs and colds
