Marinating these chicken kebabs all day or overnight in a simple blend of yogurt and lemon juice makes them succulent and juicy, but the active cooking time is only about half an hour, so they're a great quick dinner. Brightly coloured turmeric is a potent antioxidant and a traditional Ayurvedic remedy for allergies. For a nutritious side, thread small pickling onions, red-pepper chunks, and mushrooms on a skewer and brush with olive oil to grill alongside the chicken. Then toss some halved, pitted fresh peaches on the grill for dessert.

Fat Free Stuffed Tomatoes

Yield: 4 servings



      8                 tomatoes

    200 gms        red lentils or similar.

      1                 onion (cut in thin strips)

      1                 carrot (diced)

      1                 celery stick (diced)

      1                 cube of vegetable flavour

      1 pinch        ground Cummin

     3 tbsp         broth or balsamic vinegar or wine, etc for "sauteeing"

      3 tbsp         bread crumbs

      1 sprig        fresh coriander or substitute

      1 pinch       Salt/pepper (to taste/optional)



Boil lentils (salt to taste). Put vegetable cube in and boil for 15   minutes. At the same time, saute the onion. When brown add carrot, celery and cook by moving the mix with a spoon (I use a wooden spoon). Add red lentils, bread crumbs and incorporate with vegetables. At this point is a good idea to test for taste with salt, pepper and cummin. At the end, add coriander, mix and put aside.

 

Cut the top of tomatoes and remove core, ( I save it to use as a sandwich   spread), drain juice and fill them with stuffing. Bake for 45 min on Low.


Bon apetit!!!
