Fried Green Tomatoes and Zucchini
|
Contributed
by:
Susan P.
Ingredients:
- Spray
Olive Oil
- 1 1/2
Tablespoons Reduced Fat Parmesan Cheese
- Salt
and Fresh Ground Pepper to taste
- 2
green tomatoes, sliced thin
- 1
medium zucchini or portion of a large one, sliced thin
- 1
medium crookneck squash or portion of a large yellow zucchini or
crookneck, sliced thin
Directions:
-
Warm non-stick skillet over medium-low heat.
-
Place the sliced tomatoes in a container with the
Parmesan Cheese and salt and pepper.
-
Place lid on container and shake to coat both sides of
the tomato slices.
-
Add Spray Olive Oil to skillet and place tomato slices
in skillet and cook about 3 minutes on each side adding
salt and pepper if needed.
-
Remove tomatoes. Run some water over the sliced squash
in a colander, shake "dry." ( This moisture is needed to
help the cheese stick to the zucchini.)
-
Toss the squash and zucchini with the remaining Parmesan
and lightly oil the pan again with spray oil to
"stir-fry" the squash (they won't take as long).
Since
it takes nearly 5 cups of zucchini to make one block of
carbohydrate, and each 2 tomatoes equals one carb, you can play
with the portions or add other veggies to the mix like onions or
bell peppers. I LOVE the taste of fried green tomatoes, so this
inspiration just made my summer! Hope you enjoy it, too.
