Default Autumn fish tagine

I came across this wonderful recipe via the latest eat the seasons newsletter, which featured Butternut Squash, and thought that it would be great for the South Beach woe.

Autumn fish tagine


Depending which Phase you are on, you could serve it with some cous cous or rice, as suggested. However, I think that I'd probably serve it with pak choi or broccoli (or both!).

Default Demi’s Creamy Cauliflower Soup

This is a favourite of mine once the weather starts getting colder. I often take some to work in a flask/thermos to have for lunch.


Demi’s Creamy Cauliflower Soup

Serves 4

1 onion, diced
1 tbsp tarragon (dried)
2 garlic cloves, chopped
1 cauliflower, cut into small florets
2 pints (1.2 litres/5 cups) chicken or vegetable stock
2 tbsp chopped fresh chives


Cook the onion in a little of the stock in a large saucepan until it has softened. Add the garlic and cook for another 2 minutes, and then add the tarragon and mix well. Pour in the rest of the stock, and bring to the boil. Add the cauliflower florets, turn the heat right down (to a simmer), cover, and then leave to cook for 15 minutes or until the cauliflower is soft. Leave to cool for 5 minutes.

Blitz in a blender or with a hand blender. Pour into bowls and sprinkle with the chopped chives.

Default Ricotta Cheesecake With Lemon Drizzle and Pine Nuts

From today's South Beach (free edition) email newsletter:


Sticking with your healthy eating program while dining with friends and family during festive occasions just became a whole lot more fun! The South Beach Diet® Parties & Holidays Cookbook is the new, must-have reference from Dr. Arthur Agatston, preventive cardiologist and author of The South Beach Diet®.

The Parties & Holidays Cookbook is designed to help you stay on track during the upcoming holiday season as well as celebrations throughout the year.

Here's a sample recipe from the book:




Ricotta Cheesecake With Lemon Drizzle and Pine Nuts

Phase 1

Serves 12

Prep Time: 10 Minutes
Cook Time: 1 hour 20 minutes
Chill Time: 4 hours or overnight


This traditional Italian dessert is refreshingly light and delicately citrusy. You'll find it's quite unlike our dense, creamy American cheesecake, but no less delicious.

Ingredients:
3 tablespoons pine nuts
6 large eggs, separated
3/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/3 cup plus 1 teaspoon granular sugar substitute
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 (32-once) container part-skim ricotta cheese
1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

Instructions:
Position rack in middle of oven and heat oven to 275°F. Lightly coat a 9-inch springform pan with cooking spray. Spread nuts on baking sheet and toast until lightly golden, about 10 minutes. Cool. Increase oven to 325°F.

In a large metal bowl, with an electric mixer at high speed, beat egg whites until frothy, about 1 minute. Add cream of tartar and continue to beat until stiff peaks form, about 3 minutes more. Set aside.

In a separate large bowl, beat egg yolks, 1/3 cup of the sugar substitute, and vanilla for 1 minute. Add ricotta and zest, and beat on high until smooth.

Gently fold 1/3 of the whites into the yolk mixture, then add the rest of the whites and gently fold until well combined. Pour batter into pan, place pan on baking sheet, and bake until cake is golden and mostly set, about 1 hour 10 minutes. Remove cake from oven and cool on a rack for 20 minutes.

Combine lemon juice and remaining 1 teaspoon sugar substitute in a saucepan; bring to a simmer over low heat. Remove from heat and gently brush the surface of the cooled cake with 2/3 of the warm lemon mixture; drizzle the remaining mixture into the cracks. Sprinkle the top with pine nuts.

Cool cake completely, then run a knife around the edge before releasing from pan. Chill, loosely covered, for 4 hours or overnight. Serve chilled.

Default Braised Lamb with Flageolet Beans



Braised Lamb with Flageolet Beans is not only a favourite Delia Smith recipe of mine, it's also suitable for all phases of South Beach - just leave out the flour.

I just put all the ingredients into my crockpot and leave it to cook very slowly overnight. I turn it off in the morning, and then reheat for dinner ~ a great tip from Delia, casseroles improve if they are made ahead, cooled, refridgerated and then gently re-heated when you are ready to eat.

Default Some great vegetable dishes

I saw this article Down to earth in the Sunday Times yesterday, and thought that it would be a good idea to link to it from the SB recipe thread as there are some really good veggie recipes.

The recipes featured are:

CARROT, SWEDE (Rutabaga) AND SAVOY CABBAGE
BABA GHANOUSH
CELERIAC AND RED CABBAGE
SWEET POTATO, GINGER AND CHILLI
SPINACH AND COTTAGE CHEESE FRITTERS
ROAST FENNEL WITH OLIVE AND ORANGE STUFFING


The first four recipes are suitable for South Beach - just remember to substitute olive oil for the butter where mentioned.

I'm sure that the Spinach Fritters can easily be made without the flour and polenta to make them SB friendly. As for the Fennel, either use wholegrain bread crumbs (or other, as per the Phase II food list), or ommit them altogether and just use the remaining ingredients for the stuffing.

The recipes may also inspire you to improvise and perhaps use other veggies or ingredients that take your fancy

Default Heavenly Lemon Mousse

From today's South Beach (free edition) email newsletter:


Heavenly Lemon Mousse

Phase 1

Makes 6 servings (1/2 cup each)

Making mousse is not hard, but you do have to watch the mixture carefully as it cooks, since it thickens quickly. Phase 2 and 3 diners can top with fresh seasonal berries.

Ingredients:
6 egg yolks
2 whole eggs
3/4 cup Splenda® or sugar substitute
1 tablespoon lemon peel (from 1 large lemon)
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice (from 2 lemons)
1 1/2 cups South Beach Diet®-approved whipped topping

Instructions:
1. In medium stainless steel saucepan over medium heat, combine yolks, whole eggs, Splenda®, peel, and juice. Cook 4 minutes, whisking constantly, until thickened to a custard consistency.

2. Remove from heat; pour into medium bowl and refrigerate until cold (about 30 minutes). Just before serving, fold in whipped topping until combined and lightened. Spoon into serving bowls.

Default Couscous With Toasted Pistachios

From today's South Beach (free edition) email newsletter:


Entertaining friends and loved ones presents certain challenges, from deciding on a menu to timing all of the elements on party day. Fortunately, you won't have to struggle with the food if you're following the South Beach Diet® because the South Beach Diet® emphasizes many party favorites, such as nuts, reduced-fat cheese, whole-grain crackers, and fruits and vegetables. Entrees are also a snap, since lean proteins (like skinless poultry, fish, and lean beef) are fine for all Phases of the program.

The South Beach Diet® Parties & Holidays Cookbook makes it easier than ever to enjoy your favorite celebratory dishes while eating the South Beach Diet® way. Along with nutritious and delicious menus for major holidays like Thanksgiving, Christmas, Hanukkah, and New Year's, you'll also find menus and recipes appropriate for any celebration throughout the year.

Here's a sample recipe from the book:



Couscous With Toasted Pistachios

Phase 2

Makes six 1/2-cup servings

Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes

Buttery and slightly sweet, toasted pistachios team up well with couscous in this delicious side dish. The nuts also add significant nutritional value, as they are rich in fiber, thiamin, vitamin E, and iron.

1/3 cup shelled, unsalted pistachio nuts
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 cup minced red onion
1 1/4 cups whole-wheat couscous
1 3/4 cups boiling water
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon salt
Freshly ground black pepper

Heat oven to 275°F. Spread pistachios on a baking sheet and bake until fragrant and lightly toasted, about 8 minutes. Transfer nuts to a cutting board to cool. When cool, roughly chop nuts and set aside.

Heat oil in a medium nonstick saucepan over medium-high heat. Add onion, reduce heat to low, and cook until softened, about 4 minutes. Add couscous, stir to combine, and remove from heat.

Pour the boiling water over couscous, stir, cover, and let steam for 7 minutes. Remove cover and fluff couscous with a fork. Stir in pistachios, lemon juice, and salt. Season generously with pepper and serve hot.
