My nutririon class is going to have a potluck in a few weeks and it's based on the Mediterrarian (spelling?) diet. Is there anyone who is on that diet or who is familliar on that diet that can help me with recipe ideas or links that can get me in the right direction? All I can come up with is pita bred. Any help would do. Thanks!
And here is the pyramid if you don't know much about the Mediterrarian diet.
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 onions, thinly sliced
2 bunches Swiss chard, trimmed and chopped (about 14 cups but it cooks down a lot)
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 (14 1/2-oz) can diced tomatoes with juices
1/4 cup dry white wine (good enough to drink)
1/4 teaspoon dried crushed red pepper flakes
Salt and pepper
8 ounces whole-wheat spaghetti
1/4 cup pitted kalamata olives, coarsely chopped
2 tablespoons freshly grated Pecorino cheese
2 tablespoons toasted pine nuts
Heat the oil in a heavy large frying pan over medium heat. Add the onions and saute until tender. Add the chard and saute until it wilts, about 2 minutes. Add garlic and saute about 1 minute. Stir in the tomatoes (with their juices), wine, and red pepper flakes. Bring to a simmer. Cover and simmer until the tomatoes begin to break down and the chard is very tender, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes. Add salt and pepper to chard to taste.
At the same time, boil water and cook spaghetti until Al Dente. Combine the spaghetti with the chard mixture.
Transfer the pasta to serving bowls. Sprinkle the olives, cheese, and pine nuts
You can add whatever extras you like (i.e. chicken) to make it to your liking.
In case you don't know, Swiss Chard is a variation of spinach (imagine purple steemed spinach) with a slight bite to it.
Pecorino cheese is a Tuscan cheese made from goats milk. It comes in two forms, Pecorino Romano and Pecorino Sardo. Sardo has a more bitter taste to it.
Any help would do. Thanks!
