Broccoli & Shitake

















Here is a simple dish we whipped up with fresh broccoli, shitake mushrooms, peppers and garlic. Makes enough for a side dish.

Ingredients:

3 cups of broccoli florets
1 cup green pepper slices
2 cloves of garlic
4-5 shitake mushrooms ( soak these overnight prior to grilling)
1-2 TBS olive oil.


Directions
1. rinse and wipe down shitake mushrooms and then slice.
2. Mix veggies with olive oil and 1-2 microplaned garlic cloves. Mine were small so I used two.
3. Wrap veggies in foil and then put on grill until tender but not mushy.

Enjoy.

This is not exactly low fat but it is low-carb and always yummy. You can make them in the oven but on a hot summer day - just wrap them in foil and grill them.

Ingredients:

1 carton of white button mushrooms ( about 17-18)
1/2 cup of goat cheese
1/2 tsp of pesto
9 slice of prosciutto

Directions:

1. Clean mushrooms and pull off stems
2. Mix goat cheese with pesto.
3. Stuff goat cheese mixture into mushrooms.
4. Cut prosciutto slices in half length wise
5. Wrap around the mushrooms.
6.  Put mushrooms side by side on aluminum foil and then wrap up tight.
7. Grill on indirect heat until cheese is bubbly. Don't turn them over. lol.

Enjoy!
