Tuesday Recipes
In the next week or two, I'm going to be cutting the number of recipes in Diabetic Delights to three recipes a day so that readers are not overwhelmed. There may be some days when I post one particular type of recipe, like cookies at holiday time, or soups or stews when the weather starts to cool. But otherwise, I'll try posting a main meal component - whether meat-based or vegetarian - along with possibly a side and dessert. We'll see how it goes. Let me know whether you like (or hate) the idea. In the meantime, here are today's six recipes. Enjoy!
ZUCCHINI ROLL-UPS WITH ROASTED RED PEPPER AND FETA CHEESE
Tender, grilled zucchini makes a delicious wrapper for crisp, colorful vegetables, fresh herbs and a creamy feta spread – all rolled into beautiful, bite-sized bundles. It is a true veggie celebration with grilled, roasted and fresh produce in each mouthwatering bite.
Yield: 8 servings (24 roll-ups).
Serving size: 3 roll-ups.
Photo and recipe: http://diabeticgourmet.com/recipes/html/1215.shtml
Ingredients
5 medium zucchini (about 8 oz each), cut lengthwise into 1/4-inch slices*
1 red, orange or yellow bell pepper, cut in half and seeded
1/2 medium red bell pepper, roasted and peeled, or use jarred*
2 Tbsp canola oil
1/3 cup crumbled feta cheese
1 Tbsp lemon juice
1/8 tsp freshly ground black pepper, plus more to taste
2 cups baby arugula leaves (2 oz lightly packed)
1/3 cup lightly packed fresh basil leaves
toothpicks
Directions
Preheat grill or grill pan over medium heat.
Set aside outermost slices of zucchini for another use.
Brush inner slices of zucchini and bell pepper halves with canola oil on both sides. Grill until just tender, about 3 minutes per side. Remove from grill to cool and slice pepper halves into thin strips. Zucchini and pepper may be made day ahead and stored in airtight container in refrigerator.
In small bowl of food processor or mini-processor, place roasted red pepper, feta cheese and lemon juice. Process until mixture reaches spreadable consistency. It will not become completely smooth. Stir in black pepper.
Spread about 3/4 tsp of feta mixture onto zucchini slice. Place a few slices of bell pepper about 1/2 inch from end of zucchini slice, along with a few arugula leaves and one small or half of large basil leaf. Roll up and insert toothpick to hold roll. Repeat with rest of zucchini slices.
Serve immediately or store in airtight container in refrigerator for up to one day. Allow to come to room temperature before serving.
* Tips: Five medium zucchini yields just the right number of slices. Buy an extra zucchini if you would like to have some room for error. You can use jarred roasted red pepper instead of preparing your own but be sure to rinse and drain it really well to avoid extra liquid in the spread.

ZUCCHINI ROLL-UPS WITH ROASTED RED PEPPER AND FETA CHEESE
Tender, grilled zucchini makes a delicious wrapper for crisp, colorful vegetables, fresh herbs and a creamy feta spread – all rolled into beautiful, bite-sized bundles. It is a true veggie celebration with grilled, roasted and fresh produce in each mouthwatering bite.
Yield: 8 servings (24 roll-ups).
Serving size: 3 roll-ups.
Photo and recipe: http://diabeticgourmet.com/recipes/html/1215.shtml
Ingredients
5 medium zucchini (about 8 oz each), cut lengthwise into 1/4-inch slices*
1 red, orange or yellow bell pepper, cut in half and seeded
1/2 medium red bell pepper, roasted and peeled, or use jarred*
2 Tbsp canola oil
1/3 cup crumbled feta cheese
1 Tbsp lemon juice
1/8 tsp freshly ground black pepper, plus more to taste
2 cups baby arugula leaves (2 oz lightly packed)
1/3 cup lightly packed fresh basil leaves
toothpicks
Directions
Preheat grill or grill pan over medium heat.
Set aside outermost slices of zucchini for another use.
Brush inner slices of zucchini and bell pepper halves with canola oil on both sides. Grill until just tender, about 3 minutes per side. Remove from grill to cool and slice pepper halves into thin strips. Zucchini and pepper may be made day ahead and stored in airtight container in refrigerator.
In small bowl of food processor or mini-processor, place roasted red pepper, feta cheese and lemon juice. Process until mixture reaches spreadable consistency. It will not become completely smooth. Stir in black pepper.
Spread about 3/4 tsp of feta mixture onto zucchini slice. Place a few slices of bell pepper about 1/2 inch from end of zucchini slice, along with a few arugula leaves and one small or half of large basil leaf. Roll up and insert toothpick to hold roll. Repeat with rest of zucchini slices.
Serve immediately or store in airtight container in refrigerator for up to one day. Allow to come to room temperature before serving.
* Tips: Five medium zucchini yields just the right number of slices. Buy an extra zucchini if you would like to have some room for error. You can use jarred roasted red pepper instead of preparing your own but be sure to rinse and drain it really well to avoid extra liquid in the spread.
