Hello all,
I usually lurk because I am trying to adjust my diet to low fat (not ready
for fat free yet!), and I am still have a lot to learn! However, I think I can
jump in and answer two of the questions recently posted - makes me
feel like I can contribute at least a bit to this group...
Pesto is made with finely chopped greens (usually basil and/or spinach)
and, if it is traditional, it has loads of olive oil and parmesan cheese in it.
Very High Fat!!! Run! Run!
I use phyllo leaves, and instead of slathering it in butter I give each sheet
a quick spray with a Pam-type product. The leaves stay separated and
flaky, but it's not dripping with fat. Works for me!
