THERE’S ONE FOOD trend I’m keen on and think you may be, too. It’s the REPLACING OF STARCHY CARBS with vegetables at some mealtimes (and we don’t just mean courgetti). That’s because getting your five-a-day can be a challenge, even for dietitians, and eating more vegetables can HELP WITH WEIGHT LOSS.
At an event last month to celebrate the Dutch pepper season (spring to late summer), dietitian Lucy Jones shared ideas for REPLACING WHITE REFINED CARBS with roasted PEPPERS: halving them to use as burger ‘buns’; slicing them to make cannelloni ‘tubes’; and cutting into triangles to make ‘tortilla chips’ for nachos.
