Fresh Recipe: Eggplant and Tomato Zoodles

Zoodles and more Zoodles –  Have you tried Zoodles?  I think I just like saying it – zoodles.  Okay seriously, I am in love with Tupperware’s Spiralizer and all that it can do. So for Fresh Tip Tuesday this week we made zoodles with grilled eggplant and a yummy grilled tomato sauce.  This one has a few steps and your microwave is in action, but the results were amazing and still less than 25 mins!  So fresh and healthy.  Try it out and let me know what you think!
Eggplant and Tomato Zoodles
Ingredients
1 small eggplant, peeled and sliced into 1/2″ cubes
1 medium zucchini, ends cut off, and cut in half
1/3 cup olive oil, plus a few tablespoons to drizzle
1 tsp italian herb seasoning
 2 cups (1 pint) cherry tomatoes
 1/4 onion (I prefer sweet)
salt and pepper
 6-10 leaves fresh basil
 Balsamic reduction (optional)

 

Directions
1) Start making the sauce.  Drizzle the cherry tomatoes with olive oil and a dash of salt, then cook for 8 mins in the MicroPro Grill.  Remove from microwave and let cool for 3 mins.

2) While it is cooking, assemble Fusion Master® Spiralizer fitted with the thin noodle blade and first front of zucchini. Turn handle until fully spiralized. Insert 2nd half and repeat. Put aside.

3) Transfer tomatoes to PowerChef System.  Add basil, onion and 1/3 cup olive oil, along with italian herb seasoning.  Pull cord 10 times til its blended but still chunky.

4) While the grill is still warm, add eggplant drizzled with some olive oil and sprinkle a little salt and pepper. Cook in MicroPro Grill for 8 mins.

5) Transfer zoodles to the base of the Smart Multicooker and toss with the tomato sauce. Microwave for 3-5 mins.

6) Add grilled eggplant to zoodles, toss and serve.  Top with fresh grated parmesan cheese and (optional) a basalmic reduction.  So yummy and so good for you!

ENJOY!!!!

Fresh Recipe: BBQ Jackfruit Sliders

Jackfruit is an exotic fruit grown in tropical regions of the world and a great vegan meat substitute.  It contains some of almost every vitamin and mineral that you need, as well as a decent amount of fiber and shown to help fight cancer.  Jackfruit is also shown to help control blood sugar which is why this SUPERFOOD is my Fresh Pick for this week’s Fresh Tip Tuesday.  I made a version of this BBQ Jackfruit Sliders – IE the BBQ Chicken Sliders – in the pressure cooker on WBTV and it had rave reviews.

Try it out and let me know what you think 🙂

BBQ Jackfruit Sliders

¾ cup ketchup
½ cup apple cider vinegar

  1.  In base of Microwave Pressure Cooker, stir together all ingredients except for the Jackfruit.
  2. Submerge chunks into sauce until they are covered in liquid. Seal and microwave on high power 10 minutes.
