If you are health conscious, then drop the dressing and go for olive oil instead.

Vegetarian eating - where to get iron from your food recipes

Vegetarians tend to suffer from a lack of iron in their food, because they are not getting all the minerals and nutrients found in meats. However, there are some foods that are able to replenish this lack. In a way, you need to be cooking the right foods so that you can get delicious and healthy food recipes for yourself.

Beans are great sources of iron and proteins. They are packed with natural goodness, and you can get a balanced diet out of them. Go for navy beans, soya beans, chick peas, red beans, etc. They can be really delicious, especially if you prepare them for desserts.

Go for vegetables such as broccoli, spinach and parsley. They are rich in iron and other minerals. Fruits such as watermelons, raisins and pumpkin are excellent sources of iron as well.

If you wish to stay healthy, you need a lot of iron, since our body cannot produce them on our own. However, too much iron can make you susceptible to bacteria, so watch what you eat as well!

How to Saute Vegetables

We all love the delicious sauteed vegetables offered in restaurants. They are colourful, full of flavour, and tender as well. Sauteing is the technique of cooking over a high heat to concentrate the flavour of your food. The high heat evaporates the water inside and caramelizes them just enough to make them taste good outside and tender on the inside. A good saute always uses some kind of fat during cooking. It can either be butter, oil or animal fats. It adds flavour as well.

Tossing should be done only with small vegetable pieces. Larger pieces of potato, eggplant, or zucchini can be sauteed in a single layer until they are brown, and then turned carefully with tongs. If you are using a watery vegetable like tomatoes, you may want to try coating them with flour to help absorb the extra moisture. A good saute pan will have a heavy bottom to allow for even distribution of the heat. Prepare your vegetables well before chopping them up. Wash them thoroughly and pat them dry. Vegetables that work well in a saute include broccoli, bell peppers, onions, green beans, cauliflower, carrots, celery, mushrooms, potatoes, sweet potatoes, eggplant, etc.

Recipe for Vegetable Saute

What You Need:

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon garlic, minced
• 4 broccoli florets, chopped
• 1/2 zucchini, chopped
• 1/2 yellow summer squash, chopped
• 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1/2 red bell pepper, chopped
• 1/2 yellow bell pepper, chopped
• 6 cremini mushrooms, chopped
• 2 tablespoons chicken stock

Heat a large saute pan over high heat. Add the olive oil and let it warm. Add the garlic and saute for about half a minute, stirring to prevent burning. Add the rest of the chopped vegetables and let them cook until they just begin to wilt; about 2 minutes. Add your oregano, chicken stock, and soy sauce, stirring well to incorporate them into the mixture. Cook until the vegetables are just tender; about 3 minutes. Do not overcook them. Remove the pan from the heat and serve with whatever sauce is in the pan.

Using Your Crock Pot

It is a wonderful thing to note that you cannot overcook your food under normal circumstances. The heat comes from the sides and not underneath, so you can be sure that the food is evenly cooked. You do not have to stir often and cleaning up is really easy. You can prepare many recipes using simple ingredients that you can prepare anytime!

Another tip while cooking is not to remove the lid too often. Every time you remove the lid, you let out a lot of heat and it takes time to recover. It may extend your cooking time.

If you are preparing bread or cakes recipes, it is highly recommended that you keep the lid in place during the first 2 hours.

You can also cook frozen meat and vegetables recipes in the crock-pot. All you have to do is add 2-3 hours cooking time. The important thing to note here is not to put frozen food directly into a heated crock-pot. It will damage the crock-pot due to temperature differences.
