this Recipe
PFD: 4 servings
of Black Bean Torta, 2 cups Three-Rice Walnut Salad
Grocery: Olive
oil
Bulk: 2 teaspoons
sesame seeds
Bakery: 1 small
loaf Italian bread
Cheese: 4 oz. Jarlsberg
Cheese
Preheat oven to 350
degrees F.
15 minutes ahead:
Slice the Italian bread length-wise. Shred the cheese. Place the bread
on a cookie sheet and brush the tops of each slice with olive oil. Sprinkle
the shredded cheese and sesame seeds over the slices. Toast in the oven
5-8 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and seeds begin to brown. Once
the bread has toasted, reduce heat to low (200-250 degrees F) and remove
the bread.
5 minutes ahead: Wrap
the tortas in foil and place on a cookie sheet in the oven. Heat until
warm.
Dinner’s ready:
Serve tortas with Three-Rice Walnut salad and Toasted Sesame Cheese Bread.
The Dietitian says:
The brown and wild rices, walnuts, and dried fruit in the salad and the
black beans in the torta are all good choices for a heart-healthy meal.
Using Jarlsberg lite is a nearly undetectable way to lower the fat content
of the meal. Choose a bread that lists whole wheat as the first ingredient
for more nutrition.
