CHEESECAKE

Yield: 10 (1 piece) servings

Source: "American Diabetes Association Forbidden Foods Cookbook"

Adding a little creamy ricotta cheese instead of extra sugar makes all the difference in the recipe. Be sure to puree the cottage and ricotta cheeses until they are absolutely smooth; they give the cake its velvety texture. Make it a least a day

ahead of time, to allow the flavors to blend.

1-1/2 cups low-fat (1%) cottage cheese

1/2 cup part-skim ricotta cheese

8 ounces Neufchatel cheese, room temperature

3 eggs

1/2 cup sugar

1 tablespoon vanilla extract

2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice

1/4 teaspoon salt

4 (2-1/2-inch-square reduced-fat graham crackers (1 oz.), finely crumbed

Position the oven rack in the lower third of the oven. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 9-inch round baking pan with a baking parchment or wax paper round and spray with nonstick cooking spray.

In a food processor, puree the cottage and ricotta cheeses until velvety smooth, at least 3 minutes.

Add the Neufchatel cheese, eggs, sugar, vanilla, lemon juice, and salt; pulse just until completely smooth, about 30 seconds. Pour into the prepared pan.

Pull the oven rack partly out. Place a large roasting pan on the rack; add the filled cheesecake pan. Carefully pour 1/2 inch boiling water into the roasting pan. Bake until the cheesecake is just starting to pull away from the sides of the pan, 40-45

minutes. Cool completely on a rack, then cover with plastic and refrigerate at least 24 hours and up to 2 days.

To unmold the cheesecake, cover the pan with tightly stretched plastic wrap then place a plate on top. Invert the pan and tap gently to release the cake; remove the parchment. Place a cake plate on the cake and invert so that the cake is right-side-up. Press the graham cracker crumbs around the sides of the cake.

Vegetable oil spray

10 ounces fresh broccoli spears or 10-ounce package

no-salt-added frozen broccoli spears

Sauce Ingredients:

1 teaspoon light margarine

8 ounces fresh mushrooms, sliced (2-1/2 to 3 cups)

1-1/3 cups low-sodium chicken broth

5-ounce can fat-free evaporated milk (2/3 cup)

1/4 cup all-purpose flour

1/4 cup sliced green onions (2 medium)

3 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

Dash of Nutmeg

Topping Ingredients:

1/4 cup fresh bread crumbs (1/2 slice bread)

2 tablespoons finely snipped fresh parsley

Lightly spray a 9-inch square baking pan with vegetable oil spray.

For sauce, heat margarine in a medium non-stick skillet over medium heat. Swirl to coat bottom. Cook mushrooms, covered, for 7 to 9 minutes, or until they've released their juices. Increase heat to high and cook, uncovered, for 1 to 2 minutes to allow

liquid to evaporate. Set aside.

CHICKEN AND RICE WITH YOGURT SAUCE

(makes 4 servings)

This chicken dish is Spanish in origin, yet uses short grained Italian Arborio rice, the same rice that's used to make risotto. The result is a superb one-dish meal. All you need to finish your dinner is a light dessert like fresh fruit and fat free cheese or frozen grapes. A demitasse of espresso would cap this off with a European flair.

1 teaspoon (5 ml) olive oil

1/4 teaspoon (1.25 ml) kosher salt

freshly ground pepper

2 whole skinless and boneless chicken breasts, about 8 ounces (224 g) each,

halved

5 ounces (150 g) chopped onion

4 ounces (120 g) chopped red bell pepper

4 ounces (120 g) chopped green bell pepper

2 large cloves garlic, minced

1 large tomato, chopped

1 cup (250 g) Arborio rice

1/8 teaspoon (0.6 ml) turmeric

1/2 teaspoon (2.5 ml ) Hungarian paprika

1/4 teaspoon (1.25 ml) ground cumin

1/4 teaspoon (1.25 ml) ground coriander

1 1/4 cups (300 ml) 99% fat free, no-salt-added canned chicken broth

1/3 cup (80 ml) white wine

1/2 cup(114 g) nonfat plain yogurt

2 tablespoons (30 g) chopped flat leaf parsley

1 tablespoon (15 ml) lemon juice

Preheat oven to 375°F (190° C), gas mark 5.

Heat the oil in a non- stick oven proof casserole or skillet. Dry the chicken pieces. Season with salt and pepper and brown on both sides. Remove to a plate and keep warm.

Add the onion, peppers, garlic, and tomato; stir until the onion is soft. Add the rice, turmeric, paprika, cumin and coriander. Stir to coat.

Add the broth and wine and return the chicken to the casserole. Bring to a simmer and then place in the oven and bake uncovered until the rice is cooked al dente and the chicken is cooked through, about 30 minutes.

While the chicken is cooking, combine the yogurt, parsley, and lemon juice. Refrigerate until ready to use.

When the chicken and rice are done, spoon the rice onto a serving platter, top with chicken breasts and drizzle yogurt sauce over the chicken. Pass the rest of the sauce. www.diabetic-recipes.com
