I want to thank all of those who added their favorite diabetic and vegetarian recipes to the Food Fare Forum (now defunct). While most are interesting, I've slimmed down the lists considerably. I also added my own dishes, as well as a few from Wilbert and other people I know.
Although I'm neither diabetic or a vegetarian, my husband is the former and I would like to do a proper job to find the most appetizing recipes.
Speaking of diabetic, one of Wilbert's co-workers gave him the following recipe:
Italian Sub Sandwiches (for Diabetics)
2/3 C basil leaves
2/3 C flat-leaf (Italian) parsley
1/4 C dry bread crumbs
2 TBS Parmesan cheese
1 TBS water
1 garlic clove, chopped
1 TBS olive oil
4 Italian rolls, split lengthwise
1 jar (7.5 oz) roasted red peppers, drained
4 thin slices part-skim Mozzarella cheese
4 thin slices Prosciutto
1 bunch Arugula, washed & tough stems discarded
Combine the basil, parsley, bread crumbs, Parmesan, water, garlic and oil in a food processor; using a metal blade, process the ingredients until a paste is formed. Spread paste on the Italian rolls; layer one side of roll with peppers, mozzarella, Prosciutto, and Arugula. Top with bread; cut and wrap. Refrigerate until ready to serve. Makes four sandwiches.
