Hi Helen - and again Welcome!

 

About frying - well, others will have other strategies, but mine are two-fold:

to

use as little oil as possible in a recipe, I use the stir-fry method on high

heat.

You don't need a wok, although I have used one in the past. A large frying

pan or skillet does nicely as long as you have plenty of space to toss those

veggies around, keeping them moving ;=)

 

Alternately, I skip the oil altogether and pop the veggies into a pan and

'saute'

or 'fry' them in a little veggie stock - there's a little difference in taste,

but by the

time I've added herbs and spices of various kinds, who'd know? ;=)

 

I'm fond of vegetable stews - root vegetables or the more 'ratatouille' type,

and

I use little or no oil in preparing those.

 

I also have a steamer.

 

And also, on the rare occasion I eat my root vegetables whole, like to bake

them in the oven in their skins, like a potato.

 

You'll see that I totally sympathize with you, cuz when you read one of my

recipes it usually starts out '1 Tbsp oil (or as little as you can get away

with)' -

which tells you where I'm at.

 

Recipes on this list are intended to be low-fat, but of course sometimes . . .

;=)

 

Have a look around the recipes, and ask any questions you like, okay? Chat

later ;=)

 

Best,

Pat ;=)

Roasted veggies are the absolute BEST. So there. Have a great day

everyone! Bethie
