With the holiday season upon us, we could all gain from making smarter eating choices, at least just for those few weeks, to limit the unavoidable damages… It seems particularly hard with the dropping temperatures when all we’re craving is heavy comfort food. Fret not, there are a few proven substitutes that will make you feel as nourished and warmed up, and lighter too!
Grilled portobello mushrooms are an obvious and easy choice as they can be served just like meat. Forget hiding them into a burger as we can all gain from loosing the bun from time to time! Here they are an elegant steak served over lemony spinach, toothsome and utterly satisfying.
A red wine marinade coats the steaks as they grill into a perfectly juicy cap.
Serve them over cooked spinach tossed with lemon and salt and top with a pomegranate glaze and pomegranate seeds for a startling contrast of sweet-acidity.
You can slice them like a hanger steak…
…or serve them whole for those with the desire to cut their entree with a knife!
These delicious mushroom steaks are a main course masterpiece with much fewer calories and fat than a piece of beef. An easy dinner that will have you feeling a little less guilty about your holiday choices…
