There's a festive drama playing in my head in which vegetables have all the best parts. Just in case you missed the news, vegetables are now heroes. I mean, meat thinks it's cool but meat has its limits. It can be roasted, fried and poached and comes in slices or chunks.
Vegetables – the show-offs – can be tempura-ed, sculpted, teased into mousses, fermented into kimchi and spiralled into spaghetti, and there's so much culinary cross-fertilisation going on (Indian cauliflower fritters avec sa mousse au safran with a Persian tamarind chutney? Perfectly ordinary) that you can circle the globe and still be on the amuse-bouches.
Do you remember the days when a roast was accompanied by carrot batons, cauliflower cheese and frozen peas? How far we've come.
That is the way of the food world, of course: we want what is new, what is cool, what is different. Hence my imaginary drama in which carrot-and-parsnip mash (one of my favourite side dishes, as long as it's chunky and contains plenty of pepper) is trying to stand up to a tempura of pumpkin with cracked black cardamom. ("Please let us come back to the table," it sobs. "We'll even make friends with star anise!") Its chances don't look good.
So here's the problem with Christmas vegetables. Christmas can, as with much in life, develop and change. But, it's Christmas, we don't have many meals that are the same year after year, and I, for one, like the continuity.
So I'd rather tweak traditional veg than decide that watermelon radishes are a great bedfellow for turkey. Yes, they look gorgeous but, like pomegranate seeds (controversial point here), they have no place on the same table as sprouts. The cook has to balance innovation with tradition. Christmas Day is not the time for culinary fireworks (a concept that is, in any case, overvalued).
And fashion aside, let's consider the practicalities. The turkey may be increasingly eclipsed but you can't argue with its size – it will fill the oven.
That means doing most of the vegetables on the hob. So I'm going with the three dishes below: an updated version of sprouts (and I, no sprout lover, ate a whole plate of these when I tested them); beetroot – not usual at Christmas but a good old northern veg none the less; and carrots (with some gentle Middle Eastern spicing) because no roast is complete without them.
So, nothing to frighten the horses, or indeed the turkey. Just sprouts, beets and carrots. You can have all the cabbage kimchi you want on Boxing Day.
Thinking of nutritious, delicious menu ideas is a very challenging task for people with diabetes, especially if advised to lose or maintain weight. Some of the most common meal plans include eating a lunch that is approximately 500 calories and 55-65 grams of carbohydrate. Topping it off, one should consider the following recommendations from the American Diabetes Association and the American Heart Association:
- Sodium: no more than 2,300 mg/day(American Diabetes Association)
- Fiber more than 25 grams per day (American Heart Association)
- Eat less than 7 percent of daily calories from saturated fat (American Diabetes Association)
- Eat less than 1 percent of calories from Trans-fat (American Diabetes Association)
- Eat less than 200mg of dietary cholesterol per day (American Diabetes Association)
Here at DiabetesCare.net, we want to help you with outstanding examples of lunches that can fit into these guidelines. If this meal plan is for you (be sure to ask your dietitian or physician for guidance), we hope you try and enjoy this week of tasty lunch menus we are providing below - in part - from our website’s Recipe Center. (Important: Each day menu below includes one serving of the “Features” item, plus the additional items.) Bon appetite!
