HEART HEALTHY COOKING:
Make your favorite recipes heart healthy by following these simple steps
- Substitute a lower fat ingredient for a higher fat one . (Try skim milk instead of full cream milk)
- Choose Unsaturated fats. Use oil instead of butter, shortening (Shortening is any fat that is solid at room temperature) or ghee
- Use less of the high fat ingredients. Use less meat, eggs or cheese than what the recipe states. Use only part of the fat or oil called for
- Remove the fat. Trim visible fat and skin. Refrigerate curries, gravy, soup or stew until the fat rises to the top of the bowl and skim it off
- Change the cooking method. Steam boil, roast or microwave without adding fat. Saute with water, juice or broth instead of oil
