18 Jul SPECIAL NINE DAYS RECIPES
RICE PUDDING
Ingredients:
6 cups milk, divided
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup long grain white
rice, I use a heaping half
cup
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
ground cinnamon, optional
Directions:
Old-Fashioned Rice Pudding is so creamy with the perfect texture and
sweetness. Only a handful of ingredients and a little patience. Perfect for the
nine days.
In a large saucepan, combine 5 1/2 cups milk, sugar, and salt. Bring to a boil
over edium-high heat.
Stir in rice and reduce heat to low. Be sure to adjust the heat so that it is at a
gentle simmer.
Stirring occasionally, cook for 50 to 60 minutes. Mixture should thicken up to
consistency of yogurt.
Once thickened, remove from heat and stir in vanilla.
Let cool and then refrigerate. The last 1/2 cup milk is stirred in just before
serving. Sprinkle with cinnamon if desired.
ZUCCHINI RAVIOLI
Ingredients:
3 large zucchini
1 16 ounce container low-fat
ricotta cheese
1 jar of marinara sauce
1 cup of shredded cheese
1 egg
3 tablespoons of Parmesan
cheese
Salt, pepper and dried
parsley to taste
Directions:
With a peeler peel the zucchini lengthwise into narrow strips
In a separate bowl mix together the ricotta, Parmesan, egg and seasoning.
Take four strips of zucchini, 2×2 creating a cross at 90 degree angle(so that it looks like a
hashtag sign).
Take a spoonful of ricotta filling in the middle and fold the zucchini up and over in both directions.
Layer zucchini in a 9 x 13 tray.
Pour a jar of your favorite marinara sauce over it and sprinkle shredded cheese on top.
Bake at 350° covered for 45 minutes and uncovered for 25 minutes.
TILAPIA TACOS
Ingredients:
Cole slaw for tacos
1 bag shredded cole slaw mix
juice of 1 lime
1 cup reduced fat sour cream
1 tsp salt
Fish tacos
4 Tilapia filets
1⁄4 teaspoon ground cayenne
1⁄2 teaspoon garlic powder
1⁄2 teaspoon cumin
1⁄2 teaspoon salt
1⁄2 teaspoon pepper
Directions:
Combine all cole slaw ingredients and let the flavors combine for
several hours in the fridge.
Fish Taos: Combine seasoning, sprinkle generously on both sides of
fish. In a skillet with oil
sauté the fish until fully cooked, about 8-10 minutes. When finished,
flake the fish. I like to use soft whole wheat tortillas, but anything
works. Put some slaw on the tortilla, top with fish and desired
toppings, fold and eat!
