Slimming recipe: prepare a panini light, it's possible?
For Italians, it's a simple sandwich. With us, it is the inevitable meals on the go. This little bread white can be garnished according to the desires (salami, sausages, chorizo), accompanied bycheese (Gruyere, County, Mozzarella) and tomatoes. It is grilled thanks to a heating press which melts the cheese.
But as the holidays and the bikini approach, the panini is to be excluded. Not necessarily say some because it is possible to make a panini light: here are some tips.
It takes a bread rectangular in shape, without too much crust (to facilitate cooking), or too much crumb (not to smother the ingredients). The breads Focaccia type are a good choice. For the interior, we use three or four fillings maximum, otherwise it is too heavy to digest.
Important, it is necessary to find flavors that marry well. Note that it is not obligatory to put cheese in your bread. The binder may be provided by another creamy and less caloric ingredient such as a yoghurt sauce or cheese white or lightened mayonnaise.
In addition, we innovate with raw vegetables such as cucumber, green salad and grated carrots.
Therefore, the ideas of fittings are not lacking. It's also an opportunity to sort through your refrigerator. We can replace the Mozzarella with feta or fresh 0% squares. Then, we favor the ham defatted white, chicken breast or smoked salmon instead of Italian cold cuts.
We add a drizzle of olive oil or a little mustard to prevent the panini is too dry and some herbs such as basil or fennel to enhance the taste.
Rule # 1 for a panini light is to balance the filling (vegetables, lean meat and cheese lean) and avoid adding fat. At that moment, farewell guilt.
