I've changed my life around and now I am enjoying The Lighter Life. I love cooking and especially baking lovely desserts, but I wanna stay away from little no-no's like too much sugar and fat. I live in Belgium where the 'low-carb and low-fat movement' is just starting to begin so I found myself looking for recipes with easy to find ingredients and metric cooking measurements. Since they were hard to find, I decided to make my own! My desserts may never win beauty contests, for baking with bio ingredients will mostly give you flat cakes and pies. But lord will they win over your taste buds and still have you fitting into your skinny jeans. I invite you all to try out some recipes, adapt a couple where you see fit and above all, learn to enjoy the lovely taste of freshly baked, healthy goods.

Zucchinin With Minced Meat in the Oven

I fell in love with my oven ever since I started low carbing. It's amazing what you can do with him. I've baked cookies, pies, cakes and tons of main dishes that keep my hunger at bay. Now, it's time for a zucchini lasagna with minced meat, topped with some peppers and buffalo mozzarella. I know, a big moment because this is my first main dish I post here. It's just too good to not share it. It's an easy recipe, hardly no preparing so it's great for those days when you just wanna relax but still enjoy good and healthy food.

Ingredients:

170 g minced meat (I used a mix of beef and pork)
1 garlic clove
1 medium onion
120 ml of your favorite tomato sauce
1 green bell pepper
1 large zucchini
50 g buffalo milk mozzarella cheese
1 small chili pepper

Way to do it:

  • Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius.
  • Peel the zucchini and with a sharp knife, slice in long, thin slices. Salt the slices to get rid of excess water. Also cut up your green bell pepper in small cubes.
  • In a pan, fry chopped onions, meat and the garlic. When they are done, add the tomato sauce and let it cook until all the flavors are mixed. Season as you like. I seasoned with a special mix for meat.
  • Pat the zucchini slices dry with a clean towel and take an oven dish.
  • Start assembling your lasagna. Place some sauce at the bottom and layer the zucchini over it. Over the zucchini comes the meat and the sauce and the green bell pepper cubes. Add another layer of zucchini and again top with sauce and bell peppers. Continue until your ingredients run out.
  • Top the entire dish with the chopped up chilli pepper for added flavor and place thin slices of mozzarella on the top.
  • Bake in the oven at 2000 degrees C for 25 minute Turn on the grill to turn the cheese brown for the last 5 minutes.


  • Enjoy
    Xx
