Tortellini In Porcini Broth
1 oz Dried Porcini or Polish
Mushrooms
2 cup Warm water
1 tsp Olive oil
4 oz Mixed wild and domestic
Mushrooms, trimmed and
Cut
Into thin slices
2 cup Chicken broth
1 cup Tortellini, stuffed with
Porcini or plain cheese
Salt and freshly ground
Black pepper
Fresh finely cut chives for
Garnish


If you haven't soaked the Porcini in advance (see note below) set
combine Porcini and water in a saucepan and bring to a simmer; let
soak for 20 minutes or until tender. Drain soaked Porcini, rinse them
to remove grit; and chop them. Strain the soaking liquid through
non-bleached paper towel or cotton cheesecloth-lined sieve; reserve
for later.

Heat the olive oil in a saucepan. When hot add chopped soaked Porcini
and saute for a few seconds. Add the fresh mushrooms, cover and cook
over very low heat until mushrooms are tender (if they begin to stick
to the bottom of the pan, add a few spoonfuls of mushroom soaking
liquid). Add reserved Porcini liquid and broth and bring to a simmer;
add tortellini and cook, uncovered for 5 minutes or until tender.
Season to taste with salt and pepper and portion out; garnish with
chives.

NOTE - to soak mushrooms in advance; cover 2 ounces of dried
mushrooms with 1 quart of water; set in refrigerator overnight or for
longer; remove soaked mushrooms and soaking liquid as needed.

Yield: 2 main course servings

Dieting made easy

If you want to shed a few kilos and increase your all round well-being, then, as any dietician will tell you, you should follow a specially planned balanced meal plan. In theory, this needs to contain 5 standard portions of fruit and vegetables each day and include the correct mix of crucial nutrients.

When planning a meal plan, it is essential to make sure you restrict your consumption of refined carbohydrates, salt and fats.

When starting a weight loss program, people ordinarily look at food store and branded products described as 'low in fat'. To do this is ordinarily foolish, as an item could be moderate in fat content, but whilst still being dangerously high in carbohydrates and calories.

Make sure that you drink enough fluids. Every now and then at some stage in a hectic day, you have an idea that you need a meal but in fact you might simply want a healthy tumbler of water or orange juice. The feelings of hunger and thirst are close, but one of them can result in weight increase and the other is ok.

Rather than thinking about the many unhealthy foods that you ought to eliminate from your meal plan, focus on the nutritionally sound foods which you are able to introduce to your meal plan. If one can bring in some beneficial grains, fruit and vegetables into your meal plan, you will find that you feel full and have a substantially reduced likelihood of being seduced by those damaging afternoon biscuits.
