Spiralizing Veggies
A new sort of "spaghetti" is making its entry in homes and restaurants: spiralized vegetables.
The spiralizer is an inexpensive tool that turns fresh veggies into faux-noodles. It isn’t just for the carb-averse: everyone from home cooks to restaurant chefs are spiralizing.
Yes, it is the product of fashion. But it is also a wonderful way to make vegetables look very appetizing even to children, traditionally recalcitrant to whatever looks green - except maybe pistachio ice-cream.
It can also turn what is considered a side dish into a main course. A plate of spiralized courgettes and carrots may very much look like a plate of bi-coloured spaghetti, and with some clever seasoning we might trick ourselves into thinking that we had a filling pasta serving while carbs are banned in favour of minerals and vitamins.
Fruit can also be spiralized with success: ribbons of pear and apple sprinkled with nuts and a spoon of yoghurt and honey are an excellent replacement for the classic bowl of milk and cereals in the morning. It's fun, and it's healthy.
