Feta and Olive Meatballs
Serves 2; 200 calories per serving
Ingredients

For the meatballs:
1/4 cup chopped parsley
1 tablespoons ?nely chopped onion
1/2 pound lean ground beef
1/4 cup nonfat crumbled feta cheese
3 tablespoons pitted green olives, coarsely chopped
3 egg whites
1 tablespoons Tabil Spice Mixture (see below) or 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano

For the Tabil Spice Mixture:
1 tablespoons caraway seeds
1/8 cup coriander seeds
1 dried red chilies

Instructions

For the meatballs:
Preheat the broiler. In a large mixing bowl, combine all the ingredients with your hands and shape into 16 meatballs about the size of a silver dollar. Place the meatballs about 2 inches apart on a baking sheet and broil about 3 inches away from the heat until browned on top, 5 minutes or so. Turn over and broil on the other side for about 5 minutes. You don’t really need any salt in this recipe, as the feta and olives provide enough. Try the spice mixture. It tastes great in the meatballs. If you like, you can purchase low-carb tomato sauce to put over the meatballs.

For the spice mixture:
Roast the spices in a dry nonstick frying pan over medium heat until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Cool and ?nely grind in a spice mill.

1 1/2 pounds extra-lean ground beef
salt and pepper to taste
1-1/4 ounce package taco seasoning mix
15 ounces low-fat ricotta cheese
1/4 cup low-fat sour cream
27 ounces canned whole green chilies (drain and reserve 2 tablespoons canned juice)
2 tablespoons Tabasco sauce

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Season the meat with a little salt and pepper. In a skillet over medium heat, break up the meat with a wooden spoon, and cook until browned. Drain off the grease.

Spread a little of the mixture to cover the bottom of a 13x9 inch baking pan. Cover the sauce with a layer of tortillas, overlapping slightly. Sprinkle the meat mixture evenly over the entire base. Cover with a single layer of whole green chilies and pour the remaining sauce on top. Bake 45–60 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to stand 5 minutes before serving.

Spice-Crusted Salmon with Lime-Orange Salsa
Serves 2; 302 calories per serving
Ingredients

For the salsa:
2 navel oranges
1/2 small red onion, finely chopped
1/8 cup lime juice
1/8 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1/2 Tbsp. minced chipotle peppers
1 clove garlic, minced
Salt & freshly ground pepper to taste
For the crust:
1/2 Tbsp. coriander seeds, crushed
1/2 Tbsp. cumin seeds
1/4 Tbsp. black peppercorns
1/2 tsp. kosher salt
2 salmon fillets

Instructions

1. To make salsa: With a sharp knife, remove skin and white pith from oranges and discard. Working over a medium bowl to catch the juice, cut the orange segments from their surrounding membrane, letting the segments fall into the bowl. Add onion, lime juice, cilantro, chipotle peppers and garlic. Stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper.
2. To make salmon: Heat a small skillet over medium heat. Add coriander and cumin; toast, stirring constantly, until aromatic, 2 to 3 minutes. Let cool and transfer to a spice mill or mortar and pestle. Add peppercorns to the mill and coarsely grind all the spices. Stir in salt.

3. Prepare grill or preheat broiler.

4. Coat salmon with the spice mixture. Grill or broil on a lightly oiled rack until the fish is opaque in the center, about 5 minutes per side. Serve with the salsa.

To make ahead: The salsa can be prepared ahead and stored, covered, in the refrigerator for up to 8 hours.
