Ingredients
=== STICKY RICE CAKES ===
1 small onion - (4 oz), finely chopped
2 cup fat-free low-sodium canned chicken
1 cup short-grain brown rice
2 scallions, white part and 1" green, finely minced
2 tbsp minced fresh parsley
1 large egg white
2 tbsp unseasoned dry bread crumbs
Refrigerated butter-flavored cookin, as needed
=== VENISON AND SPINACH ===
6 venison loin chops, 1" thick, (abt 5 oz ea)
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
1 tsp Dijon mustard
1 tbsp chopped fresh rosemary
3 juniper berries, (optional)
Salt, (optional), to taste
Freshly-ground black pepper, to taste
1/4 cup water
3 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1 pinch ground nutmeg
1 1/2 lb fresh spinach, washed, stemmed,
and dried
Directions
In a medium saucepan, cook onion and broth over medium heat for 5 minutes.
Stir in brown rice, reduce heat to simmer, cover, and cook for 25 to 30
minutes, until the liquid is absorbed and rice is tender. Remove from heat
and stir in scallions, parsley, egg white, and bread crumbs. Spread the
mixture in a shallow dish, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 2
to 3 hours, until cold.
Shape the cold rice mixture into 6 round patties (will look something like
the commercial rice cakes that we all know and love!). Place the rice
cakes on waxed paper and chill until ready to cook.
Meanwhile, trim off any fat from the chops. Place in a self-closing
plastic bag. Combine the vinegar, Dijon, rosemary, juniper berries, salt
(if using) and freshly ground pepper to taste. Pour the mixture into the
bag. Close the bag to seal and turn several times to coat the chops with
the vinegar mixture. Let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes, turning
the bag several times.
Prepare a grill or preheat the broiler.
Meanwhile in a flat-bottom skillet, heat the water, lemon juice, and
nutmeg. Add the spinach and toss lightly until it is wilted. Drain into a
colander. Return the drained spinach to the skillet, cover, and keep
warm.
Grill venison chops over high heat for 7 minutes per side for medium-rare.
While chops are grilling, spray a nonstick skillet with butter-flavored
cooking spray. Add rice cakes and brown over medium-high heat for 2
minutes on each side, until golden brown, carefully turning them once.
Arrange the spinach towards one end of a large heated serving platter.
Trop with the grilled venison chops and place browned rice cakes next to
the spinach and chops. Serve at once.

Diet Grilled Venison Chop With Spinach And Sticky Rice Cakes Recipe brought to you by Diet Recipes To-Go
Weight loss dietsThe Zone Diet The Zone diet is a diet first created by Barry Sears in a number of books. The Zone diet isn’t particularly a fat reduction diet, but many zone diet followers find that they really seem to lose weight by following this system. The main scientific theory behind the Zone Diet is that if you limit the secretion of insulin and glucogen (both hormones), then anti-inflammatory chemicals are released which, in turn puts your body in a balanced state that is much, much more healthful than normal, known as the 'zone'. Sears believes that a body that is in 'the zone' is working at its most efficient and, because of this, doesn't need to convert surplus energy to fat. The main procedure of the diet is to monitor and control the precise ratio of carbohydrates to proteins, and to ensure you get increased levels of Omega 3 fish oils. |
