Yummy Lunch Recipe

Monday, April 20, 2009

Andrew and I have decided to start our own weight loss competition amongst ourselves; and so, we went to the store last night and got lots of healthy groceries with which to make a lot of new recipes. My first recipe was from Weight Watchers' Take Out Tonight, it's a Roasted Red Pepper & Goat Cheese Sandwich, and is soo easy to make, and has very few ingredients - my kind of recipe! They are between 175-250 calories each, depending on what kind of english muffin you use.

Ingredients (for 4 servings):

1 large red bell pepper, halved and seeded

1/4 lb (4 oz) goat cheese

4 english muffins

Arugula leaves

Preheat the broiler. Line a baking sheet with foil; place the bell-pepper pieces, cut-side down, on a baking sheet. Broil for about 10 minutes, until lightly charred. Then, wrap the pieces in the foil and let them steam for 20 minutes. When they are cool enough to handle, peel and cut in half.

Spread 2 tablespoons goat cheese on the bottom half of each muffin. Top cheese with roasted red pepper and fresh arugula; cover sandwiches with muffin tops.
