Stracoto
with Porcini Mushrooms *
Cesar Salad (Store Bought “Lite” Cesar Salad Kit with croutons thrown out)
Fresh Croutons
If you are going to have unfavorable carbohydrates, it works
best to pair them with low glycemic index vegetables so you get enough volume
to eat. It is also worth it to make sure that they taste good so that you haven’t
wasted your time. That is why we threw out the store bought croutons and made
our own for this meal.
Use your favorite French or Italian style bread (We used bread with whole cloves of garlic baked in.
Cut into ¾ inch cubes, Place in bowl, Drizzle very lightly with olive oil, Toss to distribute, Toast under broiler to desired doneness (2-5 minutes), turning midway through cooking time. (Watch Closely)
Our Croutons ended up being about ¼ oz. each.
