replacement for butter on cabbage
Hi,
We all know how a bit of butter over cabbage and brockley and other green vegetables can make it seem a lot more interesting. Since our family has stopped using butter is there an alternative(preferably a healthy one) that we can use to put on the cabbage? many thanks. |

Soy Garden Margarine http://www.earthbalance.net
Or a drizzle of olive oil and toss with a smashed clove of garlic. jw 1111 wrote: > Hi, > > We all know how a bit of butter over cabbage and brockley and other > green vegetables can make it seem a lot more interesting. > > Since our family has stopped using butter is there an alternative(preferably a healthy one) that we can use to put on the cabbage? > > many thanks. |

According to >:

If you're in the UK, tesco and sainsburys (probably other places too) stock a 'butter like' bottle in the oil section which I've found quite convincing for cooking mushrooms. I've not tried actually using it as a topping, though. Sorry for the lack of detail, but I can try and find out more about it next time I see it, if you like. -- |

Depending on your definition of "healthy", margarine is worse than butter... and most anything else that resembles butter will just be chemicals.. which also isnt healthy. |

Both prducts contain saturated fats, margarine intake can lead to increased cancer rates and can lower good choelesterol... neither is good for you and butter (to me) tastes better. I buy only organic butter as the hormones used in the cattle are stored in the fat cells which would concentrate in butter and milk products... There is a lot of info on the web and I would suggest not listening to me, but doing your own research. Hope that helps a little. |

most margarines are hydrogenated (an artificial lipid bond with the same
structure as lard) the "Soy Garden" that I suggested is non-hydrogenated. jw 1111 wrote: > "Anon" > wrote in message ... >> jw 1111 wrote: >>> Hi, We all know how a bit of butter over cabbage and brockley and other >>> green vegetables can make it seem a lot more interesting..... >> Depending on your definition of "healthy", margarine is worse than >> butter... > > Thanks to all replies. could anon elaborate please on why they think > margarine is worse than butter? i heard someone say that before but dont > know their reasons. thanks |

The tastiest and butteriest IMNSHO is Soy Garden by Earth Balance. It
actually melts, too, unlike many soy dairy products. I use it all the time on potatoes, vegetables, a slice of bread, and not one dairy eater has yet realized it's not butter. See http://www.earthbalance.net/product.html#p4 for more details. Some other tasty, more healthful, but definitely high-fat alternatives to season veggies etc.: -- Use the oil from sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil. If you put it in the 'fridge it will solidify somewhat. Or whirl some of the oil with one or two of the tomatoes for a really rich treat. -- Whirl extra virgin olive oil with a few black olives for a rich topping/dip. -- Toasted sesame oil and a sprinkling of gomasio (sesame salt). -- Or just use a very high-quality, fruity, and tasty extra virgin olive oil with seasonings. Less fatty but it's a do-it-yourselfer: -- This classic East European garlic sauce is *excellent* on cabbage and other veggies, but don't serve it to a hot date ;-): http://www.catteacorner.com/vegan-f.htm#mujdei For more recipes see our vegan recipe collection at The Cat-Tea Corner www.catteacorner.com # # # # |
