Cook Yourself Thin Chocolate Cranberry Biscotti

Cook Yourself Thin – Chocolate and Cranberry Biscotti

The word “biscotti”  applies to any type of biscuit, and originates from the Latin word biscoctum, meaning “twice-baked”: it defined biscuits baked twice in the oven, so they could be stored for long periods of time, which was particularly useful during journeys and wars.

Biscotti were a staple of the diet of the Roman Legions. The word was eventually imported into English as “biscuit”. Biscotti is derived from the word “bis” which in Italian means twice and “cotto” meaning cooked.

Now, you have the background of this delicious morning coffee accompaniment, but how about making some healthy biscotti, Cook Yourself Thin style?

3/4 cup skim ricotta cheese

Cook Yourself Thin Book

2. In a separate pot, bring water to a boil and add 1/2 teaspoon of salt, broccoli and garlic. Simmer the broccoli and garlic for 5 minutes, until softened. With a slotted spoon remove the broccoli and garlic to a large bowl. Bring the water back to the boil, add the pasta, and cook the pasta for about 2 minutes less than the package directions suggest, about 11 minutes. The pasta should be al dente, a little firm.

3. Meanwhile, in a large Dutch oven set over medium-high heat, heat the oil. Add sausage and the garlic cloves from the broccoli bowl, and cook, stirring frequently until meat is fully cooked and no longer pink, about 4 to 5 minutes, if using fresh sausage. (If using fully cooked sausage, cook until surface is golden, about 2 to 3 minutes.) With a slotted spoon, transfer sausage to the broccoli, and drain most of the oil from the pan, leaving about 2 tablespoons. Discard the garlic.

4. Toss drained pasta with sausage mixture. Add beans, stock, 3/4 cup of grated mozzarella cheese and all of the ricotta. Add remaining salt and pepper. Gently toss. Transfer to prepared gratin or baking dish, top with breadcrumbs, remaining 1/4 cup of grated cheese and 1/4 cup mozzarella cheese, and drizzle with olive oil.

5. If making this in advance, allow the mixture to come to room temperature, cover with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator.

6. Bake for 25 minutes, until heated through and crusty on top.

The Cook Yourself Thin TV Show producers gave the audience the chance to put their weight-loss dilemmas to the Cook Yourself Thin presenters. Here’s the advice that Sal gave to Laura.

Laura’s question

“Hi, I’m a carboholic. I can live without cakes, sweets etc but I love starchy carbs.

“Is there a diet plan I can follow that doesn’t compromise my carb intake too much?

“Thanks! Laura”

Sal’s advice and Cook Yourself Thin Recipes

“Forget diets – they are too depressing for words, as often you deprive yourself of foods you love and then you crave them and before you know it you fall of the wagon, so to speak.

“It’s about getting back in the kitchen and cooking again but cleverly… so if you love pasta dishes then think about making homemade tomato sauces rather than creamy ones and adding vegetables to it to balance the meal out.

“One of my favourites is a good homemade tomato sauce with chopped black olives, tabasco and chopped anchovies with say tuna.

“If you want a creamy pasta idea try my carbonara in the book… it doesn’t compromise on the flavour but is certainly less calories.

“With regards to cakes etc… try making your own because you then know what has gone into it.

“Try Harry’s chocolate and beetroot cake as it is so intense that I even struggled to eat more than one slice, and I love chocolate and cakes.

“Happy cooking!” Check out Cook Yourself Thin Lifetime TV Show and Cook Yourself Thin Channel 4 Show.
