I picked up a new cook book last week title The Busy People’s Low-Fat Cookbook. The recipes look pretty simple. I decided to try one of the simplest of the recipes in the book. I bought four 1/4 inch thick slices of 97% fat-free ham at the grocery store last night, and also some apple butter. I figured the apple butter would be in the section with the jellies and jams. I was right, but it still took a while to find.
I laid three of the ham steaks on my Jennair grill, and while they were grilling, I slathered to top of the steaks with a teaspoon apple buter each. After they had grilled for a bit, I flipped the steaks, and then coated the other side with the apple butter. After they had grilled on then side for a bit, I flipped them again to carmelize the apple butter that I had just put on. Then I served them.
They were pretty good, and easy to make. They didn’t take hardly anytime at all, and they were pretty low fat. One drawback is that the apple butter left my Jennair grill and total mess. They can also be grilled in a skillet with some non-stick spray.
I will have to try some of the other reciped in the book. Most of them are more involved than this one, but still only take 10-15 mintues.
