I want to make this dish, and I know how to figure out all the calories for each ingredient, and then add them all up, figure out how many servings, etc.
But this recipe I would like to see how we could make it lower in fat
2 Boxes Artichoke Hearts
Salt, Pepper
1 Shallot
Lemon Juice
white wine vinegar
Dijon Mustard
Basil Leaves
Capers
Roasted Red Pepper
red onion
parsley
white wine vinegar
1/2 cup Olive Oil
As you can see there are hardly any calories in this dish, except for the Olive Oil. If I use 1/2 cup of Olive Oil that is 960 Cal. and 112 fat grams
I know that I can divide it upon the servings, but the recipe says it makes 6 servings.
The Olive Oil is for the homemade Vinaigrette dressing that covers the roasted artichoke hearts. What do you think it would taste like if I use a lot less? How much less do you think I can go? If I used the whole 1/2 cup plus the fat in the other ingredients, that would be around 20 grams of fat per serving. I know it's the healthy fat, but it's still fat.
Thanks!!
