Now Eat This! Part 13

This sauce is great on chicken wings, of course, but it's also very tasty on steak, grilled fish, and barbecued shrimp-even on cooked greens like kale and collards. It's an all-purpose sauce based on Buffalo wing sauce-with a twist. The most important twist may be that it has zero fat and only 33 calories per serving. Traditional Buffalo wing sauce is loaded with b.u.t.ter. Makes 1 cups (10 servings) Makes 1 cups (10 servings)

BASIC GRAVY.

Most gravies are made from meat juices and a thickener called "roux," a 50/50 combination of pure fat-like lard or b.u.t.ter-and white flour. This flourless, b.u.t.terless gravy can be used as a stand-alone sauce for almost any roast meat or poultry-and even some fish like cod and salmon. Play around with it: add low-fat bacon pieces, chopped olives, parsley, tarragon, basil, roasted pearl onions, diced cooked sweet potatoes, lemon zest, crushed peppercorns-whatever you can think of that fits into your caloric budget. Makes 2 cups (10 servings) Makes 2 cups (10 servings)

ONION-GARLIC PUREE.

This aromatic puree is designed to be a base ingredient and is a great way to build flavor and texture without adding fat. It eliminates the need to add a lot of b.u.t.ter and cream to Macaroni and Cheese with a Crusty Crunch Macaroni and Cheese with a Crusty Crunch, for instance. You can stir it into just about any sauce or soup for a fat-free flavor punch. Makes 1 cup Makes 1 cup

"Russian Island" Dressing (top), Hollandaise Sauce (middle), and Tartar Sauce (bottom).

HOLLANDAISE SAUCE.

I know, I am a fool for even trying to take on a b.u.t.ter sauce for this book, but I would be remiss if I didn't. In doing my research, many of you expressed your delight with this magical b.u.t.tery emulsion, and I have to confess I am a fan as well. When I was a young chef, we used to have contests to see who could make the best hollandaise sauce. It's actually a lot of fun to make because the chemical reaction that takes place makes it a bit challenging. This version is virtually impossible to mess up because when you remove most of the b.u.t.ter, you don't have to worry about tricky emulsifications and the sauce "breaking" if the heat is too high. While it's not the b.u.t.ter bomb that the original is, having only one-third of the original fat and calories is worth making some adjustments for. Makes 1 cups (about 7 servings) Makes 1 cups (about 7 servings)

2 tablespoons cornstarch 1 tablespoon b.u.t.ter Buds Sprinkles cup plus 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice 1 cup low-fat, low-sodium chicken broth 1 egg yolk, lightly beaten 2 tablespoons unsalted b.u.t.ter Salt and freshly ground black pepper Tabasco sauce 1. Combine the cornstarch and b.u.t.ter Buds in a small saucepan. Whisk the lemon juice and chicken broth into the cornstarch mixture.

Then cook until thickened, about 1 minute.

2. Place the egg yolk in a small bowl. Whisk cup of the hot liquid, 1 tablespoon at a time, into the egg yolk. Then whisk the warmed yolk back into the saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil, whisking constantly. Remove the pan from the heat and whisk in the b.u.t.ter. Season to taste with salt, pepper, and Tabasco sauce. Serve immediately.

AU POIVRE SAUCE.

This rich French sauce made of pepper, Cognac, and cream is traditionally served on steak, but it's equally good on pork or salmon. Instead of cream, this version is given body and richness with cornstarch-thickened evaporated milk. Makes 1 cups Makes 1 cups

1 tablespoon unsalted b.u.t.ter 2 small shallots, chopped fine ( cup) 2 tablespoons crushed pepper medley 3 tablespoons brandy or Cognac cup low-fat, low-sodium beef broth 1 cup evaporated skim milk 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon cornstarch Salt 1.

Healthy TipsGot (evaporated) milk? Try replacing heavy cream with evaporated skim milk in cooked foods like sauces, custards, pies, and cakes. At 25 calories per 2-tablespoon serving, compared to 40 calories for cream (and none of those coming from fat), you can have your custard and eat it, too.

TARTAR SAUCE.

There are many ways to flavor tartar sauce. I like cornichons, capers, onions, and Worcesters.h.i.+re sauce (it's a great flavoring with little caloric significance). There are also many uses for tartar sauce-it's not just for fried fish. Try it with grilled steak or shrimp, or as a spread on a sandwich.

c.o.c.kTAIL SAUCE.

This slightly spicy horseradish-tomato concoction makes a one-note boiled shrimp sing like a tenor. The typical ingredients are mostly healthy except for the sugar load-usually in the form of high-fructose corn syrup. This recipe calls for reduced-sugar ketchup and all the usual suspects, including prepared horseradish. Don't mess with grating fresh horseradish-believe it or not, it's not as strong as the jarred stuff. Makes 1 cups (20 servings) Makes 1 cups (20 servings)

1 cup reduced-sugar ketchup, such as Heinz cup prepared horseradish 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice 1 teaspoon Worcesters.h.i.+re sauce 1 teaspoon hot sauce, such as Frank's RedHot Original Whisk all the ingredients together in a medium bowl until well combined.

REAL CHOCOLATE MOUSSE.

"To truly mousse or not to mousse?" That was the question. At first I thought I'd find a great low-fat packaged mousse mix and turn the flavors up by adding some interesting ingredients. I tried it...and decided you deserved better. This is as close as I could get to a real chocolate mousse, made with egg whites and chocolate and very little fat. Serves 4 Serves 4

1 teaspoon vanilla extract teaspoon powdered gelatin cup egg subst.i.tute 1 ounces unsweetened chocolate, chopped fine 1 tablespoon light agave nectar Pinch of salt 2 tablespoons instant espresso powder 4 large egg whites, at room temperature teaspoon cream of tartar cup granulated Splenda 2 tablespoons semisweet chocolate chips cup fresh raspberries cup sliced fresh strawberries 1.

CLa.s.sIC TIRAMISu.

Tiramisu is a high-calorie dessert if there ever was one. I started the makeover process thinking the lighter version should include from-scratch sugar-free ladyfingers-homemade genoise piped in perfect finger shapes and baked. Then I got my head screwed on straight and realized that no one would make this dessert if it meant making your own genoise. The fat-laden original was transformed into something even an Italian grandma would love. Serves 12 Serves 12

20 ounces nonfat Greek yogurt 3 ounces mascarpone cheese 2 tablespoons dry Marsala wine cup plus 2 tablespoons granulated Splenda 20 ladyfingers 1 cups brewed cold espresso 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder 1.

APPLE PIE.

This country was built on apple pie with a very flaky crust, thanks to an abundance of lard or vegetable shortening. Instead of an overly caloric full-blown crust, this lightened-up pie has a crumbly Brown Betty-type topping. When you pulse the topping mixture, don't over-mix or it will be tough-not melt-in-your-mouth tender. If you must serve ice cream with this pie, look for a low-cal alternative. The usual scoop of "a la mode" adds 250 to 350 calories. Serves 12 Serves 12

CReME BRuLeE.

Even though there is no sugar in the custard part of the recipe, I did decide-after experimenting with every sugar subst.i.tute out there-that it would be okay to use unrefined Demerara sugar for the brulee part of this dessert. Considering that the fat grams are down to less than 3 from 50, I gave myself a pa.s.s. Serves 4 Serves 4
