Salisbury Steaks with Sweet Onion Relish

This is a spicy way to dress up ground beef. This is good enough to serve to company, too. Of course, you can use ground turkey instead of beef. Don't be frightened away by number of ingredients....most of them are just spices you should have on your spice rack already. This is a great recipe to prepare on the grill (or your George Forman) as well.

It also freezes well so if you make extra, pack up individual portions for later.

24 oz ground sirloin
1/2 c oats
1/4 c Dijon Mustard
1/2 c red bell, diced
1/2 c green bell, diced
1/2 t pepper
1/2 t paprika
1/2 t basil
1/2 t thyme
1/2 t pepper flakes
1/2 t onion powder
1/2 t garlic powder
cooking spray

Mix all the above ingredients (except the spray) together. Form into 4 patties (or if you want to have a smaller version you can make 6 smaller patties). The mustard adds a lot of salt to the patties, but you want more you can season the patties before cooking.
Set aside and begin the relish.

3 Red onions, chopped or sliced
2 T honey
1/2 c apple juice
1 beef boullion cube (optional)
2 t oil
2 t cider vnegar

Heat a skillet and add the oil. When the oil is hot (shimmering) add the onions. Lower the temperature to medium and saute until the onions are softened (5 - 8 minutes).
Add the boullion cube, cider vinegar, honey and juice to the skillet. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and allow the liquid to evaporate and onions to cook down. Set aside.

In a skillet or on a hot grill sprayed with the cooking spray, cook the patties to desired doneness.

Serve with the relish.

(The relish can also be done on the grill by wrapping all the ingredients in foil and cooking for 40 minutes. When unwrapped the relish will be ready to go.)

Mindful Eating

Here is an exercise in mindful eating I found on NPR. It is a good exercise for you to try and it could help you slow down your eating which will translate to satisfaction sooner which means less calories consumed! If you're curious to know what mindful eating looks like in practice, here's one exercise, excerpted from a review written by Stephanie Vangsness of Brigham and Women's Hospital. She writes: "Do this exercise with a friend. You will need one small slice of an apple for each person. One person reads the instructions listed below while the other person completes the exercise. 1.Take one bite of an apple slice and then close your eyes. Do not begin chewing yet. 2.Try not to pay attention to the ideas running through your mind, just focus on the apple. Notice anything that comes to mind about taste, texture, temperature and sensation going on in your mouth. 3.Begin chewing now. Chew slowly, just noticing what it feels like. It's normal that your mind will w...

Buy the cheap stinky onions!

Oddly enough the hot stinky cheap onions have more cancer fighting vitamins than those really sweet ones! Here is a good way to cook them to make them sweet and delicious! In fact, when cooked they are always sweeter. The sweet varieties are best eaten raw because when cooked they are less sweet. Peel and core (with your apple corer) a large onion - don't poke the corer all the way through. Place the onion on a sheet of foil. Put a bullion cube in the core, top with a 1/2 teaspoon of a butter substitute, sprinkle with thyme and pepper. Pour a teaspoon of dry sherry over all and grill for 45 minutes or until completely soft. Open and enjoy - it will taste like sweet French Onion Soup! Make one for each person because you won't want to share!
