Description
Recimeals are designed to be complete meals that need only be accompanied by a beverage, and sometimes a side salad or slice of bread. A recimeal provides significant amounts of at least three of the five mypyramid food groups: about 1/2 cup of fruits, 1/2 cup of vegetables, 1 ounce equivalent of grain foods, 2 ounces or the equivalent of lean meat or beans or 1 cup or the equivalent of milk per recipe serving. As a convenient one-dish meal, this elegant dish can be an easy pantry meal on its own, or deliciously accompanied by a garden salad with crusty bread. Made with protein-rich canned chicken, it’s just as delicious with canned turkey or crabmeat.
