Guest guest Posted April 28, 2003 Report Share Posted April 28, 2003 Sounds great! Do you think we could use water instead of the oil, if we want to, in this recipe? Two tablespoons, just used for sauteeing isn't bad, but I am trying to eliminate as much fat from my diet as possible, so I just thought I'd ask.

Guest guest Posted April 29, 2003 Report Share Posted April 29, 2003 Yes, you can use water or veggie broth to sauté. It's a very acceptable substitute for sautéing in fat. Namaste W Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
