Apricot Chicken Tagine

Preventing heart disease starts right in the kitchen. My philosophy is simple - never give up what you like to eat, just change your recipes, using healthier ingredients. That is why I encourage my heart patients to use canola oil. It is the best universal oil for both baking and cooking.

Chicken With Ginger and Cashews

This classic Cantonese stir-fry traditionally uses cashews that are deep fried. A healthier approach is to oven roast the nuts which brings out more flavor of the cashews. Young ginger is available mostly in the spring and summer and is more tender and milder in flavor than the regular ginger that is found year round. Young ginger is pale yellow and does not require peeling and has pink-tipped shoots. If you find young ginger, reduce the amount by half.

Chicken with Lime, Garlic and Cashews

"Aside from the heart-healthy benefits of canola oil, I love using it in a marinade because of its mild, almost neutral flavor. Canola oil allows the flavors of the lime, garlic and soy sauce to come through in this recipe. The mild taste of canola oil makes it great in a salad dressing too, when you want to taste the ingredients and not the oil."
