Wonton and dip

As you have noticed, many of the healthy preparations that I propose in this blog are not usually known to be healthy by people, but this is not because they aren't, but because they often are associated with sodium canned ingredients, or with excess of chemicals or preservatives.

But these same preparations can easily be replaced or varied, increasing protein and reducing the amounts of saturated fat. So in this case, I will propose an extreme variation of a typical preparation both in America and in Latin America: Chips and dip, but with a substitute that makes up our dish. Wonton and dip.


The ingredients for 4 servings are:

- 4 tomatoes
- 1 clove of garlic
- 1 onion
- 2 tablespoons parsley
- 1 tablespoon basil
- 4 tablespoons black beans
- Wonton wrappers
- Lemon juice to taste
- Salt and pepper to taste

Preparation:

1) Cut the tomatoes into small cubes, chop the onion and garlic. Place everything in a pot and mix with the beans, lemon juice, parsley, basil and add salt and pepper. Let stand 10 minutes and bring to medium heat for 10 minutes.


2) Place the wonton wrappers on a baking sheet and cook in a medium oven for 5 minutes until lightly toasted. Serve the wonton with the sauce and garnish with parsley.

It's a very easy preparation, which is unlike anything we usually eat. I hope that the unique flavors of this recipe will generate new sensations on your palate. I met Wonton shopping in an Argentine supermarket that offers many international ingredients. It's basically an eastern mass prepared from wheat flour and egg. It requires no preservatives or chemicals.

It also contains smaller amounts of white flour than tortillas and has flavor reminiscent of potatoes chips. So it seemed ideal to me for this substitution.
