Sauteing is a common cooking style which often yields yummy results, unfortunately it also yields extra fat and calories. The benefits of doing so are that it’s quicker than baking, easier than grilling and more versatile than putting something in the microwave.\u00a0 The main problem with saut\u00e9ing though comes with the kind of liquid ingredients you use.\u00a0 Both vegetable oil and olive oil may give food a great taste, but both are loaded with fat. Three healthier alternatives that you might want to consider using are apple juice, red wine and chicken broth.<\/p>\n

These three ingredients can each be a delicious, healthy substitute for oils.\u00a0 See the table below for a comparative look at these liquids.\u00a0 According to the table, the three alternative foods have very little, if any fat associated with them.\u00a0 Not only that, but each one carries with it a distinct taste.\u00a0 For instance if you favor a sweeter saut\u00e9 go with apple juice <\/a>, if you\u2019re looking for something more continental, chicken broth is your best bet.\u00a0 Just imagine\u00a0\u00a0how many calories you can save and how much fat you could lose by\u00a0replacing oil with one of the three alternatives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

In the world of fat and greasy food, there is always a healthy alternative around that will not only help you stay trim, but also be delicious.\u00a0 So, the next time you need to saut\u00e9 some onions and peppers, think about doing it with some red wine or chicken broth instead of oil. \u00a0Your meal will taste great and you’ll be able to feel good about it too.<\/p>\n

Cooking Tip** Since apple juice, red wine and chicken broth are water based, they tend to boil after a certain amount of time, so make sure to continuously add small amounts of the liquid to the pan when using them. This will ensure you get the great saut\u00e9 taste and feel without burning whatever you are cooking.<\/p>\n
