TRES TAPAS ~ VEGETARIAN House Ceviche | Baked Veggie Empanada | Grilled Asparagus

Note from Masha

COST: $10

CALORIES: Approx 350-400

This new homemade Veggie Empanada is baked (not fried) with grilled eggplant, black beans and natural herbs & spices: vegan & delicious!  The spicy house Ceviché is prepared Peruvian style with fresh Tilapia and marinated in fresh squeezed lemon & lime juices.  Enjoy the walnut-infused grilled Asparagus to finish off a well balanced, low-fat, low-calorie, and vitamin packed meal.

WEIGHT WATCHERS: 7 Points

Wood-Fire Grilled TURKEY BREAST FILET w/ the #5:

Veggie Lover’s Stir-Fry over a bed of Organic Quinoa, only $10

Calories:   Approx 500-550.

Masha Hershkovitz

Not only is this meal surprisingly delicious, it’s also completely Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free, Low-Fat, and full of vitamins, fiber & healthy lean proteins…makes for a great summer meal.  A recent FuegoMundo Fanatico wrote… “You haven’t lived until you’ve tried the Turkey at FuegoMundo!”  Claudia H. 4/10/2010

Weight Watcher Points:   7 points if you eat only ½ of the Turkey.

The Turkey in this entrée comes in a very big portion (8 oz) so for Weight Watchers I recommend packing half of the Turkey (4 oz) and the Fuego Chips To-Go up front, and eating half of the Turkey, 4 oz, and ALL the Veggies and Organic Quinoa (filling food) for a satisfying and delicious 7 point meal.

[a note from a recent customer...]

Masha;

I am an old friend from CBM, and knew you sister and brother well (I even went to Europe on a tour with your parents way back in 1986!).

Skip, and his son...

Also, I love your restaurant! My wife and I had lunch there several weeks ago with our 14 year old son, who is in a wheelchair and does not walk or talk. I have to tell you how proud you should be of your staff, who made us feel so welcome!

This is not always the case at restaurants. Our hostess/server made a real effort to connect with our son, and it meant the world to us!

I am forwarding the FuegoMundo Newsletter e-mail I just received from you to our Camp Twin Lakes staff.

I hope all is well with you!

Skip

[Thanks Skip. Your note meant the world to us. We are happy that you are a part of our FuegoMundo family...]

Nutrient Brief | Asparagus…Bigger is Better

FuegoMundo's Asparagus!

In season now, asparagus is one of the many veggies that packs a nutritional punch without a high caloric cost. Thicker stalks mean the plant will be more tender, and more enjoyable to snap off those woody ends before cooking. This particular vegetable can be prepared in a number of ways — boiled, steamed, grilled, or roasted. Some of the nutritional benefits are as follows:

*High in folic acid–so all of you pregnant women eat up (plays a part in the prevention of neural tube defects). Approximately one cup provides over half of the recommended daily allowance.

*3 grams of filling fiber per serving. Plus, at less than 40 calories per serving, you may be tempted to “indulge” in 2 or 3 servings at a time.

*Good source of vitamins C, A, B6, and thiamin. Also, about 400 milligrams of potassium per cup (about as much as a small banana!)

Asparagus is also low in the bad things like sodium and fat, so like most other veggies–fill your plate with as much as you like. Mix up a stir fry with some other colorful in-season produce, lean meat, and brown rice and you have got a complete meal. Check out the local farmers markets for a fresh bunch (or two)!

[Thanks Kelly! Order Asparagus off the Tapas menu next time you are in FuegoMundo!]

Steak Skewers

We were pleased to be mentioned in a recent AJC story by Carolyn O’Neil, called Eating Out: Summer slimmers and shockers. CLICK HERE to read the full story!

From the article:

“Don’t be fooled by the fire. Grilled meats and fish are often slathered with butter or oil, so request that your order be brushed lightly with oil. Orlansky likes what’s going on the wood-fired grill at Fuego Mundo, a South American-inspired restaurant in Sandy Springs: “It’s easy to eat well here. Pick a protein, such as tilapia, tuna, sea bass, honey citrus salmon, chicken, chicken sausage, steak, lamb or tofu. Then you choose your veggie sides such as plantains, rice, quinoa or black beans. You can go vegan, vegetarian or full-on carnivore at this fun spot.”

We are grateful for your business and your friendship. Thanks so much!

“Fuego Mundo” means World of Fire in Spanish, and the Sandy Springs restaurant by the same name has ignited our tastebuds!

P.S. –  The Mother’s Day brunch was FABULOUS — with fresh watermelon juice, arepas, cafe con leche, and guava pastry that melts in the mouth.

[Thanks again Sarah R!
