Patients diagnosed with thyroid cancer must often alter their diet in preparation for a radio-iodine scan or treatment. This scrumptious summer recipe shows that restricting the amount of iodine in the diet for a period of two weeks does not need to be overly challenging.
Ingredients
- 6 oz Spaghetti, or other pasta
- 1 Garlic clove, minced
- 3 tablespoons Onion, minced
- ¼ cup Vegetable oil
- ¼ cup White vinegar
- 1 tsp Sugar
- 1 tsp Oregano, dried
- ¼ tsp Black pepper
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 pkg Pea pods, thawed
- 1 cup Garbanzo beans, cooked
- ½ cup Corn, thawed
Instructions
Cook, drain and rinse pasta. While pasta drains, sauté garlic and onion in oil until tender.
Combine pasta, sautéed garlic & onion, beans, corn, and pea pods in a large bowl.
In a new bowl, combine and mix vinegar, sugar, oregano, salt and pepper. After the sugar and salt are well dissolved, pour over pasta & vegetables. Mix well and refrigerate 6 hours before serving.
Note: Pea pods, beans, and corn may be substituted with any vegetable you may not have on hand. If you are using vegetables, it is a good idea to blanch them.
