I bought a "head " of jicama this week. I have had it before just cut and eaten raw with a dip. It is slightly sweet and I thought it might be something different for my vegetable servings. I eat mostly raw broc., cauli., and cucumbers. Does anyone have any other way to prepare the jicama that would be acceptible to my program? I would really appreciate any suggestions.

Full Version: Jicama
Well, I Googled jicama recipes and found one I'm going to try.
1. Julienne jicama
2. Drizzle with lime juice
3. Shake on Greek seasoning. (don't have this, will look for it) How easy is that?
I wonder if an herb and garlic Mrs. Dash would do? I'm going to try it. I'll let you know what I think. Please share any recipes that you have.

Nana - I have never heard of jicama before but since I am always on the look out for new veggies I will forsure have Mr look for some of this when he does the weekend shopping ... Lordy, I do miss shopping, he is OK for a man doing it but ... not as good as a lady would be teehee. I also love the Mrs Dash herb & garlic - last week he told me he got the last on on the shelf! Thanks for the tip: ))
Oh, yesterday we tried the blueberry muffin/yogurt/blueberries (made the night prior) and we both liked it so much that last night we tried the same recipe using the banana muffin/banana yogurt/banana's and I had a taste when I got up at 3AM and again, thanks kind Seattle person, it tastes super. Those muffins never filled me up quite enough until now.

FYI: I just read recently on the boards that anything over 1/2 cup of Jicama is considered a starch and isn't free. It was a mistake in the books.

Thanks, theatreannie, that's good to know. Only 1/2 cup at a time. I'm fixing some for dinner tomorrow.

Is the yogurt/muffin recipe in a book or in a forum? Sounds good. Let me know, if you find jicama, what you think of it. See theatrannie's note about no more than 1/2 cup. You'll see why it makes sense that more of it would be considered a starch. It resembles a potato or turnip in texture. I'm looking forward to trying the new recipe tomorrow.
