SWAP ScoreChoose Rarely
Supporting Wellness at Pantries (SWAP) is a stoplight nutrition ranking system designed to help promote healthy food choices. SWAP ranks food as either green (choose often, supports health), yellow (choose sometimes, can contribute to good health), or red (choose rarely, limited health benefits). These rankings are based on the amount of saturated fat, sodium, and sugar in one serving of the recipe. These nutrients were chosen because they are most associated with chronic disease risk.
Ingredients
- 1 pint oysters (save the juice)
- 1 tablespoon oil (or butter)
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced (or 1 teaspoon garlic powder)
- 1 15-ounce can low sodium diced tomatoes
- 1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth (or vegetable broth)
- 1 teaspoon vinegar (red or cider)
- 1 teaspoon dry thyme
Directions
