Thread: Recipes that I love (updated often)

Cruise protein only day but add green beans, squash etc for a PV day

1-2 large chicken breasts, cut into chunks
2 tablespoons fat free natural yoghurt
1/4 tsp cornflour (tolerated item)
1 dessertspoon sweetener
2 tsp curry powder (I use a medium heat)
2 tsp tandoori powder
Salt & pepper

Fry the chicken in a frying pan until cooked all the way through.
In a bowl, mix all other ingredients until smooth.
Turn the heat off the chicken and stir in the curry sauce. The heat from the chicken will be enough to warm the sauce. Don't heat it as the yoghurt will split.
Enjoy

Cruise PV
Serves 4

500g extra lean minced beef
1 onion, diced
1 carrot, diced
Handful green beans, diced
2 large butternut squashes, peeled, deseeded and chopped into large ish chunks
2 beef oxo cubes (tolerated item)
Dash Worcestershire sauce
Salt and pepper
1 teaspoon tomato purée
Approximately 350ml water

In a large saucepan, boil the butternut squash until soft.
Meanwhile, fry the carrot and onion until soft. Add the minced beef and fry until brown. Crumble over the oxo cubes and stir in
the tomato purée and dash of Worcestershire sauce. Add the water and simmer for 20 minutes. After 20 minutes your squash should be soft so drain. Add the diced green beans to the beef mixture at this point and continue to simmer.
Once squash is drained, add a splash of milk and mash until smooth. Add salt and pepper to taste and set aside.
In a large oven proof dish pour the beef mixture. Add the squash mash on top and spread evenly.
Bake in a preheated oven at gas 5/200c for 20-30 minutes or until the starts to bubble at the sides.
Enjoy!!

As always, if the beef mixture starts to look dry when simmering add a splash more water.

Serve with extra veggies

This is an adapted weight watchers recipe that I make quite often. Intact, it was our 'starter' for Christmas dinner last year. It's just occurred to me that it's dukan friendly so thought I'd share it with you. Great for work and can be frozen and heated as needed

1 large butternut squash, peeled, deseeded and chopped into chunks
2 Red peppers, chopped into chunks
1 chicken or vegetable low sodium stick cube (can be left out)
1 carrot, chopped into chunks
1 onion, chopped into chunks
1 tsp tomato purée
Salt & pepper
1 tsp dried herbs or spices (sage, Rosemary, smoked paprika, cumin, coriander all work well)
Boiling water

Put everything in a large saucepan. Cover with water and bring to boil. Once boiling, turn down and simmer for 20 minutes or until all vegetables are soft. Add more water if needed but I try and keep an eye on it as I like thick soup.
Now, either leave chunky or use a handblender to make a thick, creamy soup. Add salt and pepper to taste.
You could add a tsp natural yoghurt to make it really creamy and a bit special.

Hope you enjoy

Does anyone know if we can have Mullerlight toffee? Or any Mullerlights?
I've always avoided based on the fact they contain fructose or that toffee is pretty much sugar?!
I reckon I could come up with something nice using them.

Thanks in advance for any thoughts on this one

Use to either marinade meat or fish or pour over at the end of cooking for a sticky sauce.

I used this whilst on attack but probably technically a cruise sauce due to the soy sauce.
This was amazing with king prawns but equally as good with chicken or beef.

made this the other day and it was lovely. thanks for posting these lovely recipes, i will work my way through them. x

I'm going to try a few of these recipes this week usually I'm a lazy cook and just used ready made cooking sauces which are a no no. I've never tried butternut squash what does it taste like?

I'm going to try a few of these reciepes this week, I'm usually a very lazy cook and use the ready made cooking sauces but these are full of sugar so that's a no no now. I'm embarrassed to say I've never tasted butternut squash what does it taste like?

BNS is lovely instead of potato mashed with cauliflower on a cottage pie. It has a sweet taste hard to describe really. My OH loves it roasted with other veg such as courgette. Try it you just might like it - I like all veg so ..........

I made soup today for lunch bunged everything in a pan with water and then simmered until soft and liquidised it. It was delicious enough for 2
2 small Courgettes
handful of Mushrooms
2 sticks of Celery
1 Leek
Loads of black pepper
pinch of chilli powder
pinch of lo-salt

LadyM I thought i was in the general recipe section I would delete from your thread but dont know how to .......... sorry
