Sorry, Autumn. I should've been clearer. I've just checked on-line, as I'm an on-line member and the only ones showing as Free are:
Tesco Extra Lean Pork Mince, chilled.
Tesco Finest Outdoor Bred Pork Mince, chilled.
Waitrose Essential British Pork Mince, 8% Fat, chilled.
Sainsbury's Extra Lean British Pork Mince, chilled.
Hope that helps. Just going to change the recipe details now. Thanks.

40. PORK CHOP MELTS - Serves 4.
1 Syn per serving if using the cheese as a HEX and if only using 1 level tbsp. of apple sauce. This is correct if you use the following apple sauces:
Tesco Bramley Apple Sauce - 1 level tbsp. - 1 Syn
Tesco Finest Apple Sauce with Cider - 1 level tbsp. - 1 Syn
Duerr's Bramley Apple Sauce - 1 level tbsp. - 1 Syn
I'm sure there are more but these are definitely correct. Sorry, couldn't find one for Sainsbury's on-line.
4 pork chops, all visible fat removed
120g cheese
4-8 level tbsp. apple sauce
Preheat the grill.
Season the chops on both sides with a good sprinkling of black pepper and salt. Grill under a moderate heat for 12-16 minutes, turning once, until just cooked.
Thinly slice the cheese. 30g per serving.
Spoon one or two level tbsp. of the apple sauce onto each chop and top this with 30g cheese.
Slide back under the grill for 2-3 minutes until the cheese has melted and is turning golden.
We usually have this with mash, leeks and broccoli but, obviously, it'd go with any sides. We have also had this topped with Danish Blue but it does up the Syns. Danish Blue is four and a half Syns for 25g. I personally thought it was worth it and the taste was fantastic, just for a change.

41. ROASTED VEGETABLES WITH CHEESE - Serves 4 as a side dish or 2 as a veggie main.
Syn Free per serving for the side dish for 4 people, if using the cheese as a HEX.
3 Syns per serving, between 2, if using cheese as a HEX.
1 large butternut squash, about 600-700g
1 medium red onion, cut into thin wedges
1 large sprig of fresh sage
1 large courgette
1 tbsp. balsamic vinegar
90g Red Leicester, grated or cut into small cubes. You could also use Feta cheese, of which you get 45g for a HEX. This would then be Syn Free, served between 2. I'll leave you to work out what it would be between 4, as my brain won't cope with anymore!
Preheat the oven to 200C/gas 6. Using a sharp knife, cut the squash in half and scoop out the seeds and stringy bits. As previously suggested on Minimins by someone else, (thanks) this is so much easier if you've previously warmed it in the microwave for about 3-4 mins. Cut the halves into smaller pieces so they can be peeled more easily. Chop the flesh into big bite-sized pieces.
Cut the onion into wedges. Spray a roasting tin with lots of Frylight and scatter the onion and bns onto the base and spray well with Frylight.
Strip the sage leaves from the stems and chop. There should be about 2 tbsps. Scatter these over the veg and season. Roast for about 20 minutes, stirring and re-spraying halfway through.
Meanwhile, slice the courgettes thickly.
Remove the roasting tin from the oven and push the mixture to one side. Put the courgette slices flat on the base of the tin and spray well, before seasoning.
Roast for a further 10 minutes, until all the vegetables are tender.
Remove the tin from the oven, sprinkle the balsamic over the vegetables and mix gently.
Sprinkle the cheese over the veg and toss lightly so the cheese begins to melt.
This is really tasty and easy too.

42. BLACK BEAN AND SPINACH CURRY Serves 4.
Practically Syn Free.
300g dried black beans
2 red onions, chopped
2 garlic cloves, chopped or crushed
1 tbsp. curry powder or to taste
1 tsp. vegetable stock powder or stock cube, crumbled
1 tbsp. black bean sauce - The only Syn info I could find for this on-line said 100g black bean sauce = 5 Syns, so if this recipe is shared between 4 people, 1 tbsp. between the 4 will be negligible.
400g can chopped tomatoes
200g fresh spinach
Soak the beans overnight in cold water, drain and rinse well. Place in a pan and cover with cold water. Bring to the boil and simmer for 40 mins or until soft.
Add the onions, garlic, curry powder, stock, black bean sauce and tomatoes, topping up with more water, if needed.
Simmer for 10 minutes and season.
Just before serving add the spinach and mix well.
Could top with Greek 0% yoghurt and maybe serve with rice or Syn Free noodles.
I haven't tried this so can't say much about it.
