can i check, when you make your scotch eggs, do you cook the couscous first?

Hi Kim_bee.
No I didn't I just tipped it in a bowl and rolled the scotch eggs in it after dipping in the egg first!
Enjoy.....

Hi Cldb.
I haven't tried freezing it but it should be ok, It never lasts long enough to have any left to freeze!

The mushy pea curry freezes really well. I tend to make a HUGE batch of it and freeze it in single portion bags, so I can pull out what I need. Only takes a few mins to defrost in the microwave.

Pete you are an inspiration

Pete's recipes

Hi All.
Sorry about the loss of the pictures I had exceeded my allowance on photobucket so I had to take out a subscription to get them back! I have paid for the next two years so should be ok.........
I didn't fancy moving all 400+ of them!
Pete

Pete you are so generous sharing all of your recipes that is doesn't seem fair that you have to pay the subscription to keep all those pic! I honestly think that you should allow some of us to re-imburse you in some way?? I'm sure everyone here would agree ...

You're an inspiration to us all :thankyou:

Hi Moideux.
Thanks for the thought! With the upgraded site now I can update direct with text & pictures so I don't need to add anymore to photobucket.
Here is my latest recipe, made it for the first time today & just ate it as a pudding! feel free to alter......

Pete’s No Cook Cheese Cake


Serves 1

Ingredients

1 small tube of quark
1 tbsp. sweetener
1 tbsp. Philadelphia soft cheese/ Cadbury Chocolate flavour (2 syn)
2 Rich Tea biscuits (crushed up) (3 syn)

Method

In a small bowl, crush the biscuits and add water. Just enough to stick the biscuits together, on greaseproof paper place a cooking ring and fill with the biscuit, press down then place in the fridge to chill.
In another bowl add the Philadelphia and as much quark as required to fill the cooking ring, mix well, add sweetener to taste, remove base from fridge, add mixture, return to fridge to set.
When ready to serve remove from the fridge and using a kitchen blow torch or hot tea towel placed round the ring, heat up the ring and carefully remove it and serve with fresh fruits.

Hi Pete, I am a regular follower and lurker on this thread and take inspiration from your conversion of recipes to SW friendly format. I would love to be able to add some more desserts to my repertoire. Any ideas?

I will kick off with my fave icecream which couldn't be easier. A handful of frozen fruit ( raspberries work really well) blitzed with fat free Greek yogurt and a few drops of sweetener if you want. This produces a wonderful whippy consistency. I use a stick blender ut a food processor would also do the job.

Hi Pete. I'm new to this website but last night i made your Yuk Sung for my family, but instead of pork i used turkey. It was deeelish! Deffinately gonna try your cheesecake soon! Just one question... for the sausage rolls, would you be able to use any type of mince? or would it have to be pork. just thinking of different flavours?

 

[daisybell18]

Perfect timing! Thanks for the cheesecake recipe. I presume you could also bake a fatless sponge instead of biscuit base? Might try with a couple of crushed ryvita and sweetener to see what the result is like.

 

[l0v3child]

Pete's Pizza from Instant Mash

Pineapple & Ham

Serves 4

Ingredients

Use 125g from a pack of Sainsbury Instant Mash (250g)
One Tsp of mixed herbs.
1 onion chopped lengthways (s)(sff)
6 Basil leaves

Method

Mix together then add hot water until the mix is like bread doe.
Add 1 egg and mix.

Spray a Flat Pan with 3-4 Fry Light shots, wipe across pan.
Press the mix into the pan and cover in Clingfilm, rolling out with a rolling pin as thin as possible, remove Clingfilm.

Cook one side until light brown then using a large dinner plate warmed up and slightly wetted, place on top of pizza base and turn over, add 2-3 Fry Lights then return the pizza base to the pan and cook other side 3-6 mins depends on thickness.
When cooked to the correct colour, leave on pan and add tomato base.

Put Passata in a pan enough to cover Pizza base, add 1 TSP Tomato Puree and a few drops of "Worcester Sauce", heat till thickened but DO NOT BOIL.
Coat the Pizza base with the Passata

Add One slice of Lean thin sliced ham, cut into small strips, also cover with small pineapple wedges and use 4 of your allowance of Extra Light Laughing Cow wedges broken up and spread around the pineapples.

If the base is stuck to the pan then reheat and you will find that it will be easier to slide to your oven stone.

Place on Pre Heated Pizza Stone at 180/190 and cook until the cheese is bubbling.

Eat with Salad.

If you want better cheese then use 45g of Mozzarella cheese balls and 25g of low fat Cheddar grated on. But it will increase the Syn value!

I was brave to try the smash-pizza tonight ( I had a backup pasta bake in the fridge incase it tasted awful) ...
but to my surprise, and my fiancé, it was very nice and we look forward to using this recipe again! And this is coming from a chef! Thanx
