I know, I don't really cook much Nig food on SW. I think because it's typically heavy on the oil, it's not quite the same when I cook it with spray oil or a small amount of oil. Having said that I think I will give it a shot and see how it goes. Not sure how they cook J'rice in Ghana cuz every region tweaks their recipe but I'm sure you'd love it if I cooked you some! With proper fried plantain and spicy spinach. Yum! Miss my mom now lol!

Had Jollof rice just the other day as it happens (nephew's birthday)! My mum makes it with tom puree, spices and tinned toms - and she forewent the oil for the first time and it still tasted lovely! Worked out to about a syn per portion (15 people)

I had to cook traditional Nigerian stew too, but this time measured the oil and cooked it on a low heat so it didn't go 'dry'. Worked out to 9 syns per portion (a mahoosive pot enough to feed 15), with rice boiled with a chicken stock cube, syn free roasted chicken and sliced roast plantain. A lot of syns, (altogether 10) but enough of a treat! It was weird to eat oil again though after weeks of Frylight.

Oooh Christiana, you're a genuis! Thanks for sharing. I think I'm going to make some jollof rice this weekend!! I've got some vegetable stew (efo riro) in the freezer (stirred in a tbsp of palm oil in the end so got all the taste for minimal syns) so was just going to have that with some roasted fish (probably monkfish or snapper) and rice tonight! Yum!!

I had this for a quick lunch today.

I have never attempted the SW chips before, but I have to say I added peri-peri seasoning and they were the best chips I have ever had, diet or non-diet!

I know chips don't really go with salad but I really fancied some with caesar dressing mmmm.

Used Britmum's recipe for squidgy chocolate cake last night and have been showing it off all over the site - it was GORGEOUS!!

I also made a veggie curry and started a giant jaffa last night - the curry was lovely, will post a pic tomorrow as i'm having it again tonight, and the giant jaffa is still awaiting its chocolate topping, which i believe is the tricky bit! Wish me luck! x
