Chickpea and kidney bean curry and rice
P1000628.jpg
 
Hope this works, first time trying to post a pic from my phone.

Anyway this was tea tonight. Quorn bolognase bake with salad, SW coleslaw and whole meal garlic bread. 1 healthy extra of reduced fat cheddar and 3 syns for the spread for the garlic bread.

The garlic bread was lush and really hit the spot, we'd run out of flora light though so I had to use a higher syn butter spread so I could have made it for lower syns.

Had a disater with quorn bolognaise a couple of days ago. I would be grateful if you could share your recipe with timings etc Thankyu :0)

Hi a kohlrabi is kind of inbetween a cabbage and a turnip but can be eaten raw..lovely and fresh, done with ww vinegar, mayo, celery other bits and really goes lovely with smoked salmon. This is the recipe but I used 1 tbp of sweetner instead of caster sugar

I usually fry the quorn mince in some fry light with an oxo cube over a medium heat until its warmed through then add it to whatever sauce/bake I'm making. What exactly went wrong? With all quorn products all you really need to do is heat them through as they are already cooked before freezing.
 
I think i just over cook it. I usually cook some onion then chuck in the quorn brown it then add my tomatoes etc and cook for another 15 to 20 mins. I think now i will do what you do , add stock cube to the mince and have my tomato sauce already made add the two together and heat it through. Is that how you cook the quorn mince all the time , you cook it off first and then add to the rest of a dish just to heat through ?

I feel like a bit of a banana , i have just read your reply the second time. You know i have never really thought about the quorn being cooked already !! lol

No worries hun. If you want to cook the mince with the sauce then add it to the sauce frozen and it will hear through with it, or let it defrost first then add it. I do it seperate because I like to add the oxo and any other spices with the mince rather than to the sauce but that's just my preference. Hope you have better success next time!
 
Dinner tonight was Philadelphia Mac & Cheese with sweetcorn and mushrooms. Absolutely delicious!

I like the sound of this , looks good too. Would love the recipe :0)

It was yummy, bit of a mix up on the slimming world pea curry, you can have that recipe too if you like but it's not much different x

1) Mix together in a saucepan:
-tin of spaghetti in tomato sauce (or baked beans)
-tin of red kidney beans
-tin of chickpeas
-tin of chopped tomatoes

2) Add as much curry powder as you like, (I usually go for about 3 tablespoons tikka curry powder.)

3) Heat until nice and hot and serve with boiled rice and lots of side salad.

Thankyou Bernadette and Mum. I have made mushy pea curry but it was ok . I know there are different recipes , so yes i would be grateful if you could write down yours.
Quick question - do you add the juice of the spaghetti also ?

Have to get some tikka curry powder :0)

Ooh that looks amazing what's you're recipe?

It's one from the Philadelphia website with a few tweaks.

300g dried pasta
110g extra light Philly - b on green but if your doing EE use the light version which can be an A I think (I'm no expert on EE though!)
90g reduced fat cheddar (1 A & 1 B on green)
150ml skimmed milk (from A allowance)
1 200g can sweetcorn
100g mushrooms

Put the pasta onto boil and whilst your waiting mix the Philly, milk and about 30g of the cheese together. I also added 2 crushed garlic cloves.

Fry the mushrooms in some fry light and add them and the sweetcorn to the Philly mixture.

Drain the Pasta and stir into the Philly mix. Place in an oven proof dish and sprinkle the remaining cheese over the top.

Bake for about 15 mins in a 190*C oven until golden in top.

The recipe serves 4 and contains 1 1/2 As and 2 Bs if you do green. I count a portion as 1 of my healthy extras but I'm never 100% sure if you're allowed to do that or not but i do and its never effected my losses. If you didn't want to count the healthy extras it would be 5.5 syns a portion.
