Mummy, ive learnt that theres 2 options to search (i think)

1/ whilst looking on a post like this one (recipes), just above where the first post starts theres a thread search, just type in scan bran there. There is an advance tab to add more data if required.
2/ The other option is to use the search tab at the top of the page in blue, but you have to make sure youve highlighted slimming world forum, and sometimes it helps if you click on the advanced tab and ask to find title only.

hope this helps.

 

[Susiewoosie]

I've only just found the first way to search:26:I use the second one all the time. So it really is true then you do learn something new each day:8855:

half pint vinegar
dry mustard
3 tbsp milk
seasoning
sugar
Beat eggs and add milk and vinegar. Season well. Add a pinch of mustard and sugar. Put bowl over pan of simmering water and cook gently, stirring often, until thick and creamy. Cool, put into bottle or jar and store in fridge.

1pint stock made with vecon
Place all ingrediants in a pan, bring to the boil, reduce heat, cover and simmer for 25-30mins or til rice is tender.

Thanks rosie, i hate quark so white sauce is always something i have to skip on but this could be a godsend might try putting it in lasagne

Following on from the AMAZING revelation that cous cous can be used as a 'crust' for croquettes (and 101 other things!), I have devised a FABULOUS new recipe. Well, I think it is, anyway, and it's deffo in my 'top 5' "Are you SURE you're on a diet?" list! lol


SW QUICHE:
Now excited about couscous, I had a good think, and came up with this really substantial SW Quiche.

Soak your COUSCOUS in water. I added a little VECON to the water. You could use Bovril, or maybe use Ainsleys' couscous. Once 'cooked' tip into a flan dish (or, in this house, the lid of a pyrex dish sprayed with FRYLIGHT! lol). Use a fork or spoon to smoosh your couscous neat and flat, and bring it up the sides to form an edge/crust. Bung in the oven until just golden. Then add whatever variation of SW quiche mixture you like, but I used one pack of QUORN FAJITA STRIPS, with a mixture of SMOOTH COTTAGE CHEESE, QUARK, and three EGGS. Bake for about 15 mins, or until firm, and your 'crust' has gone brown and crispy, and voila, a REALLY 'realistic' quiche! Just like a proper pastry one! This is nice warm, but 100x nicer once cooled.

The more I think of it, it's more like a pie than a quiche.

Hope you like.

Ok Jo, I'm making one of these, as we speak it is in the oven...lol.
I have used half tub of quark (had no cottage cheese left) cheese, bacon, red peppers and mushrooms. I used Ainsleys cous cous, the Mediterranean one. If works out as well as it's sounding I shall be making another one to take to our tasting session next week....fingers crossed.

I'll let you know how I got on and how well it gets received next week

what did you think, Ninja?

 

[Ninja]

what did you think, Ninja?

It was lovely Mojo, if you check out my food diary you'll see I've had it twice now either on it's own or as a meal with a j/p and some baked beans.
I took it to tasting session last week and everyone was really surprised by it and said it was a very clever idea. I've told them about this website and the recipe folder...lol. I also made the quick chicken and sweetcorn soup which went down very well.
Someone else made a strawberry trifle which was gorgeous, I'm going to have to make that soon. I'll let you know how I get on and maybe post some pics.
