This is a recipe from ww, but perfectly fine on a red day

Egg and Bacon Salad
Salads & side dishes

Servings: 4

You'll love the combination of eggs and bacon in a salad - very tasty!






Ingredients

• 4 medium egg(s)
• 6 tablespoon natural low-fat yogurt
• 2 level tablespoon wholegrain mustard
• 1 teaspoon lemon(s), rind, finely grated
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 small onion(s), red, thinly sliced
• 200 g lettuce, or large bag mixed salad leaves
• 2 tablespoon parsley, chopped fresh
• 4 medium rasher lean back bacon
• 2 tablespoon capers, drained
• 1 pinch salt, to taste
• 1/8 teaspoon pepper, freshly ground black, to taste

Instructions

Put the eggs on to hard boil for 12 minutes.

Meanwhile, mix together the yogurt, mustard, lemon rind and lemon juice in a large salad bowl.


Add the onion, salad leaves and parsley. Season with a little salt and plenty of black pepper, then toss together.


Shell the eggs and quarter them. Arrange on the salad.


Grill the bacon until crisp, then snip over the salad. Add the capers, if using. Serve at once, whilst the bacon is hot.

Made this the other day. It looked so pretty and tasted so good! Thanks for the recipe! The capers really added to it!

Ok ladies, Had a fantastic meal tonight, very cheap...OH made it up himself....All SYN FREE and the oil is a healthy extra ( extra virgin olive oil)

500g skinless chicken pieces ( or chicken breasts sliced)
150g very low fat natural yoghurt
1x tsp tumeric
1x tsp ground corriander
2 x tsp garam masala
1xtsp pakrika
1xtsp mild chili powder
1xtsp tikka curry powder
2cm fresh peeled garlic (finely grated)
1x large clove garlic crushed ( then finely chopped)
sea salt and black pepper to taste

Method:
Yoghurt in a bowl, add dry ingredients. Whisk to mix. add chicken and leave to marinate for at least 4 hours in the fridge.
Once stood, remove chicken the marinade and disgard marinade. Place pieces on a baking tray and cover with tin foil and bake in a preheated oven at 170C for 20-25 minutes. Once cooked remove from oven and let meat rest for few minutes.

Veg:
Asparagus tips, mushrooms, peppers, celery, spring onions (, half green chili pepper( deseeded), All vegs are chopped or sliced.
1x tsp tikka curry powder
1x tsp garam masala
1x tsp mild chili powder
salt and pepper to taste
1 tbs extra virgin olive oil.

Method:
Cook mushrooms in frylight until pink and softened. Remove from pan. Boil kettle and place asparagus tips in boiling water for 10 minutes...till soft but not cooked through. Add oil to pan and heat on high, add onions and heat till soft. Add remaining veg to include mushrooms and drained asparagus. Sprinkle spices over veg and stirfry 5 mins on med-low heat. Ensuring spices are mixed in....then return to very low heat to keep warm.

Finish cooking chicken on hot BBQ or hot griddle until slightly charred on both ( all) sides. Ensure chicken in piping hot all the way through. And prick with a skewer to ensure juices run dry. If juices still red continue to cook on low heat until juices are clear. ( try not to over cook though).

Plate up veg and place chicken on top. Season to taste.

All done. Sounds like a lot but it really only takes minutes.... ( apart from the initial marinating time.)

Good luck and let me know what you think.

My fave is the one from this months magazine.
Minced beef wraps

It is lovely, but i did adapt it a little

Minced beef (extra Lean )
1 onion
2 chopped carrots
2 plum tomatoes
oregano
mixed herbs
4 eggs
Quark
salt & Pepper
Frylight


Fry the onions in frylight
add carrots and mince, then add tomatoes and oregano.

Make the egg wraps when the mince has about 10 mins left to cook

Wisk by hand the eggs till fluffy add half a tub of quark and the mixed herbs
The magazine said it makes 4 wraps, but mine made 2. So divide the mixture into 2 and fry in a frying pan in frylight till golden brown both sides.

I really enjoyed this and will be having it again & Again !!!!! ENJOY

[sonban]

Right I dont know what you call them but here goes:

Free on Red

Chicken breast
Garam masalla
Garlic
Mushrooms
Chilli Powder

You can make as much or as little as you like of this.

Put the chicken breast in the blender with a teaspoon of garam masalla, 1 garlic clove, a couple of mushrooms and chilli powder as much or as little as you like depending on how hot you like it.

Blend it all together to form a paste.

Take small amounts and make chicken nuggett size shapes out of them. Spray a tray with frylight and place the chicken shapes on. Stick on a medium oven for around 20 mins.

You could use these as nibbles on a red day or as part of a meal.

1 clove garlic
2 carrots
500g lean pork mince
mushrooms (as many as you like)
tin of tomatoes with garlic
2tsp oregano
1tsp sweetener
2tsp fennel seeds
small swede
small butternut squash
6 tbsp Greek 0% yogurt
hand ful of fresh parsley (or any other fresh herb you have handy - I used rosemary)
168g Cathedral City Lighter cheese

1) Peel and chop the swede and squash and boil for 10-15 mins or until tender

2) Chop the onion, garlic, carrots and mushrooms. Spray a pan with Frylight and cook the veg with the pork for 4-5 mins. Add the tomatoes, oregano, sweetener and fennel seeds, salt & pepper. Bring to the boil then pour into a casserole dish.

3) Drain the swede and squash and mash with the fresh parsley and yogurt. Spread over the pork mixture. Top with cheddar cheese and fresh ground black pepper. Bake for 15-20 mins until golden and bubbly.

Ring the changes - try using different veg (tomatoes, celery, peppers, etc in the pork mix).

Has anyone tried the SW butternut squash and lentil curry receipe from the website?

It's bloody delicious!

I was a bit sceptical about the squash i must say, coz i've tried it before and i hated it - but I'm completely converted now - its gorgeous!

 

[MrsAH]

Think I'll have to try that, sounds good

 

[Fattyfattyboomboom]

ok ladies, something to try. You will like it or you will hate it I guess. But I love it.

Feta Meatballs =1 HEX A and 1.5 syn for the whole lot ( but not too sure you want to eat them all it's a lot of food)

250g extra lean mince beef ( but you could use lamb too)
1 egg
7 whole olives ( or equivelent in sliced) black or green ( 1 syn)
42g Feta cheese (HEX A)
Fresh basil, parsley and oregano ( about 1 tablespoon each) or 1/4 dried ( I used fresh)
1 clove chopped garlic ( or add 1 syn if you used garlic puree)
1 tablespoon tomato puree ( .5 syn)
salt and pepper to taste

Mix all together ( I used a blender/handmixer thing) it made about 16 meat balls. Placed in the oven on 200C for 10 minutes and then turned again to cook on all sides. for a further 10 minutes until cooked.

Let cool and I had it on a bed of spinach/watercress/rocket salad with thinly sliced red onions and a little fat free vinegrette.

Hope you like it...let me know.
