Hi guys,
Today i am cooking DH fave dinner, which is slow braised beef, with dry roasties, carrots, peas, broc and cauli.
My question is, the only synable (a word?) thing there is the gravy, but i don't know how much to count?
It's 2.5 syns a tbsp, but i use at least 2 pints of gravy (fill up the dish with onion, carrots, braising steak, herbs and the gravy, cook for 3 hours on a very low temp, yummy!)
Do i count all the gravy i use? or just measure out tbsp's at the end of what i actually put on my dinner?
Obviously being cooked so slowly, alot of the gravy disappears, which is where i'm getting a little confused as to where to count it from.
Any help greatly appreciated as i'm doing really well and don't want to muck it up!
Also while i'm here, tomorrow is sausage casserole (tesco l/c cumberland) are they the same points if not grilled but cooked in the gravy like above?
Sorry for being a pain!
Thanks xx
