Slimming world recipes

**Banana** · 02-04-2008, 12:44 PM

If anyone has some recipes that they want to share around then lets add them here.

I saw a really good one for a curry earlier on another website. So will post that on later, I need to get some recipes together cos although normally im quite good with being creative - when its all the fat free stuff I get a bit stuck for ideas and tend to bore myself with the same thing over and over

SO add them here if you have any

I got this recipe out of the new mag and it was fantastic. Even my husband loved it and said he wouldn;t even mind it for dinner with ham or bacon on the side. Best thing is, it's totally free on red or green! It didn't taste like diet food, either. It tasted like "oh my gawd, delicious holiday restaraunt" food.

Eggs Florentine

For the hollandaise sauce

small handful of chives
5 tbsp very low fat natural fromage frais
1 level tsp English mustard
2 tsp lemon juice
pinch of cayenne pepper
freshly ground black pepper

For the Florentine

12 eggs
dash of white wine vinegar
12 slices of wholemeal toast
Fry Light
567 g baby spinach

1) Chop the chives and set aside. Place fromage frais, mustard, lemon juice and cayenne pepper in a heatproof bowl and mix. Season with pepper then place bowl over a pan of simmering water until ready for use.

2) Poach the eggs: bring large pan of water to a simmer and add vinegar. Crack each egg into a ramekin then gently pour into the pan. Simmer for 5 minutes (WARNING - recipe says 5 minutes but mine were hard-boiled so I had to do more and it only took 2 or 3 minutes for perfect eggs).

3) Meanwhile, toast the bread and using a large cookie cutter, cut a circle out of each slice to make "muffins". At the same time, heat some Fry Light in a skillet and gently cook the spinach until wilted, about 2 minutes.

4) PLace 2 muffins on each plate. Top with spinach and then poached eggs. Drizzle over the sauce abd sorinkle with chives.

watch out for the bread though - you would have to count that as a "b" or sins!

Yes the bread is a healthy B. I hate using Syns on bread!

Getting ready to make this for dinner with left-over chicken. Will let you kow how it turns out. Sounds fairly simple.

This is syn free on both days - ideal for curries or with meat / quorn or even chips on a green day!

Ingredients
- 1 Onion
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1 tsp finely grated ginger
- 1tbsp hot or med curry powder
- 400g tin chopped tomatoes
- 57ml/2fl oz veg stock
- 2 tbspn sweetner
- 57g/ 2oz natural yoghurt or Quark/fromage frais
- 1tbspn chopped mint
- 1 tbspn chopped coriander

Cooking Instructions

1. Chop onions and crush garlic. Spray frying pan with fry light and place on heat - add onion, garlic, and ginger and fry for 1-2 mins before adding curry powder.

2. Stir and cook for another couple of mins then add tomatoes, sweetner and stock.

3. Bring to boil and reduce heat to simmer gently for 12-15 mins.

4. Then blitz sauce in food processor or with hand blender, and return to heat.

5. Heat gently then add quark/yoghurt/fromage frais and herbs.

If you use this as a sauce to form a curry, you can leave out the 4th step and simply add mushrooms, veg, meat, etc to your liking.

I have made a lovely littel soup today, a bag of watercress ( 10p in bin at Asda!) some asparagus, pint chicken bovril stock and ready cooked chicken - heat through, allow watercress to wilt, and then whizz up. Free on red days ( or omit chicken for greens )

Liz Hurley swears by watercress soup, so let's see if I magic into her overnight

also ordred a burgerpress from www.lakeland.co.uk and have made turkey burgers -

mush up turkey mince with your hands, season ( I put a bit of cajun in, but whatever you like will work just fine)
mush again till seasoning runs through, half fill burger press, then add in a lite laughing cow triangle ( taken from your HEA allowance) and add the rest of the mince, and ake in the oven for around 20-30 mins ( depends how thick your burger is)
Hoping this turns out ok, not tried it before!!

ooh some nice recipes.

I've been having thai chicken grills which are really yummy and soooooooooo easy to make (I can actually do it!!!)

1lb minced chicken - can't find this anywhere so I just use chicken portions and cut up really small.

1 red chilli (de-seeded and finely chopped)

1tsp thai seven spice mix

2 tbsp fresh coriander.

mix it all together in a bowl. form patties.

fry in fry light for 5 mins on each side.

I had these last night with salad and jacket potato - was a really nice tea!

**angeldelight** · 09-04-2008, 06:43 AM

Thank you for all of these ideas

Just wanted to say that the curry sauce I posted above was a huge hit even with the family. It had a lovely, full flavour. I added left-over chicken to it but it would also be gorgeous with a bunch of diced veggies like courgette, aubergine, squash/pumpkin or mushrooms (totally free on a green day!).

If anything, it was slightly too sweet and I may cut back on sweetener next time.

Oooh, those Thai grills sound nice, too!

**chels55** · 09-04-2008, 07:13 AM

Im sure most people have tried the slimming world chips

Peel potatoes and cut into chuncky chips
pre heat oven at around gas mark 8
par boil potatoes for about 5 minutes and drain
place on a baking tray and spray with fry light
ready in about 30 mins or until golden
Free on green day

I eat them with quorn sausages and baked beans and you dont feel like your on a diet because they taste so good

**Banana** · 09-04-2008, 08:05 AM

I havnt made the chips yet - but I have decided to have a green day today so think I may give them a try - thanks for reminding me!

**Tatia** · 09-04-2008, 08:08 AM

Mmmm, they're gorgeous!

**carolinel** · 09-04-2008, 06:30 PM

have you done the chips yet Lana? what's the verdict?

**Banana** · 10-04-2008, 07:42 PM

Well can I just say - the chips were fab!!! I even gave them to Isabelle with her dinner last night - she had a few but she doesnt really like chips anyway -but she did have a few.

The chips alone make me want to have more green days!

Also - anyone with the magazine this month - make the turkey burgers, I had then for dinner tonight and they were fantastic!! Really quick and easy to prepare and tasted great!! Free on original - use wholemeal roll as healthy extra.

Yummy!!
