Slimming world chips

i always leave the skins on mine, i chip the potatoes put them on a plate spray with a little fry light and microwave them for about 10 mins let them stand a few mins , put on a oven tray i use a pizza tray with the holes in, spray the chips with more fry light then salt n pepper, then put in a pre-heated oven on highest setting my goes to gas mark 10 for about 15-20 mins until golden, turning half way through.

a few flavourings i also use:
a veg oxo crumbled and sprinkled over the last 5 mins,
natural yog mixed with paprika,
natural yog mixed with a veg oxo and salt n pepper,
garlic salt,
garlic granules and mixed herbs,
maggi liquid seasoning

for some super free veg chips, chips some carrots, swede and bns, place on a plate microwave for 4 mins, then spray with fry light and season, put on a baking tray in a hot oven for 15-20 mins

a nice marinade for meat/roasted veg/sw chips

mix natural yogurt with a veg oxo and salt and pepper. simple yet very tasty

sweet and sour sauce

1/2 pint of passata
3 floz water
4 floz red wine vinegar
1 tbsp worcestershire sauce
1 tbsp soy sauce
1/4 tsp garlic powder
5 tbsp sweetner

mix all ingredients together in a pan for about 15 mins until sauce thickens, serve with chicken, quorn, veg, rice, fish, chips. i keep it in a tub in the fridge

egg fried rice

cooked rice (it works best if it is cooked they day before and left in fridge overnight to dry out, or you could place it on an oven tray and place in oven for 5 mins to dry out a bit)
peas and sweetcorn
3 eggs
soy sauce
salt and pepper

lightly scramble the eggs just for 2 mins so they are still 'wet', set to one side
stir fry the cooked rice in frylight for 5 mins, add 1-2 tbsp of soy sauce so that all the rice is coloured brown, add the peas and sweetcorn stir fry for a few mins then add the egg and seasoning and stir fry for a further 2-3 minutes

for anyone who hasnt tried the sw doner meat or sw kfc i've tried them and are both very nice here's the recipes i picked up of here:

doner meat
Ingredients:
1 teaspoon plain flour
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon dried Italian herbs
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
500g/1.1 lb lamb mince

Method:
Preheat oven to gas mark 4/180C/350F

In a large bowl, combine the plain flour, dried oregano, dried Italian herbs, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt and black pepper.

Add the lamb mince and mix thoroughly for 2-3 minutes. Take out all of your aggression on the kebab mixture, punching and kneading until no air pockets remain and the kebab meat is extremely smooth.

Shape the seasoned mince into a loaf and place on a baking tray.

Bake in the middle shelf of the oven for 1 hour 20 minutes, turning the loaf half way through the cooking time to ensure even browning.

Once cooked, remove from the oven and cover with foil. Allow to rest for 10 minutes.

Slice the donor kebab as thinly as possible and serve with pitta, salad and sauces!!!


Syn Free KFC

10 x Chicken Drummers or 4 Chicken Breasts
1 x Tub Chicken Bovril Paste
1 x Egg
1 x Clove of Garlic crushed (optional if you dont like garlic)
2 x Teaspoons of Ground Black Pepper (optional)
2 x Teaspoons of Mixed Spice (optional)
1 x Teaspoon of mild chilli powder (optional)
4 x Slices brown bread
2 x Teaspoons mixed herbes

Method
Place chicken drummers/chicken breasts in a deep pan fill with water. Bring to the boil and simmer for 30 mins. Drain and leave to cool. When cool remove the skin and pat dry. Cut chicken breasts into strips.

Place the bread and mixed herbes into a food processor and blend until crumbled and empty onto a large dish. Scoop out all the bovril paste into a small bowl. Mix in the egg, crushed garlic, pepper, spice and chilli until you have a gloopy paste.

Now for the fun bit, but before you start switch on the oven to its highest setting and have a baking tray sprayed with fry light on stand by. Using a spoon carefully dribble the paste all over a chicken drummer/strip then roll it in the breadcrumb mixture and place on the baking tray. Repeat until all the drummers/strips are covered.

Place the chicken in the oven and cook for 10 to 15 minutes or until the breadcrumbs have started to go brown and crisp. Remove and leave to cool. Once cool transfer to a serving plate.

are you using breast or drumsticks. i did it with drumsticks it was nice but been told its much nicer with the breasts, i also did it with quorn pieces as i had loads of paste and breadcrumbs left over - my OH prefered the quorn and he is a big meat eater - i tricked him he though it was chicken! ha ha

I use a blender but u could do it by hand I guess. Why would u miss out mixed spice? I think it's that & bovril that give it the kfc taste. I bought the secret takeaway book that this recipe & the kebab one is from, can't wait to try the others!!!

i dont know, i dont like mixed spice, maybe i could just put a tiny bit in lol ooh maybe u can share some of ur takeaway recipes with us! lol xxx

awww my blender just broke going to have to buy one as i make all my own baby food for my son he won't eat the jars, think i will buy a decent one maybe a kenwood chef.

the kfc i though it was ok but not great i won't be rushing to make it again, prefered the doner kebab even though i don't really like the takeaway version. any ideas what seasoning is used on the chicken kebabs in takeaways? tried several times to make it but never tastes right and chicken always seems dry. x
