WW premium pork sausages are only 0.5 syns each and are thick and really meaty.
KFC style chicken drumsticks are delicious.
Homemade beef burgers with the mini babybel are great, or you could use Laughing cow extra light cheese triangles instead and its just as nice.
I love making lamb kebabs as well - lamb mince, mint, coriander, paprika, tumeric, garlic granules, chili powder, tandoori powder blended with some lemon juice...delicious!

Sorry but have just checked SW website as I got all excited when I saw this post, and alas, this is what I found, still pretty good though!

Syn-free sauce for BBQ's or any other time lovely with chicken skewers or lamb burgers or anything
0% of very low fat natural yogurt and colemans garden mint (not classic mint sauce as has sugar in) add as much as you want to taste. If sharp (particularly if chosen greek yogurt) add some sweetner sugar. If you want it like mint sauce from the indian add a dash of water and lemon juice. Its also nice as a mayonnaise substitute or with homemade coleslaw/potato salad.

I love making burgers with cheese in, they are yummy!

We went to a BBQ yesterday, made some stuffed tomatoes that were delish! Just got some big beef tomatoes, cut the top off and scooped out the middle. Mixed the tomato insides with extra light mayo, tinned tuna, spring onion and seasoning, then stuffed the tomatoes with the mix. I found that the tomato split a little when I was scooping them out so I wrapped them in tin foil to hold them together and then put them straight on the bbq in the foil to heat through. They were really good!!

tesco also sells lean lamb but thats 3.5 syns per 100g - my consultant told me that extra lean lamb is very hard to get hold of, maybe a good butchers - where he could mince some extra lean lamb for you or maybe u could do it yourself but some lamb cut all the fat off - do you think it would work if u blended it? i used to have a proper mincer but as it didnt get used i threw it out argh. i made the kebabs with lean lamb and it was lovely until i can get some extra lean lamb i'm going to make the kebabs with extra lean steak mince hope it tastes as nice x

Babybel burgers - I have been making them for years and my friends all love them.

Basically you make your own burgers to which ever recipe you prefer. I use extra lean mince beef, very finely grated onion, salt and a few teaspoons of dijon mustard (synned).

What I then do is take a babybel cheese (normal or light) and cut in half so you have 2 discs, rather than 2 semi-circles (if that makes sense). I then pop these in the middle of the burgers and mould the meat mixture around.

Great thing about these is that you can tell when the burgers are fully cooked as the cheese starts to bubble through.

I also made a variation of these this weekend using lean lamb mince, mint and used feta in the middle. yum!

I also make lots of homemade coleslaw - grated carrots, onions and white cabbage mixed with Hellamns light.

Prawns on skewers marinated in frylight, chopped garlic and red chili.

BBQ's are so great for SW!

Hi, having a bbq in 2weeks will use this recipe they sound fab, will need a couple of practices first tho lol
