Delicious meals with minimum ingredients.

LEMON MOUSSE - 1.5 Syns per whole recipe

4 egg whites, whisked into stiff peaks
1 tub of Quark
2 tbsp. sweetener or to taste
Two thirds of a sachet of sugar free lemon jelly, mixed with 2 tbsp. of boiling water to dissolve
Juice of one lemon plus a little finely grated zest

Fold all the ingredients gently together, put into serving dishes and chill for 4 hours in the fridge, if you can wait that long!!

Couldn't find a lemon jelly this week so tried with an orange one - equally as nice.

CHINESE STYLE PORK - Serves 4 (Courtesy of Slimming Eats)

1 Syn per serving

1 tbsp. of Hoi Sin sauce - 1.5 Syns
1 tbsp. of yellow bean sauce - 0.5 Syn - I couldn't find any but it still tasted good!
4 tbsp. of light soy sauce
Quarter of a teaspoon of Chinese Five Spice
2 tsp of runny honey - 2 Syns
1 tbsp. of sweetener
8 pork loins - I used 4 pork steaks instead.

In a small bowl mix together the Hoi Sin sauce, Yellow Bean sauce, Soy Sauce, 5 Spice, honey and sweetener.
Add the pork to a shallow ovenproof dish, pour over the marinade and refrigerate for approx. 4 hours or overnight.
Preheat the oven to 200C/gas 6.
Season the pork with a little salt and some black pepper. Roast the pork in the oven, turning frequently and basting with the sauce for approx. 30 minutes or until the pork is cooked through and is caramelised with the sauce.

I roasted some butternut squash and mixed it through some cooked whole-grain rice, along with some peas. It was really delicious. :)

2 tbsp. rice wine vinegar
1 tbsp. granulated sweetener

Pre-heat the oven to 200C/gas 6. Make 3 slashes across each of the chicken breasts to score, then season well with salt, black pepper and the cayenne pepper, rubbing it into the slashes.

Remove the chicken from the frying pan and put into a roasting tin. Put in the oven and cook for 30-40 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through thoroughly. Remove and leave to rest. Cover with foil to keep warm.
Pour the stock into the frying pan, adding the soy sauce, rice wine and sweetener. Stir, then add the ginger, puree, chilli and lime juice.
Bring to the boil and bubble, then reduce to a simmer and cook for about 5 minutes or until it begins to thicken slightly. Taste and season as required.

BLACKBERRY SWIRLS - Serves 4

0.5 Syns each

300g blackberries
3 tbsp. water
6 tbsp. granulated sweetener
500g FF Greek yoghurt
Grated rind of half a lemon

To make the berry compote, put the blackberries in a pan with the water. Bring to a simmer and cook gently for 2-3 minutes, until the juices begin to run.
Blend the cornflour gradually with 1 tbsp. of cold water and stir slowly into the fruit. Continue to cook until the juice thickens, squishing a few of the berries to add more colour.
Remove from the heat and stir in half of the sweetener. Set aside to cool.
Stir the lemon zest and remaining sweetener into the yoghurt.
Layer the berry compote with the yoghurt mixture into individual glass bowls or sundae glasses. Chill until ready to serve.

This is really refreshing and easy too. I know it's slightly changing the normal consistency of the fruit but, as it's divided by four, you won't be eating loads anyway. Whenever I've made it, it hasn't had a detrimental effect on my weight loss either. :)
