Syns per serving:
Green: 11½
Original: 3
Extra Easy: FREE
ingredients
for the meatballs:
1 small onion, peeled and finely chopped
750g lean pork steaks or tenderloin, all visible fat removed, cut into chunks
1 level tbsp tomato purée
2 tsp ground cumin
2 tbsp each of finely chopped fresh coriander and mint
Low calorie cooking spray
Fresh rosemary sprigs, to garnish
for the casserole sauce:
½ tsp cinnamon
600ml passata with onions and garlic
400ml chicken stock
Juice of ½ lemon
300g potatoes, peeled and cut into 1cm pieces
2 celery sticks, roughly chopped
2 carrots, peeled and cut into 1cm pieces
1 onion, peeled and finely sliced

Place the onion, pork, tomato purée, ground cumin and chopped herbs in a food processor and blend until fairly smooth. Shape the mixture into 24 meatballs.

Yes Bread comes under your healthy extra b you have either 1 or 2 of those depending on which plan you are following.
Margerine is syns so for example 1 tsp of flora light is 1 syn.
Dont worry about asking questions thats what we are all on here for to support each other
Also dont worry or feel guilty about eating those kind of foods slimming world definatly works which im sure you will see on your first weigh in.
good luck.

A Jamaican classic - who says jerk seasoning is just for the barbeque?
ingredients
Low calorie cooking spray
400g stewing beef, all visible fat removed, cut into bite-size pieces
2 red peppers, deseeded and cut into bite-sized pieces
1 small sweet potato, peeled and cut into bite-sized pieces
200g green beans, trimmed and halved
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
2 tbsp jerk seasoning
1 tbsp red wine vinegar
¼ tsp sweetener
200g passata with onions and garlic
200ml beef stock
2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
200g dried long-grain rice
A small handful of flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped, to garnish
method
Preheat your oven to 160°C/140°C Fan/Gas 3. Place a medium, flameproof casserole dish sprayed with low calorie cooking spray over a high heat. Add the beef and fry for 4-5 minutes, or until lightly browned, stirring occasionally.
Add the peppers, sweet potato, beans, garlic, jerk seasoning, wine vinegar, sweetener, passata, stock and Worcestershire sauce. Season and stir well. Cover and cook for 1½ hours, or until the beef is meltingly tender.
Cook the rice accordingly to the packet instructions, then drain well. Divide the stew and rice between 4 bowls, garnish with parsley and serve.
Tip: Make it serve 4: Increase the beef to 800g, add another red pepper and small sweet potato, increase the beans to 300g, add another garlic clove and double the amount of passata and stock. Bake for an extra 20-30 minutes, or until the beef is tender. You will need to double the rice, too.
