Yummy tea alert... got a sw book out of the library and found this gorgeous recipe for pork brochettes.. meant to be syn free but I used one slice of WW bread (2 syns) as added too much yogurt..

Ingredients
1 red chilli, seeded and finely chopped
4 spring onions finely chopped
2lb lean pork mince
2 tbsp curry powder
2oz vl fat natural yog
zest and juice of lime (I used lemon and was fine)

Add everything into a bowl, stir well and leave for a couple of hours for flavours to infuse, shape into balls (I made 25 - recipe says 32) and put on skewer, grill for approx 10 mins until cooked, serve with salad and dip (made with yogurt left overs and dried herbs). Yummy!!

Hiya Louise

Your dinner sounds scrummy! Will have to give them a go myself, hope you've had a good day, catch up with you later Boo xx

D: Jacket potato (B) with pork thingys (see above), spinach and carrots
