1 egg for dipping (ff)
1 tsp basil
1 tsp parsley
1 tsp English mustard powder
1 tbsp hot paprika
4 small eggs (ff)
4 Sainsbury’s “Be good to yourself” extra lean Cumberland sausages (0.5 syn per sausage)

De-skin the sausages and mix in a bowl with garlic salt, parsley, mustard, basil & paprika.
Lay out a piece of Clingfilm and place the meat on it, cover with a second piece of film and using a roller reduce to a thickness of about 4-5 mm.
Take the shells of the eggs, remove the top piece of film and roll one egg on the meat until it is covered, cut from the rest of the meat, wet your hands and roll the egg in your hand until it’s all covered & smooth, set aside until all are done.
In a bowl tip couscous and in another one egg beaten with a whisk. Take one scotch egg and dip into the egg mix, then the couscous then set to one side on a plate, when completed place all the eggs into the fridge for 30 mins to firm up.
Heat the oven to 180c and transfer the eggs to an oven-proof dish, cook for 25-30 mins until cooked & browned. Remove & allow to cool.

Peanut curry... OMG. Ive made curry loads of times, and I was a bit sceptical about adding the peanut butter as, much as I love PB, it seemed a waste of syns.

But NO! It's glorious! :)

Amazing stuff Pete!



best curry i have tried and i dont even like peanut butter
 
Wow mushy pea curry was fab! I was so sceptical but we all loved it! Curry rice n chips (slimming world chips) for tea! I'm loving slimming world. I've still got some of this curry left do you think I can freeze it?
