Is this different to your original recipe Pete?

 

[bilsat]

Only difference is using 700g passata instead of 400g tomatoes

Have recently mde your Jambalaya and Butternut squash curry (as I'm veggie I made a few small adjustments!) they were delicious! Boyfirend is a VERY fussy eater - so didn't tell him the curry was made of butternut squash until he'd finnished!!

But thanks for all the recipes - have spent best part of my lunch break copying and pasting. Now what to have for dinner...!

 

[bilsat]

Glad you tried them & enjoyed them, that's what it's all about.

Pete’s SW Dorito’s (turned golden crisp) (2013)

Serves 2

Ingredients

* 2 Free range, egg lasagne sheets (44g) (ff)
Seasoning of your choice

Method

Pre-heat the oven to 180C.
Fill a large saucepan with hot water, bring to the boil, place the lasagne sheets in & boil for up to 5 mins until soft.
Remove and place in cold water, drain & dry on a paper towel, remove & cut each sheet into 16 triangles.
On a flat oven-proof tray, sprayed with frylight, lay out the lasagne & spray with frylight, then sprinkle with seasoning of your choice, cook for 5mins, turn over & cook for another 5 mins or until crisp.
Remove & allow to cool.




* There is a debate that you should syn these as they are used differently to the way the manufacturers intended.
(If you syn these then it's 4 syns per 100g. I used 44g so rounding it up to 50g=2 syns. They make 32 crisps so 1 crisp = 0.06 syns!. You can have 8 or them for 1/2syn!

 

[Kirsty88]

I must try these!
