Yep, that's it. Just crumble the meringue a little so you still have big crunchy bits :drool:

Hi all,

I'm back after a leave of absence - and mmm a small weight gain.

Now motivated to get going again -

Nice to hear/see some names are still on here.

Just off to do my diary now.

But yea hello peeps!.

How do you make your bread SS? X

 

[silly sausage]

Hi Kitkat Welcome back.

Hey Rozieeee

The recipe is:

240ml (or one nutella jar lol) of water
8 oz strong wholemeal flour
8 oz strong white flour
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp sugar
1 tsp salt
1 sachet yeast

Put eveything in the machine on the "dough" setting. When finished, knead a bit, put into a loaf tin and cover with cling film/tea towel. Leave to rise for about 45 mins. My oven is rubbish and has no temperature markings anymore but about 180ish for 25-30 minutes. I use a solicone tin so it just pops out. About 1cm wide is a 57g serving.

Or you can shape it into 12 rolls. 1 hex each. Bake for 15 mins.

(Disclaimer: might not be a healthy extra at all, but I eat it as such)

The coronation coleslaw was invented today to try to use up more of my 22p cabbage. I can't be trusted with a jar of mayo so it had to be mayo free. Though I say so myself, it is quite edible!

1/4 small white cabbage
1 large carrot
1/4 red onion
1/2 apple
few grapes

for the dressing:
small tub of 0% Greek yoghurt
1 tbsp mango chutney (2 syns)
1/4 tsp curry powder
zest of half a lime

Makes 2 huge servings at one syn each.

Oooh btw I found harissa paste! I'm spreading it on chicken tonight but nice to see you can make it into a dip as well. I wondered about cous cous too so I will prob do that this week at some point. Tonight Im having this harissa chicken with spicy hummous, sweet potato wedges and salad. Doing an Ermintrude week lol. Can't wait! xx

 

[Beegee]

Ooh your coleslaw looks good. You're very imaginative aren't you!

 

[silly sausage]

Lucyloo - your Ermintrude dinner looks fab! I must try the humous.

Hiya Cjeb - I think green days have the best healthy extras and don't understand why anyone would choose to do anything else hehe. You are doing really well with your loss :clap:

Beegee - mayo falls into the pringles/nutella/devil food category. Glad I found a way around it with the new coleslaw.

Here's a recipe for chickpea dahl loaf that everyone is raving about in our group.

tin of chickpea dahl - you can find this in Morrisons or Asda
2/3 eggs
a packet of batchelors curry rice

make up the rice, lob in the other ingredients, give it a swizzle till its mixed, shove it in a loaf tin, bung it in the oven at about 200c for about 20-25 mins, until its well, cooked

Just call me Nigella

 

[Red Riding Hood]

Hello sausage - your diary looks yum as always. I keep meaning to make the chickpea loaf above and as aI actually have some tins in the cupbord maybe today will be the day. I have to say green days are my favourite. You have also made me add cauldren sausages to my shopping list. I used to eat them when I was veggie and I'd like to try them again.

Have a good day lovely sausage x

Ooooooh get you with ur own s****y thread

Miss! Miss! Smartie said a bad word!

Sounds like another vote for the dahl loaf. Will give it a go. Thanks Smartie and Red. Will have to be after wi though as rice makes me gain

 

[silly sausage]

PS - are there syns in the packet of rice or could I use other rice and add curry spices to it? And if so, how much rice?

 

[craftylucyloo]

Batchelors mild curry rice is free!! as are the others. That loaf sounds nice. I wonder if they do a chickpea dahl in tescos? Is it free then?

I have eaten up all the hummous so will need to make more. It is soo good. x
