[SpaceAngel]

Yea I am pleased. I switched back to red days and ate loads of spicy curries. They say that spices can speed up the metabolism.

Fingers crossed for me then because iv'e added spices to loads of stuff this week, yesterday i had some quark left and added mixed spice and almond essence to it, it was quite nice. xxx

Recipe please? :drool:

 

[SpaceAngel]

Recipe please? :drool:

· 450g lean minced lamb or beef
· 1 large onion, finely chopped
· 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
· 2.5cm piece fresh root ginger, peeled and grated
· 1 fresh green chilli, seeded and finely chopped
· 2 tbsp curry paste
· 2 tbsp tomato purée
· 350ml lamb or vegetable stock
· 1 tbsp lemon juice
· 3 tbsp roughly chopped fresh coriander
· salt and freshly ground black pepper
preparation method

1. Brown the minced lamb in a large non-stick frying pan, without adding any oil. Fry over a medium heat for 5–6 minutes until well-browned, stirring frequently to break up larger pieces. Remove from the pan using a draining spoon and set aside.
2. Heat the frylight in the pan, then, when hot, add the onion and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until soft and translucent. Add the garlic, ginger, chilli and curry paste and cook for 2 more minutes, stirring all the time. Return the meat to the pan, add the tomato purée and stir until well mixed.
3. Pour in the stock, stir again, then reduce the heat, cover and simmer gently for 45 minutes. Remove the lid and cook for a further 10 minutes or until the meat is very tender and the sauce is thick.
4. Add the lemon juice and simmer for 3 minutes. Stir in 2 tbsp of the coriander and season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve hot with the remaining coriander scattered over the top.

sorry, having a blonde day!

Unfortunately we have to set a limit of 25 members in the team otherwise it becomes unmanageable and at the mo we don't have any spare places :sigh:

I'm sure any one of the other teams would love to have you, if you have any bother keep in touch as people may drop out..

good luck on your journey!

Sx

PS did you mean you wanted to loose 81 lbs in Nov?
