This Little Piggy Goes to Atkins

Ooooh cheese on toast - gosh one of my favourite things ever!

It's been p'ing down all day here, but I really must make the effort and take the dog out soon.
Lunch was mozzarella, tomato, basil and then left over Swiss roll.

Fry up for dinner tonight!

Husband had fry up with fried bread (mim) for tea, I decided to try the Courgette noodles. Now, I've never been a fan of Courgettes, but I salted them as per ml's instructions. I don't have a spiral contraption, but I had a Julienne type peeler. I left them for 15 mins, washed them through and fried them in butter with lemon zest, capers, basil, parsley and at the end added a small amount of feta and crumbled fried parma. Delicious!

Oooo had not thought to add feta or lemon Zest to my courgette noddles - what a yummy idea

Salting really helps! Changes their texture and improves flavor. I never used to like courgette either but adore them now. Great with many kinds of sauce, cheese sauces, even pesto.

I'm so impressed that I'm thinking of getting a spiralo thing from Amazon!

 

[Mis-behave]

I think diem should get commission !

 

[Supersmileyme]

Lol, yes she should!

 

[moonlights]

I think Susie was the first on here to get one! I copied her with much haste. They seem expensive for something that just makes fancy vegetables but it gets used a lot.

Check this out on AMZN: Gefu 13460 Spiral Cutter Spirelli http://amazon.co.uk/dp/B0026RMEK4

 

[stubbsey]

thankyou for that xx

 

[Supersmileyme]

I would go for this one, spiralo, as it is the vertical one http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B000OM5N9W/ref=redir_mdp_mobile

The reviews I've read say it's easier to use than spirali which is horizontal.

 

[Supersmileyme]

And cheaper too!

 

[stubbsey]

for some odd reason my browser won't let me open that page diem x

Whichever one you get, you will love hun - and it makes the courgettes taste so yummy

I have the Spiralo - Lurch Spiralo: Amazon.co.uk: Kitchen & Home

I really like it because it gives you three options - spaghetti, thicker ones and sort of curly things, and although it was a bit more £ it gets used almost every day. I like the fact that it's vertical because it helps push harder stuff like carrots through.

They come up on eBay occasionally.

Omg, I've just had Courgette pasta again! This time with green pesto (2.9g carb per 47.5g), dash o cream, capers, lemon zest, feta, diced chicken breast. Wow, I could eat that every day. A hit with Mr I Hate Courgette too.

 

[Supersmileyme]

My coconut oil finally arrived today!

I'm ordering my spiralo on thurs, very excited.

 

[ladyfelsham]

Wow I love the sound of that courgette pesto, drool! Must try that this week

 

[Supersmileyme]

Either Will be fine!

Dessert was rhubarb and ginger fool. Couldn't eat much as it's very rich, but it was simple and tasty.
