was just going to say i thought mushy peas were superfree too ???

Peas and most beans have too many carbs to be free on the Original plan, however, they are superspeed foods so eat them on Green or EE days and enjoy

Consultant31, does this mean my mushy pea curry made with 3 tins of mushy pease & 1 tin of baked beans with sweetener & onions has enough free veg without adding anymore to my plate except rice?

Hope these recipes might be of use to some of you:-

Chicken & Ham Pate


1 chicken breast (cooked and diced),
Small handful of wafer thin ham,
1 large tub very low fat cottage cheese,
1 tsp garlic,
1 tbsp chopped parsley.

Blend all ingredients together until smooth.

Liver & bacon pate

1lb liver of your choice chopped
4-6oz bacon chopped
1 large onion finely chopped
1-2 cloves garlic crushed
Frylight
1 tub quark
Fry the onion and garlic in the Frylight until soft. Add the liver and bacon and fry until cooked. Place everything in a food processor and process until as smooth as you prefer. Add quark and process until blended. Divide into containers cool and refrigerate or freeze.


Smoked salmon pate


8oz smoked salmon pieces (or mackerel if preferred)
8oz natural low fat cottage cheese.
Lemon juice
Black pepper.

Blend all ingredients together until smooth.

Spicy Mexican spread

Mash 200g of red kidney beans with very low fat fromage frais and half a teaspoon of mild chilli powder. Mix in half a 100g can of sweetcorn, half a chopped red pepper and 1 finely chopped spring onion. Leave chunky or blend smooth if preferred.

Hummus



Three tins of chickpeas
Juice and rind of two lemons
Salt
1 fat clove of garlic
Tub of very low fat fromage frais
Blend all together until smooth.

All these recipes keep well in the fridge for a couple of days, and would be equally nice on crispbread or as a filling for a jacket potato.

Hmmm, these sound good. Except liver and bacon, bleurgh
Would quark work instead of cottage cheese? Maybe make it a bit richer tasting though still free? Esp like the sound of smoked salmon pate at the moment as I am currently embarked on a fish week experiment!

If I'm not sure about the Syn value I revert to the 20 calories = 1 syn calculation. I'd like to think you could reduce it a little by accounting for the carrot as free food but that's wishful thinking!
