Uses for Quark

Add very low fat fromage frais to quark with some herbs & garlic to make a lovely dip.

Add garlic puree (you don’t need very much) to a tub of quark, mix together and keep in the fridge to add to almost anything! Try dipping slimming world chips into it or use as a topping for jacket potatoes.

Mix with a tin of tuna, chopped spring onion, red pepper and a tsp of paprika for a sandwich filling or jacket potato topping.

Mix salmon with a tub of quark place on a bed of rocket leaves and top with asparagus and black pepper. (Lovely as a starter)

Mix quark with cooked leeks, mushrooms, fat free fromage frais or yoghurt and stir through pasta. It makes a really nice creamy sauce.

Quark is a good alternative to cottage cheese when making quiche, just whisk it into the eggs and pour over the base mixture.

Make a sugar free jelly up as the packet says and set aside to cool (2 sins). Mix a matching flavoured Muller light with a pot of quark. Carefully stir in jelly and allow to set in the fridge over night.

Mix equal parts quark and Mullerlight (any flavour). Add a little sweetener and put into ice cream maker - delicious!

Add sweetener, mix well and use as a free topping on fruit.

Fat free dumplings

Ingredients
2 tbsp self-raising wholemeal flour
1/2 small courgette (zucchini)
seasoning to taste (salt, pepper, herbs etc)

To make

Coarsely grate the courgette into a bowl. Add the flour and seasoning, and mix with a few teaspoons of cold water to form a soft dough.
Turn the heat of your mince, stew, whatever down as low as possible.

Make the dumpling dough into 2 equal-size balls and place on top of your stew/mince

Cover and cook over a low heat for 15-20 minutes, until the dumplings are cooked, stirring 3 or 4 times but making sure not to disturb the dumplings.

I did try this in my slow-ish cooker, but it was a disaster, so for hob-only cooking (in my experience)
