Low Fat Cheese (42g per serving - I found that 42g was enough for the 4 servings but feel free to add more if you wish)<br />
<br />
Preheat Oven to 200 degrees<br />
<br />
Fry onion, garlic and mushroom (cut finely) for a few mins until brown.<br />
<br />
Add beans, tomato (or passata) herbs, worchester and paprika and cook for another few mins.<br />

x6 tbs Green lentils<br />
X6 tbs Pearl barley<br />
Fry light<br />
<br />
Pop smoe fry light in a big saucepan, chop up your onions quite fine, then pop them in the saucepan and fry for a few mins, add a tablespoon of curry powder and fry them both for a few mins.<br />
Add water (not sure how much but I have included a pic so you can see roughly how much. Add 4 chicken stock cubes. Leave to heat ont he boil.<br />
Then add your cut up leeks, pearl barley, tomatoe puree, cous cous, mixed veg (not sure how much i put in i just chuck in however many i feel) and green lentils and again leave to boil and cook.<br />
Leave for a good hour on simmer. At some point there will be a film of skin at the top just scrape that out and pop in the bin.<br />
<br />
Voila! It makes LOADS of soup so i wouldnt count the puree but its 1 syn for the whole soup! Pearl Barley is free on green and ee but 5 syns for 28g on red.<br />
<br />
Lovely jubbly.<br />

<br />
Boil the sausages to loosen the skin then peal the skin away and chop the sausages into large bite size pieces. Soften the onion by cooking it in a little boiling water then add the rest of the ingredients (the stock cube in enough water to almost cover the ingredients) and cook until beans and lentils are cooked through and the mix has turned into a nice thick casserole. Serve with White and Sweet potato wedges made in the oven with fry light or you could serve with mash and mixed veg. Additional veg can be added to the casserole and/or the sausages left out. </span>Mikeys_mumhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07676530349631242547noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-713784424538889017.post-56217303457111980412010-05-23T11:15:00.001-07:002010-05-23T11:15:06.811-07:009 syn hummus!<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana, geneva, lucida, 'lucida grande', arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">1 can drained and washed chickpeas<br />

When ready, I chopped them up into odd sized pieces, some big some small. Let them to cool for 5 mins.<br />
<br />
In a jug whisk together four eggs and a dash of milk and some pepper. I put the spuds in a non-stick frying pan with some frylight, 'fried' them for a few minutes, poured over the egg mixture. Leave the base to fully cook (approx 5 mins), when it's ready, put it under the grill on medium for the top to cook.<br />

I used 84g grated reduced fat cheese, and slice some cherry toms and red onion.

Season with salt & pepper, add stock cube and about 2 cups of water. Simmer until cauliflower is soft and water has evaporated. Mash the cauliflower a bit so you don't have too many big chunks.<br /><br />While the cauliflower is cooking bring the pasta to the boil. When cooked add to the cauliflower and stir in the grated parmesan.<br /><br />In another pan brown the breadcrumbs in the remaining olive oil until toasted and fragrant. Add the lemon zest and parsley and stir well. If you have a few spare syns, a couple of tablespoons of pine nuts wouldn't go amis!<br /><br />To serve, fill your late with winter greens or rocket and spoon the pasta over it. Sprinkle with the breadcrumb mix and eat! Its very filling!!!
