DONER SPICED MEATLOAF
Ingredients;
1 lb minced lean lamb
3 tsp dried mint
2 tsp cumin powder
1 tsp mint sauce OR 1 tbs chopped fresh mint
1 tsp garlic granules OR 1-2 cloves crushed garlic
1 tsp onion salt OR ½ a small onion minced
½ tsp sea salt
Generous grind of black pepper

Oven Temp: Moderately hot / 375F / 190 / Gas 5

Method;
Put everything in a food processor if you want it ground finely for a smoother texture or just mix it all very well by hand. If you don’t have a processor get the butcher to mince the meat twice or just knead the meat mixture with your hands until the texture smoothes out.

Form into a rough loaf shape and place onto a rack stood in a baking pan. If the lamb is really lean you don’t need to do this. Bake in the middle of the oven for about an hour. It is quite a dense loaf so it must cook all the way thorough. I sometimes cook it in a loaf tin or shape into burgers and grill them.

Could serve it sliced on a pitta with salad

diet coke chicken

Yes i know it sounds weird but i just remembered i used to do it on ww and its LURVELY..... you have to try it to realise how yum it is!

Ingrediants - Chicken, Diet coke and chinese mixed spice or tin of chopped tomatoes.

Chop up the chicken and brown the bits in a frying pan with frylight. Add a can of diet coke and a heaped teaspoon of chinese mixed spice and keep stirring and flippin over so that the "sauce" goes really sticky looking. The diet coke will sort of evaporte and leave this sticky thing.
Just make sure you try and get the stickyness onto the chicken as much as poss and serve with sw chips and salad.

Sheperds pie

This was better than I thought it would turn out, it was an experiment as I am normally lazy and get the sachet but wanted it as syn free as poss.

You need:-
Parsnips (chopped and softened)
Carrots (chopped and softened)
Peas
x1 can chopped tomatoes
Beef stock x3 with a little water i think i used 500ml
Lean mince meat.
Loads potatoes sprinkled with mixed herbs
Milk x4 dashes.

I steamed my meat to make sure as much fat had drained as possible.
Then went on to steam all the veg and potatoes.
Put in a dish and bung all the ingredients apart from the potatoes mixed herb and milk.
I left this to soak up the juices for an hour but i dunno if it would be the same if you just cooked it normally.
Whilst this was hapening i set the oven to 180 and mashed the mixed herbs and potatoe with milk to a smooth consistancy.

then I spread the potatoe nice and thick and bunged in the oven for 30 mins.

It was LUSH! and cos Hubby doesnt like mince meat its alllllllllllllllllllll mine mwahahahhaah!

If you want you can syn the 3 stock cubes which would be 3 syns but i havent cos its for hte whole thing.

Syn free pancakes

OMG these are lush, I got this off of Minimins curtosy of poster "sweet cheeks" and they are divine!! had them three days in a row for bfast and sooooooooooooooooo scrummy. Thank you Sweet cheeks they are lush! Hope you dont mind me nicking the recipe.

You need....

x3 Eggs

2-3 Teaspoons sweetener (depending on own taste)

3-4 Drops of vanilla essence

Seperate the white from the yolk and put into separate bowls, Whisk the egg white until fluffy and add the sweetener,

In the other bowl add the vanilla essence then fold the yolk into the egg white.

Heat a frying pan with frylight, add the mix and spread as you would a normal pancake (i made two out of this recipe) after a few mins flip over.

For mine i like the normal old fashoined way of lemon and sugar but i substitute it with canderel.

but you could add any fruit or yoghurt for instance to make it how you like it!
