Re: Easy Stress-free Recipes
Can you cook it and then reheat it later, Cath?
Sounds like something I could attempt!
Re: Easy Stress-free Recipes
Yes you can Pulisa, and it can be frozen too apparently. The easiest way would be after mixing it all together just pile it into it in one of those aluminium trays...the larger size ones, cover and freeze it before baking or transfer any baked leftovers to a smaller container and freeze. Mine didn't last that long lol!
:D
Re: Easy Stress-free Recipes

Re: Easy Stress-free Recipes
I make my own Hummus... the only caveat is you need a good food processor/blender. Fast, extremely easy and delish! :D
2 cans of garbanzo beans
3-4 tablespoons of sesame seeds
1-2 cloves of garlic
1 tablespoon of cumin
2-3 tablespoons of olive oil (I prefer extra virgin)
salt/pepper and other toppings (cilantro/crushed red pepper etc) to taste and optional.
Empty one can including liquid and one can drained into the blender/food processor. Chop the garlic and add that along with the sesame seeds, cumin and olive oil. Start the blender on low and increase the speed making sure ingredients are blending smoothly. It really is as simple as that. Place in a serving container and refrigerate until chilled. Add toppings, drizzle a little more olive oil on top and serve with fresh veggies and pita chips.

I love casseroles this time of year.
You can use any meat or just veg. Put in to stock, and a bit of ketchup for thickening and flavour. Leave in the oven on low-med for hours, then make the remains in to soup. You can freeze if you make in bulk. Just right for this time of year and good for getting rid of scraps. Cheap too. :)
Re: Easy Stress-free Recipes
Have to agree Carnation, I do love casseroles and stews this time of year.
Another favourite low fat meal is Slimming World's Paprika Chicken, using skinless & boneless chicken thighs...10-12 pieces to serve 4 and a smaller pack of 6 to serve 2 which I buy in Aldi quite cheaply. Then a mix of 2 garlic cloves minced and 1 tablespoon each of hot paprika and oregano and 1 teaspoon of lemon zest to coat the chicken. Put into an oven dish or tin and spray lightly with low calorie cooking oil and put into a 220c fan oven, 240c non fan, or gas 9...yes high temp required...for 25 mins.
Transfer to a warm serving dish then add 120g of Quark which is a very low fat cream cheese, to the chicken juices before pouring over the chicken. The recipe uses pasta with it, and I've also had it with rice. Leftovers can be frozen.
:D
