Sausage, Mushroom and Red Pepper Mini Quiches

We were going on a picnic and i didn't want the boring old sandwiches, so i decided to make some mini quiches.
You can use any filling you like, but i chose Sausage, Mushroom and Red Pepper, topped with tomato.

Really easy to make, they can be syn free on extra easy and very tasty!!!

These are 2 syns for all 8 quiches.

Jalapeno Coleslaw

I was planning my weekly menu and decided that jalapeno coleslaw would be good with a meal i was preparing, so i set about making a syn free one.


Ingredients

½ red cabbage
½ white cabbage
1 large carrot
1 large onion
1 cup pickled jalapeno slices
1 tube quark
4 tbsp fat free natural Greek yogurt
1 tbsp tomato puree
salt and pepper to taste

Method

Shred the cabbage, carrot and onion, mix together. Finely chop the jalapenos, mix together the quark, yogurt, and tomato puree, stir in the jalapenos and season to taste, mix into the vegetables.

Coronation Chicken

I've found lots of recipes for coronation chicken, but not a syn free one.
My adaptation isn't quite syn free but the closest i could get, without having to use a mullerlight yogurt.

It is thick and creamy, with a great kick, theres a crunch from the apple and it has so much flavour.

1.5 syns for the whole batch.


Preheat oven 200c, 400f, gas mark 5.

Ingredients

2 chicken breasts seasoned and roasted for 20 minutes, then diced.
1 apple peeled and diced
1 onion diced
2 tbsp quark
6 tbsp fat free natural yogurt
1 tbsp mango chutney
1 tsp madras curry powder
salt and pepper to taste
handful chopped coriander

Method

Mix all the wet ingredients together with the curry powder, then add the chopped, chicken apple and onion. Stir in the coriander and season to taste.

This dish is great served in a sandwich, on a jacket potato, with pasta or rice.

Ceasar Salad

Who'd have thought you could have a creamy dressing on your salad! It's tangy, creamy and very tasty, in fact i would say it tastes better than a full fat dressing!!
