No Count

Marie’s Basil and Tomato Soup

July 16, 2017 by admin 2 Comments

Marie’s Basil and Tomato Soup

This is suitable for vegans and free on No Count or if tracking (the whole dish is 1 point).  It is especially good when the tomatoes are big, juicy and in season.

Ingredients (serves 4-6):

  • 6 large ripe tomatoes (vine tomatoes are best)
  • 2 red peppers
  • a large onion
  • black pepper
  • 750 ml vegetable stock (Sainsbury’s Basics vegetable stock cubes are 0 points for one)
  • 2 tbsp tomato ketchup 50% less sugar (1 point)
  • a handful of basil, torn

Method:

  1. Pre- heat the oven to medium/hot 180C
  2. Chop the tomatoes, de-seed and chop the peppers and peel the onion and cut into wedges.
  3. Put all the vegetables in a roasting dish and roast for half an hour: they should be soft and charred at the edges.
  4. Put the vegetables and their juices, the stock, ketchup and basil in a liquidiser or blend until smooth.
  5. Season, re-heat if necessary and serve with a little basil on top.

(This soup freezes well, and you can use dried basil if you don’t have fresh.)

Spicy Jacket Potato

June 15, 2017 by admin Leave a Comment

Spicy Jacket Potato

A jacket potato, full of flavour!  This is 2 points on No Count, although you could swap the pepperoni for a cooked meat that is free – you’ll lose the spice but it won’t use any points.  The topping is 2 points, if tracking, but you will need to weigh and track your potato.

Ingredients (serves one):

  • a baking potato
  • 26g Protein cheese, grated
  • 3 slices Tesco pepperoni with paprika, garlic and chilli (2 points)
  • a red onion, finely chopped
  • 10 cherry tomatoes, halved
  • a handful of spinach

Method:

  1. Cook the jacket potato.
  2. When the potato is nearly ready, spray a pan with Frylight and cook the onion for about 4 minutes. Add the tomatoes and cook for a further 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  3. Cut the slices of pepperoni into small pieces and add to the pan with the spinach. Season and stir for a couple of minutes.
  4. Take the cooked potato and slice it in half. Sprinkle half the cheese over it, add the pepperoni mixture and then sprinkle on the rest of the cheese.
  5. Cook on 180C for 5 minutes, to allow the cheese to melt.
  6. This could be served with a side salad.

No Count Fritters

No Count Fritters

Fancy something a bit different for lunch? Try this recipe which was very kindly provided by Shona, a WW member.  I’ve tried them and they make a super, delicious and filling lunch; hubby really enjoyed this one!  Each fritter would be 2 points, if tracking.

Ingredients (serves 2):

  • a carrot, grated
  • a courgette, grated
  • 4 spring onions, finely chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, crushed
  • a handful each of coriander and parsley, finely chopped
  • 2 tbsp oat bran
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 Laughing Cow lightest cheese triangles

Method:

  1. Mix the carrot, courgette, spring onion, garlic, coriander and parsley.
  2. Beat the eggs and mix in the oat bran, then blend in the cheese triangles.
  3. Mix the egg mixture with the veg mixture.
  4. Spray a frying pan with Frylight and cook half the mixture first. Shape the fritter when it’s just been put into the pan.
  5. Cook for 5 minutes each side, turning once or twice. They will go quite dark brown, but they still taste amazing!

Served here with bacon medallions and cherry tomatoes.

Chicken Pesto Pasta Salad

Many thanks to Amanda Charlesworth for this recipe at just 1 point per serving on No Count.  (If you only use 7g of reduced fat pesto, this recipe will be free on No Count.) If tracking, it’s 6sp.
