🥪Cheese and onion sandwich🥪

No such thing as a Free lunch? This tasty sandwich begs to differ! Who loves a sandwich? What’s your favourite?
I love this cheese and onion sandwich, healthier and cheaper than a shop bought version.

🥪Ingredients 🥪

⭐️40g reduced-fat Cheddar, grated
⭐️2 spring onions, finely chopped
⭐️2 tbsp fat-free natural cottage cheese
⭐️2 small slices bread from a 400g wholemeal loaf

🤩Method 🤩

⭐️Mix the Cheddar with the spring onions and the cottage cheese, and use the mixture to fill the bread. Slice in half to serve. This is great with a mixed salad on the side.

🤩Recipe of the Week 🤩

Korean barbecue chicken

Korea’s cuisine has grown hugely in popularity in recent years... one bite of these gochujang-marinated, sesame-sprinkled chicken chunks will show you why!
This recipe is taken from our Ultimate Fakeaways cookbook, available exclusively to Slimming World members.

🤩Ingredients 🤩

⭐️2 level tbsp gochujang paste
⭐️2 tbsp rice wine vinegar
⭐️½ level tsp sugar
⭐️1cm piece fresh root ginger, peeled and grated
⭐️1 garlic clove, crushed
⭐️600g skinless and boneless chicken thighs, visible fat removed, each cut lengthways into 3 pieces
⭐️2 level tsp sesame seeds

🤩Method 🤩

⭐️Put the gochujang paste, vinegar, sugar, ginger, garlic and a little seasoning in a wide bowl and mix well. Add the chicken pieces, toss to coat and set aside to marinate – ideally 1 hour in the fridge, but even 10 minutes is worth it.

⭐️Heat your oven to 180°C/fan 160°C/gas 4.

⭐️Line a large baking tray with kitchen foil and arrange the chicken on the tray, spaced apart as much as possible. Scatter with the sesame seeds and roast for 20-25 minutes or until cooked through.

⭐️Transfer the chicken to a plate and serve with rice and lots of Speed vegetables or a crisp, finely chopped salad.
