🤩Recipe of the Week 🤩

Steak and chips

It’s a classic – and totally Free!

🥩🍟Ingredients 🥩🍟

⭐️1 large baking potato, cut into chips
⭐️Low-calorie cooking spray
⭐️1 lean beef steak, visible fat removed
⭐️2-3 tbsp fat-free natural fromage frais
⭐️1 level tsp Dijon mustard
⭐️Mixed salad, to serve

🤩Method 🤩

⭐️Preheat your oven to 200°C/fan 180°C/gas 6. Cook the chips in a saucepan of boiling water over a high heat for 10 minutes, or until just starting to soften. Drain, return to the pan and shake to roughen the edges a little.

⭐️Tip the chips into a non-stick baking tray, spritz with low-calorie cooking spray and toss well. Cook in the oven for 30 minutes or until they’re done how you like them, then season with a little salt.

⭐️When the chips have 15 minutes to go, spray a non-stick frying pan with low-calorie cooking spray and put it over a high heat. Lightly season the steak and cook for 2½ minutes on each side for medium rare, or 3 minutes on each side for medium. Remove from the heat, cover the steak with foil and set aside for at least 5 minutes to rest.

⭐️In a small serving pot, mix the forage frais with the mustard. Serve the steak and chips with the mustard sauce and the mixed salad.

🤩Recipe of the Week 🤩

🍲Slow-cooker chicken and mushroom fricassee🍲

Chunks of chicken and veg simmered in a punchy paprika, garlic and herb sauce. Itʼs exactly the kind of simple, supremely satisfying recipe your slow cooker was made for!

🤩Ingredients 🤩

⭐️2 large leeks, thickly sliced
⭐️3 large carrots, sliced
⭐️400g white or button mushrooms, halved or quartered
⭐️2 garlic cloves, crushed
⭐️1 tsp paprika
⭐️1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves, plus extra to serve
⭐️4 skinless and boneless chicken breasts, cut into small chunks
⭐️3 bay leaves
⭐️250ml hot chicken stock
⭐️2 level tbsp cornflour
⭐️4 tbsp plain quark

🤩Method 🤩

⭐️Put the leeks, carrots, mushrooms and garlic in your slow-cooker pot. Mix the paprika, thyme, ½ tsp salt and some black pepper in a shallow dish, then add the chicken and toss to coat well. Lay the chicken chunks on top of the vegetables in the slow cooker, add the bay leaves and pour over the stock. Cover and cook on high for 2-2½ hours or until the chicken is almost tender.

⭐️Mix the cornflour with a little water to make a paste and stir it into the fricassee. Cover again and cook for 30 minutes or until thickened.

⭐️Stir the quark into the fricassee and scatter over the extra thyme. This is great served with swede mash.

If you don’t have a slow cooker, put all the ingredients up to the stock in a non-stick casserole pan, cover and cook for 1 hour in the oven at 160°C/fan 140°C/gas 3. Stir in the cornflour paste, return to the oven and cook for a further 30 minutes or until the chicken is cooked, then follow step 3.

🤩Recipe of the Week 🤩

🍲Chicken and leek baked risotto🍲

Some nights, you don’t want to spend hours in the kitchen… Step forward our low-effort risotto. It’s baked rather than simmered on the hob, so there’s hardly any stirring. And you only use one pan, which means minimal washing-up!

🤩Ingredients🤩

⭐️Low-calorie cooking spray
⭐️2 large leeks, finely sliced
⭐️500g courgettes, coarsely grated
⭐️2 garlic cloves, crushed
⭐️250g dried risotto rice
⭐️700ml hot chicken stock
⭐️4 skinless and boneless chicken breasts, cut into chunks
⭐️3 tbsp fat-free natural Greek yogurt
Juice of 1 lemon
⭐️Small pack fresh basil, leaves picked

🤩Method 🤩

⭐️Preheat your oven to 200°C/fan 180°C/gas 6.

⭐️Spray a wide flameproof non-stick casserole dish with low-calorie cooking spray and place over a medium heat. Add the leeks and courgettes, and fry for 5-6 minutes, stirring often, or until they have softened. Add the garlic and cook for a further 2 minutes. Add the rice and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the rice starts to look translucent.

⭐️Increase the heat and add the stock, stirring everything together. Bring to a simmer, add the chicken and season lightly. Bring back to a simmer, stir, cover and transfer to the oven to bake for 10 minutes.

⭐️Remove the risotto from the oven, give it another stir and return to the oven, uncovered, for a final 15 minutes, or until the rice is tender and almost all of the stock has been absorbed. Remove from the oven, stir through the yogurt, lemon juice to taste, and the basil. Top with a twist of freshly ground black pepper and serve hot.
