This a fab way of cooking roast potatoes as the stock keeps them lovely and soft and adds a nice little background flavour
TIPS
if you have hard potatoes par boil them first
turn the potatoes half way through the cooking time to ensure both tops and bottoms are cooked
all the liquid doesn’t have to be evaporated but 90% of it should be that way you know they are cooked
INGREDIENTS
potatoes of your choice
1 x oxo cube
half a pint of boiling water
spray oil
In the video below you will see i used a fat separator jug which is on my Amazon Shop press the link it will take you there then look under kitchen gadgets https://www.amazon.co.uk/shop/julesthelazycook
As you can see it makes removing the fat so easy, to be honest I’m not sure why I didn’t buy one of these years ago as they make the job so much easier.
I love a good curry and especially ones that are easy to do! well as you know i don’t do fussy and when your cooking over a weekend its nice to have something special to eat without spending hours of cooking it. In this curry i have used a spice kit by Spicentice and have to had it to these guys they certainly have got this right this kit is also syn free if your following Slimming World but if not then they are a really healthy option as they contain no nasty’s here is my video of how i used the kit.

Got to admit when i first did this i frazzled the bacon and the kitchen roll stuck to the rashers but god loves a trier so i persevered with it and found a way that worked for me so here goes:-
TOP TIPS
Dont pat the kitchen roll down after laying the bacon down this makes the kitchen roll stick to the rashers
It will depend on the type and thickness of bacon you use as to how long you want to microwave it for and how crispy or not crispy you like it (i like mine well done)
If you build the power up slowly this stops the bacon becoming overdone and you can get it cooked the way you like it
Each microwave is different so have play around with heat and time settings once you have cracked it you wont look back………………….. no more cleaning messy grill pans out!
Such a fab and easy dip – love making this to go with chicken keebabs (saves on using syns on mayo!) and is so fresh well worth making especially if your having a BBQ or a Indian meal
INGREDIENTS
Fat Free Yogurt
Mint – fresh is best
Cucumber
Salt
Lemon
TOP TIPS
Adjust the dip to your taste by adding less or more of all the ingredients experiment until you get the taste you like when i started making this dip i added less of everything then slowly slowly added more of each ingredient until it matched what i wanted it to be
This is such a lovely way of eating fish (if like me your a bit fish averse) but i do try 🤣🤣🙈.
In this version I added Spicentice Herby Fish Rub which is one of my favourites it has a unique taste which works really well especially in this dish. You can get these rubs from http://www.spicentice.com use discount code JULES20 for 20% off any order AFFILIATE
You will see i have said flour for dusting is optional at the moment it can be difficult to get hold of flour so it’s not a deal breaker if you can’t get it, however if you have it I would use it as personally I think it really helps the cornflakes or breadcrumbs stick better.
These are so easy to make all i used was instant mashed potatoe flakes (WHICH IF FOLLOWING SLIMMING WORLD NOW CARRIES A SYN VALUE) then added some chives but you could add anything you want the key to this is not to add too much mixture to the moulds keeping a thin layer will give you a thin crispy waffle but if you like them full and softer add more mixture!
If you want a truly syn free waffle use potatoes, microwave them then scoop out the flesh add the flavouring and an egg to bind then follow the instructions in the video.
To make them even more interesting you could add bacon, mushroom or even a smattering of cheese the choices are endless. These could be batch cooked and frozen to use at a later date
These are a fantastic alternative to cereals in their traditional form as you can batch cook these ahead and they will keep in an air tight container for a couple of days. They make a fantastic mid afternoon snack served with fruit and are so filling, on the video below i doubled the quantities to make 2 breakfasts so 2 x HEb (oats)
I also used Sukrin sweetener which is a natural alternative to sugar but you can use whatever is your usually sugar substitute
