Last night i attempted my first slimming world meal, using a recipe i found in the slimming world magazine, for Jambalaya (I altered the ingredients slightly to fit in better with what i had in the fridge!)
First i sprayed my wok with Pam (cooking spray) and cooked 2 large onions (i cut them chunky as that is the way we like them) and 200g green beans (topped and tailed) for around 5 minutes. Then i added garlic (4 cloves chopped finely), ginger (4 cm piece peeled and grated) and cooked for another minute or so, until it started to soften. I stirred in cajun spice mix (1 tsp) and 200ml of chicken stock (this is a third of the quantity of chicken stock that you will be using in this dish) and cooked it for another 3 minutes.
I then added 1 can of chopped tomatos, 350g chicken (cut into strips) and another 200ml of chicken stock, brought it to the boil and added 250g rice, then i covered the wok and simmered for 10 minutes.
Lastly I stirred in 1 can kidney beans, brought it back to the boil, added the remaining stock and simmered for 7 minutes, before adding 200g of zucchini (julienned), and leaving to simmer for a final 3 minutes..(by this time the rice should be cooked and the liquid should have been absorbed. Serves 4 people
It should look somthing like this!
