Pete's Recipe Book

Hi, I'm new to this site, but have been with slimming world since June. I have an extremely limited food list due to being highly fructose/fructan intolerant, can't eat any of the muller yoghurts or hifi bars and no fruit whatsoever. Am looking forward to adapting some of these recipes around my allowed foods, biggest problem is onions which I cannot have, but have been using that asoefita powder in my cooking as a substitute for a while.

Thanks for such a great thread, now need to stock up my spice rack.

I Bought the lamb in Tesco, it appears to be available only in the larger stores!
Ellebear. A meat probe is a digital thermometer, very useful, small with a metal probe like a knitting needle, easy to see & quite accurate.

Hi there, according to my book per 100g:
Beef mince has to be less than 5% fat
Lamb mince has 2 syns if 16% fat or under. Over 16% fat and the syns are 5
Extra lean pork mince is free. Less than 8% fat is 0.5 syns. More than 8% is 5.5
Turkey mince has to be less than 5% fat to be free, more than 5% is 2 syns.

Hope this helps
 
thankyou so much for replying jayarrr x

Top post, thank you! Jayarrr.

Pete is an absolute star. He has created so many options for a range of meals. Good on you Pete.
 
Went to Tesco's yesterday & they now only have lean lamb , which is less than 16% fat =3.5 syns per 100g but I noticed that lean lamb as meat chunks is free (so you could chop up this to make mince?) I will keep on looking at the other Supermarkets to see what they have!
