Title: Help please from all you cooking types
Post by: Fred Elliot on Monday, October 2, 2006, 17:07:31
Due to recent health problems I have been put on a specific high fibre diet.

Basically my staplediet should predominantly be ;

Fish
Chicken
Pasta
Rice
Fresh Veg
Fruit

Now I have not got a problem with that as I like all the things that I need to eat but my problem is trying to vary it so I dont get bored shitless (pardon the pun !) with it.

I love pasta but I am the only one in the family that does and I am fuckedif I am going to spend out 2.00 on a pasta sauce and throw 3/4 of it away.

Over to you celebrity chefs !

1 clove garlic, minced

1/4 lb. mushrooms, sliced

Try using turkey mince for a chilli/bolognese/tacos etc etc.

Gives you an option with the pasta and the rice and is healthier than red meat. Make plenty of it and then freeze it into 1 serving portions. Then you have some microwave madness for later.

FWIW, I used to cook using jars of sauces, but if you make your own it goes further and is cheaper in the long run. All you need is a mixture of stock/chopped tomatos and herbs/spices as a basic mix.

I usually cook a load of chicken up in half of the cheap pasta sauces add a load of peppers and chilli and then bang half in the fridge for the next day to use with some wholemeal wraps.

Add the rest of the sauce and pasta to the rest still in the pan and you have a couple of meals sorted.

Quick microwave job the next day and your laughing.

Highly recommend Jordan’s luxury crunch range for breakfast.  Full of your nuts and fruit and just bang on some fresh raspberries/blueberries/blackberries and you have a cracking breakfast.

Grab one of those packs of smoked salmon off bits (the non cleanly sliced stuff, normaly pretty cheap). Get some Crème fraîche and some single cream. Chuck it all in a saucepan and heat it through (half and half wiit the cream and fraishe, judge it on the amount of salmon you have), with some squzed lemon/lime and a bit of coriander to  add that fresh flavour. serve over some sort of pasta shapes, preferably tanglatelli (sp? - the stuff which is liked flattened spaghetti.)
