Tuna toastie

I made this the other day, I was due a shop so only had a few bits in.

You will need
Wholemeal bread
Tin of tuna
Extra light mayonnaise
Pinch of mustard powder
Chives
Salt and Pepper
Splash of balsamic vinegar
Tomatoes
Pickle
Mixed peppers
Laughing Cow Light triangles

1. Mix tuna with mayonnaise, mustard, chives, salt and pepper and balsamic.
2. Slice the tomato into thick slices and grill or fry in frylight.
3. Toast the bread
4. Spread toast with Laughing Cow Light add layer of peppers, followed by a layer of pickles.
5. Add tuna on top and finish off with grilled tomatoes.




I used two slices of wholemeal bread from a 800g loaf as my two healthy extras on a red day. Usually it's two slices from a 400g loaf but thought one slice from a 800g slice would be the same as two from the 400g.

Chantenay Carrot and Pea Soup

Ingredients

1 bag of Chantenay Carrots
1 Onion
750 ml of vegetable stock (I use Knorr Stock Pots)
Garden Peas
Salt and Pepper



1. Top and tail the carrots, you can peel them but I left the skin on.
2. Fry the onions for couple of minutes then add the carrots


3. Pour 500ml of the stock into the pan and cook until carrots are soft.


4. Once soft blitz the soup until smooth and add the remainder of the stock. If you don't like your soups thick just add boiling water until it is the consistency you like. Add salt and pepper to season, you can also add herbs if you like.


5. Finally add the peas and warm through.


 I got 7 servings from this soup and it was delicious.
