Lamb and Colcannon Pie

I made this last week and it was so good I am definitely going to be eating more colcannon from now on!

Ingredients 
#
Lamb
Onion
Peppers
Garlic
Chopped Tomatoes
1 tbsp Chicken Bovril
Mint
Sat and Pepper
Instant mash
Cabbage
Spring Onion

Method

1. Fry lamb with onions and garlic until brown.
2. Add chopped tomatoes, mint, salt and pepper and simmer for 5 minutes.
3. Place mixture in oven proof dish and bake on 180 for an hour. I found the mixture when really thick so may be worth adding some water when adding the tomatoes.
4. Make instant mash as directed and add cooked cabbage and chopped spring onion. I also added black pepper and some more mint.
5. Place mash on top of lamb and bake in oven until crispy on the top.

I would have preferred to have real mash but had no potatoes in, if using real mash I suggest adding a egg when mashing to give it a creamy texture. You could always add different vegetables to the sauce, carrots would work well.

Quick and Easy Meal Ideas #1

I thought I would do a series on quick and easy meals to do on Slimming World because I often used the excuse that I didn't have enough time to make healthy meals when in reality this is not true all it takes is a little planning and a few special ingredients.

So number one is a lovely stodgy meal for those of you that enjoy green days but it can also be had on extra easy.

You will need:

• Tesco meat free burgers (1 syn each)
• Instant mash potato
• Tin of baby carrots
• Beef stock
• Mushrooms
• Onions

Then you will have to:

1. Cook burgers (20 minutes)
2. Chop onions and mushrooms and fry until soft (5 minutes)
3. Make up the stock and add some instant mash until it is the consistency you like then add to pan of onions and mushrooms (1 minute)
4. Boil the kettle and make mash as directed (2 minutes)
5. Heat baby carrots (2 minutes)
6. Put together on a plate and enjoy!

As you can see this can all be done in 20 minutes! It is delicious, warming and a great winter's night meal.
