{Recipe}Slimming World Paprika Pork

Hello and welcome back to my little blog!

I mentioned in my Meal Plan Monday post for this week that we were trying a new recipe this week.  I have to try new things maybe once a week, otherwise I get SO BORED!!! Like, literally, I can't face cooking something if we've had it over and over again. Now, don't get me wrong, I've a few fail safe regulars that I circulate a few times when I know time will be short or I'm using stuff up we have in, but even they get boring!

This week I asked Mr B to have a look through all my recipe books and pick out something new that we've not had before and he came up with quite a few but this one was convenient as I have pork in the freezer I had no idea what to do with.  I followed the recipe from the Slimming World Family Feasts on a Budget with a few of my own tweaks, as I tend to do!

So here it is, my take on Paprika Pork.

Ingredients 

500g lean pork (fillet or chops) sliced, all fat removed

2 large onions, thickly sliced

2 red peppers, cut into chunks

2 tbsp paprika

400ml chicken or vegetable stock

Fat free fromage frais to serve

Salt and pepper

Fry light

What to do....

1. Spray a large frying pan or wok with fry light and heat over a meadium heat

2. Add the onions and peppers and cook until slightly soft (around 5 minutes)

3. Add the pork and fry for another 5 minutes until the pork is browned

4. Sprinkle over the paprika and stir to ensure all the veg and pork is covered

5. Add the stock and bring to the boil.  Season if needed

6. Once boiling, reduce and simmer for 30 minutes

7. Serve with a dollop of fat free fromage frais, boiled rice and your favourite green vegetables

Really easy in terms of prep as you can chop everything up, bung it in the pan and let it simmer away while you get on with other things (cleaning the kitchen in my case!) 

Until next time, thanks for reading,

Meal Plan Monday - 3rd April 2017

Good Monday Morning to you!  And what a beautiful morning it is!

I've been in a bit of a funk with meal planning this last month, which has resulted in me losing a measly pound during the month of March!  Its been mainly due to the fact I've been away twice, plus Mothers Day and, I don't know about you, but I really struggle to get back on track after I've had a cheat day....hence why I try not to do it!

So determined April will get back on track, I've started as I mean to go on with a weekly food plan!  Apart from Easter and my youngest daughters birthday (Lord help me!) I'm hoping to have a good month.

So here's this weeks meal plan.....

Day	Breakfast	Lunch	Dinner
Monday	Overnight Oats	Quorn meatballs	Chicken Fried Rice
Tuesday	SW Pancakes	Quorn Meatballs	Paprika Pork
Wednesday	Overnight Oats	Quorn Meatballs	Gammon, egg & chips
Thursday	SW Pancakes	Quorn Curry & Cauli Rice	Chicken Chasseur
Friday	French toast w/rasberries & greek yoghurt	Quorn Curry & Cauli Rice	Bangers & Mash
Saturday		Quorn Curry & Cauli Rice	SW Burgers & Chips
Sunday	SW Pancakes	Roast Dinner

Trying a few new things this week....the bangers and mash are from Marks and Spencer and are meant to be lovely!  Will be doing some low syn gravy for those too.  

The Paprika Pork is a new one too so will share the recipe for that later in the week!  I'm into cooking things once at the minute too so today I'll cook three lots of Quorn meatballs (free) and portion them out for the week with cauliflower rice and green beans then on Thursday I'll do the same with the Quorn Curry.  Saves time and when I come in for lunch from wherever I've been, five minutes and I have food!  

Feel so much better just having a plan in place, much more in control and organised knowing I wont have to look around for food when I'm starving!  I never make good decisions in those scenarios.

Until next time, thanks for reading!!
