Fish in Foil
all ingredients are allowance quantities

allowed white fish, eg. snapper
assorted mix of vegetables eg. zucchini, celery, capsicum, cabbage, bok choy
something to add extra flavour eg. chilli, garlic, ginger, lemon/lime slices, a dash of vinegar

Using approximately 1 metre of foil, fold it in half and lightly spray with oil in the middle, not the whole folded sheet of foil.
Place shredded/finely sliced vegetables in the middle in a pile.
Place fish (skin side down) on the vegetables.
Sprinkle/rub flavourings over flesh (of fish, not you )
lay lemon/lime slices on top of fish, or sprinkle with vinegar etc.

Fold the foil into a parcel shape, leaving a little gap for some steam to escape.

Bake in a pre-heated hot oven until fish is cooked. You will know the fish is cooked when it flakes up easily and you can easily pierce the flesh with a knife.

I am not a very good fish cook, and this is the only way i can cook fish well.
Also a great recipe for those on Maintenance

Green Chicken Patties
all ingredients are allowance quantities

chicken
mushroom, chopped
spinach, chopped
basil, chopped
chives, snipped
garlic powder
mayo allowance
2 crispbread made into breadcrumbs

Using a jug blender or stab blender, make chicken into mince and then add the green ingredients. I did have problems with the jug blender incorporating them all together.
Tip out onto a plate and add mayo and crispbread crumbs and combine. It will probably be a bit of a wet mess, mine was.
(At this point I was about to give up and throw it in the bin).
shape into 2 large or 4 small patties and cook in frypan over medium heat. Flip when they have firmed up quite nicely on the bottom.

I was shocked at how good they tasted

Adventurous Soup
all ingredients are allowance quantities

zucchini, chopped
onion, chopped
apple, chopped and peeled (I used a half apple)
1 cup water
spinach leaves, washed
2 Kraft Premium Crispbread
curry powder to taste
fresh chilli, optional
salt
chicken allowance, cooked and cut into thin strips

spray saucepan with oil and lightly brown zucchini, onion and apple. Add water and curry powder and cook for one minute. Add chilli, if using. Add spinach leaves and salt to taste. Let the spinach cook until it is wilted. Place the soup in a blender with the 2 crispbread and blend. (Medium heat on stove)

Add the cooked chicken strips to your bowl and serve the soup over it.

It tasted really good, the sweetness of the apple and curry complimented each other. I used to put the chicken into the blender as well, but the baby food consistency put me off.

I have been reading these recipies, and they all sound really delicious, and I will try them soon, I see that mayonaissw is mentioned a couple of times, the only mayonaisse I can find on the shelves all have added sugar(as their 1st ingredient) any suggestions on what to use?

Hey Rob

Our programs state to use 98% Fat Free Mayaonnaise. I use Praise Mayonnaise, but Kraft also make a 98%FF too. The trick to extending the 1 tsp of mayo is to add a couple of dribbles of Sprite Zero to it, and then whisking it. And sometimes when I am cooking veges I will add a dash of Sprite Zero at the end to add some extra flavour and make a light "sauce".

Good Luck
