Vegetable Curry
serves 4
0 points per serving (so you can eat it all!).

Ingredients:
spray oil
onion, sliced
2 cloves garlic, crushed
2.5 cm ginger, grated
red chilli, de-seeded and chopped
teaspoon of turmeric
large can of chopped tomatoes
225g of fresh or frozen french or runner beans cut into 1 cm pieces
250 ml of stock made with a vegetable stock cube
2 fresh tomatoes, cut into wedges
salt and pepper to season

How to do it:
Spray large non-stick frying pan with the spray oil and cook the onion, garlic, ginger and the chilli for 4-5 mins, stirring occasionally.
Stir in the turmeric and fry for further 1-2 mins. Add the chopped tomatoes, the beans and the stock. Bring to the boil and simmer for 20 mins until the beans are tender.
Add the tomato wedges and simmer for 3-4 mins more. Season with salt and pepper.

eh voila! hope that made sense. if you serve it with rice then don't forget to add the points...

Kirsty, this sounds good...but I have a question for you. What kind of beans are "french or runner" beans? We have beans that are French cut but that is all I can think of. Maybe you could clarify of that point. Thank you so much for posting this.

Default Ah, the power of a picture!

Kirsty, thank you for the picture. It looks like what we call Green Beans. Oh, we Americans are so creative. Anyway, I think that now I will have hubby convert it over to US measuring system and it is yummy curry veggies for dinner tonight!

Thank you for the info and if I have any great recipe ideas I will post them.

Default hope you like it

i reckon that chopping green beans into 1cm pieces is near impossible though... i tend to chop them into small pieces, prob nearer a half-inch long...
if you like your curry strong then add more chilli!

Default Hope I remember this :)

Beef lettuce wraps (I think this came from the old "Simply the Best" cookbook).

Ing:
1 Lb. lean sirloin (I've made it with 1/2 Lb. and it works too)
4 cups of cooked angel hair pasta or rice noodles (cellophane noodles)
1 Tbsp Honey
1 Tbsp Soy Sauce
1 Tbsp. Balsalmic Vinegar
Red Pepper flakes
2 t olive oil or Sesame oil
Salt and pepper to taste
Leafy lettuce leaves

Instructions:
-Slice the beef into very thin strips and salt and pepper to taste (you can add tenderizer if needed before).
-Heat the oil in a non stick skillet.
-Saute the beef until it is browned.
-Add the Honey, Soy Sauce, Balsalmic, and red pepper flakes. Stir.
-Add the cooked noodles and mix well.
-Remove from the heat.
-lay the leaves on each plate and put the mixture on top.
-roll them up an eat like tacos

This serves 4 and is very quick and easy.
I count this as 8 pts., but I'm not entirely sure.

I'll check the recipe tonight to make sure this is right. Please excuse the spelling errors!
