Ooh good call, I nearly started this the other day...

I'm keen on avoiding diet foods (don't want low fat processed stuff that tastes minging and makes me crave proper food!) and we made this on New Year's Day to counteract the festive indulgance:

Steamed white fish with ginger and spring onion sauce:

Ingredients (serves 2):
2 fillets of white fish, eg sea bass

1 tablespoon of peanut oil,
1 garlic clove (crushed),
3 tablespoons of light soy sauce,
4 tablespoons of chicken stock,
3 tablespoons of rice wine,
1 tablespoon of oyster sauce,
3 tablespoons of julienned fresh ginger,
2 x half inch pieces of spring onion (using mainly the white part),
1 teaspoon of sugar and quarter teaspoon of sesame oil.

Method:
Steam the fish - 7-11 minutes depending on size.

Heat the oil in a saucepan, add the garlic and fry for 20 -30 seconds until fragrant (but not brown).
Add the rest of the ingredients and a pinch of white pepper.
Reduce the heat and simmer for about 2 minutes.

I calculate this as being about 3 points as it is, depending on the size of fish fillet. We had sea bass making it about 2 for the fish and 1pt for the sauce. We had it served with blanched pak choi but it would be gorgeous with some boiled rice to soak up the sauce. mmmmmmm.....

Anyone else?

Well it is an official WW recipe, but I love the banana bread It means you can eat cake without sinning (am enjoying a slice right now )

(google Weightwatchers banana bread recipe and you will find it)

Has anyone got any WW slow cooker recipes? I've just bought one and I'm dying to try it

and loose the pounds I gained over Christmas

I haven't got any official ww slow cooker recipes, but lots could be adapted.

eg. you could try coq au vin and choose how low you want it to go.

for 4 people,

8 skinless chicken thighs (2 points each)
4 streaky bacon (2 pts each)
onions
garlic
mushrooms
1 tablespoon olive oil for frying (2.5pt)
bay leaves
1 glass of white wine (2pt)
stock
dash of low fat creme fraiche at the end.

That comes to 7.5 pts per person.

You could get it lower by not pre-frying and halving the amount of bacon - 6pts each.

You would lose flavour by reducing the tasty bits of course! Personally, I would rather have a smaller portion of a full fat version so I don't feel deprived.
