BBQ Tips for Fantastic Weight Loss!!

Now that summer is here in earnest (cue rainstorms!) I thought I'd post some info to help you lovely members enjoy those fabulous BBQ's and still have a cracking weight loss next week! I just had to share my fabulous Spicy BBQ sauce recipe with you - which is ideal served with hot BBQ'd food and is the perfect accompaniment for grilled steaks, pork, lamb, chicken & burgers.

Spicy Barbeque Sauce
Serve 4
Syns per serving: 1 (on all plans)
Preparation time: 5 mins
Cooking time: 15 mins

1 tsp olive oil
½ onion finely chopped
2 garlic cloves crushed
1 x 198g/7oz can chopped tomatoes
1 level tblsp tomato puree
Juice of ½ a lemon
1 level tps Dijon mustard
Few shakes of Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp chilli powder or a couple of drops of Tabasco sauce
1 level tblsp tomato ketchup
1 tblsp wine vinegar
Salt & freshly ground black pepper
1. heat oil in a small pan and sauté the onion and garlic over a low heat until soft, golden and translucent.
2. Add the canned tomatoes and tomato puree and cook gently until the sauce reduces and thickens.
3. Stir in the remaining ingredients and season to taste with salt & pepper.
Serve hot with grilled food.

BBQ's are just fabulous for us food optimisers! Home-made burgers, lean steaks, low-syn sausages (or even better the gorgeous Joe's sausages which are completely syn-free, available in loads of different flavours and available on-line - www.joessauges.co.uk). Home-made pasta, potato and cous-cous salads, tons of super-free salads - just watch those dressings and you'll be laughing all the way to the scales - enjoy!!!
