Sauces

A while ago slimming world brought out a Little Book of Sauces and i've been using a few of them that we really enjoy.

Here are a few of the ones that we really enjoy

Red Onion Gravy

1 Syn per serving     ready in 30 mins

Fry light

2 Red onions peeled and cut into wedges

1 garlic cloves, peeled and crushed

425ml vegetable stock

1 level tbsp cornflour

Spray a pan with fry light and cook the onions and garlic over a medium heat until soft.

Add the stock and continue to cook for a further 10 minutes

Mix the cornflour with 1 tablespoon of water to make a paste. Add to the gravy, reduce the heat and simmer, stirring continuously, until thickened. Serve straight away

Arrabiata Sauce

Syn free  Serves 4   ready in 30 mins

Fry light
2 fat red chillies, deseeded and finely chopped
1 onion, peeled and finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, peeled and crushed
400g passata
200ml vegetable stock
salt and freshly ground black  pepper

Spray a pan with fry light and saute the red chillies, onion and garlic over a high heat for 5 minutes until softened.
Add the passata and stock, bring to the boil, cover and simmer gently for 15-20 minutes until reduced slightly and thickened. Season to taste and serve
Serve this nicely spicy sauce with your favourite Italian ingredients: home made meatballs, steak, chicken or pasta.


I use both of this all the time as they are so cheap. I hope you enjoy them as much as i do.

Take care and happy slimming
