This one helps my husband get through a fast day and, assuming he has had a lunch of 200 calories, he also is able to have a piece of whole wheat bread with it (lucky thing). However it is a good portion size even without the slice of bread for me and allows me to finish my fast day with a normal meal and portion size.
Recipe is for 2 portions. 325 calories per portion.
8 whole shallots (40) peeled
175 gram lean cut lamb diced. Trimmed of all fat. (275)
175 gram new (small) potatoes scrubbed and cut into chunks (not peeled) (135)
12 baby carrots (I like to chop them in half but can leave whole) (48)
75 ml white wine (62)
350 ml water mixed with 1 vegetable stock cube (10)
200 g canned chopped tomatoes (half normal sized tin) (40)
50 g frozen peas (38)
3 bay leaves
1 tbspn chopped parsley (2)
Salt/ pepper
1. In non-stick pan on medium heat fry off the lamb and shallots until they start to brown (5-10 minutes).
2. Add potatoes, carrots, white wine, stock, bay leaves and tomatoes. Cover and allow to simmer gently over medium heat for 25-30 minutes until vegetables and lamb are tender.
3. Stir in peas and cook for another 2-3 minutes until cooked. Add parsley and season to taste.
I guess to get calories under 300 per portion you could omit wine and add a couple slugs of Worcester sauce for flavour instead. But haven't tried that.
