As promised to Gilymary, here is the recipe I had for lunch today (mentioned by me on my "Fasting Today" post).

Sauce (recipe for 4)

1 second spray olive oil (7)
1 onion, chopped (44)
400 g can chopped tomatoes (80)
1 heaped tspn light brown soft sugar (20)
1 tbspn soy sauce (9)
few fresh thyme sprigs, leave stripped

Fish: 150grams cod per person (120 calories per serve)

[Sauce recipe serves 4 or 2 depending on how much you want / can have. It works out to be 40 calories per portion. So if you want half recipe, then you count it as 80 calories. If you can make do with just quarter - which is a full serve - then it's just 40 calories.]

Spray pan and fry onions for 5-8 minutes until lightly browned. Stir in tomatoes, sugar, thyme and soy sauce and bring to boil. Simmer for 5 minutes.

Add fish in the sauce, cover and cook for 8-10 minutes until the cod flakes easily.

Serve with steamed vegetable. I use 1 cup of chopped zucchini per person at 20 calories per serve.

Hence, with just one portion of sauce with vegetable it works out to be 180 calories. Quite a nice light lunch, leaving 320 for dinner!

Thanks TM know I ought to eat more fish so will do this recipe. Your other recipes have been lovely so I expect this will be yummy
