Courgette noodles (Zoodles)
instead of pasta
You will need:
- 1 courgette per person
- a spiralizer
Use the small blade on a spiralizer and rotate your courgette to make super long spaghetti spirals.
Heat a heavy frying pan or wok with a little oily oil to stop them from sticking.
Cook the zoodles on a medium heat for 3-5 mins stirring occasionally.
Serve with pesto or fresh herbs and oil or alternatively add them to a bowl of whole-wheat or gluten free spaghetti.
Uncooked zoodles will store in the fridge for 3-4 days so you could cook as much or as little as you like.
Roasted swede wedges
instead of potatoes
Peel and cut the swede into slices or wedges.
Dress with olive oil, paprika and oregano.
Roast in a hot oven 200 fan until cooked.
Cauliflower rice
instead of rice
- half a cauliflower head for 2 people
Pulse in a food processor until it resembles rice grains.
Heat a heavy frying pan or wok with a little olive oil to stop it from sticking.
Cook the ‘rice’ on a medium heat for 5-10 mins stirring occasionally.
Season if desired, serve like rice with a vegetable dish or fish or chicken.
The prepared cauliflower would keep in the fridge for 3-4 days so you could cook as much or as little as you like.
