5:2 Diet: Pork, Courgette and Mushroom Stew

September 18, 2013 By jbmumofone 8 Comments

5:2 diet Pork, courgette and mushroom stew.

One of the things that I am really loving about the 5:2 diet is that it is making me revisit some old recipes. I am also coming to realise that low fat food can actually be super tasty.

I am not sure how much weight I lost last week as am due to weigh in two days time so will keep you posted.

For tonight’s dinner I have prepared an old Weightwatchers recipe that I managed to dig out. Here is what you will need:

  • 350g pork tenderloin or fillet cut into strips
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 400g chopped tomatoes
  • 150ml red wine
  • 1 tbsp tomato puree
  • 150ml vegetable stock
  • 1 tsp herbes de Provence
  • 1 tbsp chopped sage
  • 225g chestnut mushrooms, halved
  • 2 courgettes, thickly sliced
  • 2 tsp cornflour
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  1. Dry fry the pork and chopped onion for approximately five minutes until posk is coloured and onions soft.
  2. Stir in the chopped tomatoes, red wine, tomato puree, stock, herbs, mushrooms and courgettes.
  3. Bring to the boil then cover and simmer for fifteen minutes.
  4. Blend cornflour to a paste with a little water and stir in to mixture.
  5. Simmer uncovered for a couple of minutes to thicken the sauce.
  6. Season to taste.

This recipe makes four servings and each serving has just 220 calories.  It also freezes really well.

Adding a 30g (dry weight) of boiled basmati rice brings the calorie total to 327 calories. Not bad for a really tasty meal.

You could also bulk this out with other vegetables and a little garlic too.

    Sounds like something that Oliver Twist would be forced to eat.

    Also, I’ve realised that your blog name is something of a fib.

        Leave the name as it is.

        Technically it’s still correct!

Welcome!

Jbmumofone is written by me, jbmumofone, and this blog is my baby. Although clearly I didn’t think this name through because I’m now a mum of two actual babies.

I blog because I love to write, and for sanity’s sake, and have been blogging since August 2011. So why not dig on in and explore?
