what's for dinner?

in our quest to lose weight ... i bought this book to 'help' us out [yes adel, i bought another book ;o)]

it's a great book!

i found a recipe for tonight's dinner but i modified it into my version (hopefully it's still low cal - hiks)

here's the original recipe:

Slaw Dog

1 small sausage (50gm,80cal) - browned in frying pan in 1tbsp peanut oil (119cal); served on a hotdog bun (140cal) dressed in 1tbsp mustard (0cal) & 1 heaped tbsp reduced calorie coleslaw (50cal). total cal: 389

my version:

~ 100-150gm shaved lean beef marinated with finely pounded garlic, salt & ginger (20mins)

(shaved beef is thinly sliced or 'shaved' from a half thawed/still half frozen block of beef)

~ sautee/lightly fried in 1tbsp of olive oil; as the beef browns, add black pepper sauce (bottled from Sarawak) + extra black pepper for spiciness. put it aside.
~ i have butterhead salad in the fridge. i'll use a few leaves as the base on the 3-grain bread that i bought
~ for colseslaw: lite mayo + shreds of carrot, apple & celery

to essemble:
~ bread, salad leaves, beef & topped with appleslaw in the form of a sandwich or taco.


yum ... now to wait for him to come home & have dinner :o)


*note:
~ i think minced beef would be ok too for this recipe
~ i didn't use sausage because i don't want the hidden msg in it to go into our food



verdict: SEDAP!
