4lbs off for me today, which means I got my 1 stone award! Also got slimmer of the week and slimmer of the month - I'm very chuffed :)
Group was really interesting too, ate from an imaginary buffet and had to try to guess how many syns were in the food that we chose. I had 135 syns on one plate! Worst item of all (luckily I don't like them so didn't pick any) was Pringles - almost 100 syns for a large tube!
 Serves 4 Syn-free on EE
Ingredients
6 boneless, skinless chicken thighs, diced
2 cans tomatoes, blitzed in processor (you can use passata if you wish)
2 carrots, peeled and sliced
2 onions, sliced
2 red/green/yellow peppers, in large dice
2 sticks celery, thinly sliced
100g button mushrooms, quartered
2 cloves garlic, minced (I use 2tsp garlic powder instead)
3 tbsp smoked paprika (some paprikas are hotter than others so try 2 tbsp at first and add more after a half an hour or so, if you think it needs it).
1 tbsp dried parsley
1/4 tsp dried thyme (omit if you don't have it, no biggie)
2 chicken stock cubes (I use oxo, easier to crumble in without adding extra water)
1 tsp celery salt
1 tsp ground black pepper
Fat-free natural yogurt to serve (optional)
Method
- Use a large skillet with a lid. Spray pan with fry light and place on medium heat.
- Add onions, peppers, celery and fry gently until onions are softened and starting to colour.
- Add carrots and garlic, fry for a couple of minutes then remove vegetables from pan onto a plate.
- Spray pan with fry light again and add the chicken, fry until golden brown on all sides.
- Add vegetables back to the pan, plus all of the remaining ingredients and bring to the boil.
- Turn heat down to lowest possible setting (pan should just be gently simmering), cover with the lid and simmer for 1 hour (or more, if you have the time).
- Test for salt (I added none, due to the celery salt and stock cubes) and add if you think it's needed.
- Serve with a dollop of fat-free natural yogurt (optional - I hate sour cream, the traditional complement to goulash, so fat-free yogurt is a good syn-free subsitute. If you want to use sour cream instead, by all means do, but remember to count the syns!)
