Slow Cooker Pulled Pork
This was so easy and basically cooked itself.  
7 hours on low in the slow cooker and then shredded with two forks.  
Made the sauce separately using passata, balsamic vinegar, chilli powder, mustard powder, an onion, worcester sauce and sweetener.  
Even the Momma Bear enjoyed it
 No Rush Spiced Beef
  1. Marinate lean beef chunks in fat free plain yoghurt with 2tblsp of curry powder (or a bit more if you like it spicy)
  2. Place in a bowl and leave in the fridge overnight.
  3. In the slow cooker, add sliced onion, a bay leaf, 3 whole cloves, as many or as few cardamom pods, garlic, 2cm of grated ginger, half a carton of Passata, 200ml beef stock.
  4. Add the marinated beef and yoghurt and stir.
  5. Season and cook on low for 7/8 hours or until the meat is meltingly tender. Serve with rice (I used basmati & wild rice but have also used brown before) and green beans, asparagus works well with it also.

Dessert
Skinny Eaton Mess, Quark with sweetener and vanilla essence, strawberries and a crumbled mini meringue nest.

Snacks

Syn Free Scotch Eggs

Pork mince (5% fat) with grated onion and seasoning of your choice (I used sage), salt & pepper.   You can use turkey mince as well.   Hard boil eggs and when cool wrap each egg in the mixed up minced meat.  Chill in the fridge for half an hour and then dip in beaten egg and roll in cous cous until covered.   Place on a baking tray sprayed with frylight and also spray each scotch egg with frylight.   Place in oven on gas mark 5 for approximately 25 minutes or until golden brown.   Perfect for picnics
Banana Blueberry Muffins (tweak)

2 mashed bananas mixed with 3 beaten eggs.   Pour into silicon muffin moulds and add blueberries (also works well with raspberries).  In the oven, gas mark 6 for about 30 minutes or until set and golden brown.
