Garlic fillet with trad colcannon + gravy + veg: 340 cals per person

Bangers and mash.  Classic.  

And a right belly-warmer too (yes its August but there's a bit of a chill on today).  The cabbage in particular gives some decent volume, while the dash of gravy adds some tasty taste.

Makes you feel full and satiated - just try not to eat it too fast!

- Oh, I didn't have any Quorn sausages, and we're trying to use up things in the freezer, hence the fillets.  Nice for a change actually (the rut is your fast day enemy!).




Cupboard to table (Prep + cooking time): approx 30min

Cut your potatoes up small and put on to boil.  In the meantime, add the teaspoon of oil to a large frying pan and add your fillets.  

Cut up your onion.  Add to the frying pan on medium heat.  Crush in the garlic clove.  Check the potatoes.

Cut up your cabbage, and broccoli.  Measure your gravy granules out.  Stir the frying pan.

Once the potatoes are done, drain them off, collecting the hot water to use for your veg.

Add the cabbage to the frying pan, and stir.

Add the hot water you've collected to a small pan with the broccoli, on medium heat.  

Chop up the parsley and add to the drained potato pan, with the milk and olive oil.  Mash it all up, with some seasoning.

Add the green beans to your veg pan.

Add the fried onion and cabbage to your potato pan, and stir with a spoon.  Check the seasoning.

Once the veg is done, use the hot water for your gravy.  Season the veg and add a squeeze of lemon.

Plate up and dig in.


Dessert?

Try 100g fat free yoghurt - e.g. Tesco Fat Free Greek Yoghurt   55 cals
with a few berries e.g. strawberries (cut up) - 100g - 33 cals  
and/or a teaspoon of honey  16 cals
