World's Best Diet, Rye Bread.

Yesterday I made 3 new Bread recipes. This one, which I have adapted from the Worlds Best Diet was the best.
I have decided while trying again to lose weight, that I will eat only the best of what is available. If it is not available,  then I will make it with the aide of my TMX.
I made 1/2 the recipe as a full recipe would be too much for the TMX.  This loaf provides 20 slices at 75 calories a slice.

Ingredients

390g Sour Dough starter
320g Rye flour
85g wholemeal flour
3 teaspoons of dry yeast
1 Tablespoon of honey
50g Pepitas
35 g Linseed
55g soaked grains, see note below
1 teaspoon of salt
230g beer, you may not need all of this as it will depend on how wet your SD starter is.
Extra seeds for top

Method

Place all ingredients in the TMX bowl and knead for 4 minutes.
You need a fairly soft dough
Tip into a lined or well oiled bread tin.  26x10x11cm. smooth top.
Spray with water and sprinkle extra seeds on top.
Cover with plastic. I use a shower cap.
Sit in a warm place until it reaches top of tin. It will not rise in oven.
Heat oven to 180 o C.
Place dish with water in bottom of oven.
Bake for 40 minutes in tin, remove from tin and sit on oven rungs and bake for another 10 minutes.
If top is becoming too dark, cover with foil.
When cooked, place on cooling rack and don't cut until cold.

Notes.
For the soaked grains, I bring to the boil a pot of mixed grains, leave to cool in water, drain then place in 100g lots in the freezer.
Pepitas are green pumpkin seeds
The original recipe calls for 100g of dried Cranberries. I didn't add these.
Also recipe calls for an extra 1/2 tablespoon of honey.
You could add Caraway seeds.

Chicken Meat Loaf.

I wanted to make a Chicken Meat Loaf,  and knew I would have to add interesting seasonings to make it tasty as the Chicken is very bland.  After reading many recipes I developed this recipe and topping.  Most of the recipes I looked at were for Turkey or Beef.  This recipe is tasty, cheap and easy.
Feeds 4 ,  with a bit over.  Can easily be doubled or made with 250g of chicken. Just adjust other ingredients.
Preheat oven to  180 C  FF
Line an oven dish with Baking paper,  this is so it doesn't stick .

Meat Loaf
500g Minced Chicken
3/4 cup of fresh bread crumbs
1 medium size onion, peeled and 1/4
1 medium carrot,  peeled and cut into chunks.
1/4 cup of milk or substitute
1/4 cup of tomato sauce.
2 eggs
1large clove of garlic
1 generous Tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper.

Topping
3 or 4 Tablespoons of  Tomato Salsa or a mix of onion, Red Capsicum and garlic
2 dessertspoons of raw or light brown sugar,  MIXED WITH
2 dessertspoons of mustard powder

Method
Place carrot, onion and garlic into TMX bowl and chop speed 5 for 5 seconds.
Add the remaining meat loaf ingredients and, REVERSE, speed 4 , 15 seconds. if not fully mixed, add another 5 seconds.
Tip into baking dish and with fork or hands ,  form into a football shape,  Flatten the top a little.
Spread Salsa over top,  and sprinkle with sugar and mustard mix.
Bake Meat Loaf for approximately 45 mins,  or until no longer pink in middle (165o F on Thermometer)
Sit for 5 minutes and then serve.

Notes
Although the texture of this is very good,  you could add more veggies such as celery or capsicum.  This may make it more difficult to serve.
Excellent with TMX mashed Pots and greens of choice.
For a 'lighter" version,  serve with salad.

Italian Hazelnut Cookies

These delightful little cookies have 88 calories if made with sugar , or 55 calories if made with Xylitol, a sugar substitute.  When made with Xylitol they are soft when fully baked, but if a crisp biscuit is needed,  pop them back in the turned off oven and let them cool down,  with the door open. They will crisp on the outside but still be soft inside.   Makes 30
The original recipe was from,www.EatingWell. Com.  I have adapted it to TMX.

Ingredients

2 cups of hazelnuts, roasted and skin rubbed off.
4 large egg whites
1  1/4 cups of caster sugar. OR 3/4 to 1 cup of Xylitol,  depending on how sweet you like biscuits.
1/2 teaspoon of salt
1 teaspoon of vanilla

Method

Set oven at 165C

Insert butterfly into bowl and add egg whites, salt and vanilla.  Set temperature at 37 degrees and beat at speed 3 for 30 seconds.  Increase speed to 4 and beat until stiff.   Set aside in large bowl.
Wash and dry bowl,  add hazelnuts and sugar, or Xylitol.  Press Turbo once.
Tip onto egg whites and fold in with rubber spatula
Using a small ice cream scoop,  place 12  small mounds onto a lined baking sheet.  You will need 3 sheets.
Bake 25/30 minutes, turning trays half way through.
Cool on tray for 10 minutes,  then on wire rack.

If a crisp result required, return to oven as it is cooling, leaving door ajar.

Iced Strawberry Milk shake.

With the hot weather coming,  I was looking for an alternative to Iced Coffee,  with its Ice Cream and Coffee Syrup. 
There is no added sugar or ice cream in this ,  and reduced fat milk is used,   but is still fluffy and cool. 

1/2 cup of each,  strawberries,   Milk,   Ice cubes.
Add all to TMX bowl and zap,  speed 9 for 50 seconds.  May need longer if the ice cubes are large.

Could add sugar substitute or use different fruit.
There were 90 calories in the mix I made.

Baked Chicken and Vegetable Lavash Rolls

I have been looking for lunch dishes with less than 300 calories. I also wanted low fat, plenty of vegies and tasty. This recipe that I have adapted to TMX, ticks all the boxes. It is from 'Simply Healthy ' by Sally James. Although I used Mountain Bread, you could use TMX'ed batter for crepes. Also could use other left over meat or cheese . The finished rolls cost a little over $1 each.

Spread to use on the 6 breads

3 Tablespoons of no-added-salt Peanut butter
3 Tablespoons of tomato paste
3 Tablespoons of Sweet Chilli Sauce, or to taste.
6 slices of mountain bread or similar.

Chicken and Vegetable filling

180g. chopped cooked chicken.
125g. pumpkin, large cubes
135g. zucchini
75g. shredded cabbage or spinach,( I used Chinese Cabbage)
90g. mushrooms
1 rounded teaspoon of cumin, coriander and cardamon.
2 Tablespoons fresh coriander, chopped.
1 Tablespoon of sesame seeds roasted.
Rice Bran oil spray.

Yogurt and Cucumber sauce

1 large clove of garlic.
200g of low fat yogurt
1/2 a medium cucumber, chopped fine by hand.

Mix all spread ingredients together and set aside.

Add cubes of pumpkin to TMX bowl and zap until small pieces are formed. Speed 7 for 5 seconds. Do not form mash. Add to chicken in large bowl
Chop zucchini, cabbage and mushrooms by hand. This can be done in the TMX but don't form mash. Add to bowl with chicken and pumpkin.
Add rest of ingredients and stir with spoon

Place the 6 mountain breads on bench and spread the paste over leaving a 2 cm. edge
Divide the filling evenly between breads, forming a mound along the edge closest to you.
Fold in the sides and roll up. Do this to form 6 rolls
Place in a baking dish with the fold down
Spray lightly with Rice Bran oil.
Bake at 190o for 30 mins.

The rolls can be prepared and then baked later.
Serve warm with Yogurt sauce.

Walnut Date Brownies

Each Monday, I restart my diet.!!! Being Sunday I thought I had better prepare for the week ahead. Sally James book 'Simply Healthy", was winking at me from the book shelf. My biggest weakness is morning tea. DH makes a mean coffee but something with it is essential. I thought that if I could have a tasty morsel for 100 calories or less, I might be satisfied. Sally has a recipe for Pecan Date Brownies for 75 calories, and as I love both walnuts and dates I substituted the Pecans with walnuts,and thought I would give it a go. Also it is chocolate based so DH might be satisfied also.
