Here's what we've decided to eat for the next couple of days. Today's lunch is from the freezer - and I'm having the lamb and pearl barley stew at under 300 calories:
Tonight we're going to have a crab salad, using a whole fresh crab and some local new potatoes.
Tomorrow's lunch will either be a tuna salad, or tuna sandwich - depending upon the weather. Our dinner will be lamb chops, new potatoes and salad with parmesan.
Friday lunch may be eaten out? But for Friday dinner, we're going to have one of our frozen lazy beef skirt curry meals (see recipe) - before we go to the pub!
Lamb and pearl barley recipe
I chopped up around 1kg of mixed root vegetables and threw them in a pot with some herbs (we chose thyme and rosemary), garlic, fried onions, tomato puree, chicken stock and some stewing lamb. I then added some pearl barley. We didn't use very much lamb, just enough to enhance the flavour of the stock. I removed the lamb pieces and flaked off the meat. The pearl barley thickened the dish perfectly. It was extremely tasty, and very low in calories. Maybe not the prettiest dish, but it was warming, with subtle background flavours from the herbs etc, and very satisfying. The pearl barley was delicious.
