canape and lunch fillings


These fillings you can serve with lettuce leaves, with crudites or crisps or in my pastry cases that i just uploaded.

Prawn filling: mexican inspired- 1/2 cup freshly cooked king prawns roughly chopped, juice of half a lime, 1tbsp freshly chopped coriander, 1 tsp sweet chilli sauce, 1/4 tsp garlic paste, 1 finely chopped spring onion. combine together :)

prawn #2: prawn cocktail filling- 1/2 cup freshly cooked prawns roughly chopped, 1 tbsp tomato sauce (1 syns), 1tbsp 0%fat yoghurt, salt, pepper, 1/2 tsp paprika, 1tsp lemon juice, 1/4 tsp garlic paste, 2tbsp small diced cucumber, the finely diced green part of a spring onion. combine altogether!



curried chicken: half a cup f leftover cooked chicken, 1 tsp mild curry powder, 1 tbsp mango chutney (2  syns), salt, pepper, freshly finely chopped coriander (1 tbsp), 3 tbsp 0% fat greek yoghurt, handful finely chopped chives.
Combine the herbs, spices, mango chutney and yoghurt, stir thoroughly then add in the chicken, done!


canape cases

Hey guys, so getting closer to christmas i have been experimenting with ideas for parties, i came up with my filo canape cases, you can fill them with anything from spicy indian chicken to mexican prawn salsa, and they are easy!!



25g filo pastry is 3.5 syns. (the filo i buy, one whole sheet is 25g)

I cut my filo into 4 rectangles, then those in half so you get 8.
I double these up and count them as 1 each although i know they are a little less.
i just layer them with a little egg, push them into a mini cupcake tray and spray with fry light and bake at 200oC for 5 minutes, keep an eye on them as they brown easily.
When browned, take them from the oven and leave them to cool before filling with whatever you are using!
Alternatively you could use reduced fat pastry at 4 syns per 25 g.

Over the next few days, i am going to gather up some classic party syns for you guys, just so you are aware when you go to parties how many syns are in things :)

i hope you can make use of this rcipe i will upload a few fillings today or tomorrow!
