So I’ve embarked on the Slimming World way of eating and so far I’m enjoying it. I’m also enjoying making up new tasty recipes within the constraints of the Slimming World programme. What I love about this is it gets me back in the kitchen as with Slimming world you really are back to scratch cooking! Lovely

Ingredients

Serves 2

200-250g Basmatti Rice (use dried – those others may have oil on them)
Frylight Spray
1 Clove Garlic, peeled & finely chopped
Bunch Spring Onions, peeled & chopped in 1cm rounds (pop the tops on one side for garnish)
200g Mushrooms, chopped into cubes
1 Small Yellow Pepper, decided & cubed
1 small Red pepper, deseeded & chopped
6 Bacon Medallions, sliced into 1cm strips
120g Frozen Garden Peas
2 Medium Free Range Eggs, beaten
Salt and freshly Ground Black Pepper
Soy Sauce

Preparation Method

Boil rice according to on-pack instructions – drain and rinse in boiling water – removes the starchiness
In a large frying pan fry (using Frylite) the garlic, spring onions, mushrooms, peppers for 7 minutes until almost soft
Next add the strips of bacon medallions and fry for a further 5 minutes until cooked
Finally add the garden peas and fry for a further 2 minutes
Next add the cooked rice and heat through mixing with all the vegetables
Once the rice mixture is piping hot, pour in the beaten eggs and stir until cooked
Finally add a dash of soy sauce, garnish with the spring onion tops and season
Dig in and enjoy – guilt free
