Wedges bravas!

I love tapas so much. For dinner tonight I am having roast peppers and butternut squash, bean and vine leaf salad, haloumi cheese (naughty but ok), fried courgette and patatas bravas. You simply roast the butternut squash and pepper (whole) with the potatoes, for the salad you simply mix a tin of salad beans with chopped tomatoes, chopped onions, extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, basil with finley chopped preserved vine leaves. You then fry the courgette in low fat cooking spray, and after around two minutes add the haloumi to the frying pan. Sprincle with paprika and serve when browned. My favourite bit is the patatas bravas though.  I've made patatas bravas loads of times, but I prefer wedges to the small roast potatoes traditionally served with it. Here's the recipe:

You'll need potatoes, low fat cooking spray, garlic salt for the wedges. Half a onion (fineley chopped), chopped tomatoes, half a chili (depending on heat and what you like), half a stock cube, and some smoked paprika.

Chop the potatoes in to wedges, and spray with low fat cooking spray. Sprinkle with garlic salt and out on a baking tray. They will need around 35 minutes, depending on your oven. Once the potatoes are in the oven, fineley chop onions, garlic and chili, and fry them all in a saucepan. Once they have softened add the tinned tomatoes, the stock cube and a tiny bit of smoked paprkia (depends on the brand, some are very poweful!). Simmer down until it is a really thick consistencey. Serve the sauce on the wedges in a big bowl with other lovely tapas dishes. YUM.

This was 17 points, but I should have halved the haloumi, making it 12 points.




Good luck!

  2. All together it was 17, I had zero points soup all day for it! Haloumi is one point per 10 grams, and I used a 100 grams so it was 10 points. I should have only had 50g looking back though. The bean salad and olives were 3 points, and the wedges are however many potatoes you use, mine was 4 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
