Keto/banting chorizo and cheese muffin
Serving size
Serves 12
Ingredients:
6 cherry tomatoes, sliced
½ large onion
12 slices of chorizo sausage
butter for frying
½ teaspoon garlic, crushed
1 baby marrow
4 eggs
½ cup cream
½ cup cheddar cheese
salt and pepper to taste
Directions:
- Preheat the oven 180°C.
- Chop up the onion and chorizo into small pieces and fry in butter together with the garlic.
- Cut the baby marrow into round slices, and slice the cherry tomatoes in half. Add the marrow and tomatoes to the chorizo and onion. Cook until tender.
- Whisk the eggs and cream together, and add seasoning if desired.
- Place the marrow mixture into the muffin pan, and then pour the beaten egg over the marrow mixture, and bake for 15-20 minutes.
- Grate the cheese and spread it on top of the egg, then grill in the oven until the cheese starts to bubble and go brown.
Tip
The muffins can be eaten hot or cold, and they’re also great for lunch-box items.
Low GI winter fruit salad
Serving size
Serves 12
Ingredients:
600g dried fruit (such as prunes, pears, apricots, figs and/or cranberries)

1 Earl Grey tea bag
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon seeds
1 tablespoon oat bran
½ cup Greek yoghurt, to serve
Directions:
- Tip the dried fruit and 700ml cold water into a large saucepan. Add the honey and vanilla, scraping the seeds from the pod into the pan. Bring to the boil. Stir well, lower the heat and simmer for 10 minutes until slightly syrupy.
- Take the pan off the heat and stir in the tea bag. Leave to infuse for 10 minutes.
- Discard the tea bag and vanilla pod, tip the fruit and liquid into a non-metallic bowl and add the lemon juice. Stir, then leave to cool. Cover and chill until ready to serve.
- Serve with seeds, oat bran and yoghurt.
