Welsh Rarebit with Smoked Ham & Pickled Onion

The Welsh rarebit is a dish originating from Wales. Traditionally, it consists of a piece of toast covered with a melted concoction of cheese, beer and seasonings, which is then broiled. Here, we’ve added ham and pickled onion. You can replace the homemade pickled onion with store-bought pickled onions or chopped pickles.

Savoury Tomato and Gruyère Crumble

Plum tomatoes are meaty and dense, making them ideal for cooking and using in sauces. As they heat, they release sweet sun-ripened juice, which is soaked up by the toasted cheesy crumble.

Salsa Meat Loaf

Nothing says comfort food more than a piping hot slice of meat loaf served with mashed potatoes and gravy. Of course, the fat in a slice of meat loaf alone amounts to about 17 grams, even when you use lean ground beef. To lighten it, this uses extra-lean ground beef, rolled oats and vegetables for increased fibre plus a salsa topping instead of the usual high-sugar ketchup or chili sauce. Cooking the loaf free form on a baking sheet drains away the fat, which results in only 206 calories and 7 grams of fat per serving.

Pork Chops with Button Mushrooms

There's no need for cream in this mushroom sauce because the flavourful stock-based sauce gets its slight thickness from the flour used to coat the chops. Serve with mashed potatoes and peas to provide vitamins A and C, folate, potassium, protein and fibre.
