It's time again for me to share with you another tried and tested Pinch of Nom Everyday Light recipe. This recipe is in the Fakeaway chapter and is perfect when you want to treat yourself to some fast food style dishes.

Let's get cooking!

Ingredients:

2 white onions, peeled & finely chopped

1 red pepper, deseeded & finely chopped

150ml pork stock (2 pork stock cubes), or use beef or chicken stock

Low-calorie cooking spray

500g 5% fat minced pork

1 tsp onion granules

1 tsp garlic granules

1/2 tsp sweet paprika

1/2 tsp mustard powder

2 tsp Worcestershire sauce, or Henderson's relish

1 tbsp balsamic vinegar

1 x 400g tin chopped tomatoes

4 tbsp tomato puree

sea salt & freshly ground black pepper

6 gluten free finger rolls

120g reduced-fat cheddar, finely grated

2 spring onions, trimmed & thinly sliced (optional)

Start off by pre-heating your oven to 220C/200C Fan/ Gas Mark 7.

Then put the onions, red pepper and the pork stock into a frying pan and saute over a medium heat.

After 5 minutes the onions will be translucent and the liquid will have reduced to a glossy coating.

Spray some low-calorie cooking spray into the pan.

Next add the pork mince, onion granules, garlic granules, paprika, mustard powder, Worcestershire sauce and balsamic vinegar, and saute for a further 4-5 minutes until the mince has browned.

Once the mince has browned, add the chopped tomatoes and  tomato puree.

Stir and simmer over a medium-low heat, after around 5 minutes the sauce should look rich and be reduced and thick.

If the sauce is still runny, reduce it further, until it looks thick.

Slice you finger rolls down the middle and line them up on a baking tray.

Spoon the pork minx into the buns and top with the grated cheese.

Pop the buns into the oven for 3-5 minutes, you wanted the cheese to melt but not the finger rolls to burn.

Serve the dogs with an optional scattering of spring onions.

This recipe was really easy to follow and didn't take too much time to cook, with the long list of ingredients you would think it would be really time consuming, but it takes at most 20 minutes to cook.

I used normal finger rolls as my local supermarket didn't have any gluten-free ones, which I would have loved to be able to do the recipe to the exact ingredients.

I loved this dish, I thought it was really delicious and full of flavour, but it was really messy, something I was dreading, as the last thing you want while you're eating is for it to be falling out onto your hands.

Skye on the other hand wasn't too keen on this dish, something I was quite surprised with as I thought this would be something she would enjoy.

If you're interested in any of Pinch of Nom's recipe's then you can buy the recipe books in all major supermarkets as well as online retailers Waterstones and Amazon.

See you soon!
