On a Thursday evening, I spend my time planning the week's food shop and the new recipes I'll try out. I also spend a bit of time plugging things in to the Weight Watchers website. As part of my planning I tend to make a beeline for the 'What's new' sections of each of my favourites - to get new ideas, try new things and because there are often quite decent discounts as these products are introduced.
One product that caught my eye in this was was Philadelphia's Simply Stir Garlic and Herb. Philly have been capitalising on their use in a variety of recipes in the last few years, providing more and more ideas for how to incorporate their products in everyday meals. To go one step further and provide a cook-in sauce with a recipe seems to make sense.
Quorn peppered steak, 50g pasta (cooked and drained) with half a pack of the simply stir sauce (heated through gently). 12pp.
It's a tasty sauce, reminding me a little more of Primula chives than Philadelphia. However, I know that I can make a decent sauce myself with a good slab of the soft cheese and a little bit of milk to thin it out. With that in mind, I think it unlikely we'll get it again unless it's on special offer. It's on sale at Tescos for £1 a pack at the moment (normally £2) and 2 for 1 at Sainsburys. We still have the mushroom option to try at a later date. Half a pouch works out at 4 pro points.
