My husband was good to himself the other week, he bought himself a big Meatball Sub from Subway! Me? Oh I had something more diet friendly from my own fridge.
I got to work to ensure I didn’t miss out again!
This recipe is based on the Meatball Marinara Sub from Subway. It is my own meatball recipe simply incorporated into a sub style sandwich and let me tell you, sheer food heaven!
First things first! The Meatball Marinara!
Ingredients
250g (between 2) of Extra Lean Beef Mince
1/2 onion (diced very small)
500g carton of Passata
1 level tablespoon Basil
1 level tablespoon Oregano
1/2 teaspoon of Garlic
Salt and Pepper to season
Method
1. Put mince, diced onion and garlic into a bowl and mix with your hands.
2. Roll meatball mix into 12 walnut sized meatballs (6 each) or more if you would rather.
3. Pop the passata into a large saucepan and bring to near enough boiling, put your meatballs into the passata carefully, lower with a spoon for safety!
4. Let the mixture come to a slight boil then add Basil, Oregano and some salt and pepper, leave to simmer for about half an hour to reduce the passata slightly. Taste and add more herbs / salt and pepper should you need it for your own personal taste.
So whilst your Meatball Mix is simmering away get to work on your ‘Salad Bar’
For fellow Slimming Worlders I recommend sourcing a 57g Wholemeal Roll (Healthy Extra B) therefore making this recipe syn free (apart from cheese and dressings!) Every little helps you know!
I personally ‘built my sub’ the following way:
Kerry Low Low Cheesy Slices (2 syns per slice)
Meatball Marinara Mix
Lettuce
Red Onion
Cucumber
Jalepenos
1 tablespoon of Extra Light Mayo
(my ‘subway’ came to a total of 4 syns! And so incredibly worth it!)
Serve with ‘syn free’ fries for a truely fakeaway experience 😉
On a bynote this week I’d like to let you all know I have achieved my 4.5 stone award with Slimming World. In total have lost 4st and 10lbs in just 7 months so felt the Slimming World plan deserved a little plug – it works! That’s all I have to say about it really! 4lbs off my 5st target, wish me luck 😉
