14-Days' Menus
Day Five
Breakfast
Half a grapefruit or small glass of grapefruit
juice.
Scrambled eggs
This is easier than fried eggs and bacon, and can
be very quick if you are short of time.
Heat 25g butter in a saucepan or frying pan. Mix 3
large eggs, 2 tbsp single cream and salt and pepper
to taste. Pour into the pan and cook gently, stirring
constantly, until set.
To make it even quicker, break the eggs directly
into the frying pan and stir.
Lunch
Finger Salads
If the constituents of a salad are dry, they may
be eaten with the fingers:
100 g (3½ oz) full-fat cheese, (Cheddar, Brie,
Gouda, Maarsdam, et cetera) or
100 g (3½ oz) cooked sliced ham rolled around a
soft cheese such as Philadelphia, or
chicken legs or
hard-boiled eggs or
any mixture of the above
with a salad composed of, say, a stick of celery,
1 tomato, 2 green pepper and 1 raw carrot.
The carb content of this is very little; a similar
meal, replacing the cheese with an individual pork
pie, or egg and bacon flan, would have a carbohydrate
content of about 20 grams.
Dinner
Microwaved Pork Chops with
Peppers
In a frying pan, heat 25g (1 oz) of butter or lard over a
moderately high heat and in it brown two 25 mm (1 inch) thick
pork chops which have been seasoned with salt and pepper. Add
2 tbsp chicken stock and 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar and bring to
the boil. Transfer to a microwave-safe baking dish, just
large enough for the chops in one layer, sprinkle with one
green and one red sweet pepper, chopped coarsely. Cover with
microwave-safe plastic wrap and cook at medium power (50%)
for 6 minutes. Stir 1 tsp cornstarch dissolved in 2 tsp water
into the cooking juices and microwave the mixture, covered,
at high power (100%) for 1 minute. Serve with a cup of
vegetables of your choice per person.
