Californian sourdough chicken open sandwich
This is my wife’s combo idea and a celebration of really great Californian sourdough bread.
Green vegetable and feta pie
Crisp, golden pastry with a light butter bean, greens and feta filling make this perfect for a summer dinner. Nothing goes to waste in Dr Rupy’s recipe. It’s the tastiest way to eat loads of greens. Each serving provides 498 kcal, 24g protein, 42g carbohydrate (of which 7g sugars), 23g fat (of which 11g saturates), 13g fibre and 2.3g salt.
Greek salad
This chunky Greek salad recipe is quick to make and packed with protein. The wholemeal pitta makes a high-fibre accompaniment, but feel free to improvise and serve it with any Mediterranean-style bread or sides. Each serving provides 205 kcal, 10.5g protein, 10.1g carbohydrate (of which 8.3g sugars), 12.7g fat (of which 4.2g saturates), 3.9g fibre and 1.75g salt.
Roasted red pepper hummus
There are no end of varieties of hummus in the supermarket. This one is loaded with sweet roasted red pepper, making it much lighter. This recipe, if served as eight portions, provides 67kcal, 3g protein, 9g carbohydrate (of which 4g sugars), 1.5g fat (of which 0.2g saturates), 3g fibre and 0.3g salt.
Stuffed peppers
These protein-packed stuffed peppers make a filling vegetarian meal that’s full of good-for-you ingredients. If you don’t like goats’ cheese these they also work well with feta. With a GI of 41 this meal is high protein, low GI and provides 373 kcal per portion.
