Mushy Pea Curry - Slimming World Recipe


Serves: 4
Prep: 10 mins
Cook time: 20 mins
Syns per serving: 0 (on Extra Easy)

Now don't judge a book by it's cover! I know the above recipe doesn't sound like the most appetising thing in the world....but it tastes lovely and is super quick and easy to make.

Ingredients:-

Diced Onions (as many as you like)
Sliced Mushrooms (again, use as many as you like)
2 x Mushy Peas
1 x Baked Beans
2 x Chopped Tomato's
1 Tablespoon Chili powder
1 Heaped Tablespoon of Curry powder
(With the chili and curry powder add to taste, I use mild as I don't like my food too hot)

Method:-

First start by frying the onions and mushrooms until they are golden brown. Use as many or as little onions and mushrooms as you like.

Add the chopped tomato's, baked beans and mushy peas to the pan and stir well.

Add the chili and curry powder to taste. Don't add to much too soon, instead keep adding a little in at a time to ensure you get the perfect taste for you.

This doesn't take long to cook  but I usually give it about 20 minutes on a medium heat on the stove to ensure that all the ingredients really combine with each other.Keep stirring every few minutes as this does have a tendency to stick to the bottom of the pan!

Serve with rice, a jacket potato or slimming chips! Yummy!

To add a little 'meatiness' to this curry try adding in chicken or pork. Or you can blitz the curry with a hand blender and turn into a tasty syn free curry sauce to pour over some slimming world chips. Who needs chips with curry on the market when you have this syn free alternative!

Enjoy x

    1. Yes this can be frozen. For best results defrost fully before reheating again.

    This curry is cooking as I speak, this is the second time Ive made it and my whole family love it!
    Im adding a bit chicken this time and serving it with boiled rice and tinned potatoes which have been chopped up,fried in frylight with lots of garlic then whacked in the oven. minus the chicken this costs approx £5 and feeds 6 people easily!

    You can add Quorn pieces instead of meat, lovely, more filling, and still free.

    does this work as well without the beans?

    1. I haven't tried this without the beans to be honest so I can't tell you for sure. Perhaps if you don't want to add the baked beans you could try some kidney beans etc instead?

    1. The Baked Beans and tomato's are 400g I believe, however the mushy pea tins I use are slightly smaller, 300g perhaps.
