Life Is What You Bake It!

January 27, 2018 6 Comments

Hanker after a cheeseburger post-op? Well here’s a bake that has all the flavours of one without all the guilt. Wonderful served warm with salad or vegetables, and cold is a bit like a quiche, so great in a lunchbox with a crisp salad side. Go on … try it … life is what you bake it!

 

Cheeseburger Bake on Bariatric Portion Plate with Bariatric Cutlery

 

BARIATRIC CHEESEBURGER BAKE

Ingredients

METRIC/US

350 g/12 oz extra lean minced/ground beef

1 red onion, finely chopped

salt and freshly ground black pepper

low-fat cooking spray or mist

250 ml/1 cup passata (crushed smooth tomatoes)

1 teaspoon lazy garlic or garlic paste

1 tsp smoked or plain paprika

1 tbsp tomato paste

1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce

250 g/1 cup fat-free cottage cheese

4 medium eggs

125 g/1 cup grated reduced-fat Cheddar or hard cheese

1 large tomato, sliced

chopped parsley to garnish

 

Method

  1.  Preheat the oven to 200 C/400 F/gas 6.
  2.  Mix the beef with the onion and salt and pepper to taste. 
  3.  Spritz the base of a 20-23 cm/8-9 inch quiche dish or pie plate with low-fat cooking spray or mist. Add the beef mixture and flatten down well to that it covers the bottom of the dish in a thin even layer. Bake in the oven for 10-15 minutes until lightly browned. The meat will not be cooked at this stage and will have shrunk but this is fine, you will be covering with additional ingredients and cooking further.
  4.  Meanwhile, mix the passata with the garlic, paprika, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce and salt and pepper to taste. 
  5.  Meanwhile, blend the cottage cheese with the eggs and one-quarter of the cheese in a blender or food processor until smooth.
  6.  Remove the dish from the oven and drain away any excess juices from the dish.
  7.  Spoon the passata mixture over the meat and to the sides of the dish then carefully spoon over the egg mixture to totally cover. Sprinkle with the remaining cheese.
  8.  Bake in the oven for 20 minutes, remove, add the sliced tomato to the top of the bake around the edges then bake for a further 10 minutes. When cooked the top will be lightly browned, the cheesy topping will be risen and softly firm (with a bit of a wobble) but will settle and firm up a little on cooling.
  9.  Serve warm or cold cut into slices with salad if liked.

    Hi Veronica – here’s the description: Banoffee pie or “bananoffe” is an English dessert pie made from bananas, cream and toffee, combined either on a pastry base or one made from crumbled biscuits and butter. Some versions of the recipe also include chocolate, coffee or both. Obviously my version is a bariatric-friendly type of affair! C x

    Hi Veronica, there are some recipes in archives to serve just 1 and I have done a news letter in the past that just featured on cooking for 1. Would you like me to forward it on to you? I have also devoted a whole chapter in my new book (not out just yet but soon) on recipes for solo dining. I shall keep adding more to the website. C x
