Meal 8: Sweetcorn, tuna & peas

1. Open the cans of Tuna & Peas and place the contents including the liquid in a large plastic container
2. Sprinkle on Chilli Powder or whatever you fancy to taste and mix well – see here for suggestions
3. Add 60ml of potato powder and mix to thicken (avoiding the use of wheat flour which is higher calorie dense and contains gluten)
4. Open the can of Sweetcorn, add the contents including the liquid and mix it in until all the ingredients are evenly distributed
5. Snap on the lid and heat in the microwave at 800W for 6 minutes

Serve on a large plate and eat with gusto.

NOTES

The picture shows the whole meal on a 10 inch plate – enough for two ladies but only just enough for me!

You can drain the liquids from the ingredients and make a separate sauce if you prefer – see here for details. I prefer it all mixed up because it looks as good as it tastes that way – to me at least! Note that this whole tin of sweetcorn is the equivalent of eating 8 half corn-on-the-cobs from Nandos so it’s a very satisfying meal! If you want it to taste like your eating at Nandos simply use Piri Piri seasoning!

This makes one meals for a man like me (large frame and vigorously active) or two meals for a lady. I don’t mention the calories for each meal because when you indulge in eating natural low density food  which has a density of less than 25% you just eat as much as your appetite dictates and then stop eating. This meal tastes equally delicious with any of the pulses although I have to say that chickpeas are my favourite! The pulses I regularly use are: chickpeas, butter beans, cannellini beans, borlotti beans, haricot beans, pinto beans, black-eyed beans, black beans and kidney beans. You could add some green vegetables if you like but I just take multi-vitamins because they’re more effective and a lot cheaper.
