Slimming World Recipe

Smoky pork and pepper casserole with carrot and parsnip mash

Method

1. Start by making the mash.

Bring a saucepan of water to the boil over a high heat and cook the carrots and parsnips for 20 minutes or until tender. 2. Meanwhile, spray a large nonstick casserole pan or frying pan with low-calorie cooking spray and place over a high heat. Add the pork, peppers and onion and season lightly.

Cook for 5 minutes or until the meat begins to brown, then cover, turn the heat down a little and cook for a further 10 minutes. 3. At the same time, cook the barbecue sauce according to the pack instructions. 4. Add the barbecue sauce to the pork along with 300ml boiling water, cover and simmer gently for 5 minutes or until the meat is cooked and tender. 5. Drain the carrot and parsnips, reserving 6 tbsp cooking water, and return to the pan. Mash the carrots and parsnips with the reserved cooking water and season with plenty of freshly ground black pepper and a little salt. 6. Divide the mash between plates or bowls and top with the pork casserole. Scatter over the parsley and serve hot with Speed vegetables.

This recipe will have you licking your lips and probably the plate afterwards! Warming, filling and really tasty. Yes please!

Book Review

The Dressmaker’s Gift by Fiona Valpy is a potent and absorbing tale to counter these cold and dark winter days.

It’s set in France, mostly Paris, during the Second World War and focusses on three young women who produce dresses for the high end of the haute couture market. - It may have been the middle of a war but there was still a market for posh frocks, not least among the wives and mistresses of the Nazi occupiers.

And while, with hindsight, we understand what was happening during that period, it may not always have been so obvious to impressionable young people at the time and one of the girls becomes involved with a German officer.

At the same time the resistance is growing and inevitably the girls become caught up in that – and suffer the consequences in the worst ways. Interwoven with this is the story of a young woman in our present day who is trying to uncover her family’s history.

It’s well researched historically and is interesting on the complexities of living in historic times. But it’s also full of heart and the strong relationships of these women in the face of almost daily terror makes it an uplifting story.

Vintage Rambles with rafa and Flake

It has been over 3 years since we first did this walk. It is well suited to this time of year as it makes use of some good tracks and trails. This walk also boasts some great views and varied terrain. For these reasons we have been back along this route a few times, making sure we stop at a nice pub nearby for a well earned warm and some refreshments.

5-MILE CIRCULAR WALK FROM WATCHWOOD VIA CALVERTON COLLIERY AND SANSOM WOOD

A mid-length walk which should take you and your dog around 2½ hours to complete. There are a couple of roads to walk alongside and cross so please take care, especially crossing the A614. Most of the walk is on paths and trails, so it may be muddy and will require appropriate footwear. And, as always, please follow the countryside code.

START: WATCHWOOD CAR PARK, GRAVELLY HOLLOW, CALVERTON. (ACCESS GRAVELLY HOLLOW FROM THE B6386 OXTON ROAD, OPPOSITE MAIN RD AND NEAR TO PATCHINGS ART CENTRE. NG14 6NU).

1. Exit the car park onto the road and turn left along the road. After a short distance turn left to pass through a gap and then, ignoring a marked footpath on your right, continue with woodland on your left and open views on your right. 2. After a short distance you will begin to climb gently uphill. Keep ahead with woodland to your left and open views to your right and then at the top of the hill continue straight ahead on the same level for a short distance. After the footpath begins to descend you will reach a

T junction of paths. At this point turn right and now continue downhill with a few trees and open views on your right and woodland on your left. 3. Continue for some distance, then follow the footpath around to the left, staying on the edge of the woodland with a fence on your right. Upon reaching a T junction of footpaths ignore the footpath diagonal right, and turn sharp right to pass a telegraph pole on your left. Continue ahead, away from the woodland and keeping a fence on your right.

4. When the fence ends cross straight over a tarmac lane and continue along a footpath around to the left passing through some bushes. After you clear the bushes continue straight ahead to cross a wide-open space.

Eventually you will reach a tarmac lane.

Cross the lane diagonal right and then continue straight ahead with a fence over to your left. 5. After a short distance turn left onto a footpath, just prior to reaching a signboard on your left that reads ‘Calverton Colliery Tip’. Pass the ‘Calverton’ signboard on your right to continue along the footpath going uphill. After a short distance the footpath widens to a track then, near the top of the hill, pass through a open wooden gate. At the top of the hill you will reach a T junction of tracks. Turn right along the track going gently downhill, with views to your right. 6. Pass by a large wooden gate and then continue straight ahead for some distance until passing by a 2nd large wooden gate.

Continue straight ahead for a long distance staying on the track to pass 3 more large wooden gates. After the 5th of these gates after some distance and when the track begins to curl to the left, turn right along a track going downhill. 7. At the bottom of the hill pass a sign board on your left and by a large metal gate. After a short distance, upon reaching a T junction of tracks with woodland directly ahead of you turn right to walk along a well laid track.

After a short distance the track curls around to the right. Ignore two footpaths to your left to continue along the track going downhill.

At the bottom of the hill and just before the track begins to climb again, turn left onto a footpath going downhill. 8. Continue walking along this path until you pass by a metal gate and to a road. Cross straight over the road and then turn left.

Walk along the road for a short distance and then turn right onto a footpath marked for ‘Papplewick’. Continue ahead with a hedge on your right and a fence and open views on your left. When the fence ends continue ahead with a hedge on your right. 9. Walk ahead until reaching some woodland.

Now continue along the edge of the woodland, keeping a fence on your left.

Continue until you can go no further and follow the footpath to the right, away from the fence and towards the trees. Immediately you will come to a T junction of paths. Turn left and now continue straight ahead along a footpath through woodland. Ignore a fork to the left and keep ahead to pass under some power lines. 10. Continue until reaching a track. Ignore the path to the left and continue ahead along the track going downhill. After some distance pass by a metal gate and to a road. Turn left along the road for a very short distance and then turn left again to continue along a track going through woodland. Continue along the track as it turns into a tarmac lane until reaching a road. 11. Turn left along the road and after a short distance cross over the road to continue on the footpath on the opposite side. Continue until reaching a

T junction with a main road. Cross straight over the main road to pass through a gap in a fence and make your way around to the left to a tarmac road. Walk along the tarmac road until reaching the car park on your left.

This walk is for illustrative purposes only. Voice Magazines Ltd takes no responsibility for anyone who chooses to follow this route and encourages all walkers to obey all byelaws and signs and to respect the area they are walking in, ensuring they pick up all dog mess and obey the countryside code at all times.
