Nic how do you make the spicy yoghurt dip? That is something I could take into work with me...xx
It is just me & my husband for christmas so I am doing a non-traditional dinner. We do ours at night & have appetizers during the day. I will cook all of this on Christmas Eve & we will eat it through Boxing Day. Mind you my portions will be very tiny.
Appetizers:
Shrimp with mustard dip
Healthy deviled eggs
Raw veg with spicy yogurt dip
Sausage balls (my one indulgence that I plan, store bought and all)
Dinner:
Marinated pork loin w/creamy sauce
Roasted winter veg
Spiced whipped sweet potatoes w/toasted pecans
Sugar-free cranberry sauce
Sweets:
Cream Cheese Cookies
Fresh Fruit Parfait or
Sugar-free Apple dumplings (haven't decided)
Might make some sugar-free fudge, we'll see
This is a simple recipe that can be made in minutes and adjusted to your fav spice:
Simple Spicy Yogurt Dip
2 tsp chopped chipotle chillies (without seeds unless you want your eyes to water!)
200ml/7fl oz low-fat yoghurt* (greek style from ASDA works well, less runny)
squeeze of lemon or lime juice
¼ red pepper, finely chopped
1/2 tsp Cajun spice seasoning (very hot), or Indian seasoning (medium hot) or Caribbean seasoning (mildly hot)
salt and freshly ground black pepper
Chill for 1 hour before serving.
*If yogurt looks runny, drain excess liquid and then stir before adding other ingredients. If it still looks runny you can add a tablespoon of low-fat cream cheese to make it a more 'solid' dip.
