I know... I know... its madness but just keep your eyes peeled...


With the bread roll... if you're going to make a 'sarnie' for your dinner... I don't think the 'Slims' or 'wraps' would cut it for me... its a fish finger sandwich, when I rule the world  batch bread will be compulsory but until then just indulge in the bread and enjoy it... if you're going for ketchup over tartar sauce then you can put those points towards the bread ...  if you're having this for lunch... then spare your points and be smarter with your choices... 



Here's another WW recipe using fish fingers with wraps might make a better lunch version... >>> HERE <<< 


Here's the HOW TO... 



The recipe is using 0% Greek Yoghurt for the Tartare Sauce... Personally not a big fan of tartar sauce... I'm all about the ketchup / relish ...

Tartar Sauce is basically mayo with pickles capers and mustard... if you wanted to replace the soft cheese and yoghurt with the Low Fat Mayo from Aldi it would work out a ProPoint lower per sarnie... 



          Tartar Sauce
          1 cup lighter than light mayonnaise
          1/2 cup chopped dill pickles
          1 teaspoon capers, chopped
          2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
          2 teaspoons chopped shallots
          2 Tbsp chopped scallions
          2 teaspoons lemon juice
          6 drops Tabasco sauce or more to taste
          Salt and pepper to taste

          Mix all ingredients together in a bowl.


If you're doing F&H then its 7 PP from your weeklies! 



It states you can add 1PP for some ketchup, I'm a 'Chef Tomato' gal and I LOVE Ballymaloe relish so without the tartar sauce I'm down to 6PP for the roll and fish fingers and ALL the salad...  



Also add all the freebies you love... Beetroot... do not knock it till you try it! Gherkins, spring onion... any zero point salad goodie can be added! 

For a fab zero point salsa, if you're not a tartar person...

          ProPoint Free Salsa

          5 large tomatoes
          1 red onion
          1 red chilli
          coriander (as much as you like... )
          1 clove of garlic

          finely chop all the ingredients and mix together ... season and serve!  





Prefer something hotter?

For a zero PP ketchup to make yourself... try... 

          0PP Ketchup

          1 onion
          2 garlic cloves
          2 x 400g chopped tomatos
          2 tsp ground cinnamon
          2 tsp celery salt
          2 tsp English mustard
          2 tsp ground white pepper
          4 tbsp artificial sweetener
          9floz/255ml red wine vinegar
          1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce


          Finely chop the onion and crush the garlic... 
          Place all the ingredients into a saucepan and bring to the boil... 
          Reduce the heat and cook gently for 40-45 minutes, stirring occasionally..
          Remove from the heat, season with salt and allow to cool... 
          Blend the tomato mixture in a food processor until smooth... Sieve into a bowl...
          Transfer the ketchup into a sterilised jar... 
          The ketchup will keep for up to 3 weeks in the fridge...
