Tuna Sandwich With Onions

There’s nothing more refreshing on a hot summer day than this easy dinner recipe. No need to cook, no battling to get this hot food in whilst you are dying of heat. Simply put your tuna and other ingredients on the sandwiches, or put everything in little bowls on the table and have your family doing it themselves.

Ingredients

• 4 whole grain rolls
• margarine or low-fat spread
• 1 small lettuce, washed and torn into pieces
• 3 cans of shredded tuna in water (170 g each), drained
• 1 onion, sliced
• salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Steps

1. Cut the rolls in half and put a thin layer of margarine on.
2. Then put a layer each of lettuce, tuna and onion on, sprinkle with salt and pepper and serve.

Tip: If you like it hot, you can simply place the rolls under the hot grill for 5 to 10 minutes until they are warm and the onions start getting golden. For this grilled version of the tuna sandwich, you can also sprinkle some grated cheese on top before you bake it.

Muffins With Carrot And Walnut Raita

Raitas are asian yoghurt dishes with vegetables or herbs. Here is a fat-reduced version of one of my favourites:

Ingredients

• 35 g walnuts, chopped
• 40 g raisins
• 2 carrots, grated
• 185 g low-fat yoghurt (plain)
• 1 tsp. ground cardamom
• 1 tsp. ground cumin
• ¼ tsp. red curry powder or cayenne pepper

Steps

1. Mix walnuts and raisins and set a few teaspoons aside for decoration.
2. Mix all remaining ingredients thoroughly in a bowl.
3. Cut 4 whole grain muffins in half, spread a teaspoon of the raita on each half and decorate it with the walnut-raisin-mixture.
4. Store the remaining raita in the fridge in a closed container and use it up within a few days.

Tip
Alternately, you can serve the raita with whole grain rolls, break a piece of roll off and dip it the raita.

Grilled Fruity Kebab Sticks With Honey And Cardamom

A healthy fruity dessert with almost no fat and relatively little sugar added. It draws its main sweetness from the fruits and honey.

Ingredients

• ¼ small pineapple, cut into bite-size pieces, or a small can of pineapple pieces
• 1 peach, cut into pieces
• 1 banana, sliced thickly
• 16 strawberries

For the syrup:

• 2 tbsp. honey
• 20 g good margarine, melted
• ½ tsp. ground cardamom
• 1 tbsp. rum or amaretto (optional)
• 1 tbsp. brown sugar

Instructions

• Place 8 wooden sticks for 20 minutes into cold water so that they won’t burn under the grill.
• In the meantime, cut the fruit and prepare the syrup by simply mixing all ingredients in a bowl.
• Put the fruits by turns onto the sticks and dab them with the syrup.
• Place the kebabs into a lightly greased ovenproof dish and grill them for about 5 minutes. After half of the time, dab them with syrup again.
• Serve the fruity kebabs with the remaining syrup and yoghurt.

Serves 4.

Tip
If you have a bit more time, you can pour the syrup over the kebabs, cover them and marinate them for about an hour to enhance the flavor. You can also serve 500 g low-fat yoghurt with the kebabs (125 g per person). Choose plain yoghurt or a fruity version, just as you like, but make sure it’s unsweetened.

Hawaiian Toast

If you love fruit and oven-baked dishes topped with cheese, this will be one for you! My family just can’t get enough of it.

Ingredients

• 4 slices of whole grain toast
• low-fat margarine
• 4 slices lean ham
• 1 small can pineapple rings (should contain 4 rings)
• 4 slices low-fat cheese
• yellow curry powder

Instructions

• Preheat the oven on maximum temperature.
• Spread the margarine on the toast and place it on a baking tray covered with baking paper.
• First put a slice of ham on each toast, then a pineapple ring. Cover with a slice of cheese.
• Grill the toast for approximately 5 minutes until the cheese has melted and slightly browned. 5. Sprinkle a bit of curry over the cheese and serve immediately.

Serves 4.

Tip
A lovely variation is to replace the pineapple rings with canned peach halves.
If you double the recipe, you got a lovely light supper. You might then want to serve a light green salad as a side dish, or a light soup before hand.
