Heat oil in a saucepan. Add garlic and sauté until brown. Add remaining ingredients and reduce heat. Simmer for 15 minutes until thickened.

fruit based barbecue sauce is sweet and hot. It works perfectly on poultry and pork. If you make it in advance the heat from the habanero will have time to mix with the other ingredients.

Banana & Strawberry Lolly

Ingredients

* 2 Medium Bananas
* 12 x Strawberries (180g)
* 2 Tbsp Natural Low Fat Bio Yoghurt

Method

1. Slice up the fruit.
2. Throw all the ingredients into a blender and blend till smooth.
3. Divide into 4 lolly makers and freeze over night.

Yoghurt Cake or Yoghurt Muffins

20cm / 8″ cake tin, bottom lined with baking paper or greased with butter and dusted with flour

Oven temperature 170C fan / 190 C / 375 F / Gas 5

Wet Mixture
250 grms / 1 cup of thick plain yogurt
120 grms / 1 stick of butter melted (if using unsalted add 1/4 teaspoon of salt)
3 large eggs, lightly mixed together until blended
1 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract (not essence)

Mix all together in a bowl.

Dry Mixture
275 grms / 2 cups of plain flour (all purpose)
200 grms / 1 cup of granulate or caster sugar
1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda (baking soda), slightly rounded spoon

Mix all together in a separate bowl.

1-2 tablespoon of milk

FRUIT – if you want to add berries you can add as much as a cupful or a little as a handful.

Once you have the two separate bowl ready you can leave like this for a long time, you can even leave it overnight just put the yoghurt mixture in the fridge. Once you mix the two together however you can’t wait around as the bicarbonate of soda will start to react with the yoghurt and you want to make sure it does most of its work in the oven. For this reason make sure the tin is ready beforehand.

Mix the dry ingredients with the wet ones and using a large spoon fold the two together until it’s all mixed and you can no longer see any flour.

The mixture should be slightly sloppy, not stiff and should fall off the spoon quite easily if it’s not add between 1 to 2 tablespoons of milk. If you are folding in fruit do it at this stage. When everything is mixed pour into prepared tin and bake for 40 mins. Check after 35 mins. If making muffins bake between 15-20 mins.

3 large eggs, lightly mixed together until blended
2 teaspoon of vanilla extract (not essence)

Mix all together in a bowl

310 grms / 2 1/2 cups of plain flour (all purpose)
