A special meal for Sunday

Today, I had a meal with my family. I was charged with choosing the menu and preparing the meal and had to give thought to how I could avoid going off my intended good Dukan day and yet give them a meal that they would happily eat....Well here's what I did:
Dukan friendly option: Carrot and Swede mash (see recipe below), with a chicken salad (with some seasoned normandy fromage frais for a dressing) and some skinless jerk chicken

Non Dukan option: Potato and cheddar chese mash, chicken salad with mayonnaise  and skinless jerk chicken.

For desert, we had yoghurt with fruit compote followed by cake.
The Dukan option was low fat vanilla yoghurt and the cake was Dukan chocolate cake.

It went down a treat!

Carrot and Swede mash:

In farm foods, there is frozen julliene carrots  and frozen swede. If not, buy fresh and peel.

Boil equal parts in minimum water until cooked.

Drain water and place in a blender.

Add quark and season to taste (salt, black pepper, etc.)

Voila! A Dukan friendly mash,

I wish you all a successful Dukan week ahead!

    You might know it as rutabaga...It is a 'sweedish turnip'.
    See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rutabaga for a picture and information.

    What is quark? Sounds so delicious! I mash cauliflower to make my 'mashed potatoes'. Tastes gross cold but cook it a bit in the oven, yum!

      unaged curd cheese (not cottage chese)
      see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quark_(cheese)
      It is quite cheap and available in every supermarket in the UK.
      I have tried the mashed cauliflower and used it in place of potato mash. Again, with quark, it is lovely and goes well with gravy etc. From your suggestion (coking it in the oven) I will use it to top a spiced mince and make a 'deconstructed' cottage pie.
