On Fast Days, mushrooms are my best friends! Well, in a manner of speaking in so much as they are low in calories yet always tasty and interesting. The combination of garlic and smoked paprika in the sauce make great flavours alongside the mushrooms and when served with courgette or cauliflower rice, this is the perfect low calorie Fast Day meal. I have added prawns (these are super low calorie too, and full of protein).
Slice 200g mushrooms (32 calories) into a frying pan and add a few sprays of oil (I use coconut oil). Add a crushed clove of garlic and cook quickly, stirring the pan to prevent sticking. Stir in 100g cooked prawns (100 calories). Add a tablespoon of smoked paprika and 35ml or a large tablespoon of reduced fat crème fraiche (57 calories). Turn the heat off to prevent the crème separating and mix the whole pan well before pouring over courgette noodles (courgette) or cauliflower rice. You could always serve with steamed rice for those who are not fasting.
