I have plenty of butter so don't need much gravy.Tonight I chopped up the cauli leaf stalks, an onion, added some mushrooms and broccoli and fried it off in a pan with plenty of butter and some olive oil.  I added some of the chicken from the night before and the leftover gravy plus a little water and let it cook for about 15-20 minutes.  Meanwhile I baked a potato in the microwave.  My hub had the potato and some chicken mix and I just had a good bowlful of the chicken and veggie mix.  It was delicious.I often do a stir-fry with meat and veg.  It's quick and delicious.  I often use pak choi or choi sum sliced up, a courgette or two chopped up, onion and mushrooms and run a carrot or two through a 'mandolin' slicer and add that.  Its not too much to add much carb but adds a lovely orange twang to the mix.  You can use whatever veg you fancy.If you like sausages, M & S Premium ones are 93% pork - 8 for £2.29.  Unlike a lot of sausages which contain a lot of rusk and often consist of less than 50% meat, they are very meaty and low-carb (and gluten-free too).</blockquote>
