Nutrition labels on the front of packaging

  • Most of the big supermarkets and many food manufacturers display nutritional information on the front of pre-packed food.
  • Front of pack nutrition labels provide information on the number of grams of fat, saturated fat, sugars and salt and the amount of energy (in kJ and kcal) in a serving or portion of a recipe.
  • The labels also include information about reference intakes (expressed as a percentage) which are guidelines about the approximate amount of particular nutrients and energy required for a healthy diet.
  • The colour coding tells you at a glance if the food has high (red), medium (amber) or low (green) amounts of fat, saturated fat, sugars and salt.
  • The more greens on the label, the healthier the choice
  • Amber means neither high nor low, so you can eat foods with all or mostly ambers on the label most of the time.
  • Reds on the label means the food is high in that nutrient and these are the foods we should cut down on. Try to eat these foods less often and in small amounts.

Food shopping tips

If you’re trying to decide which product to choose, check to see if there's a nutrition label on the front of the pack. This will help you to quickly assess how your choices stack up. You will often find a mixture of red, amber and green colour coding for the nutrients. So when you're choosing between similar products, try to go for more greens and ambers and fewer reds if you want to make a healthier choice.

Ingredients

  • 8 (400g) Pork Sausages (choose reduced fat whenever possible)
  • 2 Medium (300g) Onions
  • ½ Teaspoon (1g) Dried Mixed Herbs
  • ½ Teaspoon (4g) Mustard
  • 1 (7g) Vegetable Stock Cube (use reduced salt whenever possible)
  • 1 Pint (600ml) Boiling Water
  • 1 Pinch Black Pepper to taste

  • 12 Medium (1kg) Potatoes
  • 5 Teaspoons (25g) Low Fat Spread
  • 10 Tablespoons (300g) Frozen Green Peas

This recipe has been added to your Meal Planner.

Allergy Disclaimer

Always check the label of each ingredient for allergy warnings.

Method

To make the sausages and onion gravy:

  1. Heat the frying pan on a medium heat. Add the sausages to the pan and fry for 10 minutes, turning occasionally so they don't stick.
  2. Peel and slice the onions and add to the pan once the sausages are golden brown on all sides.
  3. Crumble the stock cube into the boiling water and add the dried herbs and mustard. Mix well.
  4. Add the stock to the pan, leaving a small amount of stock to mix with the flour. Mix the flour and stock into a paste.
  5. Bring the stock to the boil and simmer gently for 2-3 minutes. Add the paste and stir with a fork or whisk until the gravy has thickened. Add black pepper to taste.
 

To make the mash and peas:

  1. Peel the potatoes and chop them into small cubes.
  2. Boil the potatoes in a pan of boiling water until they are tender.
  3. Drain the potatoes and mash with the low fat spread with a fork or masher. Add black pepper to taste.
  4. Cook the peas in a saucepan of boiling water for 2-3 minutes.
  5. Serve the sausages, mash and peas with onion gravy poured on top.

Time Saver Tips

To save time, prepare and start boiling the potatoes while the sausages are frying and cook the peas once the stock has been added to the sausages. Another quick way to thicken gravy is to stir in a tablespoon of cornflour. Or you could try using a reduced-salt gravy mix.

Tips for Kids

Your wee one will love to mash the potatoes – your very own little helper in the kitchen! Using reduced fat or veggie sausages is an easy way to make this super healthy, so there’s less fat on their plates. Some kids might prefer gravy without onions, and it’s still tasty without them. You could even add extra veg – like carrots or sweetcorn with the peas. This can be fresh, frozen or out of a can. Using reduced fat or veggie sausages is an easy way to make this super healthy, so there’s less fat on their plates.

Allergy Disclaimer

Always check the label of each ingredient for allergy warnings.

Method

  1. Peel carrots, onion and swede. Remove outer layer of leek and wash celery.
  2. Dice all vegetables.
  3. Place vegetables in a large pan and add boiling water. Add stock cubes and pearl barley to the pan and stir, allowing stock cubes to fully dissolve.

Tips for Kids

Chopping the vegetables extra small or blending them is a good way to help your kids eat more if they’re a bit squeamish about their veggies. Letting them help you prepare the vegetables might also make your little one more likely to eat their veggies! Try serving with wholemeal bread to up their fibre intake.

Cost Saver Tips

One easy way to pad out their plate is to serve it with your favourite toasted bread. Wholemeal bread will help your little one get some extra fibre, too. But if they aren't keen on wholemeal toast try 50:50.

Tips for Kids

They’ll love being a little helper, cracking the eggs. Just remember to wash their hands after handling raw eggs. You could also try scrambled egg on a toasted muffin. Or why not add some tomato to your egg? This would make a nice lunch.

Method

  1. Wash both types of fish with cold running water, pat dry with a paper towel and cut into small pieces (1cm X 1cm).
  2. Peel the onions and garlic then wipe and slice mushrooms, dice the onions and crush the garlic with the back of a knife.
  3. Heat the oil in a large pan then add the onion, garlic and mushrooms and allow them to cook gently without colour for a few minutes.
  4. Add the risotto rice to the pan and stir into the rest of the ingredients allowing the rice to be coated with the oil, again for a few minutes.
  5. Dissolve the stock cube in boiling water and gradually add it to the pan, allowing the rice to absorb the liquid between additions of more.
  6. For the last 5-10 minutes of the rice cooking, add the cut fish to the pan and stir in. Now add the yoghurt, parsley and pepper and finish cooking.
  7. The dish is ready to serve once the rice is cooked and the stock has been absorbed. Additional water may need to be added if the stock has been absorbed before the rice is cooked.

Cost Saver Tips

Look for offers on white fish- it doesn't have to be haddock. Frozen fish will be cheaper than fresh.

Tips for Kids

Take them to the fresh fish counter so they can buy their fish for the risotto

Nutrition labels on the front of packaging

  • Most of the big supermarkets and many food manufacturers display nutritional information on the front of pre-packed food.
  • Front of pack nutrition labels provide information on the number of grams of fat, saturated fat, sugars and salt and the amount of energy (in kJ and kcal) in a serving or portion of a recipe.
  • The labels also include information about reference intakes (expressed as a percentage) which are guidelines about the approximate amount of particular nutrients and energy required for a healthy diet.
  • The colour coding tells you at a glance if the food has high (red), medium (amber) or low (green) amounts of fat, saturated fat, sugars and salt.
  • The more greens on the label, the healthier the choice
  • Amber means neither high nor low, so you can eat foods with all or mostly ambers on the label most of the time.
  • Reds on the label means the food is high in that nutrient and these are the foods we should cut down on. Try to eat these foods less often and in small amounts.

Food shopping tips

If you’re trying to decide which product to choose, check to see if there's a nutrition label on the front of the pack. This will help you to quickly assess how your choices stack up. You will often find a mixture of red, amber and green colour coding for the nutrients. So when you're choosing between similar products, try to go for more greens and ambers and fewer reds if you want to make a healthier choice.
