Ingredients

  • Fresh For You Pork Sausages
  • 1 Mission Deli Wrap/Soda
  • 100 grams tomato passata Per pizza base
  • cheddar cheese As much as you like
  • Red onion, peppers and any toppings you fancy

Method

  1. Pre-heat the oven to 220 degrees.
  2. Squeeze the sausage meat out of the skins and make them into mini meatballs. Add a little bit of oil to the pan and fry the sausage meat until it is lightly golden. You can break the meatballs up a bit to create little crunchy ‘mince-like’ pieces.
  3. Peel and finely slice the onions and peppers and any other vegetables you fancy, add to the pan and season. Cook for 5 minutes until soft.
  4. Place your wrap on a baking tray. Alternatively, you can use soda as your base.
  5. Spoon the passata over the base and add the sausage mixture on top, spreading it out evenly. Grate over the cheese.
  6. Cook in the oven for 5 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and the wrap is crispy. Swap the tray around on the shelf halfway through for even cooking.

Mindful Eating

Written by

Often the most difficult mindfulness exercise for many is to eat with mindfulness or ‘when you’re eating just eat’. So no TV, no social media, no phone, no friends and family, no newspapers just you and your meal! Easier said than done, but there are a few tricks.

1. Prepare your favourite food.

2. Prepare a nice space/table with a napkin

3. Load up your folk and put it down while you chew the food – don’t continue to load up the next mouthful!

4. Chew your food! Digestion begins in the mouth. It’s called mastication and it’s where the food is broken down. We should chew our food 50 times! Try for 20 – even the counting of chews will help you become more mindful.

5. Notice, taste, savour. Attend to the smells and flavours, listen to the sound of eating and drinking (it’s normal to make some noise!)

6. Maybe contemplate how the food got to be on your plate. If someone else made it, appreciating their efforts. If the food is from a far off land appreciating the journey the food has gone on and how many people were involved in delivering the food to you. If it’s local produce thank the farmers and locals who helped produce it.

7. Enjoy your meal.
