OH MY WORD.
The way to live under the line is definitely with CARBS.
We had samp and beans for dinner last night at Cell Group - I fell on my plate and declared it to be "THE BEST MEAL EVER" - hunger does that to you...
It really was an eye opener and I'm wondering about my food budget. Samp won't do me any favours in the carb avoidance, but it is VERY TASTY (maybe it's the butter? Which in my mind isn't optional) and affordable.

SAMP & BEANS
(Serves 10-12)
INGREDIENTS
1kg samp and bean mix (rinsed and soaked overnight)
2 onions, sliced
50ml butter (optional)
2ml nutmeg
2 cloves garlic, crushed (optional)
5ml allspice
Oil
Salt and pepper
METHOD
1. Pour off the water after soaking and place the samp and bean mix in a large saucepan
2. Cover with water and simmer slowly until the samp and beans are nearly soft and most of the water has evaporated (Add extra water if necessary and season well with salt)
3. In the meantime, sauté the onion and garlic in a little oil until soft
4. Add the cloves, allspice, and onion mixture and continue to simmer until the samp mix is completely soft
5. Season with nutmeg and black pepper and extra salt to taste if necessary
6. Stir in the butter and serve hot
