Dukan diet made tasty

Galettes

The Galettes seem to be important to this diet, and they can be used a number of ways. The Dukan recipe book suggests one a day, but they're a faff to make, so we scaled up the recipe to suit a tub of quark, make a batch load and freeze them in sets of five. The following recipe makes between 12 and 15 galettes.

1 tub quark
9 large eggs
dried provence herbs
130 grams oatbran (moonflake)
splash of skimmed milk

The original recipe doesn't have herbs and doesn't have the milk. The herbs add flavour and the milk lets down the mix a bit to make it easier to make.

Essentially blend all the ingredients in a bowl until mixed, add enough milk to get something that's the consistency of a reasonably thin custard. Heat a frying pan to quite hot and wipe round with oil to stop it sticking. The galette will be quite thick and prone to breaking, so the oil is needed to help release it. Pour in some of the mix, (for us it's about two thirds of a ladle), run it round the pan and leave it to cook until the edges are slightly browning, the tops cooked and the galette lifts. Flip with the aid of a spatula and quickly move around the pan for ten seconds or so. Turn out and onto the next one

Jane uses the galettes as a substitute for tortillas

    - topped with crab salad
    - topped with garlic prawns with salad onions
    - topped with curried chicken with onion

as a sandwich wrap with protein of some kind, or sliced finely as a substitute for noodles, stir fried with onions, chilli, corriander, ginger, water chestnuts etc (can't believe they have much carbohydrate)
