Phew! Get your mouth around that! The name & the burger! There are days when I seem to use my points quickly & they’re nearly all gone by lunch, then there are other days when I’ve barely used any points come dinnertime, well today was one of those days and I haven’t really felt like eating that much the last few days after being in pain with my back but following a visit to the chiropractor earlier today I’m feeling a good bit better & I’m making up for it with Dinner. This makes 4 Burgers & it’s 14pp including the fries. I hope you enjoy!

Pepperoni French Bread Pizzas with Chunky Fries & Garlic Mayonnaise

Dried Parsley
Salt & Pepper
Red Onion
Red Sweet Ramiro Pepper
40g Reduced Fat Mozarella

Cook the Petit Pan Roll according to instructions & allow to cool fully. Meanwhile Peel & Chop Potato into chip shapes & place on a plate in the microwave for 3 minutes. Remove & place on a baking tray sprayed with sprayoil in an even layer. Bake in a preheated oven at 200c for approx 25 to 30 minutes until browning & cooked through. Meanwhile split the petit pan roll lengthwise with a sharp knife. Mix the Passatta & Puree, some oregano & salt & pepper well in a bowl, spread liberally over the petit pain halves.
