 Spicy sausages like pepperoni are very high in syns as they are usually very high in fat but this recipe makes a very low fat and syn free pepperoni. I love to use pepperoni in recipes and thought could use this sliced on slimming world pizzas or in a pasta sauce or even for snacking I think it's very versatile. 

  I scoured the web for recipes that would be suitable for slimming world and found this one from 'Tammy's recipes' but altered it to use what we can easily get in the UK and it worked really well. (Thanks Tammy!)
